Who said it was a bad thing and why would you assume it was? And it’s not incorrect: you can prove it in the liberal stance on social issues. All of those stances require empathy. The same is not true of conservative stances which are based around ideology to the point that it allows human suffering.
I remember being a youth and going to rotten.com in my dorm room with a group of friends for the purpose of being shocked and disturbed. Shock content has its place. It’s not something people want to see everyday, but as it’s own dark corner of the web.
That said, Lemmy/kbin need to have an /all with NSFL content filtered out. I don’t want to see that stuff in my daily scrolling.
It’s all the anti-woke rhetoric the right wing places have been spouting lately. He is just a symptom of a larger national problem. More people like him will be cropping up that take those words to heart. We need an end to the culture war nonsense.
Holy shit. That was the most cruel, barbaric, vile, disgusting crap I have seen in a long time. I am in tears. How could they do this and continue in good conscience? Why aren’t they experiencing legal repercussions?
We need to remove faith based organizations from as much of the public services as possible. As far as I am concerned, a faith based solution is the same as not having a solution at all of this is how they plan to run things.
The point is she would not have had this success as a black LGBTQ country artist in the last few decades. She found success in the past as a rock artist (who we all knew was folk) but notably not on the country charts:
Original Fast Car charts:
US Billboard Hot 100 6
US Adult Contemporary (Billboard) 7
US Mainstream Rock (Billboard) 19
US Cash Box Top 100[29] 4
Good luck. Black people in America have been trying to get the USA to pay reparations for generations of enslavement, terrorism, and genocide. We deserve reparations too along with American native peoples. We will never get it though, so I am pretty sure 3rd party nations will never get it either. The only reparations America has paid so far has been to slave owners and Japanese Americans.
He seems very angry and I understand why. I agree with him actually. My guess is that he believes the strong language threatening homelessness to people deserves strong language demanding class action back.
I have bipolar disorder and 2 dogs and a human family too.
Here are the problems I see: people with severe mental health disorders can be pretty poor pet owners. Severe depression can mean laying in bed but dogs need to get outside to pee and poop and exercise. If the owner isn’t focused enough or doesn’t have help, the animal can end up neglected and the environment can end up dirty.
In the case of bipolar disorder, it doesn’t matter what the animal does or doesn’t do. The disorder is like an internal injury: it doesn’t go away or lessen based on external stimuli. When the episodes happen they just happen. We can fight it and get therapy and stuff but the injury is still there. I could be as rich as Elon Musk and my manic and depressive episodes will still happen.
That said, I love my pets and even though I have a whole family, I am the one that takes them out, gives them medicine, buys their food (but my kid feeds them most days), and they depend on me more than anyone else.
Shouldn’t have apologized.
