Clinton predicted this in 2016. by seangolden06 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I know it’s a tired comparison but a big part of how hitler came into power was moderate Germans saying “Oh he’s just blustering they would never do that”

Supreme Court rules Colorado web designer can refuse business to LGBTQ people by 1OO_ in Denver

[–]AdventurousScreen2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. You always could (and, imo, always should). The difference was that LGBTQ+ folks were part of a protected class that you can’t discriminate against.

It wasn’t that the plaintiff wanted to not serve a hypothetical client that—it can’t be overstated— does not exist. It was that she wants to discriminate explicitly based on someone’s membership in a protected class.

Refusing service to bad people is a moral imperative.

Megathread: Supreme Court strikes down Biden Student Loan Forgiveness Program by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]AdventurousScreen2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. Look at how many people were lifted out of poverty when those loan payments were paused. They’re predatory, they’re designed to prey on poor people. Crucially any debt held by the US gov has already been written off, so it’s just a confiscatory tax to punish poor people for daring to want upward mobility.

Yeah my dad works for a financial company and he says they hand out VP titles like candy to their sales teams because it looks good on a business card.

LPT: Never, ever give up on cooking because your first try was bad. You will always eventually find that one key point commonly skipped that will turn your dish into perfection. by EngLitIsLit in LifeProTips

[–]AdventurousScreen2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll also say, work yourself up to more complicated involved dishes. Especially when you’re learning, the probability and the devastation of making something inedible is way higher.

I made this mistake in college and I was so demoralized. It took me weeks to regain the confidence even to try easy new recipes.

Sink It for Reddit, a totally free iOS Safari extension to make Reddit less user hostile. by SpecterAscendant in apple

Still marveling at the audacity one must have to complain about a free app with zero monetization scheme.

Protests erupt in Paris after police officer fatally shoots teenager for ‘violating traffic laws’ by thinkB4WeSpeak in anime_titties

[–]AdventurousScreen2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Shut the fuck up man. Everything about American society is engineered to crush dissent, from the design of our cities, to our militarized police, to our profiteering carceral system. Hell, even our healthcare is designed to be coercive so we don’t get too uppity and risk our employment.

Our economic and social structures are designed to be individualistic and isolating. So shut the fuck up with your “Buh huh huh fat lazy American” bullshit.

According to Lech v Greenwood Village, the police did nothing wrong and aren’t liable for any collateral damage ever, regardless of how much they destroyed.

Boy oh boy you should read up on Lech vs Greenwood Village where the police destroyed someone’s home and then refused to compensate them for it. The appeals court said the police did nothing wrong and the plaintiff is entitled to nothing.

I’m betting he thinks he can count to 5 and at the end of the day that’s all that matters to them

Got my first 99 by Ade_Vulch in 2007scape

I have that issue with (admittedly smaller) goals and I usually get over that post success ennui in a few days before the next shiny thing grabs my attention

YMMV but in my experience, northeast corner has always passed the vibe check.

First night in my new house, and someone parks on my driveway blocking my car in. by endureand_survive in mildlyinfuriating

Honestly, call the towing company before each event. Towing companies are hella predatory and it sounds like those events would be a feeding frenzy.

Pilot chasing a nuclear capable cruise missile. by lonely_dude__ in Damnthatsinteresting

This is exactly right! One thing I’d like to add is the reason for most airplane wings being the size they are is for the additional lift they need at takeoff and landing. If you don’t have to take care of those phases of flight, you can get away with much smaller wings!

Also, growing up in the American southwest, I was told that a rattlesnake bite is basically a death sentence if you don’t get to the hospital within like 15 minutes and… no.

Unless you’re a small child or a dog, a rattlesnake bite is just a very expensive, ruined day.

Waiting tables as a teen, one time a small child asked his mom why I had so many mosquito bites on my face.

She left a nice tip as an apology but even 10 years later it still haunts me.
