I have a cousin who was really obnoxious and macho. Then he came out of the closet and dropped all that shit. When people can’t be their authentic selves, they tend to lash out in strange ways. Homophobia was drilled into my cousin at a young age so it was really hard for him to accept who he is.

When was there a time where people were fighting for basic human rights and in retrospect, it wasn’t considered the right thing to do?

Your previous comment said you’re still doing them a favor by searching even if you don’t buy. If all they do is put ads on their site for your searches, then no, you’re not doing them any favors by just searching. If they were selling your data or processing it to use in other ways like market research or investments, then sure. Amazon only needs like four percent of their staff to run the site and push suggested purchases, there’s not a lot to it. Processing data is a very different beast when it comes to research and investments.

I have a friend who’s high up at Amazon. He said they don’t actually do anything with the data since the algorithm already just puts ads based on what you’re searching. They don’t sell the data or process it in any way

Shop local, stop supporting corporations

That’s just what gets the most media because pretty white women getting harassed by ICE will get a lot more clicks than all the brown skinned people getting harassed by ICE

I wish I looked that good

Oh fuck, all day in the barrens chat

The early days of wow were a magical time. I loved jumping around and getting stuck in the most random, remote areas of the map

Your answer is you’re armed? Does that mean you’ll shoot and kill the bad people who rise to power in your country?

Okay, if this was happening in your country, what would you do that would actually stop fascism?

I think that’s called being a good person but don’t bother telling the republicans that

Didn’t Obama basically have the same platform? If anything, Hillary ran on healthcare for all while Obama didn’t in 2008. He’s certainly more charismatic and had the image of “not a typical politician”, which helped him win that primary, plus but I think he benefited from W’s economic mess and McCain unwillingness to be an asshole on the campaign trail, unlike Trump with Hillary and Kamala

But honestly, I’m speaking anecdotally. It’s been extremely depressing how many people have told me that a woman can’t be president because being on her period will make her nuke china. But maybe people just think it’s okay to be sexist out loud more than racist these days.

I hope you’re right. I feel this country’s rampant sexism is far worse than its rampant racism. Either way, AOC is facing both forms of bigotry

Not at all. I’m just wondering how much time he spent getting those cans, but if he enjoyed the process, then all the better

That’s an average of 176 cans per day. I’m all for recycling but that just feels like a second job

Dumbfucks are still waving the confederate flag, so ya, ol’ Ulysses didn’t quite finish the job

Let’s not forget the time a United flight was overbooked and picked a random guy to take off the plane even though he was already in his seat. He refused and the passenger was beaten unconscious and dragged out on his back https://youtu.be/VrDWY6C1178

I don’t think it matters. The people who voted for him could watch Trump shoot their spouse in the face and still be like “ya but he tells it like it is.”

And I want to tell you so much
