I setup my new account on a new instance a bit ago but want to stick it out to the end on this one!

I think the difference is that sealioning is a pattern of behavior, rather than just occasionally asking for a source. It describes the lack of intent to engage in good faith discussion and instead just is a method of trolling.

I think you're confusing social media and late stage capitalism. Social media hasn't done anything to anyone, capitalism has used social media to further its own ends.

Original 'Blade' fans are also 'baffled' by delay in Marvel's movie reboot.

One other thing I haven't seen mentioned is selling ice cream is only a sustainable business for a few months out of the year in many places. Whereas you can sell burgers/dogs/etc year-round. But yeah, as far as I know they've always sold fast food - their burgers were a fave of mine when I was a kid in the 70s.

What a fucking waste of resources

I think a lot of it is that he spends much more strategically and with lots of strings attached. He also does a lot of work to basically indoctrinate folks who aren't big players and fund them until they are - JD Vance being a prime example. He's basically developed into a cult leader for rich wannabes and ends up owning their asses.

Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the "N" word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said "oh, that was so long ago!". I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you're complaining about how I'm trying to castrate the guy.

If you don't like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don't idolize an asshole? But don't come into public spaces and try and sell it as "Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn't weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he's changed now."

Yeah, because there hasn't been anything since then, right?

Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there's another apology video? There have been so many, after all.

The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.

"Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth."

Yeah, if you don't see "nazi" after that, that's on you I think.

More so for being/cosplaying (same thing) as a fucking nazi https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/2/17/14613234/pewdiepie-nazi-satire-alt-right

He won about 3 out of every 5 states - most of which have low populations. By percentage, he didn't surpass 50% nationwide and only won by 1.5%.

Yeah, this post is misleading as he just gave the commencement address this year - yesterday in fact. Already received quite a bit of coverage and some outlets have not only articles but the full transcript: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-commencement-speech-full-transcript-2067064

Anyone not knowing that might see this and be confused as the date isn't noted in the post.

Because he doesn't actually believe any of this, it's all performative. It's all about creating a certain narrative that they can then exploit to keep the grift going.

Great photo on the article. Is Trump aging super fast now? He looks significantly older than he did even back in January.

Black gospel music has often been the only Christian-oriented music that really did it for me. A lot of blues, soul, etc was created by folks who got their start in black gospel music, and used what they learned there in secular genres. Hugely influential in so many different types of music.

Unlike Jefferson, I don't believe there were any contemporaneous accounts of it, and there's never been any DNA evidence to confirm it. I mean Jackson was undoubtedly an asshole and believed in the institution of slavery (and I believe treated enslaved people inhumanely), but as far as I understood it, not for this in particular.

I believe you're thinking Jefferson though Jackson did own enslaved people
