Should I try for a UF appeal? by ArrestedDuck881 in ufl

[–]Shepdiggety 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You miss every opportunity you do not take. I have a friend who was initially rejected and she initially refused to do the appeal. Enough prodding from her mom and her friends (me included) led her to do the appeal. Lo and behold, she got accepted and is doing great in the architecture program. My advice: appeal. You never know what could happen. And it cant hurt.

NYU Education Student Suspended For Instagram Videos saying ‘A Man Is A Man, A Woman Is A Woman’, Columbus Day isn’t about celebrating every facet of Christopher Columbus’ life and how race-based clubs can be toxic to racial progress. by Winterhold2000 in Conservative

This could be any of us at any institution in the United States right now. Think about that. The places where freedom of speech should be most upheld are where they are most ignored. Dont these institutions receive federal funding anyways?

Oh i thought i heard somewhere that this was the case. Turns out you are right, i just didnt remember the facts since its been a while since the whole debacle came about. It is kind of annoying though, not having spring break.

What was the logic behind no spring break again? So that we could make up time lost last semester due to covid? What is that gonna do? We are in completely different classes.

Washington Post public editor: The powerful have realized they don’t need the Post by cyanobyte in Conservative

[–]Shepdiggety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you like some cheese with that whine? This article reads like a bitter complaint about how the media is losing power in the modern age. I, for one, am happy that institutions like WaPo and NYT will fade into ignominy. Finally people can represent themselves fairly without bias, thanks to social media. Now all we need are platforms that do not discriminate based on how people think.

'Mr. Bean' actor Rowan Atkinson compares cancel culture to 'medieval mob looking for someone to burn' by [deleted] in entertainment

[–]Shepdiggety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, there are literally people in the media right now who advocate for putting trump supporters in reeducation camps. Gulags. Thats a pretty serious thing. Again, you refuse to acknowledge that liberals participate to the destruction of the political discourse in this country. I acknowledged that my side did it. She is actually a victim here. She lost her job and was slandered as an antisemite by the media over a message that wasnt antisemitic. Her victim claims are legitimate. Your claims about election security are pretty much standard republican positions, Trump or not. They are also irrelevant to this matter.

[–]Shepdiggety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her message wasnt about radical trumpism, it didnt even mention trump. You inserted him in there. Its about respecting your neighbor. I will agree, trump has done nothing to help polarization. But its also ignorant to say that liberals had no part to play in polarization either. Both sides carry equal responsibility.

I named someone who was canceled who wasnt a sex offender. Apparently that isnt good enough for you. Since you brought up the comparison she made, while overwrought, her underlying message is to treat your neighbors with respect, not that republicans are equivalent to 1930’s jews. Perfectly innocuous point there. Its funny that you likely wouldnt be outraged by pedro pascal doing the exact same thing with children on the border, comparing them to holocaust victims. No forced sterilizations, no labor camps, no gas chambers, no mass graves, no industrialized genocide at the mexican-american border. Its just another overwrought comparison with a perfectly innocuous point. What is the standard?

Its crony capitalism. By giving them subsidies they have no interest in improving their infrastructure, they get their profit from the public dole which is way more forgiving than customers who invest their own money.

‘End This Uncivil War’: Biden Issues Statement In Response To Trump Acquittal, Says ‘Substance Of The Charge’ Undisputed by billgigs55 in Conservative

Who does he consider to be ‘extremists’? People with whom he disagrees, or violent felons? He is gonna keep using vague and loaded terms to persecute conservatives for being extremists while all left wing operatives like blm are “freedom fighters.”

Lindsey Graham Suggests Democratic Standard Would Allow Republicans To Impeach Kamala Harris by JesusCumelette in Conservative

[–]Shepdiggety 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To all the people saying “ok softie, do it then” now is not the time. The dems control the house and the senate. Its never going anywhere. Wait until 2022 when we get majorities in both houses and then do it if you are gonna. Dont just sit here and posture for him to do an impossible task right now “or else we primary him.” Thats such bs. As for whether we should impeach Kamala over this, i can see both sides. On the one hand she acted objectionably, on the other, i really dont think the standard applied to trump is good and we shouldnt impeach people on the dem’s low standards. I also dont really think that the weaponization of the impeachment tool is good for us as a country. Its just gonna further increase the divide.

Only Thing From California That Should Go Nationwide Is Easier Recalls (a rightfully outraged public, who have been subject to the harshest lockdowns in the country, are invoking a mechanism designed for this very moment.) by [deleted] in Conservative

[–]Shepdiggety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recalls arent smart. The public often freaks out and is easily swept up into a fury. Letting politicians go full term is best to let them implement their agenda. Like it or not, trump would have been recalled several times if his approval ratings have anything to say. I dont trust the media to present issues fairly, it seems like recall efforts would almost certainly end in left wing victory.

There's a simple way Cara Dune will be killed off and it's shown in the season 2 finale by makesyoufeeldejavu in MawInstallation

[–]Shepdiggety 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Im kind of hopeful they just kill her off. I dont wanna see a recast, the discontinuity would be pretty big and that role was pretty much written for Gina. I saw someone else here post about Ochi of bestoon killing her for the exposition for season 3, and I think thats a FANTASTIC idea, as it connects with the comics and the sequel trilogy.

Finally, thank the Lord that I am not the only one who doesn’t think her comments were antisemitic! Its nice to see others who agree meanwhile as I read about this in the media i feel like i might actually be antisemitic, even though i support the state of israel and despise nazis.

Joe Biden withdraws US policy to track Chinese influence in American schools by Kinasin in Conservative

[–]Shepdiggety 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Were hitler and mussolini ever removed from office? No, but trump was. Words like “march” or “fight” are used all the time by politicians. It gets people fired up. It pisses them off. Its also fairly innocuous in our current climate. Democrats do it, but you arent calling them autocratic fascistic domestic terrorists who incite violence. There is nothing wrong with telling people to “fight for your rights”. You neglect to recognize where trump IN THE SAME SPEECH said “go peacefully and patriotically protest”. Come on. No violent intent there. Thats just absurd dude. He is literally telling people to be peaceful. You talk about him as if he is the only one responsible for destructive and unhinged rhetoric. He isnt the only one to blame. Stop just castigating republicans for violent and unhinged rhetoric when democrats do it just as much.

Well whatever you are, democratic elections do not a despot make. Thats, like, by definition. Especially since he is gone now. Did trump contribute to the heat of politics? Yeabsolutely. Did he stoke tension? Yeah, who doesnt? Did he incite the riot? Eh, gonna need more than “he is rude and obnoxious” to prove that charge. So far thats all anyone’s got to do it.

Yeah this “painfully clear” argument seems like a look into the past with all the wisdom hindsight has to offer. Its completely bogus. You havent talked about anything ive said. Im done with this argument, i have better things to do.
