Who was it intended toward?
Someone that hasn’t watched TV since the 1980’s? ChatGPT, for when someone invariably turns it loose on the fediverse?
It’s not niche as a concept. Your explanation is known worldwide.
Its inclusion in the discourse is unwarranted.
Next time you feel the need to add a disclaimer that justifies/explains/adds caveats to racist language: fucking don’t.
I think the vast majority of his current supporters are self-hating and want to make others feel as badly about life as they do - without realizing it, of course.
I could see someone coming to resent him while still holding the Republican “deplorables” identity. He is functionally above the law. Still ripping people off. Still pretending to be something he’s not and will never be. And they still have crappy little lives.
But who knows? I’m just a rando.
We’ll never know the intent or reasons of the first shooter. It’ll be interesting once the second guy’s story comes out.
Obviously the story about Haitians is fake and racist. The real story is that an American woman did get arrested for torturing, killing, and eating a cat in front of other people in Canton, Ohio, which is about 170 miles (~275 km) from Springfield. one comment down.
Politifact: Arrest of a Canton, Ohio, woman unrelated to baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield
However, my preferred theory is that JD Vance heard that liberals eat pussy, and the random hateful sentiment generator in his head came up with migrants eating cats.
So they got a group of people who suffer from workplace safety violations at higher rates than other populations, and those work involves industrial chemicals that get used on food, buildings, and lawns, and concluded more study was needed on climate change?
Yeah, sure, and consuming eggs causes high blood pressure amongst smokers.
Editing to add: News stories and studies like this are a misuse of science reporting and science funding. It sets back research, muddies the waters on the real causes of these issues, and treats climate change as if it’s a trivial catch-all where chemical companies can just do bad science to cover for continuing to make unsafe goods.
Maintaining a policy of radical annoyance, I see.
I’m not one for political branding , but I’d wear a shirt with that image/ text that says “Shirtless guys on meth riding alligators for Harris”
I think everyone would think I’m on their side.
I like to look up stuff, even if I’m not remotely qualified to understand the results.
Tartrazine induces structural and functional aberrations and genotoxic effects in vivo
Is tartrazine really safe? In silico and ex vivo toxicological studies in human leukocytes: a question of dose
My (thin) grasp of things is that even though it’s a food additive, it’s not heavily studied, and not at higher doses, but the two studies above don’t paint a great picture. And slathering it on your skin is definitely more than you’d come into contact with than what’s needed to color food.
So, yeah - not a parlor trick I’d do to gross out my friends.
I hope that’s not the case, but he’s rapidly declining, anyway.
I don’t really care if he’s ever imprisoned, so long as he loses and the cult that follow him and the sociopaths that fund/back him are left without their messiah/useful idiot in a position of power.
The article I read mentioned this person has co-morbidities. Presumably, that’s why their symptoms are worse/they even got tested. Perhaps this means that it only weakly infects humans (currently, anyway). Hence the lack of prior detection.
I’m sure we’ll start to see more community cases. Hopefully that won’t translate to the virus mutating further in ways that make it more infectious or harmful.
I’m pretty partial to trucker deer.
Heh. It’s because fursuits are hot.
I mean. Yeah. There’s only so much planning you can do to contain stupid.
A number of years ago a colleague wanted to download a song for a presentation. The site was blocked by our firewall, so they downloaded it to their phone, and transferred it from their phone to their work computer, then asked for my help to figure out why song.mp3.exe kept flashing a black screen and not playing any music.
This is both cowardly and very clever. It’s very strategic.
If trump wins, the sentencing hasn’t hurt his campaign and the case goes away. The Judge’s house doesn’t get doxxed to unstable people.
If Trump loses, his supporters cannot claim interference. But Trump can be sentenced and imprisoned before the next change of power.
Ugh. Fucking gross.
Reddit doesn’t even like Reddit.
Since about 2018, I’ve gotten the sense that most internet users know about Reddit, but are embarrassed to admit they know about Reddit.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I honestly can’t recall if it was some sort of geopolitical analysis in the comments or actual news anymore, but years ago I read that climate change and the collapse of the North Atlantic Current would eventually open up vast areas of Siberia to mining/drilling, improve farming conditions in Russia, harm farming, solar, and wind in Western Europe, while dropping the temps in Western Europe. It would also raise temps in the eastern/southern U.S. and make hurricanes more dangerous and economically damaging along the entire Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
What I read concluded that climate change would be a major boon to Russia and any sensible leader there would want to facilitate it.
The only charitable explanation I have for god is that the conditions for life on earth are just a side effect of whatever god was trying to do in another part of the universe entirely.
This galaxy isn’t full of god’s chosen. Merely the forgotten or never intended.
Hell, there’s a theory that the universe we see is actually the inside of a black hole. (It’s not a super widely accepted theory, mind you.) I could accept it as god has already discarded us.
If I believed in the existence of ‘god,’ anyway.
My understanding is that they are focusing on adding in “AI” features in a big way, and that’s why they cut development on the other work. 🫤
