Man, who would have thought that throwing a Nazi salute, and then when people point it out, making a bunch of Nazi jokes instead of denying it would get you labeled a Nazi?

That’s the damning part for me. If it really was a screw up, why would you not immediately say “Oops, that was not what I intended! I just got caught up in the moment and definitely was not trying to give a Nazi salute!” Like, I’d still hate the guy because he’s got a shitty ego, but I wouldn’t consider him a full-on Nazi. People make grand gestures when in front of a crowd, and let’s face it, a Nazi salute is not exactly a complicated gesture. I can see someone making that mistake when they’re just trying to be animated.

But he didn’t deny it! He instead went on Twitter and immediately started saying shit like “I did Nazi that coming.” What the fuck did you expect would happen?

I am 100% not a vegan. I eat meat and cheese and eggs and pretty much all animal products. So hear me when I say I regularly grab oat milk when I’m at the store.

It’s not just the best milk substitute, it is better than regular milk.

Is it real in the sense that you could prod a similar response out of Grok given the right inputs? Yes.

Is it real in the sense that it’s providing factual information and not just providing what its algorithm has decided the user wants to hear? No.

You went from water up to your waist to water up to your chest.

This post is asking about people who aren’t in the water at all and have a visceral reaction to the mere suggestion that they even look at water, let alone go in it.

No, we should clearly take things out of context so that the right has plenty of examples of liberals being overreacting idiots. That way they can use those examples to ignore actual, valid criticism. I mean after all, why would they believe someone on the left telling them that America is turning into a fascist state if that person is too stupid to recognize an obvious joke?

May I introduce you to Electric Six?

This is a braindead take. The man wasn’t sent to El Salvador for having an autism awareness tattoo. He was sent there because he wasn’t white. He just happens to have an autism awareness tattoo.

It’s like saying a Japanese American in WW2 was rounded up because he was wearing a hat. Or that a black man was lynched during segregation because he knew how to whistle.

It just misses the mark so much and completely ignores the real reason. Ask yourself, if this man didn’t have any tattoos, would he still have been sent to El Salvador? If the answer is yes, then the tattoo literally doesn’t matter.

That’s ok, insanity comes in many forms.

You don’t think the fact that lead just doesn’t smell all that much might be the better explanation?

Quick! Write a shitty news article about it!

Oooh, so scary. Look out, we got a real badass over here.

If you dump a bucket of water into another bucket from 6ft up, most of it will fall into the other bucket because of gravity. Some will splash out due to the turbulence of the water hitting the bucket.

Gravity and turbulence. We don’t call those excuses for why the water winds up where it does, we call them the reasons.

Explaining why things are the way they are isn’t making excuses. Panhandling doesn’t net you nearly enough to pay for all your basic needs. Shelters often have several issues that make them worse than the streets themselves. Section 8 requires documentation that the homeless often don’t have, meetings they can’t often get to, and wait lists years long.

Of course that’s not always the case, there are people that earn a decent living from begging. There are shelters that are safe and well run. There are areas where Section 8 housing is readily available and easy to apply for. But those are the exceptions. You’re focusing on the water that splashed out of the bucket and saying gravity must just be an excuse, because clearly some water made it out.

Also, you are stuck in the 90’s and don’t have the first clue what homelessness is today. 40-60% of homeless people today have jobs. Let me repeat that with some emphasis:

40-60% OF HOMELESS PEOPLE TODAY HAVE JOBS.

Cost of living has gone up so much that, even with a job, you can find yourself on the street. In the US, there is no longer even a single county where the income from working a full-time, minimum-wage job is more than the monthly cost for a one-bedroom apartment.

If you think the issue of homelessness lies with individuals not working hard enough, rather than a society where working full-time no longer guarantees you housing; well buddy, your morals are utterly fucked.

1. You seem to think I buy those products either, I don’t.

2. There is a world of difference between the past actions of a company over 80 years ago vs the current, ongoing embrace of Nazi symbolism and ideals by a CEO who also happens to be trying to dismantle the country he lives in. You know there’s a difference, I know there’s a difference, you just don’t give a shit. You are a bad person.

there isn’t even a clear reason for any “boycott”

I know it’s a tough concept to grasp, but I was raised with the belief that you should punch Nazi’s in the face, not buy their shit.

Brave has their own built-in ad blocker that still works

Is the Valve Index really that unpopular? Or is it not included in the list for some reason?

The fact that people believe this was real shows that even the most basic media literacy is fucking dead.

Why are people so bad at recognizing obviously fake shit?

Any book written by future historians that accurately talks about this period of time will have a chapter devoted to Pepe the Frog and… God damnit it’s all just so stupid.

You don’t think those “reports” are simply to disillusion people into thinking someone they hate is secretly miserable? Just seems like a pathetic coping mechanism to me.
