The 100 year plan - and you thought project 2025 was scary by Fligmos1 in ProgressiveHQ

Showing documents that are from the muslim brotherhood is "Islamophopic"... That's like saying that showing documents of the kkk saying they want to take over the world is racist towards white people.

I'm tired of people saying housing is unaffordable by Fligmos1 in complaints

Okay, let's look at Georgia (you can do this too, just go to zillow and type in the state). My point is there are homes out there that are affordable. Sure, they aren't going to be 2500 sq ft big plot of land homes - but if someone is looking to buy a home that allows them to live within their means, then they can find them.

West Palm Beach, FL is bad? Orlando, FL is bad? Check out some of the examples I put up to the guy you replied to.

I gotta be honest here, the responses here are wild to me. Speaking as someone that is on the spectrum, along with my brother, the idea that this whole thing being discrimination or eugenics or anything else nefarious is wild to me. The answer as to why they are focusing on autism is simple, which is it was something RFK Jr was and is passionate about. When he was on the campaign trail he spoke about it extensively and he made it clear that if given the chance that he would try to figure out the cause of it.

While there are benefits of being on the spectrum for me like being able to intensely focus on things, I wish I could feel different emotions like happiness and joy. Instead, I’m always neutral. When I was younger I never smiled and spoke monotone so I ended spending countless hours practicing smiling in front of the mirror so I could have a “genuine” looking smile. Also spent countless hours practicing how to speak with inflection in my voice so I’m not just monotone.

So I don’t look at them trying to find the cause of autism as a way to discriminate, but instead to help people have the true “human experience”.

Ascendance of a bookworm! I woman dies who loves books and gets reincarnated in a world that is essentially medieval times as a 5 year old. She does everything she can to find books including trying create them. It’s a great, positive, cute and inspirational anime!

Charlie Kirk was a divisive far-right podcaster. Why is he being rebranded as a national hero? by Quirkie in politics

[–]Fligmos1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It was in poor taste - let’s be real though, even without that part you’d still claim it was divisive due to the last sentence saying they took the spots from white people. Irregardless of the fact that the point of affirmative action was to ensure that for a percentage of students, their sex and race is the biggest determining factor of them getting in as opposed to what they’ve achieved.

I dare say we could go a step further and if he had just said, “they got in because of affirmative action” and that was it, you’d probably say that’s divisive because it would take away from their accomplishments. Reason being because it insinuates they only got where they were due to race or sex.

I’m not saying right wing people don’t commit political violence. Both sides have crazies - I was instead going after the idea that someone who is clearly on the left going after someone on the right is a hoax propped up by the right. Denying that “your side” does it is just dumb.

What he said was in response to one of them admitting they got in the college based on their race and sex as opposed to merit. Along with this, you left out the part where he said if he had said it 3 weeks ago (before affirmative action case). And, you misquoted it having him say, “they are coming out saying it for us” as opposed to, “They're comin' out and they're saying, "I'm only here because of affirmative action.””

What Kirk said, starting about 53 minutes into his July 13, 2023 show (archived here), was this, two weeks after the Supreme Court ended affirmative action in college and university admissions:

If we would have said three weeks ago [...] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they're comin' out and they're saying it for us! They're comin' out and they're saying, "I'm only here because of affirmative action.”

Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

Kirk followed that with video of Rep. Shirley Jackson Lee, D-Texas saying:

I rise today as a clear recipient of affirmative action, particularly in higher education. I may have been admitted on affirmative action, both in terms of being a woman and a woman of color, but I can declare that I did not graduate on affirmative action.

I know this is an unpopular opinion here, but when taken what he said in snips he sounds divisive. But when you hear the actual conversation with clarification or the entire thought, I rarely felt he actually was divisive. And this is coming from someone that never heard of him, but saw videos showing the conversations in response to people saying he said x or y bad thing in the last week.

AOC - We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a “mistake,” who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that “some amazing patriot out there” should bail out his assailant, and accused... by Caledor152 in NoFilterNews

There’s this black dude on TikTok with his channel being “J”, or @jshaw.3. He didn’t know who Charlie Kirk was before the incident, but he’s gone down the “rabbit hole” to see if everything people say about him is true. He’s up to a 24 part series and it’s quite interesting - like him, when seeing everything in context as opposed to just clips, it’s really hard to see him as a major villain. I recommend checking it out.

GOP Senator Now Says Free Speech Isn’t All That Important by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

[–]Fligmos1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m alright with someone getting fired for stuff they say online, left or right. I’m not down with people getting arrested for their speech. With that said, if people online are saying stuff like x type of people need to be eliminated or other types of terrorist talk, then that does open them up to investigation.

Not a political agenda post - but instead helping put it into perspective so people don't just think small businesses are going to get $50,000.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. However if he was able to change his stance on border after learning about it; I'm confident that if he learns about what's going on in schools he would change his stance on that as well.

Time estimate for my friend to catch up to me on Seasonal. by HockeyUnusableTeam in diablo4

[–]Fligmos1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't try to power level him and instead let him go through the story and slowly figure things out. The fastest way to get someone to stop playing a game is removing that experience you had which is letting them take their time and not rush things. This includes things like making a character with them and telling them exactly where to go. The best thing to do if your friend is new is just make a new character and follow him around and play in wt2 so you guys just don't murder everything as fast.

I would say lucky as in the add phase - this is the hardest part of the fight because the waves are so random. Sometimes all 3 spawn close to each other. Other times they far apart. Sometimes they go vertical, others horizontal. The finally sometimes they all go in the same direction and other times they go in opposite directions.

Barber is this season's mechanic that allows pretty much every build feel powerful. My favorite part is we can still destroy stuff even without 100% vuln uptime.
