@alcade 1. we have strict policies against sexual and racial harassment 2. we accept members from all backgrounds, without discrimination 3. we have an 'affinity group' system allowing members of marginalized groups to segregate themselves by race, sex, history, and perversion (you gotta word this part REALLY nicely, because on their face these programs are comically racist) just establish all that stuff as you answer the questions. It won't change your organization any but you're just not going to get any money if someone can't join and start a Pedophile Club that meets on Sundays.
@fatepony somehow people made it through the Trump years of every single week in the year having its own dedicated micro-scandal that didn't survive the week, and their conclusion was that Trump was the problem, rather than journalists were evil.
@lain 1. a 'trappist' is a connoisseur of boys in girls' clothing; La Trappe is French for 'crossdresser'. 'Quadrupel' is French for "a foursome" 2. actually the language on this bottle is TURKISH, you uneducated philistine, and both words refer to Turkish rap musicians. 'Quadrupel' is a famous Turkish rapper. 3. actually this is an /r/TheDonald production: 'La' just being reddit for 'the', the trap being the one that Q is setting for the deep state. 'Quadrupel' is how many terms Trump is getting
@Blouie@Xeraser an RPG that punishes Paladins for trying to prevent a tiefling from murdering people? yes of course I'll buy more cosmetics in Mahjong Soul. Yes I only support the kind of games I want to see!
@Shadowman311 they think if they have enough "information control" that they can win the war in Ukraine. Composition of forces, military production, military tactics? No: censorship on twitter is what decides the outcome of wars.
@ChristiJunior@luithe the dinner scene got some titillation out of the mom wanting to screw her future son. Otherwise, nothing jumps out. Maybe it was a little condescending towards rural people, with the alien and farm themes, but that's hard to justify after the dad is tricked into thinking that rock music = alien torture sounds.
@Terry but you're not vaccinated so you don't care because you have a robust immunity to covid now? but you're not vaccinated so he thinks it's your fault even though you have a robust immunity and he doesn't? but you're vaccinated so you're worried now because your immune system was mistrained on a spike protein not seen in over three years? >quadruple vaccinated are you sure he hasn't snuck some more in?
@11112011@Terry it was a fediverse joke? ok. In the meantime I finally looked at this new fearporn and > A fast-spreading new subvariant of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 — nicknamed “Eris” by health watchers but formally known as EG.5 — recently became the most prevalent strain in the country, according to recent official estimates, though it does not appear to cause significant illness or pose immediate danger. >fast-spreading >not cause significant illness so the "more infectious+less dangerous" pattern is still in play. They're saying "COVID IS EVEN LESS SCARY NOW" in a scary tone of voice, and hoping people get scared again by it.

of nothing>European companies suffer 100bn euro hit from withdrawing from the Russian market there are now more people saying that the sanctionists are retards, but the reason is usually that this is only the sanctionists were wrong about the exact state of the Russian economy. Their lesson is "sanctions might be a good idea in general, but not against Russia"
This is a bad lesson. Sanctions are retarded in general. It is not that there are some rare cases where they shouldn't be used, but the reverse: you have to tell a high fantasy story in order to establish a case where they should be used. 1. trade is mutually beneficial. You have something. Another guy has something else. Both of you prefer the other thing to what you have at the start. Post-trade, you both have your preferred thing. You are both better off. 2. but what if the other guy uses his gains from trade with you to war against you? You also have gains from that trade, so you can also use those gains. Cutting off trade makes you worse off, and you still have war. 3. but what if it's an island nation and I'm their sole trading partner and I'm selling them ammo and they gain much more from trade than I do and and and -- this is a "high fantasy story". 4. but surely sanctions are good to prevent a military buildup! -- yeah, super good, just look at how it prevented WWII from ever happening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ersatz_good
@flux_the_cat@Shadowman311 which is why appeals to personal safety aren't that persuasive. Not only for your point, but for people who still have some faith in the US government.
Turn it around: when people fedpost, the government has a metric that they can track to show how angry the public is, and they have an ample pool of victims to make examples of whenever they want. Fedposting helps the enemy. When people stop fedposting, the result won't be that FBI agents sleep more peacefully. The result will be that they'll know they don't have the vision and the resources that they used to have. They'll become like black people after all the slurs were banned: not content that they were accepted, but now paranoid that everyone is secretly hateful towards them. There's a threat but it's invisible. They can't say they've reduced anti-government extremism because they can't track it. They can't look at a Google Maps danger heatmap and advise politicians to switch venue because there's no information for it. The really fuck with the FBI, deny their recon platforms.
@flux_the_cat@Shadowman311 it's about whether you love the FBI so much that you want to make things easier for them. Not "can they do it", but "how hard is for them to do it". At least make your enemies put in the work if they're going to destroy you.
@Humpleupagus@caekislove@Kang_Kong3@Shadowman311 you're not going to defend the guy because of his explicit threats I'm not going to defend the guy because he said Putin was Biden's communist twin. We are not the same.
@deprecated_ii@professionalbigot69@William_The_Dragonborn@Shadowman311 a. fedpost b. hunker down in fear c. (new!) break the consensus that they want without fedposting if (b) is their goal then the illusion of consensus is the goal, because that's what keeps people in line, and the fun thing about the illusion of consensus is that *any* violation weakens it enormously. If you hear a hundred people say that Biden is a genius and only one person say that he's obviously demented, the illusion's broken and you're no longer nearly as likely to shrug and agree that he must be a genius. So just keep saying that everything's shit without talking about your grassy-knol plans. WRONG: I should kill that guy who deliberately ran over white children to avenge the black people he thinks Kyle killed. RIGHT: The government should kill that guy who deliberately ran over white children to avenge the black people he thinks Kyle killed. There outta be a law. The media should get the chair too.
Maybe there's a underhanded reason that "There outta be a law" is supposed to be cringe. Maybe it was the safe boomer alternative to fedposting. The guy's dead either way, yeah?
@hn50 >ctrl-f christ >nobody mentioning how this is the left-desired norm for Christian holidays, that Google always skips Easter, and how stigmatizing Christian holidays is obviously going to result in the non-corrupt avoiding all other holidays, as the non-corrupt don't understand that consistency isn't the point
@PraxisOfEvil my theory is that these are just normal women and what people are really experiencing is confusion induced by everyone in the media being so ugly
@Wyatt smirking health officials: we *had* to lie to people about how catching some phlegm would stop a disease spread by aerosols, even thought it clearly never had any affect on the spread of the disease. It was for public health! We just care about your health! divorced unhappy couple: *die years earlier than they otherwise would* smirking health officials: here's how much money the US economy saves when life expectancy is lower!
@lain to be precise, you have a +n% Hitler Youth effect from your hair. But your appearance is more than your hair. Although gaming instincts may suggest that you focus your build on Hitler Youth, another inspiration you can draw from is modern medicine, where you'll be given a drug for your primary symptoms and then other drugs to deal with the side effects of the first drug. Taking some blood_pressure++? Then take blood_pressure-- with it. Applying this non-gaming principle to your appearance, you can a. stack -n% Hitler Youth effecting clothing, such as Jewish symbols or Communist symbols b. stack +n% Something Else effecting clothing, so people stop registering you as Hitler Youth. For example, if you wear a Bud Lite t-shirt, people will just think you're gay and will not notice that you're a Nazi.
If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.Deo VindiceKeep your safety in mind and don't make loud statements for which you might go to the places not-so-far-from-here, because there you will help no one.
