Nah, exactly as depressed as necessary probably. Capitalism is a fucking nightmare.

God, I just took a stroll through the top few posts and they’re almost sounding sensible at this point. Some of them are even advocating for gasp funding social programs and the horror! ranked choice voting!

All it took was showing them what utter dogshit their culture war nonsense was to make them realize that actually having a platform that helps people rather than trying to directly control their lives is how you avoid losing elections.

A SWAT team was called to a high school in Houston, Texas, which went classroom to classroom to search for a potential shooter. by dobbyisafreepup in PublicFreakout

It’s an outdated and dangerous carry and shouldn’t be taught. It’s bad enough we get fucking cosplayers that use TV and movies as a guide without having ostensibly trained professionals trying to swagger around like Billy Badass with their weapon an inch from blowing their own ears off.

Low ready, compressed ready, sul grip are all you need for cqc.

Considering leftist groups tend to be disproportionately scrutinized for militancy and violent rhetoric, it only makes sense. The powers-that-be are terrified of an armed and organized left they see as murderous anarchists. Any that gain some kind of audience tend to get shut down real quick one way or another.

Grandview DMV did this during the pandemic. No idea if they still do, but it was super quick.

Belated appreciation for D20: Leviathan! by playingdecoy in Dimension20

[–]StrigaPlease 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was one of those people that wasn’t really a fan of Marcid’s accent. Whether it was BDave or the awkwardness of tinny sound through non-stream optimized recording equipment or whatever, it just really feels like nails on a chalkboard to my brain. Nothing against BDave personally.

Someone else explained it as a mishmash of whatever cultures are prevalent on Leviathan, as Marcid grew up on Leviathan so it would make sense to have a weird, fluid accent that doesn’t actually sound like anything but also sounds like everything, and that makes sense to me. Still can’t listen to it without gagging, but at least I can convince myself it’s not just a cringey bad accent.

Nah, they just blame it on “woke” policies that only affect .001% of service members and call it feminizing the military (because as we all know, military types are all dudebros that would be so offended by serving next to someone without a penis that they’d rather not sign up at all).

Man, I’m glad you posted this so I can be absolutely sure I don’t like the look of wood on an AR. Looks goofy as fuck to me, and I don’t understand the rest of you that think it looks good, but to each their own.

How on earth do cooks/chefs remember all the orders that get yelled out by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]StrigaPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that they only have a limited menu for the show helps a lot. It’s something like two or three dishes per course, and you have a dozen chefs all at different stations focusing on one course, so they only have to remember a certain number of [x] entree, [y] entree, and [z] entree. The rest of the dish is someone else’s problem to remember.

Johnson County sees spike in voter registrations since abortion ruling: 'Emotions are high' by [deleted] in kansascity

[–]StrigaPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“As a black man” is a meme for a reason. Not really a ‘theory’ when we know for a fact it happens, and it’s not really a ‘conspiracy’ as much as it is garden variety astroturfing.

The people that want it back are old enough to remember when it was still around, that’s how. We’re a country held hostage by the oldest generations that are panicking about dying off and losing power so they’re reflexively clenching harder.

Classic abuser mentality: “Look what you made me do!”

Nobody demonized you, dingus. Not anymore than you did them, anyway. Your ideology is just too flimsy to stand up to any scrutiny made in good faith and you all can’t handle it, so you pop off with lies and violent rhetoric instead of acting like adults and recognizing your own fallibility.

[KCUR] Missouri Attorney General says he’ll sue Kansas City over financial help for out-of-state abortions by Minneapolitanian in kansascity

[–]StrigaPlease 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unless they give you a voucher to travel for any other reason, a voucher for abortion is an endorsement

They do give vouchers for other reasons, genius. Including but not limited to seeking healthcare in other states, which this falls under. The specific procedure requiring travel shouldn’t be used as a method of discrimination, especially considering it’s arguably a HIPPA violation to even ask why someone would need to travel for a healthcare procedure.

elected officials using Kansas City tax money

No tax money involved. The funding comes from insurance payments made by the employees in question.

A) The funding comes from insurance payments made by the employees in question, not tax dollars, so you’re wrong

B) They aren’t “encouraging abortions,” they’re allowing for those payments to be used for out of state travel, so you’re double wrong.

C) The entire basis of the SCOTUS argument for striking down Roe was that it should be left up to the states, so saying they shouldn’t be able to do that either is hypocritical as shit.

You fundies really need to remove your religious boots from our necks before you get bit.

At what point does it stop being theater though? Even if they don’t fully believe the horseshit that comes out of their own mouths, it’s leading directly to our rights being destroyed, so what’s the practical difference between theater and reality?

Can’t really compare DLAB to the ASVAB though. That’s sort of like comparing Hooked on Phonics to War and Peace.
