The Pentagon is scrambling to retain the main pipeline for new service members as disillusioned families steer young people away. This article is part of a series examining the problems confronting America’s military.
Once again, showing how much this country loves fucking everyone over, and then throwing a fit when people aren't happy with it. We aren't joining the military, having kids, or doing many things they want us to do because it's not worth it. At all. Why would I develop PTSD and risk homelessness with a drug addiction all so that weapon manufacturers can get another yacht?
The majority then announced, with an opinion from Chief Justice John Roberts, that it was overthrowing the student loan forgiveness program, granting a request from six Republican state attorneys general on behalf of a loan servicer, the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, that did not want to be used as a plaintiff....
The only other option is to bust out the guillotine. Waiting for them to die naturally is gonna take too long, they clearly will never retire if their own free will, and no one in charge seems to care enough to do anything about their crimes.
Less "calling for", and more so realizing that a lot of regimes in the world only got taken care of through people rising up. Sometimes violence has been needed, and that can be shown throughout this countries history.
I love KFC, when me and my family are poor(and still are) i would go and eat KFC like almost every single week and it was cheap here + Delicious aswell. I loved KFC Fries the Most, it was so delicious. If i had enough money, i would buy enough of KFC and be a fat man in the week LMAO...
I'm not a fan of the burgers. In general would rather just not get anything if that's the option. But their fries and breakfast items? The chicken nuggets? Yes. Hands down some of the best. I will fight someone for a McGriddle.
The White House cautiously endorsed the idea of studying how to block sunlight from hitting Earth’s surface as a way to limit global warming in a congressionally mandated report that could help bring efforts once confined to science fiction into the realm of legitimate debate.
Yeah, I never took it as preferential treatment or anything. Part of it is just that I used Boost for Reddit, so a part of me wants thinks it would be cool to continue to support them. I'll probably just stick here though. I'm sure eventually someone will make an app.
That's the part that pisses me off the most. All of this shit is happening because of lies. And the politicians know it's all lies. They don't care. Bread and circuses for their voters.
That last part is especially true. Even if they can't openly declare it, people need to do things like grocery shop and work where they live. If they can't do it, then they need to leave. Essentially forcing places to become all white, cis, het
People keep saying "But they will go out of business!" No they won't. We have seen this before. Chances has it they will he perfectly fine, because a lot of people won't care enough to do anything. Like people who kept going to Chick Fil A, even after we learned the owner was donating the conversion therapy camps.
Some people really look back at the Civil Rights Movement as a mistake and pretend to be the rational ones.
Civil rights groups and Democrats reacted angrily to the US supreme court decision in favor of the Colorado web designer Lorie Smith, who argued she had a first amendment right to refuse to provide services for same-sex marriages. Critics of the court’s decision say it ushers in a new era of prejudice in America....
None of it was brought up because it's all fake. They're not actually a web designer, and they were never approached by gay people. They "became a web designer" just for this court case they could argue "But what if this happens?"
That's where we are at in this country. That gets more rights than me, who doesn't get to choose not to be gay. I hate it here.
The Italian government has reportedly contacted Mark Zuckerberg regarding a potential UFC fight against Elon Musk at none other than the legendary Colosseum in Rome. Both Elon and
That's what I keep thinking. Like on one hand, watching Musk get beat up sounds entertaining. On the other hand, it's a publicity stunt and feels like the next step towards Idiocracy.
If we just go off of gut feelings then we are all falling for a lot of fake shit. All they need to do is just make it sound real enough. Then they rope you in, and slowly make it more and more crazy.
Like if you show me a headline saying JFK Jr is secretly alive, and will come out of hiding to say he's secretly the vice president and Trump has been the president the whole time, I would say that's fucking crazy and false... but people fell for it. They trusted their gut instincts, and that slowly lead them to the point where they gathered outside for a week in Texas to wait for JFK Jr to come back. Because that's actually a thing that happened. Not even a joke.
