The right has always been very organized. The church helps keep then organized. Fox News keeps them organized as they are all fed the same crap. Politically, the Tea Party helped organize the neonazis and neoconfederates, giving them a louder voice and recruited more of the like. Then the Tea Party rejoined the Republican party shoving it much further to the right. Around that time, they also figured out social media, which gave them an even louder voice.

When Obama was in office, the news wasn't as focused on them, so people that were living in Blue states weren't as aware. In the south, it was still a battlefield as you lived next to people with these beliefs.

It's their level of organization that has made the Republicans such a force to deal with. Before social media, the fringe groups stayed on the fringe of society and weren't given a voice through various forms of media. Since social media, they have a much stronger voice and we have discovered how easy it is for people to be manipulated, like with the Jade Helm scare in TX. If you don't remember this, there was a social media scare going around that Obama was going to take over TX and imprison those who didn't vote for him. The posts claimed that there were a bunch of Walmarts that had been emptied and were going to be used as makeshift prisons. The posts also claimed that Obama was hiding his plan from the public by claiming it was a training exercise named Jade Helm. So effective was the scare, that Greg Abbot (who still remains governor of TX) ordered the TX National Guard to watch the US army perform its training to prevent the army from arresting civilians. In reality, the US army was just performing practice exercises around Fort Hood, which is a little north of Austin. Years later, it was revealed that the scare was the work of a Russian troll farm experimenting with social media to see how disruptive they could be.

There were even people waving the battle flag of the Confederate army/navy when the neoconfederates invaded Congress on January 6, 2021.

I still can't believe that these people are getting such light sentences for taking up arms and invading the Capitol.

That's interesting, my labels and inbox, outbox etc are all underneath those

The only reason I've seen is for college professors and university property used for courses that study video and social media.

Interesting, I've seen that on desktop and mobile app for nearly a decade.

Gmail sorts email by tab. Click the triple lines and you'll see Primary, Promotions, and Social. Basically Gmail didn't like the word spam, so they named the folder promotions.

I think it's talking about emails in the Promotions tab with the word "ad" in a box at the beginning of the subject line.

Yeah, pretty much.

One time there was also an island that appeared in the Rio Grande that some people claimed as another country with a flag and everything. The US military kicked them off of it.

I thought that the treaty from the Spanish-American War made the Rio Grande neutral territory. Any land that appears in the middle of the river doesn't belong to either country.

Unless there have been other treaties that I didn't learn about in my history classes, the buoys technically are infringement on neutral territory.

Depends on where you go in Dallas. With all the megachurches and conversion camp HQs around the metroplex, it's also known as an evangelical Christian hotspot.

They posted a video 7 years or so ago about how great nationalism is. They even claimed that Ghandi and MLK were nationalists while attempting to change the definition of nationalism. It was like watching a nazi propaganda film.

Theoretically, it applies to everyone. The anti-sodomy laws also technically applied to everyone, but were only enforced against the LGBT community.

It is good that now they will at least screening those who have heterosexual intercourse, but most MSM still won't be able to donate with the various restrictions. Only MSM in a long-term relationship will be able to donate.

I can understand the biological reason for not allowing certain medications to avoid complications. However, they could still take blood and just keep it separate just as plasma centers that take MSM plasma do. If there really is a shortage, they should be taking everything being offered.

Technically still waiting on it to happen. If you've had anal sex, you still have to wait 3 months. So they are still discriminating against most MSM.

"It's colder than Christmas". For reference I live in TX, so it doesn't take much for it to be colder than Christmas (it's not uncommon for Christmas to be in the 80s F).

It's a play off Friend of Dorothy.

If it was a Foosball table, it could at least be used as a makeshift coat rack

Where did it release as an app? On the Google Play Store, searching "Voyager" gives a bitcoin app and navigation app.

Closed, it keeps the A/C in and other house noises out. It's also safer in the event of a fire or if someone breaks in.

It'd such a bad feedback loop. Employees don't always feel safe being honest at exit interviews, so they say what they think HR wants to hear and HR just takes it as fact. Then they build training like this based off what Former employees felt safe telling HR and the cycle continues.

The ping ping table at least lasts longer than a pizza party, but it's no more significant. When retiring, nobody wishes they ate more pizza or played more ping pong at work. They wish they had been able to grow and make more money so they'd be better taken care of.
