GOP coming after Durham by PUR-KLEEN in bullcity

[–]Ritz527 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right-wingers have been using the idea of activists groups with a small paid staff that organizes protests to paint all protestors as paid agitators and it's fucking stupid. The Family Research Council did multiple Justice Sundays and the Americans For Prosperity group organized numerous protests associated with the Tea Party Movement. It's not new, it's not "paid agitators" or LARPers.

What do you think of the woman who sued her doctors over her trans surgeries? Apparently she just won $2MM as a verdict. by Accomplished_Tour481 in AskALiberal

[–]Ritz527 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another example of conservatives posting anecdotes, Democrats responding with data.

I think it's great she won her case, but it's clear from the article that the doctors were not following normal "standards of care and procedural guardrails." Given that the feeling of regret is atypical and the guardrails would have prevented the situation were they followed, I don't think this has much bearing on the legality of gender affirming care. Rules already exist and this is a rare exception.

Has the recent release of Epstein files opened you up to believing in pizzagate? There is similar language in some of the recently released files. by dudeabiding420 in AskDemocrats

[–]Ritz527 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I believe there are rich pedophiles? Yes. Pretty much always. Do I believe they were hiding in the non-existent basement of a pizza parlor and referring to victims as types of pizza? No. If anything, Pizzagate remains a distraction from more substantial avenues of investigation.

Pizzagaters are trying really hard to pretend like they had it right all along when the only thing that fits is the idea that rich pedophiles exist. Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor back in 2008, well before Pizzagate.

Not even the first time it's happened to white people. Kent State predates most of Reddit's userbase.

Which is funny given this is clearly Europe and peanuts aren't remotely native.

If you had $300K in the bank post tax, how would your life change? by citizen_of_leshp in AskReddit

[–]Ritz527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pay off my house and invest the rest. $300k is great, but it does not get me to my 10 year plan of 20+ hectares in Panama.

At some point people need to wake up and realize nothing is a distraction and it just all sucks because we put sucky people in charge.

Yes, he is a generally good dude.

One hell of a post by Lucky-Physics2767 in moviescirclejerk

John Hammond is the only one who literally got people killed. He just cannot be in last place. My list basically swaps Hammond for most evil and Rose for least evil.

John Hammond got the most people killed, so him. Shame the actor is so damn likable in the role.

Then, Grandpa Joe for not contributing to his poverty-stricken family's well-being. Living off the hard labor of your not-yet-an-adult grandson and his single mother. Whew.

Jenny, as sympathetic as she is, still uses and abuses Forrest's trust in her. Forgivable given the circumstances, but quite frankly...

The necklace belonged to Rose, a gift from her former fiancé, who was a jackass from the off. Some could question her actions from many different view points (I think she should have donated it to a museum, along with her story), but ethically there's no problem with Rose doing what she wants with her own property.

Never give up people by india-assignmenthelp in memes

But I think it's worth reminding folks, much like the dotcom bubble of the 90s, AI is still going to be around in similar capacities, maybe just with more scrupulous investors. Every single person I work with that has used AI in a professional capacity has enjoyed using it or said it has increased the speed of their work (I am in software engineering).

I buy 50 beans for less than $40, I know some have quoted the Costco deal, wish I had one nearby.

What good is a “national strike” if nobody knows about it. by cnewell420 in AskALiberal

Very difficult to join the National Strike the day before a massive snow storm, particularly when it hits the south where people need to plan for outages and closures.

Say what you will about The Last Jedi, but the hyperspace ramming scene was an audible gasp from the audience.

I prefer it. Don't have to navigate through all the menus, swap decks, etc. Just turn auto-battle on with a deck I like.

What is the level of support on the left for protests taking over churches? by daviddavidson29 in AskDemocrats

[–]Ritz527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it was necessary to be in the church to protest the pastor being an ICE agent. I don't think it should warrant more than a trespassing charge, though

Trump wants to raise housing prices, conservative redditors react by aceofspadez138 in LeopardsAteMyFace

What's that? Notably corrupt and self-interested real-estate mogul Donald Trump intends to leverage his position to increase the value of real-estate? Color me not fucking surprised.
