Comments like this are just sad.

We learned nothing from Reconstruction.

Even after reading the post I still wasn't sure how Adobe was taking on Adobe.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the only thing the constitution says about it is "there shall be a supreme court."

Regardless, the constitution was created to be amended, and it's the states that vote on those. You know. That whole democracy thing.

White chocolate is not very good, but dark chocolate is fucking disgusting. I do have to think that people are just pretending to like it. I mean, alcohol is disgusting too but at least there's a point to drinking it.

So republicans are somehow against a program that provides HIV/AIDS medication to people in poor countries because it checks notes promotes abortion??

Republicans will say anything and do anything to make sure they hurt as many vulnerable people as possible.

It's just that this requires a set of skills most don't possess

Thank you. I hate these comments implying that this is one hundred percent impossible or even that you need to be a rich person to accomplish it. I did it for a short time. But I went to town to get water and food, it's not like you need to have every single thing be completely self sustaining (you can, but it's not like it "doesn't count" if you go get something). It was uncomfortable and hard, but that also contributed to what made it so rewarding. It was one of the best times in my life.

It is stupid to try to live in the wild without knowing what you're doing though. The area I was in had good weather, close to a town etc. It wasn't at the top of a mountain or anything.

I don't think questioning racializing something as arbitrary as living off grid amounts to the same thing as "just stop talking about race." That's either really misunderstood or just a bad faith argument.

Also two-spirit people in Indigenous cultures

The worst was the people who insisted it wasn't funny enough. I thought it was pretty funny, but was that really the point?

He's also had plenty of opportunity to retire. In any other field someone his age would have retired long ago. But it's been his choice to run again in every election and keep his iron death grip on the country, knowingly doing as much harm as he personally can to the political process and to the American people. (And yes, fuck the people who keep voting for him, but I also don't think it's quite that simple.)

So yeah, it sucks to wish harm on people in general. But there's a million caveats to that when it's a truly evil person, and when he's had every chance to retire. I mean, isn't that conservatives' whole thing, "personal responsibility"? It's been his choice to keep doing what he's doing until he becomes physically or mentally incapable. After watching Feinstein continue to make decisions that affect the US when she doesn't even know her own name, of course people can't wait to see McConnell gtfo, no matter how it happens.

That's how I feel about SoCal. I noticed on Google Maps a lot of homes are taking up the sea cliffs south of LA. I always thought that all coastline in CA was public...

Are you saying like the DNC actually gives money to colleges? Or maybe people you just don't like make private donations, which has nothing to do with what's taught

Nobody is calling to exterminate anybody, because the other problem with that statement is that transgender people is not a real ontological category — it’s not a legitimate category of being,” Knowles continued. “There are people who think that they are the wrong sex, but they are mistaken. They’re laboring under a delusion. And so we need to correct that delusion.”

It looks like it was some doucher from the Daily Wire during a speech at CPAC, but it was in response to Aldean's comment of literally "eradicating transgenderism."

Idk, close enough. If it walks like a nazi and talks like a nazi, then it's probably a nazi.

The girl involved now has an Only Fans page, so even if she offered, the prosecution felt that would hurt her credibility

It's so fucked up that our culture still thinks like this

It's more the hypocrisy of some people. The ones who cheer for a huge defense/foreign aid budget year after year no matter who it's for, and then leave bitchy comments on FB about student loan forgiveness being "unfair" because it uses their tax dollars.

Banning abortion makes the parent and infant suffer completely unnecessarily, and often die completely unnecessarily.

Is it really "name calling" if it's true?

If he could prove he was graduating in a matter of weeks then that's fucking ridiculous. I was accepted to grad schools before I even passed my final undergrad classes. It's just on a conditional basis, but nothing changed when I actually got the degree. Besides, there's time between the last classes ending and commencement, then months between commencement and getting the actual degree in the mail and your transcripts being updated.

I'm hope he feels like he dodged a bullet.

It's weird how I've seen several of these kinds of comments on lemmy recently. They're responding to a post that's pointing out an obvious social/political/economic problem by reducing it to the poster having some kind of personal mental health issue or accusng them of being stupid because they don't know enough about the issue to have a degree in it.

I don't think I've ever seen them anywhere else. Maybe they just always got buried on reddit, idk. But it's an interesting redirection that's a) super unproductive, and b) trying really hard to take focus off a very real social issue. "Your late stage capitalist country quickly descending into fascism? Have you considered Wellbutrin?"
