An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It's 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don't expect everyone to everything for you.

  • Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth

  • You didn't bother to read either link , remain ignorant

    That’s rich considering that you clearly didn’t read your own first link. If you had you would’ve known it didn’t include fried chicken before it was pointed out by another user. But hey, let's keep pretending you're not just making a poor effort to dismiss and downplay blatant racism - and you definitely weren't just including a random link and betting on people being too lazy to actually read it.

    Every year some dipshit racists at a company somewhere in the US decide to serve fried chicken and watermelon on Juneteenth because they think they're super clever and subtle and the moment the backlash hits the news there are thousands of people like you waiting in the wings to gaslight comment sections across social media.

  • but knowing how a southern white clown thinks

    The weird thing is a huge percentage of people living in Charlotte aren't even from the south. There are a lot of corporations headquartered in Charlotte, which has led to a huge influx of transplants over the last two decades. Hell, It's got a large enough Western NY population that there are Sabres/Bills bars and I could get regional products like white hots at the grocery store.

    Source: I was one of them until two months ago when I relocated again.

  • Look, I understand, but that’s a damn good meal.

    Have you ever seen fried chicken before? Because this is shit:

  • That sucks. I worked with a few when I was younger and knew a couple others in high school too, and my experience was the opposite. They weren't exactly Rhodes scholars lol, but they were open-minded, kind, and dependable colleagues. Juggalos have a reputation for being trashy, and it's something they proudly embrace, but I've found them to be generally harmless. Unfortuantely, I think just about every fan base these days has to deal with its share of racist Trump supporters who steal scrap metal from construction sites for meth money...

  • OpenAI, meanwhile, accused Musk of essentially being jealous that he was no longer involved in the startup, after he left OpenAI in 2018 following an unsuccessful bid to convince his fellow co-founders to let Tesla acquire it.

    So a spoiled brat had a massive hissy fit after not getting his way? Yeah, that sounds like Elon alright.

  • ‘Racial resentment’ a factor in violence of 6 January 2021, study says

    Jump

  • Can’t say I find this surprising but it’s still a valuable finding. Research like this is important if we’re going to make sure history never forgets exactly what the average Trump supporter believed and why they betrayed the country on 1/6.

    The little boy and his mother were both stabbed around 3 p.m.

    Ellis and the victims didn't know each other, police said.

    Jesus fucking Christ... My heart breaks for that little boy and his mother. That's just... unimaginably horrific.
