“This is the most partisan bill! It will destroy America! It’s evil!”

I thought I was perfectly clear that I was being pedantic?

Standard disclaimer: Yes they were all women of color. Yes the subtext is that it applies generally. No I’m not saying anything else that you’re assuming I’m saying. I’m not saying this is the biggest issue or that there aren’t other more important problems. I’m just saying the quote is wrong.

It makes sense - I think the “terrorism” compinents were always a longshot.

You can’t but a mega-yacht with “credibility”.

Honestly, I don’t know how pointing out that this was said about specific black women makes any difference to the quote. You seem to think it’s important.

Because quotes mean that it’s exactly what a person said. That’s the point. If you alter the quote you use [] to indicate the bits that have been paraphrased. It’s the intellectually honest way to quote.

I dunno man - maybe if you just called me an asshole a few more times I’d be nicer to you. 🤷

Why do you think otherwise?

Welcome to the internet! I hope you have fun here.

You think people both followed a link and read the contents of the page it led to?

I mean - I’m not frustrated - more amused than anything else. My hypothesis is that nobody actually read the snopes link and just assumed it said something otherwise. 🤷

Oh yeah. If I just posted that the quote was bad I surely wouldn’t be currently defending myself against accusations of “supporting Nazis”.

And the way you defended yourself preemptively makes you sound like you knew very well you were being pedantic and what the result would be.

Yeah - I’ve been around the internet before. You say “A” and you get 30 responses immediately for not saying “B”.

You don’t think I would have been accused of defending Kirk? Have you just created an account on social media for the first time?

Those canals are… Disgusting. Hopefully the dysentery they contract was worth it.

Lemmy is friggin’ hilarious. I get modded down for stating a fact. You post a snopes link which supports exactly what I said and you get modded UP.

That quote is inaccurate though… He said “you” referencing specific women.

I know you probably don’t care, but quotes do mean something, especially in journalism.

That is how you end up with en, EN, English, etc.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

On Sept. 11, 2025, people assumed that the Pentagon’s memorial ceremony marking the victims of 9/11 would be a somber, typical occasion.

Are these people unaware of who is president?

“They don’t understand how to interpret those results to make sure that they’re not being led down the wrong path,” said Silverman.

That is an incredibly charitable interpretation. They don’t care.

You’re just virtue signaling now.
