In the end, The Hill lied and Harris was right.
That's entirely up to them. I sure wish they wouldn't, but capitalism is what it is. And if the mass of metaphorical Beakers hangs their hat on each and every controversial word regardless of bias, then they're going to do that. If platforming chucklefucks keeps the lights on... So there it is.
There should be standards. Agreed. I have literally no say in that and my opinion means literally nothing on this. However, that doesn't mean calling meaningless shit like this out doesn't hurt the rest of us. I'm as sympathetic as the next person. It sucks. But if we are going to cry wolf and alligator tears every single time an already trash organization does a thing you - without a shadow of a doubt - expect them to do, then you are doing their work for them. Stop hitting yourself.
Take it on the chin, ignore them, and move on. I work in one of the most remote places on the planet with about 1000 conservatives, and these aren't the GOP "gays are cool now" conservatives, these are the "gays are pedophiles and we should exterminate them all" conservatives. These are InfoWarriors and flat earthers. Deep state theory is assumedly foundational and antiestablishmentarianism is the MO. I pointed out, a single time, that even Alex Jones said Trump was "mobbed up with the russians" and I have been known as "the liberal" since then. These proverbial tweakers are drawn to plausible deniability like a catalytic converter. Sure, they are the lowest common denominator when it comes to human prototypes, but they are also the low tide and they know it. If they can sanitize bigotry then the cool GOPers will be able to use them to justify it. So we (the opposition to authoritarianism) need to sterilize easily defensible shit like this.
Look at the replies I've received... All I did was point out the plot hole in the assertion implied by OP exposed by the reality that one could say that "the hill" did not say it themselves and furthermore that the hill has a giant warning at the top of the article that literally states they DO NOT hang their hat on opinion pieces (and btw, fuck the hill but they do). All I'm pointing out is to not say the hill explicitly called Harris a liar, because based on the facts, they didn't. Several replies still allude to the culpability of the hill... Which is best case scenario semantic when totally generalized, but more likely consolatory and akin to someone splitting hairs over "travelling" in street basketball.
"The right" could say that "the left" would polish brass on the titanic. And we could know that they'd said it too. But here we are, God forbid we pass a single piece of brass without giving it a mirror shine and then gasp Pikachu faces when the right says "see?".
How did we lose the election? Shit like this. We need to be better than this. This is teaching a pig to sing.
Sensationalism is their game. Leave to play it amongst themselves.
I understand that the hill published this, but it was an opinion article. I get that some people value that, but they are almost never opinions of people that should have an opinion on the matter. Either way, I don't consider opinion articles to be something that you can nail an organization to the cross over. Just sharing a perspective is all.
Maybe it's ketamine 🎶
We all lost our innocence back then. We stared into the void, unable to look away. You remember how we all were.
Pardon me, but Friendster was for friends - Myspace was for tricking people into listening to Nickelback.
If you are arguing that the 30-40s US was unlike and unattributed for the Third Reich, then you are obviously correct, but I think you forget that the Nazis existed before Hitler. In the light of what they would become, they were more or less akin to telemarketers. And would THAT fly in the US?
It would
It did
And it always has
America was absolutely a part of the formulation of the nazis. Look up Henry Ford. His plagiarized propaganda was attributed as a source used in the formulation of the final solution. Fuck even Thomas Edison was trying to talk him down. Look at the america first party. Over 20 congressional representatives were in active communication and even received funding from Nazis. Some had received pre written speeches that they actually used.
If anyone "won" anything, it would be the Nazis, not Americans. Because here we are...
Oops, I got the weight wrong. I was way under. It was likely well over 1000 lbs.
Just a grand ol' fuckin time
Ah yes. The absolute peak of prosperity, getting an enormous waste of resources from incredibly conflicted organizations.
!jesus!< >!titty!< >!fucking!< >!christ!<
He's going to commission a 600 lb wheel of cheese and leave it on the white house lawn? Or did you mean beating an assassin with a cane? In this moment I have been completely consumed with the possible meanings of "The Andrew Jackson Route." Jesus fuck, that could be literally mean anything. But all bad, no doubt.
Lol, touche. Unless you include how to "unbreak" every single windows update, but even those resources are growing ever more seldom. Thanks for the explanation. I think I remember hearing about pop during the great steam Linux supportathon a few years back. I held off since the video card support wasn't quite ironed out of something like that and haven't checked back.
Lol, thought I was replying to a different comment, my bad 😆
Please accept my apologies 🙏
I'm not unhinged, more or less
Unfortunately the "horror" that is windows persists almost as much as the horror of Linux. Which is a bunch of fanbois crowing about their distro without any explanation at all. But why do they do this? Because that's how they got into it, and that's how the people that got them into it got into it.
Which fucking distro should I use?
- Well, really it's just preference.
Then I choose arch.
- Uh, wrong try again lol.
Fair enough, Which fucking distro should I use?
- Well, really it's whatever works for you.
Okay, I didn't like the feel of that one.
- Well, you were using the wrong desktop environment.
😐😑😤😠... ...Which fucking desktop environment should I use?** - Well, really it's just preference.
🤬. 🤬🤬, 🤬. 🤬.** - Look clearly you don't know what you're doing just use Ubuntu, or Kubuntu, or Lubuntu, or Xubuntu, or Fubuntu, or Poobuntu, or Schmubuntu. And with cinnamon obvi.
Well how do I know? The site for each one uses the exact same bloviated claims. They're all feature rich, and lightweight, and extended support, etc. Do I have to install them all to find out?
- Yes but that's impossible. So just use mine, it works.
Until it doesn't. Then you need to hit up Linux self help forums, to get help from Linux bros, who are the most detestable group of unhelpful, impatient, and pretentious neckbeards imaginable. "Did you try searching first?" "Just use our discord!" "Just use [my fucking distro!]"

The comments seem to be missing the fact that elections are state run, so if he is allowed to run a third time, it won't be him that broke the law it will be the states and their reps.
I'm not disagreeing with that, I think you're missing the point being made. The point is that we may not know that there might be more to it. That is all.
Even if so, I believe that still doesn't inherently mean it would be accessible by the public.
I 💯 agree.
And I'll dip my toe again. Top notch shilling 😆
Ugh, I'm so burned out on trying freecad, getting nowhere, nothing is straightforward or intuitive, watching hours of tutorials doing nothing you want to do with it, spending hours trying to figure it out, best attempt ever was not much more than a few basic shapes...
Fuck autodesk all day, every day, but here's fusion:
- create parameters with the giant fucking f(x) button
- create sketch with parameters by selecting literally any sketch function
- extrude from sketch and modify body and faces
- rinse and motherfucking repeat
Until freecad can claim to at the very least offer an equally simple workflow, no thanks. I'd rather use blender.
I grew up with sisters. They were tricksters and knew that I would spend hours playing with their Barbie dolls on the empty promise to come into the woods and throw rocks at things. So their Barbie dolls always ended up marrying deformed ken. It was the only way I could cope with those dreadfully dull things. Folding his face over was my go-to move. My sisters hated that. Now he's our VP. And I hate it. When I had enough I would put my thumb under kens chin and pop his head off like I was flipping a coin. Now I just flick my thumb at a screen when I see his dumb face on it. The mental imagery is euphoric enough to cope these days.
👍 Couch fucker
This is where I challenge you to find a single opinion article published by the hill from a reputable person about a worthy opinion. And when you say "that doesn't exist" I'm going to respond "no shit sherlock, that's what an opinion piece is, a disreputable person seeking your unearned attention." Good thing we gave it to them...
