Calling out bullshit isn’t being uncomfortable with other viewpoints.

Sorry not everyone has unlimited patience for fascist and/or genocide supporters. But thems the breaks when you hold shitty viewpoints.

Be somewhat honest with the kid. Let him know you love chatting with him, but you’re over sensory (or whatever your particular issue is at the time) at the moment and you can’t give him the attention he deserves right now, but you’d love to hear about it later.

Kids are smarter and notice more than you think. Being honest and open about your issues is healthy for both of you, and helps show the kid it’s ok to not be in the mood to talk to someone and a kind/polite way to disengage.

A good one for those invited! But I’ll cut you some slack since you brought tea.

Don’t forget to add brackets along with the parenthesis so you can have a clarifying thought during your clarifying thought

Get out of my house!

Or more likely yet, primed but not painted, and tossed aside like half the hobbies I pick up until the moment I got the jist of what its about.

I feel personally attacked

Mmmmm, boots taste delicious, don’t you think?

Sounds like we must construct additional pylons.

Shit pot, meet turd kettle.

I’m finally not crying after seeing pictures of voids after losing mine a few years ago. Sorry for your loss, it gets better (eventually)

“We’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

Idk, smoke it all at once and the lack of O2 might kill you through the smoke. But that’s not the THCs fault

Since they handle redundancy and backups I think it’s fine staying with them (+ great product)

This. I love self hosting services, but anything that I 100% can’t live without isn’t one of them. Because I don’t have the funds for proper redundancy/high availability, and my backup practices at home are… Not ideal. I’ve had a couple brushes with data loss due to gaps in backups, lack of monitoring for impending hardware failures, and had 2 disks suddenly die together in a raid array, all in over a decade of self hosting.

I have cold backups of most of my critical services, but they’re not nearly regular enough for me to trust my passwords to myself.

And you would have a point if the man was an openly shitty person. For all you knew this was an otherwise respectable dude who still shared nudes of his partner. You can’t always tell shitty dudes ahead of time. Sometimes you can only know them when they are being shitty dudes.

Instead, you don’t have a point, you’re just looking to blame the victim.

How about calling it genocide vs even-more-genocide? Does that make the distinction any clearer between the choices that were available? Whether we like it or not (and I’m 100% in the latter group) ‘no genocide’ was not on the menu

Don’t get me wrong, I’m disgusted by the state of politics in this country, and would not have voted for Kamala had there been any other person on the ballot that had a realistic choice of winning. But the choice was what we had, and we knew the outcome was going to be bad but workable or fucking awful naked fascism. And so many people chose fucking awful naked fascism in the face of not being able to hold up their moral purity, and now make arguments like she would have done all the awful shit that trump was telling us he was going to do.

That’s why I said what I said. And if you actually read the article I linked above instead of taking what the other user cherry picked out, you’ll see that even the staffer who left because of Gaza said we should have voted for her for basically the reason of what we’re seeing happen.

Really fucking rich accusing me of not reading the article when you stopped reading as soon as your opinion was validated.

From the article, since you didn’t bother to read to the end:

The painful reality is that the movement for Palestinian rights has not acquired the political power necessary to stop the genocide that we have all watched unfold over the last year. And ultimately, it is progressive movements - not Harris and the Democrats - who will suffer the most under a second Trump term. We cannot abdicate our power within the Democratic Party, limited as it may be, for the sake of trying to punish the party’s leadership. We must block Trump and the fascist right, while at the same time demanding change from our leaders, continuing to agitate for an arms embargo with every resource we have.

And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you’d bother to read the whole article, you’d see that she’s telling you not to take the path you did.

This is why I said what I said, and chose not to respond to anything else.

Trump took a shit on your face and Gaza suffers more now, with zero hope whatsoever for any pushback from this fascist administration who applauds Israel’s every step

100%

It amazes me how far morons will go to justify tacitly supporting naked fascism for purity politics and their own moral purity in the face of the immoral outcomes of their choices.
