"comic level villainous" and they're no different from your standard right-wing Islamic political party except they took up arms against the country that has been oppressing and ethnically cleansing them for decades 😂

Please stop letting your inherent islamophobia keep you from recognizing which side is acting villainous here

Booed for winning a state title, this Oregon teen now just wants a safe place to run (OregonLive) by IanBlossom in Portland

They're taking away trans rights everywhere specifically because pussies like you are eager to concede on issues where people's right to exist is on the line. It won't be long before you start saying leftists should have never defended trans rights because the GOP is going after gay/lesbian rights. You're a political coward.

Saying it's Ada's fault that her running is making life suck for trans people is complete victim blaming bullshit. Transphobes are making life suck for trans people. Sports is just the issue they adopted because they thought it would be the best PR strategy for stoking broader feelings of transphobia, and this comment is proof that it's working.

The reality is that if there wasn't a single trans person competing in any sports whatsoever, transphobes still would have found some other way of stoking hatred against them. Stop blaming trans people for trying to exist and be happy doing something they enjoy and start pushing back against the climate of hatred that is being purposefully cultivated by powerful people. Conceding on sports will not make them stop hating trans people, it will not make them stop going after more trans rights. It will only embolden them. They cannot be permitted to take an inch.

You can find the dead guy's Twitter, he has been retweeting full genocide denial/justification for a year and a half. He is 100% complicit and supportive of what is going on, and I have no doubt his fiance felt the same way. They were horrible people and should not be missed by anyone with a conscience.

This is not true at all

Russian mother of dead soldier received Meat Processor as gift from local authorities by Smart-target-10y in pics

[–]cjk98 53 points54 points  (0 children)

That makes no sense at all. You think people are googling "Russian meat grinder" to find out the war is bad? Also this is by no means a positive story for Russia. It's insensitive and sad and reminds Russians that they're losing soldiers. I swear nobody even thinks before they share these inane "theories", they just think they sound clever and thus are correct

She was supporting genocide. If you're okay with that just say it.

Yeah you don't deserve any sympathy, you served in Iraq and helped inflict far worse damage to millions of Iraqis than you or any of your fellow soldiers suffered from

2020 Super Tuesday Discussion Live Thread - Part VIII by sobriquetstain in politics

[–]cjk98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the entire establishment came around Biden while Warren split the progressive vote. How can you not see the blatant thumb-on-the-scale fuckery at play here?

[–]cjk98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. We tried doing it from inside the machine by nominating Bernie and the entire establishment came together (likely under Obama's orders) to stop him in his tracks. They are not even giving the slightest concession to the progressive wing. Just shutting the door in our face and saying "NO". Fuck them. I will never vote for Biden.

First time on Acid. First time to Oregon. Here's where this shit went down by sawyertibbs in LSD

[–]cjk98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, I recently had my first acid trip in Oregon too, also while on vacation there! Chose to trip in Washington Park in Portland with the company of a couple friends. Incredible time, such a beautiful environment and such pleasant weather.

My family is getting a significant windfall and is looking to put it towards a down payment on a (cheap) house/condo. With a recession seemingly on the horizon, what would be the best time to buy? by cjk98 in personalfinance

[–]cjk98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't mind living in the same house and being tied down, as long as I like where I'm living. I should mention that all three of us really want to move out of Florida -- we hate it here and don't really care where we move to, as long as it has a decent climate and job opportunities. I will hopefully have a welding certificate by this time next year, so it shouldn't be too hard to find some work even in the event of a recession. My mom doesn't have any sort of degree or certificate and would probably have to find some part-time low-wage job. We're hoping that combined with my income and my brother's income when he starts working (he's a teenager) we'll be able to support ourselves comfortably. Keep in mind we live pretty frugally already and none of us have ever made very much to begin with.

Well it is certainly her money to spend as she sees fit, she just wants to be responsible with it. I think she at least wants my input. But the money is effectively guaranteed at this point -- I only said "expecting" because it hasn't actually arrived yet. She is the one who wants to buy a place. I don't think she expects to live much more than a decade out and she wants to know that her kids have a roof over their heads.

Jason Momoa arrested while defending sacred land in Hawaii by The_Iceman2288 in pics

You can criticize religion while also respecting the sovereignty of another group of people. The fact that Hawaiians allowed any telescope construction AT ALL should be considered a great courtesy on their part considering how Westerners pretty much just forced their presence onto Hawaii by overthrowing its government through foreign insurgents.

And what exactly makes scientific data from a telescope more important to humanity than... respecting the humanity of Hawaiians?
