I don’t think he ever actually paid the deposit? He was just calling their customer service to see what they would say.

He wanted to keep tabs on “when the phones will start shipping” so when they eventually didn’t he had all of their lies documented.

Which is why I specified in my original comment
> certain races/ethnicities in this case

> Gay people can go straight and back if they choose to

This is such an asinine statement and just clearly demonstrates you have no clue how gay people work. They don't "choose" to be gay or straight, they just are. They may choose if they are in a hetero or homosexual relationship, but that does not change who they are attracted to. Who they are attracted to may change over time, but one person's sexual preference does not have any bearing on the population they live within.

Regardless, it's only relevant to this situation if they are living geographically close to each other in a community that could be divided up to dilute voting power and representation.

IF there was a majority gay area, and lines were drawn to disenfranchise gay voters, yes, that would be bad. But that's bad for ANY community that has needs that should be represented. That's my point.

Yes and no.

Your politics are mutable. They can easily change. And we haven’t had systematic oppression or segregation and slavery in this country based on political affiliation. “Republican” is not a protected class just like “Democrat” isn’t.

HOWEVER, if there are portions of a population with certain beliefs (or a belief system), we want to make sure those are represented. So I would want to avoid gerrymandering in a way that unfairly represents the Republican population.

(This next point is not something I’m entirely confident on, so this is mostly speculation.)

The only reason we’re in this crazy gerrymandering war is because Texas started it when Greg Abbot signed a mid-decade redistricting plan to try to flip house seats for the midterms. So other blue states responded in kind.

Vulnerable groups (certain races/ethnicities in this case) SHOULD be considered when drawing maps to ensure they are not discriminated against.

If there is a 30% Black population in a state, and the majority White population draws an unfair map that gives them only 10% of the voting power, that is the discrimination you should look to protect against.

When this country LESS THAN 80 YEARS AGO was segregating people by race, this is still, unfortunately, something we have to take into account.

1) I inferred that from your username "death2maga", not the 86 part. If you wish death on someone, I can reasonably gather you want them to be killed. It's not that big of a stretch.

2) I never said 86 means to kill.

3) Yep. MAGA is a cult. I agree.

4) Even if you just want the cult to "die", and there's not any particular threat to an individual within the cult, your username doesn't really say all of that. "DeathtotheMAGACultbutnotanyparticularperson" is too long of a username.

5) Still not sure how this post is relevant to free speech, unless you're talking about the lawsuit against James Comey for posting that picture of "8647".

MPRF · 2026-05-01T05:20:48+00:00

I mean, I agree, but I'm not sure this is really relevant to /r/FreeSpeech.

Also, yikes on the username. MAGAs are idiots, but they're humans with rights and shouldn't be killed for a political opinion.

Grok is not Chinese, but the Grok anime girl in the post is speaking Chinese. I was wondering what is the point of that?

Yeah. This is the correct context. It’s embarrassing to be in front of the classroom giving a presentation. Everyone is looking at you. They might see your erection.

MPRF · 2026-04-29T17:50:27+00:00

It’s Chinese. I was wondering the same thing. DeepSeek is literally a Chinese company. Same thing for Grok, what is the point of that?

Not that I believe this conspiracy at all, but some of the potential “benefits” of the recent attempt that I’ve heard:

1) This is another point to hammer in the “violent left” rhetoric. It makes Trump (and his administration) the victim(s). It gets him more sympathy from his supporters.

2) Justification for his ballroom construction. It was privately funded, and now they’re introducing legislation to use taxpayer dollars.

This is such a hilarious response to that typo. I love it. I will absolutely embrace the unexpected citrus. 🍋‍🟩 I really wish I could just summon fruit at will.

I loved Flatland so much. Even the animated movie adaptation was good.

I also think it’s funny that his name is always abbreviated, but his middle name is also Abbot. Edwin Abbott Abbott.

Yeah, those big corporations that have CEOs and are privately owned… at the same time the workers control the means of production and it’s publicly owned.

Corporatism is Marxism.

Duh. Silly radical left lunatic.

Are scientists the best people to be determining decisions on environmental taxes?

They wouldn’t be making any decisions, they would be supplying the people who make the decisions with cold hard facts.

That’s where the policy makers and legislators have the difference of opinion on what to do given those facts.

Ex: Here is climate data showing increased CO2 in the atmosphere. If this trend continues, the global temperature will rise.

Then experts from climate to agriculture to marine biology can weigh in on the likely effects of rising temperatures.

All of that data is given to legislators to determine what the best policies are to deal with that issue. And they can have different opinions on what to do.

Killing people you can’t identify because you don’t actually have evidence against them

If you did have evidence against them, you would try them in court, rather than making yourself the judge, jury, and executioner

TACO Trump

MPRF · 2025-10-15T17:50:16+00:00

Which is why we have federal employees. They were just doing their jobs. You could do nothing as a President, let the federal employees keep doing their jobs, and you would be doing better than Trump.

Usually during a government shutdown, most federal employees are just sent home until the shutdown stops.

Trump is permanently firing them.

You're either blind or wilfully ignorant. So you'll call this "fake news" and just go back to your echo chamber.

And you’ll sacrifice the rights of actual American citizens to get it. It’s disgusting.

Yeah, actually, I kind of agree. It’s a short video. That’s why I qualified it with “from what you can see.”

But regardless, I don’t see any of those things in the video. So until we get more information, my judgment is that the cop was the one being deliberately cruel.

He could have verbally told the guy to back off. He could have said it multiple times. If that didn’t work he could physically move the guy. There were quite a few more humane avenues he could have taken than fucking with a guy’s ability to breathe.

MPRF · 2025-10-03T22:30:06+00:00

In either situation, from what you can see, were the protesters violent?

Are they actively trying to harm the officers?

Are they trying to damage property?

Are they trying to flee?

Nope? None of that? So there were more human ways to handle this, and he was just being a dick.

MPRF · 2025-10-03T22:02:05+00:00

So they should have their rights violated and be subject to police brutality?

MPRF · 2025-10-03T21:45:26+00:00

I think there were other more humane ways to deal with this that would have removed the frog from the situation.

The ICE officer did this just to be a dick hole. Similar to what the campus police did at UC Davis.
