I mean, racism against brown people ranges pretty far and wide on the internet and I’d frankly be shocked if lemmy proved to be an exception

Thanks for reminding me to not renew my annual subscription!

Boy this is real deep if you think about it /s

Personally I think the traffic on the GWB has gotten a lot worse, which makes going to LaGuardia for instance quite a bit more difficult but I can’t deny everything else has gotten better. Wish public transport was better too but I’m hoping that’ll come with time.

No worries wasn’t trying to call you out just making a point

Say his name y’all

This isn’t as relevant as you think it is.

Why don’t we just hate all the races? Oh wait, corruption has very little to do with race and everything to do with capitalistic greed,

That second one is legitimately one of the best political cartoons I’ve see

Thought I was going to watch a mediocre college film project and came away with one of the most entertaining experiences this year

How can we help? Where can we volunteer? I tried to sign up for crisis text line during the pandemic but they were full up. I can help now.

CHIRP

It was a threat… I don’t actually believe that an officer would do that no matter how high their ranking. It seems pretty obvious that they just wanted the private to fall in line so they didn’t give him any other options. But this was told to me by a vet and it happened over 20 years ago according to them. Maybe the guy was delusional but he seemed deadly serious when he told me.

I had a similar conversation about this with a Marine yesterday, and I definitely trust the lower ranks and their commitment to the American people, but it is after all an authoritarian hierarchy. I’ve heard of privates coerced into taking vaccines under the threat of disappearing, and if soldiers can fire on their own civilians in other countries, I have every reason to believe they can here. And I know some of them readily would.

I get scammed every day on a near daily basis. I get scammed when my landlord raises my rent without fair cause. I get scammed when I look at inflated sale prices at my local grocery store for already shrinkflated goods. I get scammed when I get fees and tips tacked on to my bill when I go to the movie theater or a restaurant. It’s fucking infuriating but I don’t wish death upon my waitress, the store owner, or even my landlord. It’s all just unregulated capitalism in action. Scams, big or small, make money, and money moves us forward.

Just because some degenerate across the world with a funny accent who I will likely never interact with plays by the same rules doesn’t mean he should be thrown into a wood chipper. IMO.
