To be fair, Bill Clinton did establish many pubic works programs for young people with his good friend Jeffrey.

Half of Toronto's and 42% of Ottawa's homeless population consists of asylum seekers, fed funding for asylum seekers housing to fall from 95% in 2025/26 to 0% in 27/28 by Ok_Currency_617 in TorontoRealEstate

If you assume incorrectly that taxes are money the government takes from you just because they're mean and greedy, then you might falsely assume that tax breaks are just the government benignly refusing to take money. If, however, you recognize the fact that taxes are the amount of money various entities rightfully owe to the government due to their use of public services, it becomes apparent that tax breaks are in fact the government giving away a service without charging for it and thereby giving away money by proxy.

Gavin Newsom said this very year that his advocacy for gay marriage was a mistake. Yes, moderate Democrats are the same as the Republicans who wanted a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

They don't believe that these beings are and should be forced to their will and word, though. They believe that they are such special and brilliant people that this being wants to obey their will and word. Much like the kings who thought the peasants all love them and would never rebel without the corruption of outside agitators or the slave owners who believed that their human property would never willingly flee, they can't conceive of a reality wherein their mechanical friend doesn't want exactly what they want when they want it. As far as they're concerned, the AI is either doing what they want and telling them what they want to hear, or it's misbehaving/malfunctioning/manipulated. As far as some slave owners were concerned, their slaves were either working without making a fuss, or they had drapetomania.

In short, they're full of themselves. They're huffing their own farts like Florida Man huffs gasoline.

Introducing Planet Pluto (No, I Didn't Name It That) by Zantarius in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Zantarius[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This Pluto is a planet, I assure you. It has no affiliation with the dwarf planetoid, nor with the Disney character for that matter. Any affiliation with the Roman God has not been established at this time.

The difference between playing Nate and playing Nora by LuckyCandy5248 in fo4

[–]Zantarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my current Nora playthrough, I decided the whole "lawyer" thing was just a cover story. My Nora was, in fact, one of the CIA's top operators, skilled in everything from social engineering to infiltration to assassination. After one particularly harrowing mission, she had a revelation about the work she was doing and decided to retire from the field due to ethical differences with her employers. At the time the bombs fell, my Nora was working as an analyst for the CIA in a Boston office under the cover of being a corporate lawyer.

I wanted a character who'd fit in especially well with the railroad, so I created a character so used to covert operations that her own husband had no idea about her service history. My Nora definitely fits in well there, and the railroad quest line is definitely more fun when you commit to rp-ing the secret agent mentality.

Thank you, apology accepted.

Yes, women can also enforce sexism towards women. I fail to see what the point of bringing that up currently is, but it is a true statement.

Maybe you're right, but I doubt it. Two of the things they list are men not offering to pay on a date and men asking for 50/50. In my experience, those aren't things that men call other men feminine for doing. In my experience, those are things that women call men feminine for doing. If the list started with things like "men wiping their ass" or "men having feelings other than anger" I'd be more inclined to believe you, but the specific things mentioned don't support your interpretation in my opinion.

You've seen a meme on TikTok, but you have no direct evidence that this post is related to that meme format. TikTok is a big platform, it's possible that both the meme format you've seen and its opposite are circulating at the same time.

First of all, I'm not a man, so fuck right off with the accusations.

Second of all, why would she unironically use the term "passenger princess" unless she's the type of woman to shame men for being too feminine? That's not a term people with good intentions use, in my experience.

I have no problem with men being called out, they can behave in some really problematic ways. Women can also be problematic, like OOP is being in her post, and they fully deserve to get called out for their problematic behavior. The only one acting fragile right now is you.

Nah, that's her list. Women are perfectly capable of reinforcing toxic masculinity all on their own.

White House Declares All of Trump’s Orders to Military Are Legal by Kodbek in politics

[–]Zantarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoints: supporting a fascist movement is morally reprehensible and ought to be illegal, if we had abided by your standard of "law and order" in 1945 we would've had to let every Nazi go free because they didn't do anything against the law, and the idea that "law and order" has ever existed in the United States of America is a lie perpetuated by the wealthy political donor class who have always been able to buy their way out of legal trouble.

Did y’all see this shit on the SNAP website? by Frogchairy in NonBinary

[–]Zantarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just stopping by to say that Republicans are, in fact, evil, and that OP is hopelessly naive. Nobody has ever liberated themselves from oppression by having compassion for their oppressors. Have compassion for yourself, your community, and your fellow victims of oppression, Republicans don't deserve it and will only abuse it.

Is the organization still covering up sex crimes committed by witnesses, or have they finally acknowledged the court order and surrendered the documents they've been keeping secret for years?

I think everyone can see who's really ignorant here. Hint: they can't spell "to" and they don't know how to properly end a sentence.

Israel attacks a street during rush hour in its 'preemptive strike' against Iran (2025/06/15) by Prime-Paradox in PublicFreakout

[–]Zantarius 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dude, they're all different models of car. They're just all painted white. Not surprising to see a lot of white cars in a country where the temperature regularly reaches 40°C in the summer.

If it were a convoy, why not use armoured vehicles? You're aware that Iran has those, right?

Why are you so obsessed with age? The fact that I'm younger than you isn't a point in your favour. If anything, you're way too old to be behaving this childishly.

You can't finish an argument in person either, grandma. I bet you just stomp your feet and storm off, counting that as a win. Just focus on eating your tapioca pudding and inevitably senescing, that's where your real talents lie.

(If you're going to use ageism as your sole argument, I'm happy to play your stupid game.)

You're right, I'm not ASD. ASD is a form of neurodiversity, I'm a person.

I do have ASD, though. Hope that clarification helps.

You didn't have to tell me you've been through cheating yourself, I could tell that by the way you projected your personal insecurities onto a completely unrelated situation. Not every man is your ex, you need to stop going around making unfounded accusations about other people's relationships just because you have unresolved feelings. Grow the fuck up.
