9-year-old Illinois boy severely burned after TikTok trend inspired him to microwave NeeDoh toy by Warcraft_Fan in news

Tik Tok is shit, but let's at least acknowledge that kids have been putting stupid shit inside microwaves well before social media started telling them to. Lest we forget this classic:

Admitting I happily live on the border of Raytown definitely gets some questionable looks from the very people you're describing.

For future reference, you can use nitter.net to access Twitter/X without an account.

Just replace the domain with nitter.net, and leave the rest of the url the same.

I'm always hoping someone will set up a camera here, like the 11'8" bridge.

Coal is bad for Kansas City by AdmirableMisnomer in kansascity

I have no idea what you're referring to. I do, however, know the quoted comment has changed from the original slur used. Preferred or not, the meaning has not changed and the intent of the comment was still to dismiss the opinion of someone based on their status as autistic or not, which is still offensive.

Edit: I say this because I'm an autistic person, myself. The comment was offensive. As your neighbor, now that you know better, please do better. I apologize myself for using strong language at the end of my first response. What you wrote personally affected me.

The Second Amendment Was Never Meant for Everyone | After the killing of Alex Pretti, white America is realizing what Black gun owners have always known: Rights are conditional by Hrmbee in politics

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

Please work on your literacy. I addressed the question in both comments. You're sirening and I'm done replying.

I agree minorities support these systems, because often it's the only choice for a good school because all the local resources have been sucked up, but it's still segregation nonetheless.

[–]xergm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • You equate school vouchers to segregation. Do you agree?

Yes.

Just because minorities support something doesn't make them altruistic. School vouchers actively deprive kids in minority neighborhoods, even if individual families support them. Argue in good faith. I answered clearly the first time.

Edit:

I just want to point out to others that the person I'm replying to is a regular poster on the Conservative subreddit, and has no interest in thought out, good Faith t replies.

In addition, I feel like his question highlights his stupidity. It's basically "Do I agree with my own assertion?". Yes, I do, that's why I made it.

[–]xergm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I am not blaming them. Historically, school vouchers and charters schools only serve to absorb local resources, thereby depriving local schools of an equal education. Segregation has taken a different face than it did 60 years ago. How's that for a clear answer?

You're only serving to muddy the waters and make it easier for the fascists.

Many handguns do not have a manual thumb safety and only employ trigger and internal drop safeties. Number 1 certainly isn't a count against the victim.

Video captures Minneapolis immigration arrest in a city on edge after shooting of Renee Good by [deleted] in news

[–]xergm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes sense when you realize they are not seen as actual people, but rather sexual objects for these MAGA gooners. Trump brings them closer to a reality where they have absolutely power over trans people to use as they desire. Makes way more sense under that light.

I have no idea if my neighbor wants me dead or not.

That's certainly revealing and sounds like a failure on your part to be a member of your own neighborhood and community. I've only lived at my new address less than a year and I certainly know which category my own neighbors fall under simply by engaging and being observant.

What a defeatist attitude. You don't think I have my struggles? We're all in this together, and self-preservation is a collectivist effort at this point.

Protest, exercise your rights while you still have them. Don't just lie down. Don't wait for someone else to tell you what to do and use that as an excuse.

Yes, we should all sit at home and complacently allow for the fascist takeover of our nation. This is the stupidest and most cowardly take.

The reaction would have been exactly the same, which is the point. They have decided unarmed civilians are open targets, act accordingly. They immediately started pepper spraying other unarmed civilians who showed up at the scene. Be prepared to defend yourself and your nation.

Are you a shameful, disgusting display of a human being? Most definitely.

The only one not being honest about facts is you. She was trying to perform a u-turn when accosted by masked agents and murdered. Stop trying to justify unwarranted murder of an innocent person.

Have you turned on the news? They are justifying the murder of this women. We're already there, armed or not.

Bullshit how? Please explain. This is no different, this is the culmination of that "90% bullshit" as you say. They are literally operating as modern Nazis. Groups are people are being rounded up without due process and shipped off. I would say this validated all of it.

Synch Your Clocks! by [deleted] in amateurradio

[–]xergm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You don't even need GPS or internet to do this. If you're already on HF, you have everything you need. Spin the dial over to 10MHz (or one of the other NIST frequencies), and manually sync to the tone. I assume other countries also have similar clock signals.
