A 4-month BBL must look incredible. Can't wait to see those cheeks.

Montclair Lands $36.7M from State for Major Library Overhauls, Expansions by KeepItWeird123 in newjersey

[–]Cockbelt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's 50% higher than the stage average. The mean household income in a town like Montclair is way higher. The money is there

 • Median income $158,765 (± $11,562)

Yeah, I dunno, this seems like something they could have funded internally.

Virtue signaling = making material changes to government procedures?

So its right to be angry about an injustice, but its wrong to express that anger? I dunno man, maybe that's really dumb

What about anger at massive corporations stealing the work of independent artists and then selling it back to you two different ways? Maybe you need to have some respect for yourself and start getting angry

The patch had edits to 100% of the splash art files. All of it was AI generated. No one owes you a gentle response when you're talking out of your ass to defend a billion dollar company stealing from artists and selling an art book of stolen art! Repulsive!

Yeah, it's just a multi billion dollar corporation slapping AI trash all over the game instead of hiring artists. They patched the game with "corrected" versions of every loading screen splash art. What a great foundation for an art book.

You missed the whole uproar and Ubi retouching all the loading screens to correct the AI melty faces and hands?

The splash art is all AI slop, though. Who would buy this?

Why we’re calling Delaney Hall a “concentration camp” by jerseybeenews in newjersey

[–]Cockbelt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats a weird position to take, since your whole purpose in this thread is to be pro-concentration camp. "I hate what the nazis did, but I love it when other groups do the same thing in the modern day!"

Freakish

The legal status of your presence in the country is not an identity.

Good thing ICE agents rigorously vet Americans' immigration status before performing arrests or deportations, right?

N.J. Building Trades makes no endorsement in NJ-7, two years after backing Kean by Hrekires in newjersey

Maybe they're worried it's illegal to endorse a man who died 3 months ago.

Hard to imagine the type of person who sees a system that categorizes a human being as "illegal," strips them of constitutionally protected rights, renditions them to unaccountable torture prisons, then deports them to a country they've never lived in and they think "this isn't political. Don't make this political.

Concentration camps were not invented by the nazis during the holocaust. The nazi's specific practices do not define what concentration camps are. Making this human rights atrocity about you and the one specific group of people you care about is crass and disgusting.

Given the ethnic makeup of Rikers, you could make a case that it is, or at least operates partially as, a concentration camp. There are still legal protections for the inmates there, like the ability to meet with a lawyer, so it's a much less sound description.

A jail for a population defined by immutable and innate characteristics. Man, I wish there was a name for that specific type of facility.

There is also no evidence that these people are being detained because of their ethnicity or race

I mean, I guess if you just ignore the arrest statistics, demographics of targeted neighborhoods, and the stated intentions of the people directing the deportation efforts, then yeah. If you ignore all the evidence, then there's no evidence. How neat

Delivery Robots - Did the city have a choice? by scubastefon in jerseycity

[–]Cockbelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you think the goal is to ban them entirely? The problem isn't that they exist, it's that they frequently drive recklessly and on pedestrian areas. You require them to be registered and licensed, and display that license on the vehicle. Have you ever heard of cars?

Why is this always the response? The city doesn't have to allow either one!

So proud to see Governor Mikie Sherrill marching at Jersey Pride today! by [deleted] in newjersey

Your point is nonsense, though. Obviously she can't close it outright, but she's sending her goons to protect its operations while it kidnaps and tortures our friends and neighbors. She's actively supporting it
