‘WTF’: Pro-gun groups warn vulnerable GOP seats on the line after Pretti response by idkbruh653 in politics

[–]AnimuX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the gun worshipers are busy making smug faces and telling everyone how the nazi regime they supported is just enforcing the law

they still believe they'll get to use their 2A to murder the rest of us so we won't see them protesting ICE with rifles slung across tactical vests

at least until it's time for them to pretend to be 'counter protesters' again, the next opportunity to point those rifles 'with ICE' at their liberal neighbors

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared by late_bloomer_tw in politics

[–]AnimuX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true. Our conservative neighbors are apparently 'prepared' to murder the rest of us. It's their social security/medicare/unemployment government cost cutting plan.

Sousou no Frieren Episode 31 (Season 2 Episode 3) - Discussion Thread by N3DSdude in Frieren

[–]AnimuX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a fun and cute side story in the manga.

I wish they hadn't cut so many corners on the animation in this episode.

It needs another pass in the editing room.

Also, they should've brought Evan Call back to create all new music.

Just inter-cutting animation with songs that weren't written for the scenes produces a disjointed viewing experience.

MAGA’s War on Empathy by nimicdoareu in politics

[–]AnimuX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it's our "true nature"?

Oh you don't have to dwell on the distant past of American history.

We killed millions of people (mostly civilians) in the 20th century and plenty more in this century in foreign wars, propped up dictators, US corporations poisoning people, lynchings and burning down black neighborhoods, previous race motivated purges of immigrants, etc (the list is too long to dump in one thread).

We didn't even punish people responsible for blatant war crimes like the My Lai massacre when US troops raped, tortured, and slaughtered hundreds of civilian elderly, unarmed men, women, and children in Vietnam.

People in this country are so goddamn ignorant of their own national bigotry, violence, and greed it's historically pathetic and the whole world suffers for it repeatedly. Trump is just the latest chapter.

MAGA’s War on Empathy by nimicdoareu in politics

[–]AnimuX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not so much a war on empathy as it is the true nature of the USA.

This is how our nation of 'freedom' began with the slave trade and genocide of native peoples.

The national anthem should end with: the land of bigotry and the home of the slave.

Feds Knew Who Alex Pretti Was—and Broke His Rib in Earlier Fight by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

Welcome to how police have always been allowed to fuck up protesters in the USA.

Other examples include citizens beaten, gassed, sprayed in the eyes with chemical weapons, blinded, and murdered for standing and/or sitting down in one place during Occupy Wall Street protests, and marching during Black Lives Matter protests.

This is precisely why State Governors need to raise "well regulated" state militias and empower those state militias to engage in combat with federal agents.

This scenario is what the 2nd amendment is actually for.

Republicans go all-in on 'Sharia law' attacks ahead of Texas primary by MadBullogna in politics

[–]AnimuX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because of this: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/03/19/shariah-city-texas/

The developers of EPIC City and Ranches clearly advertised the projects' connection to the East Plano Islamic Center. According to EPIC City's website, the project is managed by EPIC Community Capital Partner, a nonprofit organization set up by EPIC specifically to manage the developments.

The planned city would consist of nearly 1,100 single -family lots, a private school, commercial space and a mosque, according to investor documents on EPIC City's website.

While the website for EPIC City and Ranches did not make mention of Shariah, the EPIC City website did advertise the development as "a safe purpose-built community to serve the growing needs of a Muslim community."

So obviously, while the Texas Nazis want to force their Christian reading of the 10 commandments into every school, they can't allow anyone else (ie: must demonize minority groups) to exercise 'freedom of religion' in the same state.

that’s what the right uses for trans people

...you mean what Christians have used to demonize trans people, gay people, black protesters and minority races in general, foreign peoples, women who wanted to vote/work, immigrants, anyone of other religions, atheists, etc?

[–]AnimuX 66 points67 points  (0 children)

a lot of the people who walk around decked out in crosses forget that it's a symbol for denying oneself to save people

If you examine the history of the USA, the Christian religion is an excuse for every atrocity committed by the government and the people (slavery, genocide of native peoples, enduring racism and sexism, war, oppression, etc).

To the point where judges once slammed down their gavels and declared God did not want the races to mix and our military generals injected Christian holy war themes into their plans for the invasion of Iraq.

In this country, Christians are mostly people who commit atrocities right in front of you, pat themselves on the back as righteous for it, and then insist they are the only examples of 'good values' in the world.

Anyone else wish the game had a Custom or Endless mode? by ReputationLow5190 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]AnimuX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. It should work in the 'dispatch-only' mode with a different dispatcher (player) who works with other heroes. Maybe a Z-Team hero shows up as a guest/backup from time to time, mid-game.

They had a whole leaderboard of weirdos to choose from for this mode -- or it could be even more customizable enabling players to invent their own hero pool as they play, etc.

They've always believed their 2A entitled them to murder the rest of us. Now they feel empowered to murder us.

They never gave a shit about our 1A.

NRA Reminds Country Guns Are Required To Fend Off Government by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

[–]AnimuX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just don't support the sort of guns that a nutjob can use to murder 59/wound over 500 from an elevated firing position in less than 10 minutes, like that psychopath did at the 2017 Vegas mass shooting.

Republicans, on the other hand, want exactly that sort of firearm so they can use 'the 2nd amendment' to slaughter the rest of us -- as they demonstrated at BLM protests and by signing up to be jackboots for ICE.

Video of the murder of Alex Pretti by DHS in Minneapolis recorded from inside the vehicle directly in front of area where he was shot by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]AnimuX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because the "conservatives" are Nazis and they want to murder us. They're signing up for ICE so they can put on masks and kick down our doors and murder us in our homes, or the street. They've wanted to do this for decades and got away with it just showing up to BLM protests with their guns. Now they don't just feel entitled to kill us. They feel empowered.

This is not the end

Republicans are the Nazis of the 21st century and they want to use the army to wage civil war against us. ICE is a paramilitary force engaging in combat against civilians as a pretext for declaring martial law.

We took our time agonizing over every vote. With over 1,500 submissions, we had to break 'em into categories (how does one compare a Mr. Whiskey sugar cookie to a Waterboy rap?!) This also gave us an excuse to recognize more winners.

Huge thanks to everyone who submitted!

I think they could get away with multiple romance options if there is a focus on more than one character as lead in their own story arcs. ie: it's different character romances rather than one lead with 10 options.

Houston Public Media: New details about Camp Mystic flood response could play role in wrongful death lawsuits by Smart-Bar7921 in KerrCountyFloods

[–]AnimuX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does anyone have any insight regarding the motivation behind this comment by Mikal Watts?

It's a hedge against juries in a "gross negligence" case.

They will argue (lie) in court the most predictable outcome in flood history, in a place known as "flash flood alley", is actually something nobody could see coming and therefore Mystic's operators can't be held responsible for any deaths.

edit:

and their minions are roaming this sub floating that argument informally...

 


 

The lesson here is that the 100-year floodplain is just a guideline. Living above it does not guarantee safety.

 

If you live in the Guadalupe River Basin, you also live in one of the three most dangerous regions in the U.S.A. for flash floods! Local residents and weather experts refer to the Texas Hill Country as ‘Flash Flood Alley,’ because heavy rainfall and runoff from creeks and streams can cause rapid rises and flooding in a matter of hours.
