IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.
(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)
“Cancel culture” was never anything but right-wing projection. It is purely a propaganda term meant to demonize the practice of applying well-deserved consequences to bigoted and abusive behavior.
Retaliation against normal people for calling out hate isn’t “cancel culture;” it’s just more abuse.
Step 1: meow for restrictive clothes.
Step 2: tonic immobility.
Step 3: return to kitteh.
It’s the hypocritical asymmetric application of the policy that’s the issue here. Employers are retaliating against non-fascist workers for refusing to do work supporting fascist ideology at exactly the same time as they’re rabidly defending fascist workers refusing to do work that goes against fascist ideology.
When is somebody finally going to retaliate against Libs of TikTok?
Use a tool with a long handle, like a shovel or one of those grabber things, to pick up the wasp-y pears and throw them in the desired direction. Wear protective clothing (long pants, long sleeves, gloves, hat, bandanna wrapped around your face, IDK) if you’re overly paranoid about stings.
That’s not a “warning,” that’s a threat.
It is just and righteous to threaten them in kind and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
“Alt-right” is a bit of an obsolete euphemism at this point (since normal people are finally starting to catch on that those of us who’ve been calling them “fascists” for a decade really weren’t exaggerating), but it’s not inaccurate.
There needs to be protests to force them to be reinstated. We have to have solidarity to fight this.
They need to be made to understand that capitulating to the fascists – let alone being one – is worse for them than standing up to them.
The trouble is that – at least for now – the worst things we can call them aren’t considered slurs.
sending people to countries other than their own
That by itself ought to be considered a crime against humanity.
Tolerance is not a paradox; it is a social construct. The difference between the assassination of the Minnesota state rep and the assassination of Charlie Kirk is that the Kirk was openly inciting violence against others. He rejected the social construct and was thus no longer protected by it.
Or Mission burritos, or NY-style pizza, or General Tso’s chicken, or…
Does “American” count as a cuisine? 'Cause it encompasses just about everything else, as long as I don’t need it to be “authentic.”
As soon as you take down that barrier, every town hall meeting and rubber chicken fundraiser means slapping palms with a bunch of anti-vax assholes who are absolutely dripping with contagion.
LOL, Republicans have been fleeing from their constituents and mostly refusing to hold those sorts of events for years now already.
They don’t give a shit about herd immunity because they literally only ever interact with other elites.
Must be nice to have politicians capable of feeling shame.
Zero useful information about which routers are vulnerable. I’m just gonna assume my fully up-to-date OpenWRT with a non-default password isn’t.
People use touchscreens for accessing ATMs in the States.
Have you ever noticed how frequently they end up partially opening the car door and leaning out in order to reach (either because of a mismatch between screen height and car window height, or because they didn’t have the precision driving skills to pull in close to the machine without hitting it)? It’s pretty often, just sayin’. But yes, it could be done the same way for fast food.
On a related note, I kinda miss the old pneumatic tube systems banks used to use, despite them being car-centric.
WTF? That pot is not complicated enough to require that much labor, especially when they still managed to fuck it up. In a country of 250+ million people, surely it shouldn’t have been that hard to find a competent engineer and metalworker to help them with it, right?
