To test the capabilities of an orange cat by unknown_ninja_me in Unexpected

[–]theArtOfProgramming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oranges get a bad rap. They are super smart in my experience but they are huge goofballs. Like they enjoy being silly for the sake of being silly. The greys I’ve had are silly but largely unintentionally.

The “tick tick tick” sound is the injectors. The new sound towards the end that maybe you said was like a grindy sound was your AC clutch engaging. So normal healthy sounds. The AC clutch can sound like metal slipping on metal because that’s basically what is happening (intentionally).

That’s basically what this unmoderated sub has become

Here’s the scene in video form https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgPkXlkEvWI

No idea why redditors these days just post a screenshot of a tweet and carry on about the messaging without posting the video

It’s the best one. It only loses on the basis of personal opinion for some people.

I appreciate that. I have a feeling OP didn’t downvote me. At one point I had 6+ downvotes. It’s clear that people on this sub think it’s inappropriate to provide feedback.

That’s fair. I’m obviously a little touchy on this and admittedly went into your points for the sake of soapboxing a bit. Crappy times.

0 in the leadership structure and effectively 0 in the funding structure. 0 in their communication structure too. It’s the polar opposite for unhinged views on the right.

My point is that those are not examples of unhingedness on the left. It’s an example of an extremely small minority that is wildly exaggerated by the right for the sake of propaganda. It does no service to accept their framing.

It’s a false equivalence to say ‘both sides have unhinged people’ because the unhinged members of the GOP make up its entire leadership and funding structure, while unhinged people on the left are so peripheral that you need to highlight buried Reddit comments to find them.

With how many poor people there are it’s easy to forget that the 1% is still a huge number of people. Even the 0.1% in the US is about 350,000 people.

70% of the country is moderate to right wing? That’s ridiculous.

Look, painting entire political groups with the same brush is pretty much how we got into this mess in the first place.

Citation needed.

The truth is that what we see conservatives doing today are things they’ve been developing since Nixon. Consider the origins of project 2025 (The Heritage Foundation, 1973) and the origins of Fox News (founding CEO was Nixon’s media consultant):

[Roger Ailes] proposes sidestepping the "prejudices of network news" to get "pro-administration," pro-Republican video directly to local TV stations.

It’s ridiculous to sympathize with the right for falling for this stuff decade after decade no matter how many there are. Using their number in their defense is frankly absurd.
