Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).
If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.
I mean yeah, she saved kids’ lives and now she’s dead. She probably had a meaningful impact on a lot of people, and saying who she is and how she was important in the community helps us feel the full impact of her death.
If this was made law, the boomers would get public transit funded so fast.
I would argue the first isn’t active voice
“died when the driver of a car hit her” seems passive to me. It’s more accurate, but still passive.
But it’s freely and easily available to download, why would it be on piracy sites?
Rent is definitely proportionally higher though, and that’s much more of the monthly budget.
Kicks in the door, guns blazing … official presidential business 😎
You relax, they were just making a point too. You did use your anecdote in a way that implied a broad sweeping point. Calm down.
Many teenagers are though, it’s not rare. I was in JSA in high school and went to conventions full of political teenagers.
And honestly, the average teen/young adult is likely more politically engaged than the average adult. I find older adults give up as they get drained of lifeblood by capitalism. Not to mention, the most exciting political discussions tend to happen on whatever popular app hasn’t been corporate-washed to death yet.
Suicide by cop.
So you’re kind of just imposing your opinion about the “life or death” situation thing. I see tons of posts advocating trans-medicalist views, that I would consider a life or death situation… but the comments removed are the ones using appropriately harsh language to call them out.
And yes, esp w the recent news that the shooter was a conservative. It makes sense to speculate.
Never seen the show, but isn’t this an instance where cross-dressing is seen as a gag and not necessarily an acceptable and normal thing to do?
So there is no available form of public accountability for comments? I have had mixed experiences in the past with DM-ing mods and I do not trust private communications.
Removed by mod
Also, I am not really seeing a personal insult? Criticism of personal dissonance, yeah, but is that an insult?
How does one link a specific blocked comment in the mod log? I don’t see any way to do this?
PugJesus is like the Ur-Liberal (derogatory)
We are not restricting discussion (those are your words) because this is a life and death situation.
we are removing purely speculative and baseless assertions of fact, because this is a life and death situation.
So one, like I said, it’s not really a life and death situation. And secondly, in the immediate aftermath of an event, practically everything is speculation.
“you’re just not paying attention because you’re not a trans ally”
yeah so basically anyone paying attention to trans issues knows about JKR. I don’t think I said all harry potter fans are transphobic, so that was a fun little thing for you to make up I guess, but I would say that fans of Harry Potter who don’t know the controversy are not trans allies. She is the anti-trans celebrity. Her letter was huge news.
Harry Potter fans have likely at least seen one or two hate comments about the video game or something. Stop bring so disingenuous… most people are online regularly … particularly the generation of Harry Potter fans. You don’t need to be terminally online to have heard about the wealthiest author in the world turning into the most prominent anti-trans advocate.
