What, you came to Lemmy expecting church services?

Think that would fall pretty solidly under sexism - women are just property according to The Good Book.

I’m totally with you on that. Most of the daily headlines are just distractions from the child-raping dictator that should be front and center. And by all means I hate the bastard as much as the next sane person. If he were on fire, the only liquid I’d pour on him would be an accelerant. I also think it’s possible that in the midst of all this bullshit, occasionally stuff will happen that’s still just part of the everyday red-tape of working for the government. The best I can tell from this article is that the committee made it a point to state they don’t think AOC acted maliciously here - just some staffer’s fuck-up - and AOC doesn’t appear to even be disputing it.

So, in this particular instance, just kinda seems like “Trump rapes children” was OP’s attempt at a redirect when someone asked if they even read the article that they’re sharing - a question which they never did answer; given the reading habits of most people I’ve interacted with on Lemmy, it’s certainly not an unfair question to ask.

“Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”

What exactly does that have to do with the subject at hand?

Fuck me for pointing out the obvious total non-sequitur. Hive mind in action. We get a fresh influx of Redditors or something?

Oh, wow. I’m so shocked I could power a dim bulb for about two seconds.

This is why I just refer to them as a death cult.

I run uBlock Origin for the browsers, and Pi-Hole for the network. Plus a wireguard VPN server that my phone connects to when I’m not on the home wifi for ad-blocking on the go.

These multiple rounds of interviews to get a job are fucking ridiculous. They chose the pope in two fucking days, you do not need a week’s worth of interviews to know if I’m worth giving a paycheck.

A lot of hotels will require a card to put on file at check-in. The paper you get after your stay is typically an invoice, not a bill to be paid. They tell you how much they charged you, it’s up to you to dispute if you disagree with something.

I get the impression you’re the type of person who encounters assholes everywhere you go.

Who pissed in your cornflakes?

In the US, we’ll be sure to expand it to all the other purchases we make. Eventually even buying groceries will be a shakedown of your bank account.

No, I get that that’s their point. I’m definitely making the argument that if all you’re going to read is the headline, then maybe don’t complain about missing out on the full context.

Signs and symptoms of a stroke.

Just tip the still over and chug til it’s gone.

You’re a vile sub-human piece of garbage and you’ll never amount to anything.

(Am I doing it right? Are you motivated yet? I’m helping!)

If you’re not going to read the article or have any interest in it, why bother interacting on the subject at all? The fuck are you even talking about then?

Comparing a movie that takes an hour+ to watch to an article that it would take you 5 minutes to read tops to get enough context to not make dumb comments. Yeah, totally comparable.

People like you are why I have to send multiple work emails after I’ve already mentioned all the relevant details in the first message, all because I didn’t put the whole gods damned message in the subject line.

Take a hooked on phonics course if reading is that hard for you.

Hey! THE HEADLINE and THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE are part of the same body of work. If you want all the context, read all of the work.

If they put all the context in the title, the title would just need the article and would need its own summary.

The difference is you’re acknowledging it now that you get it. Other person is just being deliberately obtuse. The downvotes are entirely appropriate.
