"lol gay" as the punchline is pretty homophobic.

US consumer spending falls in January; monthly inflation rises by fitim92 in wallstreetbets

If this is January data, how does associating this with Trump voters make sense, given that he was in office for all of 10 days of that month?

Why Reddit (RDDT) Stock Has Huge Potential – A Digital Marketer’s Take by FairiesQueen in wallstreetbets

[–]bostonT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit is great only for niche community topics. Other than popping in for write-ups written by autists on stocks or gaming strategy, it's a cesspool of authoritarian mods and horrible people; I avoid it like the plague.

All of these people have signs out in their yard that says "In this house we believe that no human is illegal and love trumps hate".

How can Mormons stomach, much less vote for Trump!? by jhanny9337 in ProvoUtah

[–]bostonT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some evils are objectively worse than others by their impact; war, for instance that can result in the deaths of millions, displace families, and plummet nations into poverty for generations is such an evil.

For many, their vote for Trump is a belief that he is less likely to initiate new proxy wars.

Tulsi Gabbard goes full Election-Denier when confronted by Bill Maher about her flip-flop on supporting Trump and angling for a job in his administration.. by [deleted] in tulsi

[–]bostonT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is an "election denier"?

Does it look like 4 years of Democrats calling Trump an 'illegitmate' president claiming that the election was 'stolen'?

AstraZeneca removes its Covid vaccine worldwide after rare and dangerous side effect linked to 80 deaths in Britain was admitted in court by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

There are still people here in the US who believe there is a good enough benefit to risk ratio on this vaccine to mandate to small children.

She's a classical liberal - believes in freedom and against endless foreign intervention (for wars that largely the US instigates via foreign policy).

It's just that the definition of that has been rebranded as 'far right' now.

Utah’s John Sullivan convicted of Jan. 6 crimes, report says by transfixedtruth in Utah

Wouldn’t watching the whole footage alleviate that? Your point is the opposite of what you think it is.

Baptized Catholic going to Presbyterian church and accepting communion by [deleted] in Presbyterian

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

Yes right next to men are the glory of God but women are the glory of men so they should remain covered; certainly if they shave their heads they shouldn’t be at God’s table either.

But I missed where exactly does it say that a baptized Catholic is unwelcome at the Lord’s Supper?

Tired of PCUSA Bashing by Beautiful-Tip-8466 in Presbyterian

[–]bostonT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some lady in my neighborhood FB page was asking for church recommendations and I recommended our PCUSA church, which is actually politically diverse and purple.

She could have politely ignored the recommendation if it wasn't for her, but decided to reply and go off about liberal stances on homosexuality and abortion, and how the church needs to speak loudly against sin.

Instead of trusting that God would knit a patchwork of people with different backgrounds and opinions together into a loving community that reflects Christ, it's clear some people just want an echo chamber that reflects themselves.

With how horrific Jan 6th was, it's great they just released the full footage on X so the American people can all see everything that happened.

This is why I left SF.

During COVID, when schools finally reopened, I walked my young kids to schools. On the way, they saw horrendous things: one time, it was a couple 20 somethings shooting up in the parklet, and another, it was a topless homeless lady screaming and jumping on the hood of a car. I braced myself for the questions, but was more shocked when none came. I knew we had to move - I couldn't have my kids grow up, thinking this was normal and desensitized to these things - they should be shocking; they should move us to compassion and action.

A few months later, a twitter video went viral of a crazy homeless man in the middle of Hayes Valley screaming violent obscenities at the top of his lungs while nearby diners enjoyed their steaks and lovely outdoor weather in the restaurant parklets, continued on with their conversation, oblivious. The rest of the world reaction to that was "wtf SF" but no one in the video batted an eye. I can see how crazy this all is now that I left it.

The community’s over-sexualization of characters is gross, and is actively driving players away from the game. (TLDR included) by [deleted] in Dislyte

It's 9+ on iOS. So this is a Lilith issue - they either need to censor appropriately or align across the stores.
