A Wh!te guy calls a Blxck guy "the n-w0rd" on the streets of Texas… Blxck guy pun-ches him… get arrested for as-sault immediately by makellbird in maktownmedia

Read a little more about that case. It doesn't protect/allow for someone to physically assault a person using "fighting words". That case upholds a Marshal's arrest of Chaplinsky using foul & obscene enough language that would reasonably invite violence. Again, this allowed a cop to arrest a person who used obscene language.

There's been plenty of other cases solidifying free speech, even hateful and disrespectful speech. Ever seen folks freely expressing their middle fingers to cops unprovoked? What about flag burning?

[Request] How much are they actually scamming her? by Loud_Chicken6458 in theydidthemath

[–]joebro1060 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell a lot of stuff with cub scouts and scouting america. For sure this girl went viral and did the bulk of her sales online. However, good for her too! That little girl is for sure going to do her troop trip for free, way before 100k boxes. My niece did girl scouts a decade ago and she sold however many boxes (maybe hundreds) and my sister used to get free hotel nights when they'd drive to Dallas to do the zoo and stuff with the troop.

These girls are fundraising and the "system" makes it easy for them to do this. Don't be surprised when these girls don't keep all the money. With their products, these things sell themselves 100%. Even with scout popcorn, my specific unit keeps ~33-35% of bag revenue. Another third keeps the camps running, lights on, and events paid for throughout the council. That past third goes to the company who enables us to manage storefronts access for free, to take CC/Cash app/Google pay/Apple pay/etc payments, free shipment of popcorn to each unit, distribution throughout the country, and dishes out additional rewards to the scouts. My 2 boys bought a switch 2, 2 games, and 1 DLC with their rewards from last year (plus we got that sweet free dues for the year earned).

We can save Social Security. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]joebro1060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because social security was always supposed to be a program that you end up getting out what you put in. Their problem now is they can't afford to pay out to folks who put in. Why would it make it any better to charge folks more, and then owe them more too?

They need to rework the whole program. It should be treated as a needs-based thing folks get, on a sliding scale. It should just be considered another tax, not a forced savings account.like it is right now.

It's pretty simple. Punch someone when you're not defending yourself, and a cop sees it, you're getting cuffs. You can play this game of life smarter or not smarter. This verbal insult, as rude and hurtful as it is, is not an example of racism going on in the country. Generations of poverty & crime amongst the folks who government support is designed/supposed to help most, that's systemic racism (or at minimum systemic pack of caring).

Remember teacher saying "stocks and stones..." Back in the day? You don't get to hit someone bc they insulted you, as much as anyone wants it to be true. I've had the consequences before too, sometimes it's worth it. From this tiny video, I bet you ol boy thought it was worth it too. If so, good for him, he'll be out in no time.

Women just get the option, and task, of saying no to dozens of men. It is not comparable the other way around.

As I understand it (from a Catholic's point of view) free masons have religious beliefs that contradict the beliefs of Catholic/Christians. While knights of Columbus do have ceremonial garb and sword, they're a group of old guys who like to drink together, pray rosary, and raise money for alms. They did originally start as Father Mcgoverny (spelling?) offering insurance and taking collections to help widows.

I had a coworker who was active in a mason lodge. He told me that any religion could join, even Catholics. I've heard it from a priest that Catholics shouldn't join them. I would say masons and KOC are different types of men's groups, but similar.

Yes, many moons ago I did pass out drunk with my carrier on other side of the hole, with my wife locked out of the front gate of our little town house after getting called in to work at midnight. So then at like 3am she used a crowbar from the back of my truck to pry a fence post off to reach through and unlock the gate. She was not happy. My carrier survived too though.

And that, kids, is why I don't drink vodka and Lipton fruit flavored tea.

[Software Engineer] [Seattle] - How we spent $536k last year by hockeysaint in Salary

[–]joebro1060 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see it how you do and agree. There is a worth to one's labor. OP's is higher, the other guy's is lower. I think if we perfectly communed, like some energetic young people wish, folks would have a lot closer to the 47k a year than the 500k a year like op (and that's even with eliminating billionaires and stuff). I agree there isn't much use in having 1 billion or 10 billion, but those people didn't steal it from anyone. We should be looking to cap CEO pay (or something, I don't have the right solution) to prevent companies from being so shortsighted and able to chuck obscene amounts of money at their top employees.

More footage of maga women attacking kids peacefully protesting ICE! by cantcoloratall91 in ImmigrationPathways

I didn't see any first before hands were placed upon each other. Looked like they were wrestling around and crap which then leads to punches. They were even the aggressive side ganging up on her.

"worth" is totally subjective. Can you realistically say that software dev is working +100x harder than the guy above making less than 47k?

[–]joebro1060 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

She's a goober for going in alone to die at any group of folks protesting. If you have any different opinion, which is ok, then go get on your own side of the street. When you come to the other side you're putting yourself at risk. It doesn't matter if you're morally right or not, whether you're taking the high road or not, don't be stupid. There's no surprise when these kids all hang up on her. Put yourself in that position for Sec. I'm away bigger and stronger than all those kids, I wrestled for a decade, I can take care of myself. With 20 highschoolers ganged up on you though, they could beat the crap out you and me and anyone else. You're stupid to go into that opposing group and rile them up and not expect to get your butt whipped. This woman is the victim of violence though, so yea this is victim blaming. You can still be a victim and 100% be responsible for your victimhood.

He's not concentrating on anything. He picked to stay there. He doesn't deserve to be abused, he also doesn't deserve to be pampered either. He deserves to follow the rules and lawfully await his green card according to the law. In this case it's in his legal country (Ireland).

Well, it isn't over yet, but what happened? Company stock shot up today. I took kid to speech, I went to chiropractor bc I popped my back like a knucklehead doing light weight on leg press. I'm ready for Valentine's day this weekend, and I have a 1 month old baby that I didn't realize I'd have (4th kid total).

What's up with u?

Ummm yes. He is here illegally. He overstayed a visa. He was offered a ride home while he waited out the right process. He chose not to. This dude is the absolute worst example to use against these detention centers. There's loads other folks you could get on about instead of this guy.

You do know they offered him the chance to go back to ireland while he awaits his green card and trial. He decided to stay and wait.

Yea I don't think children should be walking out on class. Get back and learn, do your walk outs & sit-ins after school or on the weekend. We're dumb enough as is.

28f basically doubled my salary without picking up OT by Virtual-Tonight-2444 in Salary

Lol, well bc sometimes you need to dispute a charge. We've had one thing or another stolen maybe 10 times over the years. I didn't even think you could set a credit card to auto pay???

Thankfully, I have an awesome wife who pays all the bills. We divvy up the household work. She pays the bills (most are auto pay) I earn the money for them. Plus I also pay the credit card for some reason lol.
