Reverse umbrellas are the best. Hands down.

Emphasis on “Supposed to”

Uh, yes. They can.

I was more in favor of Yang, tbh. Dude had some forward-thinking ideas

You know, the nice thing about lemmy is when someone makes an ass of themselves, a substantially larger portion of the community gets to see it. Like you are right now.

That’s fair, I wasn’t giving you the benefit of the doubt, that’s my bad

Lol does the horse retreat count as a victory?

You know, the beautiful thing about being a society is we can all just agree to regulate them. I think that’s called a government.

Goootcha, I was thinking the context was classical liberals who lean more right.

I get the feeling I’m mixing my definitions. In my mind liberals are generally allies of progressives and leftists, no?

Whataboutism means nothing at this point. Risk analysis? Whataboutism. Considering consequences? Whataboutism.

“Informal” means it’s not actually a fallacy. Prooooobably because people use it way outside of its definition to dismiss arguments they don’t like because they have not thought through whatever they are arguing about.

Hard to be flexible when the whole schtick of the right wing is to actively be bad people

Honestly, I was one of those people. Eventually, I realized I wasn’t happy because the algorithm found that I responded to a specific narrative and would not stop showing it to me no matter how hard I tried to remove it from my feed. I don’t like the person I become when I think that way, and the algorithm does not care. I had to just uninstall TikTok to be free of that toxic mindset.

Btw the mindset is incel-flavored misogyny. TikTok nearly re-radicalized me in the worst possible way.

I like the first one. The second might require a little more processing power than Trumpers typically have at their disposal.

First, have they ever presented good evidence of anything?

Second, who would they present it to? There’s no governmental agency or regulatory body in charge of disqualifying for insurrection. The only precedent we have for this is Confederates trying to run for office after the civil war, but that precedent got botched.

10/10 condescending attitude tho

I always thought it was named after the man because you have to stab at the stupid fucking croutons at least as many times as caesar himself just to get one on your fork or break it up. I hate those little fuckers.

No, buddy, it’s actually you who looks stupid

It occurs to me that this could be read with the speakers interchangeable.

Didn’t a solar flare just hit us today? I assume that’s the reason

I like kagi. I wish it weren’t a fourteen step process just to have it be the default when I search in the URL bar.
