“Yes we’ve made life harder, especially for the elderly and pregnant. But you must understand we needed to impart more misery on the homeless!”
- Comment on Why do people say "my taxes" 2 weeks ago:
“Hey, can we give each homeless person $2000? It’ll pull 90% of them out of poverty. Then they’ll become contributors to the tax pool!”
“No, I’d rather spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on hostile architecture and hostile police. Also we pay jails to house and feed them.”

You could also class it as a debt in your name.

Yeah, but up there all your water pipes will freeze and rupture. But you don’t need to worry, you’ll be dead.

Also, the bible didn’t say only 2 monke
“Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth” (Genesis 7:2–3)
Poster is both dumb and inaccurate.

Mostly because when the initial reaction surfaced, he was saying stuff like “You will be ashamed when you find out why Quiet is dressed like that”
And it turned out to be total weaksauce excuses for titillation. At least own up to your degeneracy.

IMO it’s because they are pissed off. And the longer it takes for justice, the more pissed off they get.
Couple that with Congress ordering the release of all the documents, then the justice department dragging its feet. Everything the us government does that isn’t just releasing the docs is seen as a distraction. Delay until people forget or stop caring, so to counter that people refuse to stop talking about the files, to keep them in the conversation.

Anon wants to talk about the games they like, not the games other people like.
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 4 months ago:
Acronyms vs Initialisms
No one is going to try pronounce Fbi, it’s awkward.
There are terms that bridge the Acronym/Initialism divide. SQL-Sequel, URL-Earl and GUI-Gooey are some that come up fairly regularly in my line of work.
The bottom line is; Language is used to communicate concepts. We are lazy and do it as efficiently as we can get away with. The rules have changed a LOT to get us where we are today. It would be blind hubris to think the change will stop just because we don’t like it.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 5 months ago:
No to self defence. You learning self defence will only provoke a stronger response from the guys who will go up to and beyond killing you, and may call in actual military support if required.
Civil disobedience feels like a better approach. Forming human walls, information networks and rapid support responses slow and mitigate attacks on your community.
Applying pressure to your representatives also can help.
