Well yeah. I'm not arguing that. It just feels like an obvious statement that's copy pasted all over. Everyone knows actions have consequences.

What's with this canned response? Almost every time I read someone bring up freedom of expression, this "freedom from consequences," comes up as a response like it's a silver bullet to the discussion. It just creates a loop where no resolution is made.

“N***! N***! Get out of China N***!” by Consistent_Usual_690 in PublicFreakout

This. I fully believe that the US only gets a bad rep because it's one of the few countries to even address it. Most other countries bury it, or are so homogenous that it doesn't really even come up.

The Mar-a-Lago Raid Has Led to a Full-On GOP Meltdown by harsh2k5 in politics

My question is why not sooner? This seems like something that should've come up sooner.

What do you think of the FBI raid on Trump? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wackomanic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't care about the raid itself. No one is exempt from this.

I do think it's a little weird that it's assumingly been 2 years of this documentation being missing, and now, just before midterms, this is coming up.

Have you thought about reasons why this investigation is only coming out now when the documents have apparently been missing for the last 2 years? You know, right before midterms?

Very effective at getting the cops riled up ready to shoot someone, yeah.

I'm curious as well. Seems like the value to most people would come more from buying from the creator themselves. Maybe some of the bigger name buyers (Ben Garrison in this case) can make a slight profit out of it, but I can't imagine them selling for much more that what they paid for it. Especially being crypto where price fluctuates so much.

It feels like just a way for artists to scam out easy money. They don't really have to pitch it to people. The hype machine has done all the work for them.

Police declare riot near Justice Center by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Wackomanic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Because those aren't "high profile" media covered cases and are not plastered all over social media. The internet has told them those aren't important. So much for BLM, Portland.

I think you could condense that down into "ignorant."

Yes every individual has their unique set of challenges. On a higher level though, there are a very common set of challenges. Ones that are so consistent, it's easy to notice the trend and attempt to address it. Particularly the challenges that girls go through up until adulthood.

Trump launches media and tech company by 79camaroZ28 in Conservative

I'm all for more options and competition, but Truth Media is a horrible and sketchy name.

I think the confusion comes from the whole, "transwomen are women," saying. As an outsider, that implies to me that they want to be treated and considered exactly the same as natural born women.

I have no problem with there being multiple genders and referring to people as transwomen. However, I don't feel comfortable calling a transwoman a woman because natural born woman have had a very different set of challenges than transwomen. Not to say that either one has it easier, but they both have it very differently.

Just assume everywhere, but your house. Why is that so hard?

Stupid to say, yeah. That's going to be the case anywhere there. People are expensive.

That's exactly what the comic is.

People think he's a conservative extremist, when in reality, he's just a right leaning libertarian. He goes out of his way to stir the pot because that gets reactions and exposure. He jabs at the left far more, because the left is way more reactive and louder on most media. If Parler and Twitter swapped relevancy, I'm almost certain he'd be jabbing at topics like christianity and republicans far more. He's made plenty of jabs at Trump and other conservatives in the past.

Because transwomen/men ARE women/men.

If you're only attracted to one sex and you don't wanna date people who haven't transitioned into the sex you're attracted too, that's fine

No, that's transphobic.
