It’s the same argument as “I will not let MY tax dollars go to some druggie for free health care!” Not realizing that they already are.

News@lemmy.world•Most Americans say country is on the wrong track, blame Trump for inflation, disapprove of the president and say he is going too far to expand power of presidency

First fucking term and even before that. This bit’s old already.
I am absolutely arguing that. The rich in actual mid-to-south New York and elsewhere aren’t actually taxed, why would the rich in Gotham be?
Key word, Should. If taxes actually went where people say it does, it might. And even then, it’d also take a lot of funding outside of just taxes, not to mention someone to actually start doing stuff about with all that funding. Also note on that list is rampant corruption and criminal syndicates mingling with the government.
I just ctrl F’d “Undead Unluck” and didn’t find it so there’s that one. In fact, it even makes sure to establish the importance of healthy relationships! AND that beauty isn’t always in youth!
I have to agree with bleistift2 that you chose a bad example here, at least in regards to the United States and other rampantly car-dependent places. Obviously the wording is ableist, but someone complaining about a real issue such as car-dependency or just generally high-class laziness might not think of that at the time. A better example I think would be
People’s aversion to talking to others is stunningly ridiculous and shouldn’t be enabled.
Not only is this more obviously ignorant of disability, but it also doesn’t pose the question of if they’re arguing against something no-one should be complaining about vs real-world issues caused by corruption and late-stage capitalism. c/fuckcars
Gonna have to agree with the one replying to ya here - you did not explain what you meant at all.
And more lies.
If that’s not what you were saying, then what were you saying?
Also, I like how you say both “I am not saying you are a racist” and “your (subconscious) bigotry” as if those aren’t total contradictions.
They are not. Subconscious bigotry or bias doesn’t necessarily make one a bigot, as contradictory as that may sound. Whether they like to admit or not, everyone reacts differently to people who are noticeably different from them. There is no way to entirely avoid this, only to realize when it happens and not act according to it. Or in other words: “I don’t care if you’re racist! EVERYONE’S racist!”

21·2年前You are the thing this post is making fun of.
Was born close to the 90’s, have a similar freckle much closer to the wrist. Is the late 2010’s mark on the hand instead?
Mememonger is a real term that has been used in serious discussion. Political discussion in the United States, but…still serious discussion.

Memes@lemmy.ml•This situation is so ridiculous, this is the only way I know how to cope.
1·2年前I wasn’t expecting anyone to understand without context(you can just find the context if you’re curious), and I’m not chronically online for being saddened by something horrible happening to someone I, in some way, idolize. Also, this isn’t internet drama, it’s a person being harassed and cyberbullied out of their career.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was one thing your teacher did that you still can't forgive them for?
7·3年前High School Tech Theatre Teacher. Many of the teachers in the theatre department at that school had somewhat of a reputation. This one, I felt at first, might’ve been unearned. She seemed genuinely good at her job, besides the occasional slip-up. During one class period, she explained to the class that she expects us to set up our big giant table and the chairs for it(It was a rather unfinished building specifically for the theatre department with no actual classrooms, so our classroom was actually just a square nook in a hallway.) before class began so we could get through lessons faster. Reasonable request, that’s fine, we were getting rather…nothing done for awhile because of how janky it was to have a classroom setting like that. That’s not necessarily her fault.
One class, though, there were some band students moving their instruments - talking cellos, saxophones, tubas, entire drumsets, and other big and/or fragile instruments and class materials - to the auditorium nextdoor through said classroom which was…just a hallway. Y’know, using the hallway as it’s supposed to be used, rather than as a classroom. We, as people with common sense, didn’t start moving around our heavy class materials likely to cause injuries just to make the path even narrower than it already was. Once class started, teacher RAILED at us for about a minute. She was clearly SEETHING as she ranted about how when she says to do something we do it. One student tried to explain our reasoning for the delay, even saying “There were other students moving heavy stuff through here. Why would we form a big block?” Her response?“Why would you not?” I am not fucking joking, those were her exact words. She then interrupted him before he could respond and told him he was saying he didn’t care what she had to say and he was being disobedient. When he tried again to explain himself she threatened to send him to the principal.
This was not the only thing she did that proved to me she was a power-tripping removed who saw us students as her inferiors, but it was the one thing I just can’t get out of my mind because of just how absurd it was in the moment. The only funny part was that she didn’t even realize she was taking up MORE class time than we took setting up as she raved about such a petty issue because we apparently questioned her authority.

2·3年前that isn’t the teachers fault.
The…the teacher was literally encouraging his punchable behaviour though.
The Roaches. I can simply kill the person. I could claim insurance for the damage caused by the roaches.
macmacfire@lemmy.mlOPtoPathfinder 2e General Discussion@pathfinder.social•Silly noob question, but...like, why aren't revenants undead?
1·3年前Hm. How much of a nerf would it actually be? Not really all that sure, and I suppose if Undead are so much weaker for some reason it would make sense(still silly and weird though, like you said).







Just have to ask…you do realize it’s satire, right?
