I guess Google just says “fuck 'em”?

Yes, 100%, absokutely correct.

Google is a company.

Companies do not care about you. You are not a person, you are a number.

NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR

“yeah this time it wasn’t a gun, but the kid is black for Christ’s sake, what did you expect us to do? So obviously its functioning as intended.”

SNAKE?!

I would love to have a small Wikipedia browser that can survive the apocalypse.

E-ink display, mini keyboard and touchpad, multiple ways/ports to transfer info, All wrapped up in a heavy duty equipment case that’s able to survive a building collapses and burns in an earthquake, that’s shielded from EMP.

Former Christian here: it is a cult. Full stop. You are throwing your decisions around based on a belief that there’s some magical perfect happy place we all get to go.

Starting from that alone means we have VASTLY different goals. So many Cultists believe no matter what they do they’re still going to paradise so fuck whatever happens here.

The staunch angry denial without a hint of reflection on how religion has undeniably damaged the world is very telling about what OP is willing to accept. I recognized religion has failed the world even when I was still religious.

No, I don’t know there’s nothing after we die, but I DO know there are things HERE AND NOW that need more ACTUAL FUCKING WORK and your prayers are worth the toilet paper I’ll print them on.

And I am so fucking tired of “well they aren’t TRUE Christians because we don’t get taught that” any of the many, many, many, many, TOO FUCKING MANY TIMES when Christians, ÉN MASSE , do shitty things. No TRUE scottsman… My brother in education, you cannot keep saying your religion is peaceful when it rather spectacularly and historically is extremely violent.

But you know… It’s TOTALLY politics to not want your money going to people who want you dead, so RULE 3 GUYS RULE THREEEEEEEEEEEEE

m not American. The presence of fascists in US politics has been a commonly accepted truth in anybody anywhere left of demochristians for half a century.

I am an American and idk where this idea comes from because I’ve been noticing a decline at least since high school political science forced me to pay attention for the first time. It’s been hard not to notice the slope getting steeper every day.

Lol.

LMAO, even.

This particular downslope has been around for 20+ years, and it’s been arguably more like 50 years.

Hell, the only reason we have the small amount of gun control we do is because Regan was afraid of black people owning guns.

Fascism has been festering for a long time, most people only notice now because it’s finally affecting them.

Feel free to turn a blind eye to reality, not all of us are priveleged enough to do so.

It must be nice, living in a fantasy world where good people win because they’re good and the bad guys get to sit in jail for being bad.

I would love it if we lived in an ideal world where everyone plays by the rules.

I am not naive enough to think we live in that world.

Good example of someone who wasn’t paying attention to an issue until it affected them

“you’re just being alarmist and hyperbolic, that would never happen” -Nearly everyone around me, for the last decade or so

When you tell a funny story from your childhood but instead of laughing, your friend hugs you and says “I’m so sorry you went through that” :

Kick that motherfucker down and Yell “HEY I WASN’T DONE HERE, WHO THE FUCK SLAMMED A DOOR I MY FACE, THAT’S NOT COOL AND YA MAMMAS A HO”

Well… Neck. Close enough?

I’m learning a bit of sign language since my wife will likely be fully deaf inside 10 years, and one day we were in a food court and I saw two people arguing in ASL.

One of them started getting larger and more abrupt with their movements and the other interrupted to sign “Don’t yell at me.”

I wasn’t paying enough attention to know what they were arguing about, but it made me giggle a bit at the phrasing.

Ooh, that’s pretty neat and a simple way to keep track of things.

Why does Right Sheep have green and blue spots?

Hand anyone (who knows how to use tools) a cordless drill

Tell them “do the thing”

Without fail, you will hear a quick “bzz-bzz” as they double-tap the trigger.

It’s part of the unwritten rulebook of being human.

Sounds like my wife’s mother.

She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.

You deserved better from your parents.
