That’s a tactic I’ve seen widely used, especially by the assholes we are talking about.

Words have meaning to us, and fascists love that because they are not beholden to any truth at all.

Ah, then I guess I don’t know how to interpret that.

Maps cannot answer that question.

Genealogy could, but has its downsides.

Whatever happened, it’s more valuable now.

I rented this just to make my friends watch it, and they loved the ending.

But it definitely isn’t a good movie.

A terrible publication and source.

Love a vague headline that tells me nothing about how to think.

Edit: I meant but about how to think, oh well.

I would definitely try that game.

Fascists always eat each other.

The paradox of tolerance.

You cannot tolerate those who will not tolerate others. Those acting in bad faith will always work to tear down.

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren’t as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There’s a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There’s also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

Fiscal responsibility always means “They’re not doing what I want.”

My Dad is a Buddhist, so I have some knowledge and respect for that philosophy/faith.

But yes, he was a hippy too.

And I think he would agree that this question is poorly formed at least. But then I’ve never heard my Dad talk about chakras either.

There is a !Buddhism@lemmy.world community.

Probably a lottery where the winner was predetermined.

I’m 50 and fairly set in my ways.

My wife and I took in a trans person in need almost a year ago.

I’d never known a trans person before, not personally. It took me maybe two weeks to get used to pronouns. Now it’s second nature.

You’re nothing but a fucking bigot if you can’t try to change just a little bit to make others comfortable.

To keep making this an issue just makes it even clearer. You aren’t interested in being inclusive. You refuse to try. Fuck off and retire, Carville.

Yes, people say antisocial when they mean asocial. The asocial people are those who avoid being around others and/or get exhausted easily in social situations.

Two of our four cats often show up in the bathroom when we are showering so we can wet them down with our hands when we get out.

They get all excited for a quick bath from mommy or daddy.

I’ve never seen Gowron in an episode that I can recall (I’m getting old and never had a great memory), but when he showed up in that 70s hairstyles image, I absolutely lost it.

It’s a series of references to a show, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I can imagine how it’s complete gibberish without knowing the context.

Dennis has a dating system where he rates women called D.E.N.N.I.S, and in a separate episode implies that he likes taking women out on his boat, saying they’ll put out “because of the implication.” (It’s a dark sitcom, and they’re all broken people failing through life. Some think Dennis really is a serial killer but that implies he has follow through.)

Also, D’awwww means “that’s really cute.”
