Why does anyone think the squiggly red line signals something that’s always optional at this point?

Plus, there are contrarians everywhere.

It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France’s far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.

That is putting it very mildly.

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

He said that in *checks notes* 1971.

Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”

I don’t think this counts as a conspiracy theory. What he is doing is right out of Project 2025 and it is exactly for the reason you are suggesting.

It’s not a conspiracy theory when they’re doing what they said they were going to do. Trump’s weak disavowal doesn’t really count since everyone he’s surrounded himself with was and still is an active proponent.

So from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:

Greenland
Panama
Gaza
Canada
Ukraine
Mexico

Did I forget any? I realize the U.S. has one of the biggest militaries in the world, but I think maybe he’s going to stretch them a bit thin?

It’s no longer misconduct if it’s approved of at the highest level.

Some people cannot do a lot of active campaigning for health reasons. The person you just asked that question to is one of them. I just thought you should know that.

A lot of them claim that they’re fine with girls playing on the boy’s team because somehow the boy’s team is open to everyone (Air Bud rule) but the girl’s team is just for “real” girls because they have an inherent disadvantage. And this is from people who claim to be feminists.

I know what you are talking about. It is not the topic of this post. That is why you are getting downvoted.

You asked why you were getting downvoted, I told you, and now you’re trying to argue with me about it. Which I am guessing is also going to get you downvoted.

Also, stop responding to me multiple times and in PM.

Because this is about the Democrats and Section 230 and you’re talking about growing food.

Hagrid was played by human actor Robbie Coltrane. You can tell because he looks and sounds exactly like Robbie Coltrane.

(The late Mr. Coltrane was apparently a dick… so I guess being cast in Cracker was apt.)

Probably because that’s completely off-topic.

Your intentions are noble, but people do not appreciate that.

But let’s be honest- if you’re white, you’re probably safe.

This is going to trickle down to the grade school level. Because there is no shortage of perverts who are willing to “save” the girls from the evils of possibly playing sports with someone with a penis by inspecting their vaginas.

The sins of the fathers, huh?

“Voice acting as a profession just doesn’t pay,” she said.

True in the U.S. too, as I know from personal experience. And becoming even less true with AI voices that can realistically simulate emotional inflections. Basically, except for a very small number of people, VO is a side gig.

Literal Nazi shit from the army that is supposedly in Ukraine to stop Nazis.

This is why I will always be labeled a Zionist no matter what I say or do. It doesn’t matter how much effort I have put into trying to stop this genocide or how much I condemn Israel… nothing I ever say or do will be enough because I happened to be born from certain parents.

I also never call anyone a goy, or consider myself chosen. Again though, that doesn’t matter. To at least 26 people on Lemmy. Probably far more.
