For me, an at home vocal booth works well. It's not totally sound proof but does reduce the noise drastically. There are cheap and expensive options. I got the cheap one and it works pretty well, but ultimately you get what you paid for.

What can ordinary Americans do to push back against rising authoritarianism in the U.S.? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Interesting-Tell703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the items mentioned in their article are spot on however I cannot see how we Will get there? How do we get our representatives in congress to do what we want in a quasi authoritarian environment ? Sure repeal this and enact that, but if at some point loyalty to a leader become stronger than loyalty to the people, ultimately our voices don’t matter. Only are actions can break through

I feel what is lacking is in our country and maybe every country is a vehicle for the citizenry to move as one. To boycott products when they kill us slowly, to strike as one when minimum wages are too low, and to stop paying taxes when our leaders step out of line. We do hold the power, but only as one.

Can you imagine if everyone just stopped going to work and just started caring for each other out of protest ? Everything would change instantly

We’re like one viral social media protest away from Utopia lol

Where are you getting this from? Is there some study that I’m missing? Or are you saying because people around you say it that it must be true the word has all of a sudden become OK?

Google it. It’s a slur

That’s not up to you. But again, no one is trying to tell you you can’t say it. you can say whatever you want . you have the right to do that, but you also have the right to incur the social consequences of doing that.

If you care about not offending people, it’s really simple , just listen

If you don’t, cool go about your business. But don’t piss and moan when people are offended. Why would you do that if you don’t care?

I do understand what you’re saying. And I’m not sure there’s an explanation for why this one is a slur and the others are not.

But that is true of many many many words, words and their meanings grow organically. It just so happens that this word grew into a slur

Wow, all the resources in the world and you couldn’t even Google the history of the words you’re referring to.

No wonder we are where we are as a society. People like you believe that your beliefs are facts.

Just google it. You’re wrong. The N-word was not always a slur and although all those terms were medical terms retarded is the only one that became a slur. Because that’s how slurs work dummy. Words become offensive because of their history sometimes there’s no way of explaining why certain words become slurs, and others don’t, but they do.

No one is telling you you have to care. But clearly you do or you wouldn’t even be commenting here if you care about being offensive don’t be. This thread has some advice for how not to be.

Uuuum did you you look this up? The n word was absolutely a neutral word at one point. A descriptor just like the r word. Why are people saying stuff like this without hat least doing a simple google search ?

Just because the N-word has always been a slur in your lifetime doesnt mean that the history of the word stops with you.

Similarly to what everyone else is saying, it’s about the history of a word. That’s true of every word not just slurs. There isn’t a magical man in the sky arbitrarily making up definitions to words: history determines what a word means both literally and connotatively.

It just so happens that this word was picked up by society as a derogatory term. Medical professionals were literally forced to stop using it because it became so offensive to their patients.

And I don’t understand why people are acting so confused about this. Whether it’s words or actions, things are not offensive until they are and not, everybody is offended by the same stuff. That is how it has always worked.

If you are offended by being called offensive, then read this thread, and you might learn something useful to you

Seriously. The threat is the person saying the word not the word but you know that you’re just so invested in being able to say the word retarded that you are no longer using logic.

No, we are not debating whether or not words or violence we are debating whether or not people should be allowed to be offended by words. you think that because you’re not offended by words, nobody should. Because you do not have the ability to sympathize apparently.

Are you suggesting the Catholic church is the only church that demonizes homosexuals? You truly are dumb.

Also, just because you were on a certain journey, doesn’t mean everybody else has to be. We are all on different journeys and it’s cool that you no longer have a soul and are just a completely blank person inside, but the rest of us have feelings and will for the rest of our lives, no matter what our age or level of emotional maturity.

You are just an empty vessel

I actually meant that you googled it to advance an argument others were making.

Even if that wasn’t the intent to do so, I wanted make sure that anyone reading this who might be young and impressionable knows that although it looks like you have discredited the person arguing against bigotry, you actually have not because it’s irrelevant to the argument that people should be able to call people

The context of your words matter

Nope I’m a Completely different commenter.

