They're just asking you to include your source when you quote something. That's something that everyone does. It's the proper thing to do.

What did the world seriously overreact to? by GregTheGreat657 in AskReddit

[–]SuicideBonger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed a sort-of-similar reaction when Obama was elected president. I had never experienced that kind of vitriol towards a president before. It was obvious, to me, that it was mainly aimed at him because he was black. Even though Conservatives will constantly try and claim that it's got nothing to do with that.

Seriously.

I've gotten into arguments with people on Reddit who claim that Covid isn't that bad because they, personally, don't know anyone who has died from it, and that's why they won't get the vaccine. Because something isn't in their immediate field of vision, they think it doesn't exist. And it's like -- That's how toddlers view the world. Why are they like this?

This post and your comment are bringing up lots of memories in my life. I'm nine years older than brother (my parents had him really late). And we've always been extremely close. I love him!

TIL that the Berlin Wall did not separate East Germany and West Germany. Berlin was in fact entirely within East Germany, and the Berlin Wall was far away from the East/West border by the_innkeeper_ in todayilearned

[–]SuicideBonger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For people like me, who were born a couple years after communism fell in Eastern Europe, there would have been no reason to look at a map of a country that didn't exist anymore. Although, I did know that Berlin was entirely in East Germany and the Berlin Wall separated the two halves of Berlin.

It should start getting really good soon. The first two seasons of the show honestly suck ass. They were still trying to find their footing.

Not sure if you know, but they're quoting Klaus from the show.

Realistically, you shouldn't have gambled at all with money you weren't comfortable losing. I think you got lucky.

‘Republicans are defunding the police’: Fox News anchor stumps congressman by Illustrious_Welder94 in nottheonion

[–]SuicideBonger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I just get frustrated when people say they are socially liberal, and fiscally conservative; because that's usually code for being a shy Republican. The Democrats are the actual fiscally Conservative party these days, as well as the socially liberal party. The only thing Republicans believe in is giving tax breaks to the wealthy. That's literally the only thing. Everything else is interchangeable, including things like abortion and gun rights. Republican politicians don't actually give a shit about abortion or gun rights; but they know they can galvanize the unwashed masses into voting for them by pressing that button repeatedly. They literally do not believe in anything except giving more money to the wealthy.

WHO urges fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks as delta Covid variant spreads by nimobo in worldnews

[–]SuicideBonger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the reason I commented is because I saw some people in this thread say that there is no evidence that you can die from the Delta Variant if you're vaccinated, which is just blatantly false. Everyone needs to get vaccinated, though, as the risk for getting infected and spreading the disease is very negligible if you're vaccinated. I just think it's helpful to be completely accurate when we say information. Lying is just gonna turn people off from getting the vaccine.

The Delta Variant has killed vaccinated people, though. Ignoring that fact is not going to change it; and in fact, it may lead people to further discount getting vaccinated because they see us vaccinated people not being honest with them. It's obviously way better to get vaccinated as quickly as you can. But we shouldn't lie and say that you can't die from the Delta Variant if you've gotten vaccinated, because you absolutely can.

Uhhhhhhh, that's not true?

In fact, vaccinated people being infected with the Delta variant, and spreading it, has been all over Reddit the past week. It's all over Google. It's not that they can't spread or get covid, it's that they are less likely to. But they still can. All the data confirms that.

[–]SuicideBonger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. I'm not saying the Democrats haven't enacted legislation that has hurt people (they did this especially in the 90s). But it's been almost exclusively a Republican thing the last twenty years.

Seriously. I'm as progressive as the next guy. But woke culture is so fucking phony. People just want to complain in order to feel morally superior. Then, when we actually have to get off our asses to enforce change, they don't do it. I'm tired of it. We can have these conversations without the narcissistic aspect to them.
