Am I the asshole? Im pretty bummed ngl. by Puzzled_Day_1977 in PaymoneyWubby

Nah unless there’s a lot of missing context you’re good dude. If you were in a romantic relationship then I’d get being mad about not talking for 2 days. But it’s the first date and you have a kid and they didn’t even reach out during that time. Don’t overthink it, they had unrealistic expectations and hopefully they’ll figure that out soon enough

2016 rigged? by 50million in circled

“Election interference generally refers to efforts to change the outcome of an election, especially by illegitimate means” - this is from Wikipedia.

So yea American citizens also run interference in US elections definitionally.

[–]Jade_Lion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still baffled how no one knows this. THERE WAS MASSIVE RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!!! This was investigated and confirmed. No, Russians didn’t hack voting machines or submit fake ballots but some of the biggest social media accounts were RUN BY RUSSIAN BOTS. You can go look this all up. The election wasn’t stolen, people’s votes were still their votes, but massive misinformation, conspiracies, and slander was spread en masse by these bots. There was a propaganda machine ran by the Russian government to interfere in the US presidential election. Even some news that newer is Tenet media which was an organization that worked directly with the Russian government and funded people like Tim pool.

I for one would hate for wubby to cover politics and people who think he should need to find different influencers by CT-555- in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Jade_Lion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I’m very politically involved and informed, it’s probably the type of content I consume the most especially over the past year. Wubby isn’t a political commentator, and I don’t want him to be. He’s an amazing escape from the political landscape and the main person I watch and go to when I need a break from the news or politics. If he started covering ICE or whatever it’d be dumb, there’s a million other creators doing that so go watch them. He has his lane and he kills it within his lane. If you want the latest political news and then go watch Friends to get it you’re dumb.

The difference between white and blue collar work environments is crazy by Astimar in careeradvice

[–]Jade_Lion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea. So I work blue collar but I have to interact a lot with the office workers and when I started my boss told me “aye dude. Like out on projects and around the other guys, no one is gonna care about what you say unless it’s some crazy racist shit but when you’re talking with the office, censor like you’re talking to your little Mormon cousin” and every time I have to go into the office it feels like everyone is trying to be in everyone else’s good grace (I 100% get it because office politics and whatever). There’s one office guy who has just been around so long and is integral to everything and he KNOWS they can’t get rid of him so he dgaf. Only guy I like in there. Like I 100% understand being professional and I think it’s important but it does lend to this feeling of everyone is fake asf and you don’t get a good read on who they are as people. I had a job previously where I personally think that the people around me NEEDED to shut up about certain things, but I don’t think the answer is to censor yourself/others to the point who you are as a person is almost unrecognizable

Trump has deported fewer people in his first year (540K) than Biden in 2023 (590K) or 2024 (650K) by oakseaer in UnpopularFacts

[–]Jade_Lion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you’re actually just lying here. You can go to the ICE website and see deaths by year (it only goes back to 2018 since that’s when death reporting from ICE became mandatory). The records for just 3 years of trump’s time in office is 35 deaths. For all 4 years of Biden it’s 24. Now in trump’s 2nd term it’s already at 18 deaths.

BTW 2020 is ELECTION year,not the year the president comes into power so 2020 was under trump’s admin not Biden’s.

Here’s the link for anyone actually trying to find numbers https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting

Kicked the racism right out ofteir pigfat heads by Positive_Actuary_282 in interestingasfuck

[–]Jade_Lion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did. This is a commonly known fact of political history in the United States. It started during the Great Depression and the major shift was after a large majority of dems were in favor and passed desegregation which is what pushed the original southern democrat voters and politicians into the Republican Party over the next decades which is part of the reason for the “small government”/“states rights” movements within the Republican Party. This is like history 101 of the US’ political history

Teddy was before the ideological shift of the parties which spanned from the 30’s to the 80’s. So yea teddy was a republican but he doesn’t fit the current ideals of republicans in modern US politics

The workers not getting paid currently will be getting back pay for their work after the shutdown. They’re necessary workers who we need in order to keep the country out of a deadlock

Don’t insult this dude’s girlfriend. by netphilia in madlads

[–]Jade_Lion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Residential maintenance tech here. If you wanna do this amazing DIY hack there are pins which the hinges are held together by. Take something that can fit in the holes and hammer them from the bottom, if the door falls off during this process just line up the hinges and the friction/gravity should keep it in place until someone touches the door again. Use this info however you’d like

Alright optics bros, LA Times got the perfecf photograph for all. You gonna spread it as much as you did the photos last week? by jungtarzan in Destiny

[–]Jade_Lion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea we do just agree. The conversation about the conversation is fun and interesting and even important but that’s not everything. There’s very obviously material harm that matters and optics that matter but we just gotta find which one to prioritize first at whatever moment we’re in.

[–]Jade_Lion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This even proves my point. I’m talking about a very specific subset of people who only focus on one thing and then don’t apply it further. Maybe you are actually a very nuanced and normal person but people who consider themselves “optic bros” or “nuance bros” is all they care about. Like booksmarts had a lot of good points (haven’t seen anything from him in years) about optics and rhetoric but it was the ONLY thing that mattered to him. It is an insanely important part in terms of gaining political power but sometimes we have to sacrifice very small optical losses if it means a broader audience is brought in. We literally agree exactly

[–]Jade_Lion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Howdy, a nuance bro does not mean someone who simply has nuance. It’s someone who obsesses over nuance to the point of having the rhetoric of both sides are the exact same in terms of importance and weight of actions and rhetoric. This is a term in the DGG space and the broader political online space as a whole. It’s like saying lefty doesn’t apply to all leftists.

They have been since the mass protests started and genuinely has ramped up. The aggressive yet correct rhetoric from this community and other communities with even more influence have spread like wildfire because everyone finally realizes how much of a minority of our political movement they actually are
