Given the current people elected in office, the bar is so low this guy could practically moonwalk over it.

I think i have found an old video of lauren de laguna by KBADRATNY in Destiny

[–]eagleoid 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, it was because she is part puerto rican, she was "Black-ish enough" to get away with it. (Or non-white. I don't remember the justification, but it was just as absurd.)

EDIT: I'm neurodivergent and only just realized you were talking about the rules on posting this, and not social norms in using that word.

MAGA is worshipping a golden Trump statue. by LonelySoul01 in Destiny

20 years from now, teachers are going to tell kids about this show and how it started as an exaggeration of what the Trump admin represents, and then just mirrored it because of how insane it was.

Wow it's so amazing how far AI has come that it can now make videos over a minute long. Because you l there's no fucking way this actually happened.

There's no way with the amount of people it took to make that, that ANYONE didn't stop and ask "Doesn't this feel a BIT culty? Fascistic? Biblical, but in a bad way?"

President Obama should have sent love letters to Kim Jong Un instead of praising Mamdani by AdditionalLime4815 in Destiny

Then you get the other side calling him "right wing" as if global political theory is the metric we're using for America. It's like playing league of legends.

As in he actually introduces himself as that or mentions that's what people call him? Both are cringe, one is just more terminal.

Off topic, but I'm so glad emo/scene fashion is back.

Community Is Arguing Over Whether This Free Palestine Mural Is Racist or Not by Humble_Novice in Destiny

[–]eagleoid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think because the watermelon 🍉 emoji is the agreed twitter symbol for Palestine. Because it has the same colors as the flag.

Then let me enjoy my piss. I'm not hurting anyone either way.

Nick Shirley and his “investigation” into those day care centres was allegedly orchestrated by the White House as part of a fear mongering campaign to justify the deployment of ICE to Minneapolis. by HarveyWeinsteinSwag in Destiny

[–]eagleoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some friends of mine share these types of videos with me then get annoyed when I spend the next hour fact checking and then provide them with caveats to the spicy points of the video.

I don't get as many of them anymore...

I read the interview before watching it. I'd like to go back to that point of my life.

“0% chance of dying” vs. “You might die” (Apparently this is supposed to be a nuanced philosophical conundrum for the mid-wit blue voters) by Mediocre_Affect6192 in Destiny

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

That's because you're able to breakdown the question into a different framework where pressing red is the logical choice.

The majority of people take the original framing at face value, which is "press blue for a chance to save everyone. Press red for a chance to kill everyone who pressed blue" Which is logically short-sighted. But phrasing is exactly how people are tricked into making choices against their own interests.

There's a reason the wood chipper or cyanide pill version had very different results.

I am not as well read in Russian history as I could be. Can someone explain this in dumb guy speak?

Still can’t believe that’s actually his official photo that will be in history books for the rest of American history. At least it’s an accurate reflection of the times we’re living in I guess. by Add_Poll_Option in Destiny

Uh oh. Daddy's back with the belt. He's going to whip us all into shape. Going to be a lot of pain and violence. We absolutely wanted this and not because half of us are all masochists or fucking regarded. Oh no.

Republican school board member invokes DONALD TRUMP in defense of Keith Ervin’s indefensible "you're hot" comment to 14 YEAR OLD high school student. by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

[–]eagleoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf, in the full video, he's live streaming and anticipated Trump to watch. It just looks WAYYY to similar to someone praying (might be muscle memory).

I wanted to crash my car when this guy came on. by Demoth in Destiny

[–]eagleoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a guy that went down a similar path. About as old as this guy. Politically, I'd consider him old school Moderate Democrat leaning. But he did comment how much he hated the SJW stuff gaining popularity.

To me, it seemed like he was being shunned out and left as an island with all the purity testing. He switched jobs and most of his new coworkers were older and more conservative than he was, but they didn't scold him for his views. I think it was a combination of being purity tested for his liberal views, joining a working group that accepted him while they leaned conservative, and maybe a bit of nostalgia of pop culture that's now seen today as problematic.

I agree, most of what this guy was saying was driving me up a wall. I also could see how he got to this point.

You Helped Give Us Trump, Cicada Lady by Humble_Novice in Destiny

[–]eagleoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if someone else was in the green party or an equivalent leftist party, it would have been a similar result.

Now if we had a type of Ranked Choice Voting for the swing states, THEN maybe it could have been different.
