  • Also from my interactions on here:

    On one side I have an old catholic bum who is committing genocide (by allowing companies to sell to a man who is committing genocide), and in the other side I have a convicted felon who would absolutely continue the genocide while removing my human rights and wants to turn the country into a dictatorship.

    As a leftist, these two are exactly the same and I'm not voting.

  • We killed god and replaced it with Google.

  • Hush Puppy.

    That's not what you ate, that's what you said when you ate it.

  • "I think my human is broken"

  • Yes, but all Minecraft villagers are also war criminals.

  • All Texans are war criminals

  • I mean I do agree with the points that it would be torture for Trump to have to choose between being the focus of a witch hunt or the pitiful disgraced president who only was saved by the kindness of his opponent. When I heard Biden is "throwing down the gauntlet" to debate Trump again, I let out the biggest groan. If I were him I wouldn't give Trump a platform to look like an equal. I know it feels good to want to beat the living shit out of Trump, but I understand from a political perspective that it might not be the best strategy to win in 2024. I liked it better when Biden was acting senile and not childish.

    After that it's hard not to see the negative consequences of pardoning Trump. There should be a message to other politicians that we are not afraid to send you to jail.

  • They'll figure out another way to get their slaves :/

  • As a Chicagoan, I can't wait for the day we pull that god awful name off that building like a Saddam Hussein statue.

  • Oh yeah I've had that conversation over and over. I'm well aware of the reality of a profession in music, but I also have realized in the 10 years I spent in corporate America that I can't live that life.

    Someone said "don't get a career in the arts until you've exhausted all other options". It was annoying to have to constantly convince my mom that I was deeply unhappy in those roles, but she's come around a bit more especially because I'm actually finding success following my passion.

    It's a rough road for sure, but I've found avoiding unhappiness is not the road to happiness.

  • While I had a lot of things that made me angry at my mom in my early 20s, I realized she did this with me with my music. Sometimes she still would suggest I go into sales and get a big boy job and get down on me for my choices, but I also know on her good days she was super supportive. The last panel is word for word what she would say.

  • Oh absolutely. I remember when rent prices dropped in the deep pandemic- absolutely newsworthy.

  • Oooooh I see the misunderstanding.

    When I said "right wing cancel culture" I meant how the right wing cancels people. So the right cancels people through legal means while the left cancels people through social means.

    What you said is a perfect example of what I mean.

  • When?

  • Am I wrong?

  • What?

  • Exactly. Historically the left cancel culture has been in the private sector, which is protected. A company can fire you for saying racist shit, and you can be shunned by your community as they are individuals exercising their right to shun.

    Right wing cancel culture exists in Congress and local governments, where they pass laws to silence teachers, make it illegal for trans people to exist, and send the national guard to beat up protesters.

    This is an instance where a left wing group may experience the other side of the former.

    Edit:

    It seems I didn't communicate my idea clearly and people think the exact opposite of what I meant. I meant left wing folks tend to cancel people through social means, like when no one wants to see a film with Kevin Spacey, whereas the right wing folks cancel people legally, like how you can't be a communist in office or it's illegal for an atheist to hold office in 7 states.

    My last statement is how students having trouble getting a job is part of a "social canceling".

    I was super confused as to why I was getting down voted since I was trying to agree with what was being said and add to the conversation.
