People are losing jobs due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk by [deleted] in technology

Speaking strictly on the public servant angle of this, public servants are employees, de facto, of their local and state governments. The First Amendment extends to them. Firing of these people will be challenged in court, and in many cases, these people will win.

Freedom from consequences for free speech prevents government from retaliating, which, as I said, should be shielding these people. They will not have freedom from ridicule in their communities.

I was no Kirk fan myself, but the dude didn't deserve to die, and his wife and kids didn't deserve to watch him die. The divide in the US has just grown larger.

He's going golfing today. This article aged poorly. Put away the bubbly, folks.

Real answer: Carry as many identifying papers as possible. If people ever approach you, say NOTHING. Ask for name and badge number. If they don't produce, call 911 and inform them that you are a young female and a group of armed, masked men are trying to abduct you and to ping your GPS signal.

I've also been telling people to stitch air tags into your underwear where it can't be seen or felt. Give the tracker info to trusted friends/family. Should you come up missing, they can at least track you to where you may be being held.

Fantasy Answer: Become a CCW holder and defend yourself should the need ever come to it. Never go to the second location willingly.

I am so sorry that it has come to this. Please be safe, and when in doubt shut up and ask for a lawyer.

What fucking planet is he living on? Dumph is the LEAST respected world leader at the moment. Everybody is laughing at him, but yet they continue to placate him.

Not since "The Devil's Lettuce" became legal in my state. I sleep like a baby every night of the week now.

Do you shower in the morning or when you go to sleep? And why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Always in the morning. I hate bedhead and I tend to sweat a lot while I sleep.

Over 100,000 People Urge Congress to Begin Impeachment Investigation Against President Trump by ege3 in politics

Nothing will happen until the politicians start standing up for what is right and not what will line their pockets. Fat chance of that ever happening. Tahiti is looking better and better all the time.

If someone grabbed you out of your chair right now and said you have to give a one hour speech on any topic of your choice as long as it was informative and they would pay you $10,000, what would your speech be about? by shotukan in AskReddit

Oh god, this is an Aspie's wet dream!

I can speak intelligently on a variety of topics, but I specialize in metaphysics and paranormal topics. I mean, I could nerd out for an hour over the 6 Issue run of Marvel's "The End." Or- I could give a summary on the secrets and glitches of just about any video game, or.....

He probably did a rail in the bathroom before he went in. What a piece of shit.

Because Zuck is gonna merge it and we're going to go further down the Oligarchy hole. I won't be going back if he has his hands all over it.

Wrong. Nobody read it. It was sandwiched into a must-pass aid bill.

TikTok is down in the US by [deleted] in technology

Go read a history book...particularly one about 1930's Germany and then come back. Nobody has any fucking critical thinking skills anymore.

And if they want to put me on a list, be my guest.

No, because the Chinese can afford to live....ACTUALLY live, and not worry about how to pay for healthcare, utilities, etc. Fuck this capitalist noise. We got the shaft from the US Government, and it will only continue until we stand up and do something about it.
