When I Hear Florida Schools Will Teach How Slavery Brought ‘Personal Benefit’ to Black People

  • With the amount wallstreet has profited off of oil, they also deserve it.

    • I actually find this talking point so braindead that, to this day, I still have a hard time believing that people genuinely believe it.

  • Pol Pot should be a uncontroversial pick.

  • Because people who can't make their own discussions need an authority to follow. In the US, they turn to fox news, AM radio, or manosphere podcasts. Most of them have serious daddy issues.

  • Certainly been a few waving the flag of socialism/communism that have lead to those consequences.

  • First time hearing about that?

    Imagine having the US having a president that actually cared about climate change. The powers that be couldn't risk another Jimmy Carter.

  • I know what it's a portmanteau of. It's fucking stupid.

  • Where the hell did you find the term "Scienceface". I just checked with Google Trends and there's not enough instances to chart any use.

  • I've seen it used to end discussions. People repeat the wisdom of the phrase without understanding what you just said.

    • 'Do not, for the love of God, tell kids that slavery was beneficial'

  • Some are actually trying to bring company towns back. In some countries, Walmart pays their employees, in whole or in part, with gift cards.

  • I mostly agree with you, but it's often used as a phrase to shut down further discussion even when there could be an invisible third event that's the cause for the two seemingly unrelated events. It's gets over used by people who want to be quick to sound smart.

  • They're already on the way to doing that. The slow striping of worker's rights won't have a natural end until everyone but the elites are serfs.

    • reddit it's time to go

    Jump

  • I had a common usename and a common first 6 letters of the password. Then 3 numbers that were different from each forum and that was written down. Not great, but it would take some serious leaps of logic even if my system was compromised. I also took password generation more seriously if it was attached to a payment system, so things like Amazon, ebay or PayPal had much larger, more random passwords.

  • I remember an old story about a father deleting bat.exe off the family computer and blaming his son for breaking the computer with his Batman game.

  • Non techies have two settings. Either everything is a virus or nothing is a virus.

  • Ease of use for the moderators and end users. How many user names and passwords would I have to keep track of before? The effort isn't much, but it adds up.

  • You are imposing a political view onto people who you have never talked to politics to for your own sake.

  • Different groups. The Freemasons, which is a real group, but not as occult as pop culture would have you believe, had more to do with the founding of the US. Freemasons also had connections with the French Revolution.

    The Puritans are the group you're describing.