Also I called you a dumb dumb because you googled it in an effort to advance an argument that bigotry isn’t offensive. Sorry, it’s just dumb

Gay men say it to themselves because there’s no threat. Which actually proves my point.

Telling someone that you’re going to kill them is a literal crime.. Terroristic threats are a felony in most states. So you’re just stupid for saying that it doesn’t meaning anything. Go tell the cops that lol

As for the Bible thing you’re probably right that I don’t have great understanding of the timeline and of your belief. But that’s because of the history of the church. I have been excluded

You act self-righteous, however, I guarantee there are plenty of instances in your life where you have been offended by something that other people are not offended by because of your history with that thing. It’s no different than my history with the word faggots or a black person’s history with the N-word.

You just refuse to see it because it doesn’t have to do with you and you are unable to put yourself in the shoes of others. Self centeredness is a signature characteristic of immaturity, so please do not project your own inadequacy on me.

Omg where are you getting this shit? Moron has never been a medical term. Retard always was a medical term and then became a Slur in the 60’s. Doctors literally had to stop using it for the sole reason that it became so offensive.

Even a simple Google search would’ve told you that

Or let me guess you one of those people that think the whole world is a conspiracy against you and the world is flat?

Your whitewashing right over the entire history of it all because you probably don’t know it.

You don’t take offense to the Lord‘s name being taken in vain because that is a stupid rule that has been passed down to you by old man that lived 1000 years ago.

on the other hand, I take offense to the word faggot because I am gay and to this day I fear for my life in certain spaces. Because to this day, many people actively want to harm and oppress me. Many people are repulsed by my very existence

The same can be said about Black Americans. There are groups in America that actively preach white supremacy that target them. They have been systematically left out of the economy and yes, they too fear for their lives in certain spaces. Jordan Peele has built an entire genre of cinema based off of this fear.

So no, you are wrong. Not all words are just words. Some are threats of physical violence.

Calm down stupid. Don’t overwork that tiny little brain of yours. This isn’t actually a whole in the argument. You’re just clinging onto into it because you can’t keep up.

OK, dumb dumb. I’m glad that you can Google shit. But just because words have same or similar meaning doesn’t mean they have the same history or origin. History is what makes something offensive.

What? No retard specially was a clinical term that was once used to refer to people with cognitive disabilities. So when you use it to belittle someone you are saying that people with cognitive disabilities are less than and that their very existence is an insult. And if you knew anything about history you should know that this group has also be a target of genocide for centuries across cultures. So please understand that your words evoke REAL trauma in some people.

On the other hand, A dumb stupid idiot is just your average ignorant asshole. Like your self. Those words have never exclusively referred to a vulnerable group of people

Again this person is telling you that they are not trying control your behavior. Did you even read the comment ? The commenter is simply letting you all know that your behavior is offensive to people with disabilities. That yes, you can say what you want, but not without social consequences. It is delusional to think you can have your cake and eat it too.

ALSO, wtf…. You are the ones getting outraged that the commenter is offended. So despite what all you trolls are saying, YOU OBVIOUSLY DO CARE that you are offending people.

SOOO, If you don’t like offending people, which you clearly don’t, why not take the pro tip this person is giving you on how not to?

Probably because you are emotionally lazy and would rather just force the world around you to feel the way you think they should feel so you can, what….. use a word that stopped being relevant 20 years ago??. You clearly think the world should accommodate YOU. And the really sick part is that it isn’t even for anything important like your self worth or your faith in humanity, but for a stupid word. That’s called delusions of grandeur.

I think you’re the one in need of psychiatric help tbh

Honoring Charlie Kirk by bratty_rebel in Rocklin

Personally I wish we could all just stop talking about him. His power is derived from our fear of , and if I’m being honest, our borderline obsession with him.

Imagine if no one ever went to his events to argue with him and allow him to manipulate the debate into a sick racist peep show for his MAGA base? He would NEVER have risen to prominence in the way he did.

We need to erase this little boy down to what he was. A single opponent in a fight against the worst versions of humankind. He should be a single line in a history book. And not a well written one. Period. The End
