That's reassuring, lol

Not surprised to see crickets in the comments on this one. I mean really, what's the bigger story here: the fact he admitted to that, or that he won't face any repercussions? I'll be happy to be proven wrong on that second part, though i don't expect to see anything actually happen to him over this.

Ahh well late to the party as usual ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At this point, I'm happy to end my bloodline. People are insufferable enough already, i don't want my kids growing up with the product of even more ridiculous nutjobs

frunch ,

Well that balances the damage lol

This is the kind of intellectual laziness i expect from maga chuds 🥂

For all the analyses out there attempting to explain conservatism, that really seems to strike the nail squarely on the head.

That's what bothers me most--i used to be able to find technical help and info very easily. Nowadays it's all buried behind pages of bullshit--if you can find any of those forums at all. There's very few places to get good help at this point, and I'm afraid it's going to be even more difficult to find those places as time marches on.

Well isn't that great, mr. moneybags

Yes I'm making a stupid joke bc it's a paid search engine, something i never would have imagined would be a thing. Now I'm going to price it and perhaps finally pull the trigger on an acct there because fuck google, fuck bing, and fuck all these sites being "wrappers" of them. I come from the dial-up days when lycos, webcrawler, altavista, yahoo--hard searches that would separate the men from the boys. Now we just get this "A.I." bullshit instead and it falls apart under its own weight. Excuse me while i wave my cane at the sun ☀️

Edit: so it turns out you can get 100 free searches on their site here: https://kagi.com/onboarding?p=choose_plan

Otherwise, it's $5/month for 300 searches, $10/mo for unlimited, and $25/mo for their "ultimate" exclusive experience...whatever that may be. I'm gonna try the freebies and see what happens. I'm still on the fence about paying for search, but I'm really tired of bs coming from these companies leading to things like we're experiencing today

He got out of the truck because the guy was flipping out at him, and chose to use racist insults to provoke him. A simple proverb that could have helped that racist fuck: don't let your mouth write a check your ass can't cash ✨

frunch ,

Truck driver didn't throw the first punch, though. Extremely aggressive would be provoking someone with racial epithets and then proceeding to punch them when they pull over to respond.

frunch ,

Nah, the idiot went on too long without receiving consequences for his stupid mouth. People that say shit like that only say it because they think they can antagonize others without expecting anything in return. I imagine that guy had a long history of shit-talking, you don't spontaneously just become a racist fuckface with a loud mouth.

The fact he took the next step and punched the guy in the face--that's where he crossed the line, and all bets were off. He could have just apologized, run, or shut up but instead he chose to further escalate the situation that he started. At the end of the day, this isn't about being the "bigger man" or whatever it is you're trying to do to make the racist the good guy. Some people need to learn that you can't just go fucking with anyone you like without fear of retribution.

His parents would have done well to warn them of the dangers they might face by picking a fight with a stranger. Luckily, we can learn from his mistake and perhaps even share this tale with our loved ones so they too can catch themselves before they start hurting racial epithets at truck drivers, then proceeding to punch them in the face when confronted for their words. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He brought it on himself. Whether he deserved it or not is irrelevant

If I'm allergic to shellfish and decide to eat them anyway, did i deserve to die?

Look before you leap!

frunch ,

I don't really think there's much difference here. When he decided to punch the truck driver, he invited a response. He was punched back. It's not the driver's fault the idiot couldn't take a punch. Do we know it was the driver's intent to kill the idiot? Should the idiot have warned the driver that he can't take a punch, therefore the driver is obligated to take his shit, accept a punch, and then walk away for the sake of being the "better man"? What precedent does that set? Racists are free to go about calling everyone whatever they want, start a fight, and because they might not be able to handle the repercussions, it will also be the responsibility of the victim of their verbal and physical assaults to then walk away just in case the racist can't take a punch?! What the fuck ever, man

frunch ,

😳 Is that a daily occurrence?

frunch ,

Jesus fucking christ. Now we're all at risk of being convincingly replicated online and made to say anything the user wants?? Saw this shit coming from a mile away. Yes deepfakes have existed of course but now it's easy as 1-2-3. Everything good eventually turns to shit i suppose, but man the Internet was the coolest most advanced discovery ever and now it's being turned into the stuff of absolute nightmares. I shouldn't be surprised i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

we can't have nice things, after all

frunch ,

Could you elaborate? I'm curious how you arrived at that conclusion.

