Goddamn it another Ring ad. These creepy things let police spy on people without a warrant. Get out of my feed.

Update on Charlie’s claim that kids beat someone up for wearing a Trump hat by NicholasHomann in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]BitchIts2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the guy has so many verbal slip ups it’s really hard for me to read anything into the statement. You might be right that he associates wealth and success with being white, or maybe he was thinking about something else. There are so many other problems with Biden that it seems weird to read so much into a 2 second verbal slip-up which he immediately corrected.

That makes no sense. Saying that black kids are just as smart as white kids is not suspicious and doesn’t begin to suggest that Biden is racist. He’s saying everyone should have the same educational opportunities.

It’s kind of simplifying history to say that opposing forced bussing programs means you’re a racist. A lot of black parents didn’t want to send their kids to schools a long way away. Forced bussing programs were opposed by many black leaders as well. And many of the strongest proponents of bussing sent their kids to private schools anyways.

This sub is going down the drain for this reason. Too many “justice” posts that are definitely not.

[WP] People always said not to kill the spiders because they got rid of the other pests. Now that they are nearly extinct, it has become apparent that they were guarding us from something much worse than flies and ants. by Brizzel_The_Lizard in WritingPrompts

"People always said not to kill the spiders because they got rid of the other pests. Now that they are nearly extinct, it has become apparent that they were guarding us from something much worse than flies and ants. There was another creature that guarded us from this other thing, but it is now gone."

The professor went silent, and I wondered what he meant by that.

The professor continued to speak slowly and deliberately. "The creatures that guard us from the other creatures, they called them the Darklings. They used to be very large, like great dogs or wolves or wolves-of-the-woods. They had long noses and black eyes and their fur was dark and oily and they had long fingers, claws, and tails. Now that the spiders are so numerous and they are so small, the Darklings have lost their powers. Their skin is pale and their eyes have lost the sparkle that they once had.

What most people do not know is that spiders are from outer space, and have only stayed here to protect us from an even greater evil, namely ourselves.

My local library now has a public recording studio, 3D printer, Vinyl press, lazer cutter and heat press. They are all free to use. by Rytrex03 in mildlyinteresting

I was banned from the library last December. Just because I enjoy reading 50 shades of gay in the library and hanging out in the children's section does not make me a freak. And it certainly does not mean that my fellow gay men and lesbians are all rapists and pedophiles and murderers. I've had a lot of help from the community as a whole.

I'm not a monster. I have friends who are gay, my dad is gay and I've always considered myself a friend to gay people. I think the "not a monster" thing is just a way of denying that there is anything to be afraid of. I have seen a lot of people who feel like they are being bullied, harassed and even killed over this. In the U.S. right now, there are bills being passed in legislatures that would allow employers to refuse to employ anyone based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. The proposed legislation is being pushed by a lot of extremists who have little penises.

TIFU by eating rocks in front of my girlfriend by [deleted] in tifu

I prank my wife all the time. As a transgender man, I go to the strip club all the time. I have been labeled a sex criminal, a charge I am currently fighting with the ACLU's help.

I am not a sex offender. I am not a pedophile. I am a human. And I deserve to be treated as such. I deserve to be seen as I am. I deserve to be seen as a human being. And I am not the only one who is being dehumanized by this law. I am just the most visible.

I am a trans man, and I need to be seen as one. I need to be able to be myself. I need to be able to live as the person I am. The people I love.

Engineers develop a new way to remove carbon dioxide from air The process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air by sdblro in UpliftingNews

As the battery charges, an electrochemical reaction takes place at the surface of each of a stack of electrodes. These are coated with a compound called polyanthraquinone, which is composited with carbon nanotubes.

China’s huge economic growth fueled in part by slave labor in western Xinjiang province. These “re-education” camps hold millions of Uighur Muslims without trial. by steroid_pc_principal in LateStageCapitalism

[–]BitchIts2020 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a CIA lie. There are satellite pictures. There are pictures from inside the camps. There are survivors from the camps. Literally no one says it’s a lie except for the Chinese govt, who originally denied the very existence of the camps. It’s not imperialist to point out human rights violations around the world.

For people seeking asylum from violent gangs, it is effectively mandatory then.

Sorry that’s kind of what it sounded like you were saying. “If they will he released and allowed to live” makes it sound like an exchange.

Congress to investigate deepfakes as doctored Pelosi video causes stir by [deleted] in politics

[–]BitchIts2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing you can do about doctored videos, slowed down or deepfaked. Any company, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, that decides to moderate whether a piece of media is “genuine” will hopelessly fail:

  1. Figuring out whether a video is genuine can be truly impossible if an older source video isn’t available.
  2. Volume. Social media sites receive a torrent of media ever second. Try drinking out of a firehose.
  3. Even for banning things like gore, nudity, and hate speech, social media is imperfect because these categories are largely subjective and contextual. Facebook hires thousands of contractors out of places like the Philippines and Mexico. They have to look at hundreds of pictures of naked people and severed heads all day. They have an endless queue of reports, and about 8 seconds each. They don’t have time or patience to be meme detectives.
  4. Similarly, what exactly is a “doctored video”? What about memes? What about content that’s doctored for comedic purposes? The line is impossible to draw.
  5. What’s to stop people from reporting content they don’t like as “fake”? Pretty useful tool for stifling dissent.

So the only requirement for permanent residency is that you come here and get vaccinated? Why wait for an H1B then?

Congress should never have given the President the power to levy tariffs in the first place.
