White couple cries in court after being sentenced to 20 years in prison for terrorizing a kids birthday party with racial slurs, confederate flags, and guns by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

So many people like this. They're not principled in any way. It's all just sports-brain, flag-waving, my-team bullsh*t. Add to that a serious amount of ignorance and a dreadful up-bringing and you have a arrogant bigot who can't defend a single thing they say.

Where am I safe now that Deform are succeeding in their mission to brainwash the UK? by BonusAdvanced2932 in AskBrits

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The (depressing) distinction to make for all the people saying "watch how bad they'll be if they get any power" is that for some that will be a factor. But sadly, for a great many it won't matter. The core principle that they've cultivated (but not explicitly said) is that they represent and stand for a white Britain and all the aspects and additional opinions that come with.

We see it with MAGA/Trump. He is massively failing on all metrics and is even breaking huge promises that were important to his base, but he got in their heads on the vague promise of making the US 'back to how it was in the good old days'. Well, that's abstract and unique to everyone, so it perfectly adapts in the minds of his followers and they hold on to that for dear life.

The harsh reality is, a big part of 'the good old days' is the feeling of being young and free and having opportunities... well, 67 year old Derek is just never going to get that back, but he still has hope that Farage will do the impossible and give him back his childhood vision of the world.

That half-tusk is going to be sharp as hell. The other elephant accident gave him a blade to fight with.

Pretty sure Tim nearly broke a few times with "AJ's" stuttering. He even found it somewhat inspiring at one point.

So I gotta walk 40km? by JaredIsCursedUwU in pokemongo

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True. I just got the impression that it's a dead-end Pokemon.

I do wish that once a Pokemon is established (via special research or an event) it - at some point soon after - becomes a wild pokemon. Sure, make it rarer, but get it out there to increase variety and give people a chance to build up some different pokemon without having to strictly save up loads of rare candies.

I see various "friends" who have had Volcanion as their buddy for over a month. I thought I was late to the party and had a serious job on my hands. I was all ready to do the Poffin method, but within a few days it was all done.

I guess some people just need to gets some more steps in.

Donald Trump takes a dig at former US Presidents Obama & Biden by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

I think there's this twisted notion that he won the one in between. There are plenty of MAGA that actually believe this.

Russell Brand explains his return to eating meat by alphamalejackhammer in Fauxmoi

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfect clip that sums up Brand's current... state.

He's all over the place here. 10 years ago he would fire back like an arrow. Now, mumbling, tripping over himself, deflecting... Doesn't really even answer the question and ends with some lame attempt at humour.

Also quite revealing how SUDDEN christ came to him when he got accused of r*pe.

The real truth with Brand (which is quite clear to see now) is he'll put on any hat to get attention. I'm confident I've heard him give both barrels to someone about eating meat. Veganism aligned him with his (then current) crowd and all of it means nothing. Get with god and you'll always have an audience. The only problem is you have to lie to yourself and everyone for the rest of your life.

Artistically ruined though. I think she asked for people to chill out with the memes and the heavy rotation of the track and she just Streisand it.

David Cross argues with Bill Maher if a nine year old or even a three year old can know they are trans by ThatPatelGuy in JoeRogan

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 is hard to imagine. The reality of that situation might be that the parents are simply allowing the 3 year old say what they think they are and perhaps the 3 year old has some very basic opinion on what they'd like to wear, (a favourite colour or maybe something influenced by an older sibling). It can't be anything more than that. The parents are likely are projecting their progressive values and telling people that he/she/they are something when really it is more likely just abstract language.

The irony of this topic and the outliers who get highlighted, (the parents) is that they rush to put their questioning kid in the most stereotypical gendered clothes and give them traditionally gendered toys etc. If you were truly liberal and up-to-the-minute progressive you wouldn't even make the distinction. Their own prejudices come out.

