  • Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the "N" word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said "oh, that was so long ago!". I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you're complaining about how I'm trying to castrate the guy.

    If you don't like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don't idolize an asshole? But don't come into public spaces and try and sell it as "Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn't weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he's changed now."

  • "Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth."

    Yeah, if you don't see "nazi" after that, that's on you I think.

  • Because he doesn't actually believe any of this, it's all performative. It's all about creating a certain narrative that they can then exploit to keep the grift going.

  • Black gospel music has often been the only Christian-oriented music that really did it for me. A lot of blues, soul, etc was created by folks who got their start in black gospel music, and used what they learned there in secular genres. Hugely influential in so many different types of music.

  • Fascists can't be argued with. They love when you get angry and yell at them. But they absolutely cannot stand to get laughed at. Go look up some quotes from Mel Brooks about why he thought it was important for the Hitler references in The Producers.

    We should be doing a monthly nationally televised event where Trump, Musk, and the rest are ridiculed.

  • So less "town hall" and more "klan rally" - got it

  • Yep, had the same thought

  • Oh wow. UM really is just a malignancy that refuses to go away, isn't he? I'm all for allowing different opinions but if someone keeps peeing in the pool, sooner or later you stop letting him in.

  • You don't have the right Cheers pic next to Kirstie Alley.

  • I was a tech reviewer back then and I remember them doing a demo at a show with a Humvee driving over it. Not even a banged up screen in the demonstration. Truly impressive. Gel "envelope" around the HDD, gaskets throughout for water protection, metal alloy body (back when everyone else was still using plastic).

    Couple of years later and I got a smaller, slightly less ruggedized version to test as well and turned my 2 1/2 yr old loose on it and absolutely no issues. So toddler tested almost two decades ago!

  • Um…no… this is just gender-swapped RFK Jr (from her Wikipedia page):

    A "both-and" approach (both prayer and medicine) to physical and mental health has been attributed to Williamson.[98] Williamson has said, "People who are prayed for get out of the emergency room faster," and "people who have been diagnosed with a life-challenging illness, who attend spiritual support groups, live, on average, twice as long after diagnosis".[11][99][100]

    Williamson has stated her support for the necessity and value of vaccinations and antidepressants,[101][102] but has been criticized for her skepticism about the pharmaceutical industry's influence in setting guidelines for how they are administered, citing her belief that their profit motive could result in harm to patients.[103][104][105]

    She has also criticized overprescription of antidepressants,[97][106] questioning whether antidepressants play a role in suicide, saying that the prescriptive definition between sadness and clinical depression is "artificial", and having called the process by which clinical depression is diagnosed "a scam".[107][102]

  • On Bluesky, if you block the creator of the pack, it removes you from it. I would be surprised if the folks creating this on Mastodon didn't do the same.
