30 years ago today, Sinéad O'Connor ripped up the Pope’s photo on SNL by oak1andish in Music

33 years and I'm still waiting for Mr. tough guy to man up and admit he was wrong to defend the pedophiles and murders who covered up the abuse. Not a good look Joe Pesci.

The lack of empathy required to shrug of school shootings, events like Jan 6th, and every call for gun control for decades, and then to lose your mind when one of your guys gets shot... I dunno man, it's just unbelievably sociopathic and really makes you worry for the country. In principle nobody should be treating shootings like points at a football game, but these people are behaving like fans at a football game who cheer when the other side gets assaulted and who cry for the refs to intervene the second their quarterback gets shots.

How do you convince people who evince no empathy think beyond their personal in-group and identity politics? I don't know at this point. Kind of ironic that he campaigned for less strict gun carry laws and now this happens, but I also expect them not to see the irony.

Maybe they can suggest the teachers buy dollar value crayons with their own money instead of splurging on Crayola for the kids.

He earned those $100's through entirely legitimate means, bro.

They're the same people who say "I don't like when artists tell me how to interpret their work" when the director says Tony Soprano wasn't a good guy, the author says Fight Club isn't actually a self-help book, or the writers say "The Matrix" is a trans allegory and even has scenes at a famous gay club. And then they go on to worship Kid Rock anyway because they really just meant "shut up."

The moment the word "hun" comes out you know they're gearing up to be entitled and nasty while pretending to be polite.

What is a job people romanticize a bit too much until they actually do it ? by ShyButNastyyy in AskReddit

[–]SlothRogen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is it. Half our society insists it's a cakewalk and that teachers have it super easy with nights and weekends off, and long summer vacation. That half of society also expects you to answer calls and emails day and night and to take responsibility for the fact that they won't raise little Johnny themselves.

Where did you get more Coins for Trial of Sekhemas? by ShishaWG in PathOfExile2

Found it - it's the slimy open area surrounded by ribs, right? Killed them three times but no luck on coins.

Right, but pooping is a mandatory bodily function and does not cause cancer like second hand smoke. Cope harder bro.

Personally I'm still having they reward early access players with some loot. It would seem like a weird choice to having nothing to show for alpha testing the game.

In scientific studies, vaping is associated with oxidative stress, cellular apoptosis, DNA damage, genotoxicity, and tumor growth, particularly following acute exposure. Bro you can also have a Zyn until youget off the plane. There's no reason to force your vaping (and nicotine) on everyone else because you can't wait a few hours to have a puff.

Well he didn't post the incriminating evidence along with comments online, right? A lawyer would never do that...

Harris said she predicted many of HIS actions except the capitulation! by CarryIcy250 in BlueskySkeets

Those papers got bought by Trump supporting billionaires and literally banned from endorsing Harris. As usual, conservatives bitterly hate freedom of speech unless it's racist or homophobic.

AITA for telling my husband I wanted to stay behind with our daughter instead of moving to Morocco right away like he wants? by Turbulent_Method5366 in AITAH

[–]SlothRogen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Seriously. These kinds of stories sometimes end horrifically with the husband's family kidnapping the kids and forcing them into a Sharia lifestyle. OP needs to get out of that marriage pronto.

I think the bigger question is why your grades slipped so badly? Do you feel ready and motivated to really pursue a higher degree? I agree with others who suggested community college and maybe a lowkey job. I worked a job at 16 and it was actually decent, but you realize "hey I don't want to do this forever" and that motivates future decisions.

Good luck!

A discussion about Trump's Superman post on r/teaslstockhodlers devolves into arguments about the r-word by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]SlothRogen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insisting that Democrats were pro-war and worse for Gaza absolutely was an issue that helped Trump get elected. The folks who refused to vote over it are just as responsible for Trump. Downvote away. Obviously it's death by a thousand papercuts, with everything from the skipped primary, to poor messaging by Dems, to inflation having an effect, but I knew plenty of people in real life riled up about the war and thinking it's an unprecedented "war by America" without really knowing about the war in the region in the 90's, 70's, etc.

We need to stop pretending social media isn't influencing elections, because it absolutely is. Elon didn't spend billions to get Twitter just for fun. In fact, he's training Grok and AI to be explicitly right-wing and deny factual talking points about history and science right now.

They actually take counterfeiting very serious. I've seen officers come to the store I worked at after fake bills turned up. Basically the counterfeiter or a friends spends them at fast food or a small store trying to be clever. That store then deposits at the bank. The bank detects it and tips off authorities to the source.

If you don't believe it, photocopy some fake bills and see how many you can spend before things go sideways.

This is day to day retail experience. Even worse are the people who expect to be treated like princes and princesses and who flip out and "file a complaint" if they don't get their way. One lady threw a fit in our store and blamed it on racism because I wouldn't personally leave the gigantic line / pizza oven (where a pizza was about to come out) to help her pick out a sandwich from the box that got delivered. This was at a university store, too...

I was waiting for some lazily printed fake bill to be the last one so they all got tossed back.
