BanMe

the term is "radicalized" but it's used so often it's lost all meaning. I'll bet good money these fucks were consuming conservative media, eventually one or both of them reached the tipping point where they basically thought they were soldiers in a day-to-day war, they feel emboldened because there are so many like-minded people bubbling up these days, they felt like they had a big community behind them thanks to the parasocial effects of conservative media.

These people obviously didn't grow up right, but absent today's fucked up hate pipeline that is conservative (read: almost all) media, I doubt they'd have been radicalized enough to do this.

It does show how right we were over the past decades, warning that latent racism had not ceased but instead was simmering under the surface of Everytown America.

Yeah I got back on FB after a 10-year absence for my nonprofit, and then Insta. Went as far as downloading the apps to my phone. Within 1 week my mood and productivity had completely collapsed. I was just sitting there slumped into my chair, like I was hooked up to an IV drug or something. I used to do the same with Reddit to an extent, and being banned there was actually good for me. Now I am - well that nonprofit, I started with all the time I wasn't wasting on Reddit. Fuck all that dopamine-addicted noise. I'm quitting weed this Christmas break, I want all my neurotransmitters back.

Whenever I hold up a bug, and say to everyone, "Look, a bug, of the true order of bugs," everyone leaves the room because I'm doing the bug speech again

Yeah the article says they just laid off the 50 employees, put the factory in mothballs, and then got real sad. No one is liquidating their company's assets let alone coming for their personal fortunes. It almost sounds like they wanted an excuse to retire and sell the assets at their leisure, and this gave them that opportunity...

From a treaty from the 40s. The Trump move would be to ignore the treaty and the "water debt" and demand new compensation for any water, hopefully they get that.

This was a cool thing about living in Seattle and any further north - in the summer it'd be dusk until 10pm. And the in the winter the sun would basically never appear. I guess it was less "cool" and more "insanity producing" but locals were used to it.

I assure you it's been a topic in their house, especially since they use those front gates to receive people in tuxes and ballgowns.

Also people use the light poles across the street to post nasty paper memes about Sarah, sometimes they get left up for weeks because they're angled so the staff can't see them.

We're neighbors with Sarah Huckabee Sanders and lots of folks let their dogs use the lawn outside her gates as a toilet - and I'm not saying I have encouraged my dog, or taken photos of it, or made it my Christmas card last year - but it's been a topic, "should we all be letting our dogs shit on her lawn, since her lawn crew cleans it up?" Yeah, we should. But it was a good thought exercise.

Cheese is weird because someone had to be like, well let's go ahead and store some milk in the stomach of an animal, but also they forgot about it under a chair for 3 months and then, upon finding it, thought, "well let's have a go anyway, despite it changing forms." And then eventually someone realized if you stuck it in certain caves it became delicious. So much human history just in that one food product there.

$5 says within a month he disparages Duckworth in the media for being a libtard

I became a dad at 43, not what I expected, and it is softening me in ways I always hoped for, and never thought I'd see. My family's rage problem has to stop with me, he can't see it.
