The only ass showing seems to be coming from you. But I expect you won’t understand that at all.

Peace out dog. ✌️

The question was answered. You just asked a narrow-scoped yes or no question (with the expectation that people would read your mind and somehow know you wanted to know “why” as well). That is your fault, not theirs.

You asked a question about a belief and got an answer about somebody’s belief. And what did you do? You felt the need to swat down that answer because what? You think it wasn’t good enough? That’s garbage man.

But there are the De…

~Oooh. I see what you did there.~

Look, yes. She’s a piece of shit. But she’s not wrong here. And honestly, we need people (even batshit crazy racists) calling out the stupid shit Trump and co are doing.

Do not conflate agreement with acceptance. We need all the help we can get right now. Worry about washing your hands later. Too many good people are dying to stay on that high horse.

Please stop acting high and mighty for shit you know nothing about. The military is not some at-will job you can just up and quit. It doesn’t work that way.

Please don’t be so ignorant. It’s never that black and white. And if you are dishonorably discharged, nothing they say will make that stigma go away.

High horses don’t matter when the bill collectors and repo men come knocking.

People joining today, maybe. But there are people who joined before this stupid shit went down. And they probably joined as a last resort because they felt they had no other choice. That happens. Not everyone is blessed with options.

Dishonorable discharge and/or military prison is pretty impossible to come back from in a socioeconomic sense. These people have entire families relying in them. It’s either follow orders, or ruin their family. And if you can sit there and wave that off, you lived a charmed life in comparison.

At that point what you’re arguing is just a denial of service (DoS). These things have been figured out for decades. There is no need to defend poor journalism.

Since when did we start calling it direct denial of service? Hasn’t it always been distributed denial of service?

I hope so, and I hope these people and families get the reparations they deserve.

A judge. Someone who is meant to uphold law and the constitution, has a problem separating her religion from the state.

The sad thing is, this is not a new problem. Worse: she might get her way.

🤷‍♂️

It’s not about changing the Republican vote. They’re worried that Democrats will start coming out and voting in off-cycle elections (e.g. midterms), which is not something a lot of Democrats do regularly.

If Democrats voted as often as Republicans, we’d have a whole different political landscape right now. That’s why they’re worried.

“Freedom of speech” is bullshit. She got to say what she wanted, and now she gets to get the grade she deserves.

This was the biggest failing of (at least) my generation (gen-x): we were only taught that we had a freedom of speech, but never taught that there still could be consequences.

The professor has the right to express their side, and unfortunately will probably suffer the consequences, thud negating the bad grade. This will only serve to embolden said psychology student to keep doing what they did, and other professors will allow it to happen, lest they suffer the same consequences themselves.

I used to say that the system is broken, but now I realize it’s merely working as intended.

Oh you sweet summer child.

Even when Trump dies, there is somebody much worse waiting in the wings. 2028 is not going to be a salvation.

Who had Justice by Sheer Stupidity on their Bingo card for 2025?

1. Lack of quality education
2. The erosion of morality
3. Reaganomics
4. Religion
5. Citizens United
6. Late stage capitalism
7. Tea Party/Modern GOP/Project 2025

This is huge.

I understand everyone’s hesitation, but this is still huge.

My fingers are crossed that she means it.

I still sometimes face the shelves because I’ve been there and I want to show solidarity.
