They criticized/disagreed with him and it hurt is fee fees.

Because they are all the real snowflakes.

Every accusation from a conservative/fascist is a confession. Every. Single. Time.

I have ADHD and didn’t get diagnosed or medicated until after I was out of school.

I basically had two options: pay attention in class or attempt to take notes.

I had so many teachers in grade school complain I didn’t take notes, or do homework but that was a different complaint. The issue was that when I took notes I would miss chunks of information as I was writing and my writing was basically illegible because I was trying to put it down fast. If I slowed down to make it neat I would miss even more information. So any notes I took would be next to useless and I wouldn’t remember anything. And that’s without even determining what I needed to write down.

Grade school was also slow passed and repetitive enough that most of the time I could sit and watch or doodle while listening and retain the information. Basically the only thing I struggled with was spelling because it was just rote memorization.

College was a bit harder in some cases beyond general ed, but for the classes I needed to study for I was able to re-watch the recorded lectures and take the time to write stuff out since I could rewind and pause.

Yeah, I think the more accurate title would be “mass marketing” or something. There are certainly marketing campaigns that work, but they are more catered to the audience.

Valve markets to nerds all the time, but they have enough good will with their target audience so it’s more assumed to be “good faith” marketing, like they don’t misrepresent what they are trying to sell.

Look at the Steam Deck. They made announcements and over then worked with creators in the PC gaming space to do interviews and reviews and it felt much more organic. Rather than reading some dry ad or annoying banners and interruptions. It was a marketing campaign of sorts that engaged with the audience and made them want to seek it out.

Where I don’t know many people who are receptive to buzzword salads that are mass blasted over everything and just interrupt everything.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they claimed the shooter is trans. They’ve done it before with absolutely no evidence.

We don’t know the politics of the shooter so far, but one thing the right seems to not understand is they have an absurdly low threshold for violence.

A right winger will assault if not kill someone for the most minor of “infractions” if they have a reason at all. Most of the time it’s just existing in a way they don’t like or “Walking while black”. They are bloodthirsty and just want to kill everyone who isn’t like them.

The left also has a threshold it’s just a lot higher. Some may even say too high, but the left doesn’t kill someone over the clothes they wear or even being directly insulted and threatened.

Most of the “violence” from the left is fucking property damage, but pushed far enough the left can and will defend themselves and their communities.

More like “hilarious”, especially since he was literally doing his “we must accept shootings for the 2A” shtick. Literally would be something written in a dark comedy.

They didn’t need this. They were going to do it regardless. They might use this as an excuse, sure, but it wont’ be the reason.

Fascist do not “need” a reason to remove rights from people.

Exactly. I’m tired of taking the high road or “being the better person” while monsters like him actively call for my death on a near daily basis.

This trans removed is going to get a cake and put “The only good nazi…” on it.

The news already brightened my day.

He’s literally called for attacks on trans people as well as other marginalized groups. He was one of many who were laughing at assaults on liberals and the left. He and others have actively caused harm and death.

Fuck’em. I won’t “directly” call for violence, but I will engage in shaudenfruede. They can taste their own medicine.

“Thoughts and Prayers”

…Does it count if we are hoping for the obvious?

I would also bet that when the landscape decentralizes there will be a lot more cp, revenge and peep-videos and other illegal shit in the mix

Oh, count on it. I remember the early days of the internet and file sharing. There was no validation or accountability and you really could stumble on some of the most terrible stuff without meaning to.

Realistically, no one should love how easy it is for anyone of any age to go to any search engine and search for “boobs” and just get a million images of boobs.

First. let’s not pretend the idea of a kid seeing “boobs” is in any way shape or form actually harmful. Pushing that taboo is why there is any issue in the first place.

Second: This is always a slippery slope. Even if we gave the benefit of the doubt that these things are done in with honest intentions, someone will abuse the system eventually. At least in the US the fascists have already laid out intention to classify LGBTQ people as “porn” in an effort to both silence us online and ban us in public. And what of the countless queer kids in an abusive home?

And even without someone explicitly exploiting it, there had already been instances where kids who were being actively sexually abused by the adults in their life were blocked from resources that could get them help because of content blocking like this.

Thirdly: People can take responsibility for their crotch spawn and be a fucking parent.

They are mostly all careerists who focus on who’s “turn” it is while they are one foot in the grave. Its a major issue on why we have the current situation.

The fact that hold onto power they are either unwilling or too scared to use is infuriating.

Living in an area with very hard water, yes.

At least on android I was able to just add a link to the home screen in Firefox.

Lets be honest, most of the people who get stiff when looking at guns support this. They were always going to bend over for authoritarians because if authoritarians took over the government they were going to be right wing.

Republicans did the same, both “legally dubious” and blatantly illegal.

There are a lot of things they can do, but also if they are breaking the law and blatantly ignoring the constitution I would argue basically anything is on the table to stop this, even if it is “extra legal” or whatever.

Because if they don’t the entire system of laws and rules and everything is fucked beyond repair.

Stop with your moral grandstanding. Harm reduction is a thing. Both are bad options, but even assuming she wouldn’t have been swayed things would still have been better than they are now. You can do your protest vote in the primary if you want, but those short-sighted actions in the general is how fascism has won.

Regardless, it really just feels like you decided to fuck over minority groups in the US while also making things worse for the Palestinians. Trump is gearing up to start WW3 and the only reason I think they aren’t going to nuke Gaza is because they want the land. Not that conventional weapons can’t do the same amount of damage.

Meanwhile, you throw women, immigrants, and trans people under the bus because you wanted to feel smug about something. Between wondering if I will be able to maintain rights, or even life, in the next 4 years on top of them literally tearing the government apart and doing damage that will take decades to fix, if it even can be fixed, I don’t see things getting back to even how they were a year ago in my lifetime, even if I manage to get to an old age.

I can only do what I can, and I can’t fight for people in another country when I’m worried about what is happening domestically. My focus has to be making sure my friends and I are safe. I am exhausted and have no energy left to spare for the Palestinians.

I hate that I have to make that decision, but people like you forced it on me. We told all of you this would happen, and you did not care. I can’t help Palestinians if I get arrested for existing or just murdered in the street.

They want to classify all trans people as porn, just for existing in public, and then execute “pornographers”, which will largely just be queer people they just arbitrarily classified as porn. It’s literally what the Nazis did.

So I really have no sympathy left. Honestly, I’m pretty sure much of the people who refused to vote over Gaza likely just fell for a right wing campaign to split the left. If so, it worked and you fell for it. The people who aren’t Trump supporters and didn’t vote for Harris are short sighted fucking idiots.

I have no more energy to coddle people like you and if me calling you out for stupidity for letting fascism win “pushes” you to the far right, then you never actually had any principals.
