This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that's what's happening. I'm sure they'd prefer to frame it as "making sure our community doesn't get taken down by The Man"

somewhere, a criminal: Oh man, you mean all I have to do is take my license plate off, dress like a tacticool office worker, put on a mask and I'm just allowed to kidnap people??? SCORE!!!

Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it's on a private island.

Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!

OK, boomer

Well yeah, if you're trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

The moment I heard someone say "we cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons" I immediately thought of the Back to the Future scene where Marty goes "Hey I've seen this one before!"

As an American, seconded.

I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

The "I'm doing the thing you're doing but throwing it back at you" and "thanks or whatever" definitely is.

They're being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn't necessary.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

the “optimal” economic path during climate change

The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.

But that requires looking past the next quarter.

Also I'm convinced economics "professionals" have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. "I know it's bullshit but they're giving me money, so..."

The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.

Quark, you've been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.

Don't make me get Odo.

.... "FeEmAlEs"... you ferengi sure know how to raise 'em....

crazy journalistic cowardice

That's all we've been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.

And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn't like, it's even worse.

All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.

Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don't want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

So far I have yet to see ANY form of ICE in uniform with proper identification visible, so as far as I am concerned these kidnap victims would have been within their constitutional right to defend themselves by any means necessary, using whatever force they can. If that means ICE start getting executed when they "forget" these things, well so be it. It's what they deserve for dressing like that/behaving like that/insert right wing excuse for assaulting women a minorities here.

I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.

5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan

One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.

I am surrounded by morons.

From a certain point of view.

"Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene"

... Probably Americans.

reads the very next line

Wow, I'm soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.

Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???

"genocide is okay as long as it's the right people"

-someone insane

Can we just tow them both beyond the environment?
