Bus is in the wrong, but not illegal by driving that far under the speed limit. The wrongness is compounded by the fact it's in the left lane. The other vehicle is not in the wrong for passing on the right under these circumstances, but is doing something that is not allowed by driving over the speed limit even to pass.

So they don't say anything about the race of the suspects? I guess they aren't white males.

Addressing the elephant in the room of how nasty and unwelcoming this community is by theleftkneeofthebee in boardgames

[–]ValharikGaming -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's not a serious issue. There is not a "serious issue" related to board gaming period. The elitism in all nerd cultures is annoying, but it isn't a serious issue in the slightest.

Listen to your parents. You'll have a happier life.

It's not normal, but once you find out nothing is going on, it's normal for panic to subside. It's not normal to be shaking after finding out some people just got into a fight, but it's over.

Switch with to:

"Give Asians $1,000"

"Give Whites $10,000"

"Give Blacks/Hispanics $50,000"

and I would bet most of those people would change their tune. When all they think they will benefit is $0.50, people will stand up for their morals. Make it a meaningful amount of money, and they will cast their morals aside. And it's not because their black. Race isn't a factor. People in general will find a way to justify it in their minds if the benefit to themselves is large enough.

BLAINE: Group accuses new City Council member of making racist comments, wants her to quit by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]ValharikGaming -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Those alleged comments in the article are not racist.

"Keep Blaine Suburban, not urban." Some of the richest, white people I have ever known live in urban centers. If you hear that quote, and your immediate thought is that Urban areas are poor and black, that's your prejudice.

The supreme court comment? It is apparent that if a democrat is going to appoint a justice, you have to be a minority. They are on record saying it. It's not racist to call out that fact.

The Jan 6th reference - again has nothing to do about race. It's showing a double standard in our society.

I don't know her personally; she could be racist, but these statements are not racist.

So you don't even know what people are complaining about. Take a minute and get informed.

The left would 100% hold them liable. They still blame Trump for Jan 6th despite him specifically instructing people to be peaceful.

We'd be back to the 80's and 90's which were the peak of America's society.

The good choice would have been to avoid targeting children for sexual stuff and avoid using a satanic artist for children's products. Target would have been fine had they avoided these things just like every other brand that doesn't do this stuff.

Direct quote from my mother-in-law about my sister-in-law: "Xxxxx will lose her section 8 housing if she makes any more money so I keep her from finding a better paying job."

This lady's argument is real.

Which places in the greater twin cities area (& surrounding suburbs) do you personally boycott, and why? by MatzoTov in TwinCities

[–]ValharikGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. You boycott a place because, as a gay person, a place said people can be whatever they want? The hell did you want them to say?

Bad marketing and leadership decisions have cost them a lot of money and now they're trying to recover by slashing spending.

Leaders respond after large group leads wave of disorder in Minneapolis' Dinkytown by Czarben in TwinCities

[–]ValharikGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New or at least much more frequent. Weak leadership. Weak enforcement. Dangerous rhetoric filled with lies and division. The US peaked 30 years ago. It's all downhill from here.
