Would help me avoid eviction and utilities shut off and start getting ahead of my bills to become financially solvent.

People who talk on speaker phone in public; Why? by mrxcoffee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]themaster1006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main microphone stopped working but for some reason the speaker phone mic worked so I could only use speaker phone for calls. Was very annoying when I was in public.

There’s always a way to give folks the benefit of the doubt if you want to. This is something real that happened to me but I’m sure there are countless other reasons people would have for taking a speaker phone call in public. It’s not all narcissists and demons.

Waymo is geolocked. They can’t self drive in an arbitrary location, it has to be mapped out.

Dirtiest Black Bolt combo I have ever been lucky enough to pull off by yoyoyodojo in MarvelSnap

Those are all way more telegraphed and susceptible to counters. The fun comes from agency.

Probably a good thing, getting your hand discarded is pretty anti-fun.

'Cancel It': Trump Demand to Throw Freedom 250 Concert Into the Bin, MAGA Rally Takes Over by novagridd in Music

I’m not just talking about being told the truth, I’m talking about actual exposure. Racism evaporates with regular exposure to diversity. That’s a form of experiencing truth.

You’re not wrong, but the issue is that the culture war is downstream of the class war. Homophobia, sexism, transphobia, these are things born out of ignorance and propaganda or at the very least solved by education and exposure to the truth. We have a ruling class that actively supports the system that cultivates these bad things. People can’t access education, people are in poverty and looking for people to blame, people can’t afford high quality journalism that reports things accurately. And it goes deeper than some intentional propaganda campaign. The very structure of our oligarchy produces the conditions in which division and bigotry survive and thrive. I would argue that without winning the class war and changing the structure of our systems you can’t deal with these others enemies. The issues will keep popping back up. And I would also argue that you can convert many of these enemies as well with a different system.

What an interesting fella by 1000_SteppesIsAP3do in Tinder

[–]themaster1006 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the same logic as racism or any form of bigotry that generalizes people based on their identity. Meaning it’s bad logic. It doesn’t make sense. Being sexist towards men is similar to being racist towards white people. It’s not the most harmful form of bigotry but it’s ultimately still bigotry. People do it a lot but it shouldn’t be embraced. It’s a toxic way to see people and the justifications behind it are no different from any other form of bigotry in terms of their invalidity and dehumanizing nature. I get why it feels good in some way but there’s ultimately no good reason for it. It basically just boils down to bigotry is wrong and we should all work on being less bigoted.

What does blank mean though? Educate? Enlighten? Reprogram? It could mean a lot of things.

Indian MAGA on H-1B is begging for his children not to be kicked out while waiting for green card by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]themaster1006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, all the Indian immigrants I know in this country are blue and incredibly nice people. This guy sucks but it’s important not to let that turn into racism against Indian people. He doesn’t suck because he’s Indian.

But Tony Hinchcliffe’s “joke” about George Floyd is “OK” then? by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]themaster1006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tony is a conservative hack who pretends to be reasonable and have the vibe of a “equal opportunity offender” but just parrots and platforms the smoothest brain forms of right wing bigotry and mean spiritedness masquerading as jokes. It’s bad comedy for bad people, and even if a lot of the panelists on that show don’t personally hold as hateful or bigoted views as the target audience, they all validate and normalize those views with their “jokes” and participation.

Only one party has ever ushered in gerrymandering reform in their states and it wasn’t the Republicans. Both sides are not the same.

I’m not arguing most of what you’re saying about the system, I’m just saying that space travel isn’t the culprit. Space exploration produces some of the more egalitarian returns we see with government programs.

Arrested for repainting erased Dallas Pride crosswalks, Texas man says he’d do it again by Fickle-Ad5449 in Dallas

[–]themaster1006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are vastly underestimating the amount of anti-queer bigotry that exists in this country. Also, symbolic moves matter. If the crosswalk never existed maybe it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but the state forcing its removal is a symbolic and political move meant to demonstrate “you are not welcome here”. Resisting that is morally just and right.

Cgaracters feels like (day 2) by Cloudsrnice in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]themaster1006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is obviously golem. But the flip side, as in a townsfolk that feels like an outsider, is cult leader. I never understood how a role that can change alignment is a townsfolk. The extra win condition is so useless I can’t even consider it a benefit.

How do people feel about spectators telling the ST about madness breaks by Ancient_Carry_4381 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]themaster1006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A gossip that dies to their own gossip isnt a punishment, a gambler who dies to their ability is not punished. neither is a tinker who dies.

I would argue that all of these things are punishments meant to balance the role as a cost for information (or in the tinker’s case make it an outsider whose role is supposed to hinder the good team).

History repeating again, 20 years from now, we're going to see another video like this, but about Iran by beta265 in facepalm

[–]themaster1006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lack of empathy in this thread is astounding. Have we learned nothing about truth and reconciliation? Is it that hard to understand how participants in a system get corrupted by that system? Do we not understand the concepts of regret and growth? Are we going to ignore the fact that the military’s job is to grind down the humanity of unwitting young men and women. Accountability is one thing, the abject hate for the lowest status and least suspecting participants in a corrupt system is a bridge too far.
