- Comment on Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? 2 days ago:
You’re never a loser if you never admit you’re wrong - no matter how high the evidence piles up just keep faking it 'till you make it, or until it doesn’t matter anymore.

“blinkers” = “blinders”’ I presume?
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 2 weeks ago:
There used to be a requirement of giving equal air time to opposing opinions - that was one of the earlier things Republicans successfully targeted. I’ve no idea how to make that work with the virtually unlimited possible sources available today.

I’m NOT cleaning the inevitable mess when shit gets stuck to that, and gets deposited back all over their rear end (and everywhere they go) as this “fashion accessory” bounces around.

How true. I find the only way I can feel relatively normal anymore is to try to tune out news of what’s happening in the world around me. Unfortunately, I’ve spent so much of my life paying attention that I find myself unable to hold onto that blissful ignorance for very long.

- Comment on The Law That Disarmed Trump Is Unfair, Illogical, and Constitutionally Dubious 5 weeks ago:
Funny how this suddenly becomes a problem worth writing about when it affects Trump. It been an issue for decades, but not enough to change it. I have my suspicions as to why, but I’ll leave that as a thought exercise for the reader because I don’t feel like getting into it.

They’ll accept it, but won’t tell you they ignored everything after character n, and their login page won’t take anything but the “correct” password so you’ll be spending some time figuring out the actual character count limit…

I think it was more hoping we could dismiss the period as a fever-driven nightmare that wasn’t actually real. The fact he accomplished so little during that time kinda helped the idea that it wasn’t real.
This time around they’re coming in hot & heavy, fully prepared to make the most of their chance to destroy all the checks & balances that have kept them at least somewhat at bay up until now. There’s not only no way to deny the forthcoming reality this time around, there’s just no way to overstate just how real shit’s gonna get.

Ah, the ambiguity of words - the definition of “evil” lies in the eye of the beholder.

You’ve just described what is probably the most well-known xkcd comic in a somewhat long-winded fashion.

Makes no difference to my point.

I’m aware it’s not a protected class - that was the point of my initial comment. But your rental implied “hate crimes” were defined as those based upon properties of a person they had no control over - with a major caveat for religion as well. My point was if you can include something a person chooses to believe as an additional exception, then that opens up an extremely wide swath of possible exceptions.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m not arguing against the inclusion of religion, just saying that the inclusion can be used to crowbar in any number of other “classes” to be protected as well simply because they’re based upon beliefs.
- Comment on Relevant advertising 🤪 2 months ago:
It’s that religion exception that belies the idea that it’s solely about qualities of a person that they have no control over. Beliefs are beliefs, regardless if they’re related to religion or capitalism.

Or distraction caused by a topless “wardrobe malfunction” - the source of which disappeared into the crowd & will never be found.
- Comment on Relevant advertising 🤪 2 months ago:
Well, technically this seems to have been a hate crime as well - just not of a “protected class” (which I’m sure is a “shortcoming” of the law that they’ll get “addressed”).

Which can happen to some anyway if they don’t have a powered door opener.

You don’t need a manual at all - you just push the buttons in farther than usual.

The problem with this layout is that the shit from the top handle will drop onto the lower one, thus contaminating it as well.

Yeah, they did, but the remaining employees won’t dare complain about it, so management sees this as a twofer win.

- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
The fact they still haven’t been caught despite all the attention this has gotten so far tells me the shooter knew what they were getting into & was prepared for it. Legally speaking, I think that eliminates a “temporary insanity” defense, but I don’t think it should. Someone despondent over losing a dearly loved one due to the completely arbitrary, cynical, and sometimes outright ghastly “healthcare” system we live under refusing to provide the service they were paid for seems like something that would lead to a temporary insanity that just lasts a very long time.
