Back to the Future. It’s both an amazing time capsule of the era and somehow also timeless. All the actors absolutely nail it and it’s just super fun to watch. I never get tired of it.

Dude I literally came in to mention Charley. I’ve only listened to Age of the Ram but when I’m in the mood I’ll check out the rest.

If you like hip hop at all, What’s Peace? off the new Statik Selektah album had some great lines. Some gems for me:

What’s peace? Is it locking up people like me For selling weed, but then you go and let a pedophile free? Is it Capitalism or privatizing the prisons Or giving corporations freedom to poison food that we eat?

…

That’s why I get the skeevies knowing Stevie’s pulling strings Take a look inside the cabinet, see it’s clearly Miller time You got a lion in your pocket, you lying You got a long line of far-right conservative actors going on Grindr

…

How insecure you gotta be to pretend Christ was White? And hate those that look like what Christ really looked like? They call you Marxist, Socialist and Commie They hate you if you Haitian or Somali They blaming 9/11 on Mamdani

I agree, just addressing your hypothetical at the end and how that doesn’t follow logically.

How about if someone just decided to remove a stop sign.

Are those 2 situations equivalent at all? I can’t think of a situation where adding a stop sign up would make the intersection more dangerous whereas the removal of one would almost certainly make it more dangerous. In your mind is the only way to regulate this to ban both for some reason?

Prosecutors hate this one trick! No murderer is competent to stand trial due to being mentally unstable! What’s their diagnosis? Who knows! Who’s your expert witness? Some random asshole on lemmy? Perfect!

mentally ill

Gotta love armchair psychologists

Damn TIL, fuckin bad ass. I looked up a doc on YouTube and was pleasantly surprised by the comments too.

This post brought to you by a person who studied beyond highschool level and the phrase “buy into it”.

Show us one of these “cesspool” threads, I’ve seen nothing but kindness there.

Absolutely, hypocrisy and hating yourself are core tenets of the conservative experience in America.

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

Sounds like they were playing by his rules? We both know there’s no evidence “the left” killed him but hey we all know how conservatives feel about facts right?

Hey Jimmy Kimmel, how do you like that marketplace of ideas? I heard conservatives sure do value that marketplace. Why can’t I hear you Jimmy?

Yeah you don’t sound like a transphobe at all. Is there any other discrimination that you’re incapable of experiencing for yourself that you also don’t think exists?

Not everyone you disagree with is a “transphobe”. In fact, I don’t think there’s a single person in the world who has an “intense and overwhelming fear” of trans people. Most just want them to stay out of the opposite sex’s spaces.

Just a hunch, you’re cis aren’t you?

They made the comment that she wasnt born tall, like an idiot. Implying that she wouldn’t have been tall naturally.

Here’s you being too stupid to understand an obvious joke. That’s an example of antagonizing without analysis or thought.

I guarantee you I support and care more about women’s sports than you do but keep teeing off on these straw men, it makes you look really strong.

Cool, I’m done with the cherry picking here. Have fun with your completely “fair” sports untainted by the presence of those game breaking trans athletes.

Stop making shit up to fit your narrative.

This is how you started the conversation but all of a sudden I’m being condescending.

Sports are of course both fair and unfair.

But they only get to be unfair the in the ways that you decide right?

There isn’t a better example of the greatness of sport, but you try to twist it to be a negative 😂

Never said it was a negative, just trying to assess why some parts of sports get to be allowed in your definition of fair and unfair. I can give you a laundry list of the reasons why the NBA isn’t fair but I know this really has nothing to do with fairness for you. It’s odd how someone touting the greatness of sports is also a proponent of disqualifying some people from participating.

It’s as far from a random line in the sand as can be. Born men are not to compete against women. As long as there has existed womens sport, this rule exists implicitly, by definition.

We’ve always done it this way! What a great reason to keep doing something and never reflect and change for the better!