So while it can be helpful, and should be listened to, you should also be willing to sometimes put it to the side and read an article every now and then.
Edit: I will say though, at some point it is worth disregarding. Like I know it's a fallacy to attack information because of the source... but some sources really just aren't worth listening to. So some site like Stormfront is posted, I won't beleive it till I see something else.
So YouTube has a lot of problems, there's no denying that. Frivolous and selective (not to mention automated) copyright enforcement, bureaucratic termination appeal system, COPPA idiocy, the whole clusterfuck that is monetization, etc?...
It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit....
One of my good friends does tattoos, and he doesn't do them for pretty much this exact reason. Like on one hand, fuck Nazis and he doesn't want to do it. On the other hand, money is money. They're gonna get it done, so might as well be the one that gets paid.
But ultimately he doesn't want to make anyone else who comes in uncomfortable, and he doesn't want to slowly become known as the guy who does all the Nazi tattoos. It makes him look bad and means he will get fewer people. So it's best to just tell them no.
If me and you are having a discussion, but the topic is the fact that I want to kill you, how long will it take before you stop wanting to talk to me?
"But it's just words!"
Well, we know that's not true, so how long would it take before you stopped wanting to be around me?
Oh, also I promote pediphelia. Just as a little fun thing. Just the casual story of raping kids.
I get the appeal. I do. I 1000% do. I get it. But also fuck Nazis. I don't want to be around them. I'm gay, so they don't want to be around me. Fuck pedophiles. I don't want to be around them. So if a site is filled with Nazis and pedophiles, I'm gonna go to a different site. Now you have an echo chamber of Nazis and pedophiles. The thing you wanted to avoid. But you're stuck with only talking to Nazis and pedophiles.
Meanwhile the bubble without Nazis is a really large bubble encompassing everything except Nazis and pedophiles.
Well we don't use it for just anyone who has any different opinion. So the problem right there is solved. We do use it frequently. But that's when we see thing like homo/transphobia(Nazis hated queer people), antisemitism(another group Nazis hated), racism(also Nazis), and sexism(once again, Nazis). There seems to be a pretty fucking large overlap of what modern day Republicans preach and what the Nazis preached. Including as of lately "eradicating transgenderness" and "erasing communities." As well as the amount of terrorist attacks that ha e actively been encouraged.
So if you would prefer we could just call everyone bigot, since that includes them all and not everyone personally considers themselves a Nazi, but I hardly see the difference between a Nazi, the KKK, Proud Boys, 3%ers, etc, when they all preach the exact same stuff. At that point you're not arguing anything except semantics. It's like the whole "race realism" thing. It's racism, but more palatable to racists who think the name racist is mean, but not the mentality.
I guess another way to look at it is as people keep bringing up, but there's a German saying about this. If you have a table with 9 people and 1 Nazi, you have 10 Nazis.
This also doesn't change the actual argument being made, which is about a forum that is open. In which case, you do get Nazis. Like not even what we mean when we call Nazis as Nazis, but people who call themselves Nazis. We have seen that over and over and over. You get Nazis, and you get pedophiles. Then everyone else starts to leave and you are stuck with Nazis and pedophiles.
So once again, I get the mentality behind it. In a lot of ways I would love a site like that. But it's also a little different for those of us that are having people call for our deaths on a regular basis.
I would argue the up vs down is left vs right. Because it's ultimately a fight against capitalism and fascism. Because while it is ultimately rich vs poor, they're using the bigotry to get people to follow them, and simply ignoring genocide in order to hopefully get poor people put of poverty just means millions die along the way. We can't just say fuck it let the trans people die cause I'm poor. Then you're no better than the people you claim to be against.
So it should just be rich vs poor, but it's not, because too many people fall for their rich's tactics.
I gavent really been messing much with Yuzu much yet(was gonna give them a bit to get it working even better). What does it mean with support for concurrent installs?
It's cool. I'm fine. Don't worry. It's fine.
