Urotsukidōji, Legend of the Overfiend. It’s a loving story about bringing humans and demons together through tentacles /s (seriously /s it is very much NSFW and violent)

That’s a joke, right?

In 1992 I thought the GOP was being hyperbolic about Bill Clinton’s history of sexual predation. Im not proud of that.

I wouldn’t want this Iranian government to have nukes though

We tend to shop for days worth of food at a time.

The reality is that votes still matter more to politicians than money. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is hands down the most powerful lobby in the USA. Their power comes from their ability to get their message out to their followers who are the most likely group to vote in any election.

The NRA’s power comes from a similar place.

My apologies for linking The Nation, but this was big news. It just happened 6 years ago.

In my friend group that might work but my family, not so much.

I would agree with the second half. I see a lot of insane takes on economics that are driven by hopes and dreams rather than reality.

The real advantage is I suspect if I reach out to an instance owner about problematic material on their instance they will address it whereas Reddit has gone out of theor way to make it harder to let reddit know about problematic material eg non-consensual sexual materials.

Funny you hear the opposite as well

And he’s #3 as Sly Stone died earlier this week

Because of a lack of admins/mods not due to low users or money

Thank you for clarifying what you previously meant

To be fair that’s a much more easily defensible position.

I heard a guy at a restaurant the other day talking about someone who was “reddit famous”. His party had no context for what that meant. I felt bad for that guy

I come here because I am fairly positive most are actual humans. A lot of the real idiots on reddit are bots looking to increase engagement.

Knowing this makes the first track on Turbonegro’s “Apocalypse Dudes” make more sense. The following clip is semi NSFW if your workplace is bothered by manakin nipples.

America largely believes the right to free expression and speech outweighs the risks brought on by those rights.

The problem is now we have a lot of fascists and we are going to lose those rights

It’s a huge assumption on your part that they believed it. It was and it remains an instrument of control. They took considerable editorial liberties, too, with the supposed word of god.

That is an equally large presumption. I happen to agree that some were more interested in control but many were believers.

Anyway, even if they believed it that is STILL NOT EVIDENCE

To them it is. Do you not get that they believe they have the words of their divine being in book form? If their faith is correct it would be proof.

Ineffective tax policies have different direct harms than other ineffective policies. Wealth taxes frequently do not bring in enough revenue which is a significant problem.
