  I wonder if the dog was anxious, like “why are we all running away?” or if it was the greatest day of their life.

  It’s funny that this is posted in shitposts and it’s super appropriate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Terrorists⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I posted this in another thread but it’s worth posting it here too. This person is obviously not arguing in good faith. Literally everybody knows that’s not the situation. But here this person is, oversimplifying, speaking to anger others, and obfuscate the facts.

  Anyway, here’s my comment from the other day:

  This is that usual gaslighting rhetoric from the right. Someone reminded of the Sartre quote about anti-semites recently. It’s so applicable to how the right twists facts and makes absurd over-generalizations. It’s the epitome of acting in bad faith.

  “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

  It is true. There is amazing food in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moon Worshippers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. The moon thing is still cool and doesn’t sound absurd; some nights it’s bright out and there’s a bright object up in the sky, and it occurs in regular intervals. Sounds believable that some animals would notice it and celebrate the light in the night. But I guess it’s a hoax hehe.

  I saw a couple recluse spiders in my apartment several months ago and maybe I’m an idiot, but I left them alone. They were truly more scared of me than I was of them. They don’t want to bother me and only will if I threaten them. So I left them alone and they just chilled in their “recluse” hiding spots.

  Bayesian updating converges, surprisingly, to that idiot’s belief system.

  While I agree most countries aren’t like this, most countries also weren’t beacons for immigration. I get where OP is coming from. The US didn’t have a smooth transition from “come on all in yall” to “gtfo” so the jarring realities creates sense for the meme, even if it hits the wrong mark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Deportation flights have begun' as Trump sends 'strong and clear message,' White House says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When are you gonna want justice to come for the US citizen business owners who hire undocumented workers in order to fatten their own profit margins and undermine the country they are loyal to?

  Why do I never see a single conservative approach this issue studiously and instead just hope for and cheer mass deportations?

  Some questions to you personally: when you see a problem do you just let anger and fear take over and then just throw shit at the problem? If throwing shit at the problem doesn’t seem to work, do you just throw more shit? If you think the shit isn’t working but some passionate fear mongerer tells you the shit literally will work, do you go back and keep trying the literal shit?

  Have you ever taken a step back to try to understand something deeply? Have you ever tried to understand a complex problem holistically? To see that sometimes actions have unforeseen consequences and the shit you’re throwing isn’t just not working, but it’s brewing new problems?

  Or are you really just god damn fucking stupid, idiotic, and pathetic?