Is being a sociopath a prerequisite for being the head of a massively successful tech company?

frunch ,

Conservatives have always played "victims", it doesn't surprise me in the least to see them co-opt anti-semitism now. I think they've actually resented Jewish people for having been genuine victims, stealing away that precious attention they wanted for themselves. Now they pretend to have always been besties with the Jewish, and claim anti-semitism is something they stand against in solidarity with the government of Israel (even more shithead conservatives)

In my younger, more optimistic days. I was naive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Trump Lawyer Makes Disturbing Immunity Claim Before Supreme Court: Apparently, John Sauer thinks staging a coup should be considered a presidential act ( newrepublic.com )

Donald Trump’s lawyer pushed an outrageous line of thinking on Thursday during oral arguments at the Supreme Court over whether the former president has immunity for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election: that a U.S. president could order a military coup d’état with almost no chance of repercussions. ...

Mind blown 😯

Yes, yes but have you considered

I thought that system was the shit back in the day. We only had a handful of games for it including Pengo, Vanguard, and Ms Pac Man...

Loved glider! I liked that the guitar would strum when you went past it :)

What a fun game that was!

Nearly every bully i remember from back in school is a maga chud. Completely unsurprising

Emergency rooms refused to treat pregnant women, leaving one to miscarry in a lobby restroom ( apnews.com )

“One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency...

That's what i was thinking--this is only the beginning of their woes. They committed a crime by having a miscarriage, i imagine this isn't the last we've heard of these stories

frunch ,

Wait--i thought this was the work of Democrats. You're telling me Republicans are trying to take away child workers' lunch breaks and pay them less??!?

That actually makes a lot more sense. The fuckers won't do anything to benefit the common citizen, they're too busy coming up with ways to fuck children and fuck with children's lives (I'm starting to understand their rationale behind the abortion ban, gotta keep the pipeline flowing)

frunch ,

Why the fuck are they even trying to pass it though? Shouldn't they be working on something to help people? How is this kind of law benefiting anyone but the employers?

Just curious: what do you think of this law?

frunch ,

I can't see why they wouldn't be

See how that sentence got that soft landing as opposed to this one that informs you of the nature of the statement it's at the end of? The first one doesn't direct you to get excited or to take the statement as a question, but it also doesn't give the hard ending of a period. It lets the sentence "breathe"

frunch ,

Could you elaborate?

frunch ,

I wouldn't be surprised if these are the same guys with punisher emblems on the back of their truck along with their blue lives matter flags...or for bonus points, a mashup of those 2 things

He might just have to consider your offer if he continues to lose big bucks in these lawsuits he's ensconced in

I also enjoy getting some cone crunch from the top half of the treat, that looks really good imo

I swear his daily calendar consists of delaying trials, tweeting nonsense on his twitter clone, napping, McDonald's™, and golf. Only the most alpha of day-to-day activities 🐺

frunch ,

For real! This guy is a real piece of shit, i imagine Trump's other VP candidates are getting nervous

frunch ,

Does this work universally or is there a particular station you frequent that it works at?

frunch ,

Outstanding contribution! I wish they let us spend money on award's here

frunch ,

What's worse though?! Comic artist giving people big noses or an army indiscriminately killing children and press then sweeping them both under the rug as terrorism?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let's all move to Michigan, then we can matter too 😐

Reddit stock is falling back to Earth because the short-sellers have arrived ( qz.com )

Some 7% of Reddit’s free share float (or more) has been sold short so far, according to an estimate from the analytics company Ortex cited by Reuters. That’s something the social platform was worried would happen, noting in its prospectus that retail traders in its subreddits (and particularly on r/WallStreetBets) could...
