Anyone that wants to continue forcing harmful laws on human beings that are unlike themselves.

But the cons at the forefront do. If your one of the ones that doesn’t, consider strongly how the conservative mindset leads so many to that conclusion and/or why they vote republican to further that agenda.

Conservatives equate all of LGBTQ+ with pedophiles though. That’s why they use the phrase “grooming children” to describe talking about anything even remotely related to it, including the mere existence of it.

Not a slight, it was a mademesmile perspective. Something a Cosmic Cleric might say when someone belittles something they don’t fully understand. I’ve never been to one either but the comment made me want to go to there.

In an interesting and challenging field, yes, you need to be really good at it because everyone wants to do it. But if you are willing to work on anything, like an ASP.NET Web Forms site built in 2005, that the business is entirely dependent upon to function in even the most basic capacity, with more technical debt than anyone would ever care to deal with, and no time allowed to refactor, you can make quite a nice living.

Edit: How do I upload a gif without it turning into a giant webm player view? I had to hot link that to get it to not be annoyingly huge.

Assistant General Managers are even more serious so the sales people pick on them all the time.

Their defense is already established. It’s a “witch hunt”, “corruption”, “politically motivated”. Delegitimizing the current authority, where this kind of act is deemed illegal, is the goal. We have too many “uneducated” people, looking for “love”, in this country.

They cross the lines every day. Just a little. Problem is, the lines moves to compensate, instead of standing their ground.

Username checks out.

Never thought an empty old man, twiddling his thumbs, would draw me in more than the countless content streaming services have to offer, but here we are.

The argument that someone saying they “knew” something, without being able to provide a shred of evidence to support the claim, is somehow direct proof of said claim is, flat out, retarded. They’re not logicians.

Also, it might be a sobering thought to consider how many cops and soldiers are part of his base.

So… bend the knee? These traitors are losing legal battles daily, and it’s all over the news. Let’s keep it rolling.

Stop thinking that his base has an even remotely similar worldview to yourself

Every single person here is fully aware of that. You’re proposing that we, what? Just don’t do anything? And anything that is done on a legal level be hidden from public view?

They’re looking for someone that will let them get away with doing the awful things they want to do to people. They’re never going to change their minds about that. Ever. So we just… let them make that happen by letting them destroy democracy and law?

Let them “take action”. They’ve already seen what happened to “the loyalist” that helped with Jan 6th and they’re not swayed. The sooner they’re in prison, the better off we all are.

A hot take I heard was that maybe the strike will force the studios to release the actual good films they shelved because they were to stupid to see how good they were. I’m seeing a lot of unusual titles with actors I like, but I’m too busy working and watching stuff I’ve already seen 100 times to invest the time to check them out. I hope it’s true though.

You really thought it was that bad? YT replaced Discovery/Science channel for me over a decade ago.

No, it’ll be: “Why aren’t the democrat frauds being arrested too!?!?!?!?”. Everyone: “There’s no evidence”. Them: “It’s a conspiracy!” Everyone: “The few that have been found to have committed fraud, even by accident, have gone to prison. There’s no conspiracy.” Them: “They’re just part of the cover up, they’re probably plants.”

It’s exhausting just to list their predictable retorts, especially when you know it’ll never convince them and they’ll just start looping through the bullshit until “Everyone” just gives up. That’s how they win.

Later in the stage? The term was coined before the stage happened. End of WWI was supposedly the start and I don’t think the idea was that it would implode the instance the stage was hit. We got a bit of a bounce back with the tech boom, that’s clearly over. Unless another major frontier pops up that isn’t immediately sucked dry by the already rich, we’re at the end.

But actually, they’re bad for both reasons.
