Well, they will be prosecuted, or at least there is the chance that they will be. Trump was already convicted of sexual assault which in other states would have been a rape charge. The problem is that he, nor “high-profile people” will ever spend even a single day in the prison cell they belong into.

At this point I’m sure it’s not even about control anymore, it’s just that privacy sometimes gets in the way of “line go up”.

I’ll preface this with that I’m not a believing Christian, I don’t even believe in God. But I grew up with religious grand-parents and also had religious education since childhood from talking to our town priest at various summer camps that were organized and supervised by the church. I was that weird kid that always asked too many questions.

It’s one of those attempts at bible-thumping that is just abhorrent and completely wrong.

In Christian belief (more strongly held to by catholic branches of Christianity), Jesus endured torture, insults and death and in return, he only wished for salvation for everyone (including the people insulting, torturing and killing him). Jesus did this because he knew that the only entity that is allowed to judge you is God and God will judge you when you die and by enduring the atrocities committed against him, he showed faith in God’s fair judgement.

Technically, that means that seeking revenge or justice for a crime committed against you is equal to not trusting in God to judge your perpetrator(s) fairly in afterlife and as such is not living the example that Jesus gave. Instead, you should forgive and pray and hope that your abuser will understand and repent his wrongdoings.

It does however not transfer their sin onto you, you are committing a different sin in doing so, so they keep their sin of being a childfucker, so what these kooks are saying is baloney. It’s also entirely unchristian to demand absolution from anyone but God and it’s a sin doing so. As a victim, it’s also allowed to think about and voice your anger and frustration of crimes committed against you, you should just not act upon your anger irrationally. Suing somebody for damages is not irrational, telling them to fuck off and never come near you ever again is not irrational, so they are plainly wrong.

If it’s not religion, something else would be the guise under which the same people would operate.

Wasn’t Tesla complaining about profit loss all year, stock tanking and all? Wasn’t this Musk’s fault as well? If I do shoddy work at my place, I get fired, not a trillion bucks extra paycheck, but maybe I’m just too stupid.

Tinfoil hat: the threat was just a ruse to provide plausible deniability. The actual reason they are allowed to establish an air base on US soil is because they gave Trump a $400M airplane.

B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which turned your buddy into a scheming, little brat and that was funny. The creature in 2 is way too streamlined.

Well of course they do. It’s their mascot.

Talked to a guy recently that claimed ChatGPT has “an IQ of over 300”. Laughed hard, he got mad at me laughing.

In essence, yes. Or at least that was a big part of Hitler’s campaign.

Back then it was the Jews and socialists gutting Germany by accepting unconditional surrender after WW1 (Dolchstoßlegende), today it’s immigrants, especially muslims, trying to impose their culture upon us.

(/s) But what happened in 1933 cannot happen again because now we are so much smarter and people back then were dumb. (/s)

Canada is my only hope. Please Canadians, don’t go insane, too.

German here.

Many Germans firmly believe the AfD is not a nazi party. Many Germans defend them because the AfD tells them what they want to hear: “It’s not your fault that you haven’t struck it big yet in your life, it’s the insert minority/marginalized group of the month’s fault.” They truly believe that the AfD will help them.

It’s the same obvious, fascist playbook that they pulled in the US and people eat it up while laughing at your idiot president.

It’s insane. People are incapable of questioning themselves and thus incapable of learning.

Kimmel didn’t even talk about Kirk’s death outside of stating that the right is trying their best to milk it as much as possible which is saying nothing about Kirk. He never commented on Kirk as a person, at least not as far as I know of.

If the issue is that you’re still tripping, you’d need pretty much anyone but him.

To be fair, I blame the compiler as well when the shit I write doesn’t work.

From a catholic standpoint, the last 2 popes were pretty progressive tho.

Only if you count women.

Same thing that led to the surge of racism in the US. Lyndon B. Johnson said it best:

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
