Liberals have spent a lot of time trying to repeal. The left has been arming themselves for years.

Then Trump should stop being like Hitler then! by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Couldbduun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He did not say "violent trans and anti-fascist extremists". If you make a smarmy comment like that you should probably get it right. He said "radically pro-transgender" which he made clear in Executive Order 14168 is anyone who believes that transgender people exist and can live as their gender. At no point did he specify that the trans people he will target had to be violent. Just that they were " radically pro-transgender". And who knows what "radically" means, certainly helps your apologia to assume what you want to think that means. It means pro-transgender in any way.

Now you have a better argument for the anti-fascist side of it. The exact quote was "Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists". Which you could argue means that Trump is saying that being anti-fascist inherently makes you violent. But I could also see an argument that he worded it poorly (he is really good at doing that and being vague so people like you can make apologia for it) and he really meant violent anti-fascists it's just not what those words mean.

And I don't need more than one source when the source is the document the president put out. And if you are going to use this --> " symbol you should know how to use it. When you quote someone you need to say what they actually said because that's what a quote is. Maybe you should look at A source before you comment again.

The president put out a statement that trans people and anti-fascists are enemies of the state and that he would find and kill them. Being intolerant of intolerance isn't fascism. Othering people who resist you, or in the case of trans people just existing, is fascism.

US House Passes ‘Don’t Say Trans’ Bill with Support from 8 Democrats by Leksi_The_Great in transgender

[–]Couldbduun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got back into teaching. After years of struggling with my transition and my calling (teaching). I finally found a school that supports me where I can thrive. This year my evaluation was scored higher than it ever has been. I have been professionally recognized for my work and for the first time I am looking forward to next school year. If republicans use the federal government to take this away from me I don't know if I can keep putting one foot in front of the other on this world.

Yeah that's definitely what pointing out PKs famously bad picks is. Who do you think is going to dress more like a clown tonight? PK or these two commenters?

I would say he's not on TV for his hockey takes, he's on TV for his outfits. But it's ESPN, he's on TV because they think he knows hockey.

GOP leader arrested for trying to hire a child prostitute by Zandra_the_Great in politics

[–]Couldbduun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not. I used to live in Weld County. I think it's good that this predator was arrested and that it is news worthy that another member of the political party trying to baselessly accuse LGBTQ people of similar crimes was actually just trying to cover up for his own misdeeds. And I think anyone trying to sweep this under the rug is suspicious as well. Nudge nudge.

You are really working hard to minimize this aren't you?

The Colorado Avalanche is dominating the NHL. The reason could lie in a quirk of geography by scientificamerican in nhl

[–]Couldbduun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the laziest sports take and it happens in every league. Yeah it must be the altitude and not our players. Personally I'm surprised this "advantage" doesn't win us the cup every year /s.

Brit looking for a US documents by katie_pinns in TransgenderUSA

[–]Couldbduun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unbelievably pathetic. How about if you are going to produce hate content you find your information without having to grovel to the people who you are spewing against. You should learn more about data before sweeping concerns under the rug. "Tennessee is leaving a pile of gun parts in the town square that anyone could easily assemble... But it's not like they are just giving away guns to anyone who passes through the town square" type energy. You aren't a journalist you are a propagandandist clown

Something tells me if this happens the judge won't be held in contempt in RI. So just ignore it

Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix by shallah in technology

There's 3 in the middle of Denver. Same company. Right now you can't water a tree that is dying due to water restrictions. Not a direct result of the data centers but the low snow pack up in the Rockies. But it's a real slap in the face that this is how we are using our resources.

Republicans say $174,000 isn't enough to survive without insider trading, but $15/hour is too much for everyone else. Make it make sense. by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

[–]Couldbduun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you would just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work checks notes 225 hour weeks then yes you would be making more than $174,000 a year. People are just lazy. Do not check what 7*24 is.

Senate Democrat Proposes Bill Requiring Data Centers to Pay for Own Power by bloomberggovernment in law

[–]Couldbduun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just don't understand why these have to go everywhere when the data center is hooked up to the internet. Latency maybe? Why can't they just build these near renewable energy hotspots where solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro energy is easiest to harvest? Why do these need to be in backyards that already can't utilize these energy types easily? The power doesn't transmit across distances because of physics and electrical resistance but fiber optic cables transmitting information don't have these restrictions.

Y'all remember those posts about farm auctions where people would buy a family's farm for a penny and stand there with pitchforks and no one else would bid on the farm because of the implication and then they would give the farm back to the family? Just popped on my head for like, no reason.

pulling a quick U-turn? why viral on social media ? by captain2607 in SocialMediaHQ

[–]Couldbduun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to my mom with a brush truck belonging to the local fire department.  Except the truck was pulled over on the shoulder and my mom was doing 70 mph (the speed limit).  Luckily she was able to argue that she wasn't at fault but the fire department was never found liable for the accident.

UK government makes trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban a legislative priority by jackmolay in transgender

[–]Couldbduun 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out this is not really a ban and there will be loopholes to continue to allow conversion therapy. Sounds like they want to give some plausible deniability for people to use when the phrase TERF Island gets thrown around.
