Well… that is entirely a you problem. You should do a little soul searching to figure out why it is so difficult for you to pay someone dear to someone you call a friend the bare minimum amount of respect.
Would you be upset if your friends constantly misgendered you, then acted like you were the asshole because you took issue with it?
If the people doing the coup end up writing the history books, it gets called a revolution.
Do some people here not realize that if we start allowing this kind of extra-judiciary assassinations
The fact that he’s wanted for murder and is the subject of an active manhunt seems to suggest that extrajudicial assassinations are not, in fact, allowed. In fact, I might be so bold as to suggest that the justice department generally frowns on them.
Sure thing, buddy. Here you go:
Well, unfortunately the guy used an e-bike with GPS tracking on it as his getaway vehicle, so I very much doubt he’s going to get away with it. But yes - I agree with you on the death penalty. Shit gets complicated when the state gets involved.
But those who think that they are virtuous have no problem celebrating this guy being killed calling it karma. And this comment will be totally downvoted because how dare someone point out their hypocrisy.
“Virtue” is a relative thing. What is virtuous to one person might not be virtuous to another. You, for example, seem to believe that celebrating the death of someone is unvirtuous, even if that person was a monster. This is pure speculation on my part, but I’m also guessing that you hold the belief that nobody deserves to die.
These beliefs are not universal. While you would be a hypocrite for violating your own strongly held beliefs, it would not be accurate to apply that label to someone who doesn’t hold those beliefs. For example, I believe that death is the worst punishment you can give to a person. I also believe that some people absolutely deserve it. I would not find it virtuous to falsely pretend otherwise. I have no moral qualms with celebrating the death of someone who I think deserves it. Similarly, I have no qualms about celebrating good things that happen to a person who I think deserves them. In both cases, I consider those things to be the universe working out as it should.
You’ve never wished for the death of serial killers? Rapists? Pedophiles? Dictators? Animal abusers? The odd mime?
Somehow, I don’t believe you. But, on the off chance that you’re telling the truth… this is for you:
I was doing some construction work this past weekend, and encountered some wiring that I did about 20 years ago. I spent the first 5 minutes complaining about the crazy asshole who wired it up, knowing full well that it was me. I am in this picture and I do not like it.
Let’s be real, here. You automatically dismiss all opinions not fed to you by an autocrat.
Hard disagree on this. This has Trump’s stench all over it. Every person being tapped for these positions is a Trump sycophant, and none of them are even remotely qualified to do the job he’s trying to assign them.
I agree that Trump is not good at planning, well, anything. But none of this feels like a plan. It’s all: “I like PersonX. I will hire them.” If it feels like a very stupid, short-sighted, and childish thing, it’s because Trump is a stupid, short-sighted child.
There is no plan for what happens if Gaetz doesn’t get confirmed, just like there was no plan informing his selection of Gaetz. If Gaetz doesn’t get confirmed, Trump will make a few all-caps posts on Truth Social, and then nominate another sycophant. He’s got so many to choose from these days.
Oh, don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll fall in line in a couple of days and act like Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
This is very clearly an example of bad AI, but maybe it was trying (and failing) to convey this?
Basically, 1/3 + 1/9 + 1/27 + 1/81 + … + 1/3^n = 1/2.
Probably not. But maybe.
God damn, people make me hate people.
God, I hate how accurate this is.
Nope. The Green party’s got their candidate on the most states’ ballots, and they only managed to get 38 states. Granted, it’s still mathematically possible, considering the threshold is 270 votes, and the states that have Stein on the ballot comprise 440 votes… but still. Would be incredibly, almost impossibly difficult.
Calling him a comedian is being overly generous.
Are you unfamiliar with the concept of humor?
I mean, it’d probably only take like 4 or 5 CEOs getting shot before we get some good, common-sense gun control legislation passed. We’ve got to protect our people*, you know?
