    Ah yes, the people supporting the leopards eating faces club are once again surprised the leopards ate their face.

        The problem with those sorts of niche communities is that they need constant (sometimes heavy-handed) moderation to remain on topic. The Fediverse is not really good at that yet.

        That and there needs to be a core of dedicated posters producing new, and good, content.

        Reddit made a lot of it easy. Good(ish) mod tools (if you used third party apps or browser extensions) and communities that were large enough to keep people interested in the niche subs.

        But we all know how that tuned out.

          You also cant heavily moderate like 12 total contributors. Soon you have 0 contributions.

          But it’s also why I love lemmys showerthoughts. You don’t have to be a shower thought writing savant. You just have to try.

      Every single time I see, hear or think any variation of that phrase, I can’t help but mentally follow it up with “Caaaarl”.

        Paul: “How could you eat MY face?”
        Carl: “It’s quite simple actually: I took a look at your face, found it tasty, tool a little bite and ate it.”
        Paul: “That doesn’t answer my question!”
        Carl: “I remember you specifically giving me permission to, and i quote, ‘eat all these faces’.”
        Paul: “Yeah, i was hoping that you wouldn’t eat MY face! The face of your buddy, your best friend, your… soulmate.”
        Carl: “You could have been a bit more specific then. Now your face is gone. I ate it. And it was quite delicious.”
        Paul: “… Caaaaaarl.”
        Carl: “Really delicious! Yum!”

    “And the state has an obligation to protect children.”

    Unless it’s protecting them from hunger. Or lead in water. Or child labor.

    Yes bill, that was the fucking point everyone was making to you while your republican colleagues wrote and ratified that poorly worded and ill-conceived piece of bullshit legislation. I don’t remember what it was exactly but I do remember laughing at how obviously it would come back and bite yall in the ass and you dumbfucks, who lack the insight necessary to spot your own hypocrisy, had no idea.

    Republicans are always surprised when language cuts both ways. Which is every time. Not really capable of learning; ergo, not fit to govern.

    Does anyone remember the time this asshole was sexually harassing one of his underlings and he didn’t know the difference between a falafel and a loofah sponge? "I’m going to rub you down with middle eastern food… "

    There’s no reason this hack’s books should be in any school library to begin with.

      Bill O’Reilly on sex:

      Say baby, put down that pipe and get my pipe up.

      I would like you to unhook your bra and let it slide down your arms. You can keep your shirt on.

      Cup your hands under your breasts and hold them for ten seconds.

      I wish I were a lesbian.

      All from his classic 1998 novel, Those Who Trespass.

      And no, I’m not making a single one of those quotes up.

      What was his new book? I imagine it was his fascination with penis and vagina.

    “I want to emphasize the fact that there are abuses in certain school districts that harm children,” he said. “There are materials that are inappropriate and those materials have to be specifically included in the law with language that is very specific.”

    He’d rather the law say “don’t talk about gay people or gay sex but all the other kinds of sex are fine you can talk about that”. Does he want them to go down the list by position? Have a specific yes/no on each sexual act? I’m half being facetious because no, seriously, what is “materials that are inappropriate…have to be specifically included in the law with language that is very specific.” supposed to mean?? Like what is he talking about. This is literally exactly what he supported.

    I seriously thought he was dead. Haven’t heard his name in years.
