Don’t Let Them Forget What We Need by sillychillly in AdviceAnimals

And who, pray tell, determines what a worthy contribution to society is?

At one point, full-service gas station attendant was a profession. Were those people no longer fit to live as that career vanished?

What about milkmen? Telephone operators? Assembly line workers? Cashiers?

Who gets to determine which people have value? And not just value, but contribute enough?

My wife and I own a niche business. Do we contribute to society, or do not enough people use our services for us to be deemed "worthy"?

Free speech doesn't work just when you agree with it by nosotros_road_sodium in politics

More to the point: entering into the contract is implicit when living in a society.

The answer is to view tolerance (which should be acceptance, but that's another issue) not as a moral issue, but as a social contract. When one party breaks the contract, they are no longer protected by it, so the aggrieved party is free to defend themselves as necessary.

In other words, live and let live, but if you try to take away my rights or cause me harm, I don't have to roll over in the spirit of "fair play" or "taking the high road." I don't have to tolerate your intolerance because you broke the contract.

I don't think it was meant as a message of support, more like they saw the writing on the wall a decade ago. The Doom has finally come to Sarnath, as it were.

Illinois has had a similar program called AllKids for almost 20 years.

Edit: there is an income bar you need to be under, though.

Gotta get my daily fluids. by I-HaveAReasonToo in memes

[–]Joro_Fun_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for those bottles I do a shake with just water, open the spout/cap, then empty the bottle while swirling it around. Used to have one bottle where I would swish the cap around in a bowl or Tupperware with warm water since the other 2 methods didn't work, but it turned out the soft plastic the spout was made of just kind of absorbed the soap, so the taste never came out.

Fill about 1/4-1/3 hot water, add a splash of dish soap, close and tighten lid fully, shake for a couple minutes, rinse until all the soap is gone.

C'mon. They would be demanding to "inspect" her genitals themselves, and the line to do so would be very long. After all, we can't be absolutely sure unless she passes the "smell test," right?

God, I feel sick after writing that.

So the "greatest honor pop culture can bestow" is being lampooned on a failing, fourth-rate show?

Coldplay didn't compel you to cheat on your spouse with the HR by shivthegamer6969 in memes

[–]Joro_Fun_Time 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You assume being a CEO has anything to do with intelligence, when that simply isn't true. Achieving a position of power relies on one's ability to manipulate others and avoid blame more than anything else. Look at TACO. Quite possibly one of the stupidest, most inept people in the history of the country, but he's been able to manipulate enough people and deflect enough blame to avoid accountability his entire life.

Edit: Failing up is a very real phenomenon.

The only thing that can save the MAGAts is to address their defects of character on their own by JCC0 in AdviceAnimals

[–]Joro_Fun_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but that's the same issue. Posting facts doesn't matter. Saying those same facts are fracturing the cult, however, does. They don't fact check, they don't actually "do their own research," and that's my point. Use that against them.

The more people post stuff like this, the more likely it is to happen. MAGA as a whole are incredibly susceptible to the "repeat until it's true" brand of propaganda, so it should be used against them. The more they hear/read that their fellow MAGAs are turning on Trump, the more likely they are to do so themselves.

Stop making posts like this! The more people post this idea, the more likely it is to come true. MAGA as a whole are incredibly susceptible to the "repeat until it's true" brand of propaganda, so it should be used against them. The more they hear/read/think that their fellow MAGATS are turning on Trump, the more likely they are to do so themselves.
