Hi, this is the dumbest thing I read today.

Nah, I see people get fired for made up reasons all the time and companies who are really gunshy about firing awful employees who cause a lot of problems, and management will even say they want to fire them for months while looking for a reason.
They REALLY don’t want to get sued, even frivolously. Even though it probably won’t happen in the first place, companies want the reason someone was fired to be so obvious that a potential lawsuit would be dismissed without going to trial.
Unless theyre firing a load of people at once, then they can just say they needed to downsize in order to stay in business.
Somehow we ended up with a system where workers both have no real protections but business are also, often, scared to fire crazies because one unemployed person dedicating all their time to causing problems can be very expensive.

Based. Forcing gay stuff is basically white colonization of black culture.

GTA San Andreas: Center of a huge moral panic over every aspect, even pulled from store shelves over a mod that unlocked a hidden (not very explicit!) Sex minigame Result: Easily the most successful game in years

Everybody in America seems to remember liking Twinkies as a kid but they’re nasty now. Debate continues over whether the twinkies changed, or we did.

Red flag laws, as written, don’t come anywhere near a strict scrutiny standard and rarely involve a judge. Usually police are empowered to make the decision, or worse, instructed to always seize weapons immediately until a judge says give them back, even if the police think it sounds like bullshit (as in the scenario of the greentext).

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_flag_law
Despite being blatantly unconstitutional (deprives a citizen of rights based on an accusation without trial) red flag laws exist in 21 states.
In this particular thread, 4chan is a better source of information than Lemmy.

Man, I guess I can imagine someone liking “I FEEL ASLEEP!!!” Metal Gear back when there was nothing better for the western market, but I still think that game sucked ass. The original MSX2 version of the game holds up and is fun today, but if the NES port was the “real” game I don’t think it would have got a sequel. It might have been fascinating (if you didn’t know about the REAL one) but I genuinely don’t think it was fun.

I think a tumblr post popularized it… Basically it went something like “I don’t like insulting people by saying they live in a basement, so I use CHUD (Cannablistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, after the horror movie of the same name) instead”

There was a time long in the past, where 4chan was the place you could find the most gay porn, and hate for gays, right next to each other.

We had a pretty close call there. For a while, the president was pushing hard for a federal online censorship program that got caught lying as soon as it was formed, and also trying to get votes counted with no voter ID unlike every single other democratic country. The administration was also paying bail for protestors who burned down random businesses and pushing for prosecution of people who acted in self defense. Luckily we didn’t re-elect him and his handlers after that.

Probably because the people who made the show experienced Christmas that exact way for themselves, where for the other holidays they read a boom or asked a practicing religious person what it was like.

Knew a girl once who smelled like she probably didn’t know how to wipe her ass.
I wouldn’t say she’s been happy or successful, but she’s had a few long and short term male partners (to the surprise of our friend group).
- Comment on Anon judges books by their covers 5 months ago:
Well, can you make a pretty good guess at someone’s profession and wealth by looking at them? Putting aside actual political apparel and some hobby/in-group indicators (EG RealTree camo or anime merchandise) that’s probably the correlation.
Back when image recognition AI was the hot topic I recall someone did a study which used it to identify the vehicles parked in front of homes and businesses from street view photos, and used it to predict a county’s overall political leaning with very high accuracy. I’m sure that same logic extends to clothes, hairstyle, accessories and cleanliness.

Explain this to me. Do you mean that 51% doesn’t include a large share of the 79% of Americans who say the country is on the wrong track? Has been for, oh, the last four years? Perhaps if the 49% had got their way instead it would have abolished capitalism and absurd celebrities somehow? As opposed to reinforcing the status quo?
