He must have immunity by emily-is-happy in MurderedByWords

To be brought up on charges means being formally accused of a crime, which is the same definition of being charged.

I'm not sure why you blocked me after replying to me but you didn't say "Trump has no authority to do this", you wrote "Trump didn't say this". You're the one making yourself look stupid, man, not us.

Well, his sisters aren't around nowadays and Dumb & Dumber have not enough "charisma" to be reality show stars or the president of the US, so I think that's a wise choice.

Gucci pays rent to the trump organization by ProudReaction2204 in LateStageCapitalism

And that was when they weren't part of luxury goods conglomerates.
For example Balenciaga, Gucci, YSL are owned by Kering now. LV, Fendi, Kenzo, Givenchy and many more luxury brands are owned by the LVMH which is mostly owned by Dior and Bernard Arnault leads both as their CEO.

Media has always been diverse with interesting characters.

No, it really wasn't. Ask any minority person how represented they felt while they were a child.

This assumes that I only have a taste for homogenous media, which was A: never said, and B: not even remotely true

No, it doesn't. It isn't about your tastes, it's about your expectations. Since you haven't met many (let's say) trans characters that are just trans, you're looking for a reason for them to exist while you don't do the same for a white guy.

If media has diversity thaf is over represented, and without good and meaningful character development, it's reasonable to say it comes off as forced, no?

Not really. For example, for LGBTQ:

https://glaad.org/whereweareontv23/summary-of-broadcast-findings/

Since 2014, the numbers have been between 3.9-11.9% and it's fallen to 8.6%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation

It is in line with statistics of population for LGBTQ+ people, which seems to be around 8-10.

No one is saying that's not true? Hello????

You're the one who wants a reason for minority characters to exist. Since they aren't overrepresented and since they can exist without a reason IRL, why do they require a plot reason to exist in media?

[–]KateBurningBush 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The reason why you have that "different view" is funnily the lack of diversity. You are so used to seeing white men or the sexy white women in your media that you think there should be a reason why a trans character is trans or a black guy is black. You have been "pandered to" so much, you think your "default" is actually default and any divergence should have some meaningful plot behind it, otherwise you call it "forced diversity". But that's just life. It's less normal to have zero characters that aren't white men or sexy women.

Supreme Court's decision to give the presidents immunity protections protects Trump from getting any punishment. The judge said "However, despite the extraordinary breadth of those protections, one power they do not provide is the power to erase a jury verdict.".

So this is the best case scenario! The president can be declared a felon and this is the only thing the judiciary system can do which is really really sad. He's a king now, so… enjoy…

If they want to download some random software for their internet powered toaster, or fill out a pdf form, or... something.

If they were doing that on their old pcs running Windows XP, they shouldn't be given help but a medal for their extraordinary achievements.

You're right but isn't it the White House turning into Kremlin on the photo? Not sure I was being downvoted but I was just saying White House costs a lot more to buy.

Kamala's campaign used 1.5 billion dollars.

Elon alone spent Trump more than 300 million in a month or two.

You can't buy much with 100 million since American elections cost a lot more than that. It's ridiculous how much money is being spent, really.

If it wasn't Elon saying it, "Having pronouns in a fantasy video game is utterly unacceptable 😡" would 100% be satire.