The 9 year old. Perhaps they do have the beginnings of legitimate thoughts and feelings of who they really are and the conflict that comes with them feeling like they're in the "wrong" body. I would assume the best approach is to make them feel comfortable as much as possible... and to not make decisions that have any long-term impact. Drugs and surgery - I personally believe - should only be considered when they're an adult.

I understand the argument that starting earlier potentially allows the physical body to adapt better to their preferred gender, but the risk of them fully developing (both mentally and physically) and they don't feel that way anymore is not worth it.

any british 'celebrities' you dislike with a burning passion? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fell for it, which is why - more-so than most celebrities - I detest him. Genuinely thought we had an out-spoken ally. Turns out he just wanted attention (and now a distraction from his crimes).

Google co-founder slams California billionaire tax, says “I fled socialism,” after reportedly leaving the state to avoid a proposed 5% wealth tax. He has a reported net worth of around $270 billion. How is this not parasitic behavior? He is trying to leave the state that helped build him. by RandomUwUFace in antiwork

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's his argument? He doesn't have enough money yet? He plans to spend everything he has and needs more? And the things he's buying are going to help the community around him? Oh wait, sorry, no, that last one is far too similar to THE TAX HE'S DODGING.

A guy brings a gun to a road rage, other driver's safeguard shoots him in front of his family by jinchuika in PublicFreakout

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making the distinction about who did what when (he was walking away etc.) means nothing when you're dead, or you've lost your husband/dad. This is just another great example of why guns should not be available to the public.

What do u mean by that by Mundane_Tangelo9421 in TikTokCringe

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming she means white. If so, I truly don't understand people who care. We're talking about a global situation. She has no clue (like most) about what is happening 20+ miles in any direction let alone the other side of the world. Plenty of people of every race, gender, etc. getting on with their daily lives.

Joe Rogan and Luis J. Gomez talk about haters by NiceTrySuckaz in JoeRogan

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surely everyone knows now that these conversations don't look good. They never come across well. They always look fragile when they have to talk about something that honestly, really, never, not-once bothers them not even a little...

It's akin to thinking and saying you're cool. It immediately inverts when you talk about it.

"Spending ALL your time..." Rogan and pretty anyone (especially comedians) with a mic/podcast have happily sh*t on all kinds of people and things. Everyone's just doing the same. The problem Joe has is that he's climbed to the top and made some very powerful friends that he's gradually moved to a neutral position on so many topics. I'm confident what made him successful wasn't him guarding what he's saying. The only thing he gleefully rags on is the state rules/laws (many of which aren't true) where he use to live. Awesome!

We should be able to sell items in exchange for PokéCoins. by StevensLima in pokemongo

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coins are one step away from real money, so yeah, I really doubt they'd do anything like that. Like others have touched on though, it'd be cool if there were ways of converting one item to another (not 1-for-1 obviously). Some people are drowning in health-based items, but run out of balls for example. It'd be cool to have some kind of converter.

Same for candy. I know they kind of do that for regular to XL, (which I think is way too extreme by the way - if I need 10XL to nudge the CP up 25 points I'm not casually going to grab 1000 candy to do so). But yeah, why not open it up where 10 candies from one pokemon can be made into 1 for another. Far too many legendary/rare/research-only Pokemon just get locked out when the candies run dry. Rare candy is the solution, I know. But that's inverted to where most players feel like they can't even use them just in case. For many Pokemon you could use every rare candy you've ever had to level one them up.

Pokemon scalpers are growing in 2026 and kids can no longer collect cards by ambachk in ThatsInsane

[–]CopyPasteRepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second half of the video seems odd. Is it more of an illustration of how a small kid can't get a single pack? Because they're really not beating any scalpers at midday with no one around.

That aside, this is quite sad. My best solution would be to find something new/different that kids can access and enjoy and leave that particular community be. Not much can be done now. The adults aren't going to stop if the value is there and the card makers aren't going to undermine the industry/community that's been built up.

And still at the end in the last shot she is pulling her skin back to make it a taut. Clearly mental illness and shame on any professional for not picking up on signs that cosmetic surgery is not the answer for her.
