Media blasting with walnut shells would probably do the trick.

You know what would have energized people? A huge program to reunite all the families that Trump separated.

And why would I go on instagram? And why should we treat an algo based experience as a reflection of real life?

I quit cold turkey after the API change. No one forced me to leave.

Have you actually experience that? Like in real life? Twitter doesn’t count.

They’ll also pass you up for promotions or exclude you from other types of events. In the 2000’s, when teenagers just started carrying cell phones and teachers didn’t realize, there were a lot of recordings of teachers berating their students for, among other reasons, not being whatever faith the teacher was.

edit: Also, fresh, 5 day old account and this is how you decide to start things? How many times have you been banned before?

I’m pretty sure the US and the Soviets were spying on everyone they could, enemies, allies, and their own civilians.

Bush II and my high school experience. Jingoism and anti intellectualism was taught at that school.

I would like to be able to navigate up a comment chain. Sometimes, people will reply to an old comment I’ve made and I can’t figure out which one it was. Is this some quirk of twitter that got brought over to bsky?

People with thoughtful morals don’t join the military. Sociopaths, moral LARPers, and desperate people do.

A lot of his comics were just based on stories his fans sent him. They weren’t really his ideas anyway. If you want to dive deeper into his own mind, check out his Bob Bastard episode of his cartoon. It’s incredibility incel coded.

Popo was based on Jinns or genies. Staff Officer Black, yes that’s his name, comes more from the Japanese getting a lot of Jim Crow era cartoons, but not knowing the historic baggage that comes along with it. It was mostly considered a racial caricature that didn’t really carry the same sort of hate we know it for in America. He also had Native America caricatures that most people don’t seem to have an issue with.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be looking to Toriyama for anything other then “Big Guy punches other Big Guy until one goes down”. He’s politically naive, not hateful. There’s a short list of other manga-ka who’s politics and… crimes should give you more concern. How Nobuhiro Watsuki is a free man bogus my mind.

Just be glad they didn’t use a harder slur and censored it.

Adams was always a little weird. He just masked it better until his divorce. I knew he was a crackpot in 2007 with his “Fossils are Bullshit” article.

You also have Brian Johnson’s blood transfusions and it wouldn’t be a stretch that Musk’s children are all potential organ donors.

That was my theory to why Zuck was so interested in his Metaverse. Every billionaire is planning some sort of post-life or extending their lives one way or another. The same way kings and emperors of history have.

This isn’t even a hierarchy at this point. Not when the goal is to completely exclude the out-group.

I know con artists in real life. They are not educated. They just speak fast and make up ideas that laymen wont call them out on. When they unknowing try that on someone who has a background in the specific field, they fall apart or get angry. A lot of conartists don’t even know they’re doing it because they’ve been doing it for so long, they’ve conned themselves.

That’s how it always goes with fascist and bigots. The in-group gets smaller with each victory until the in-group has no allies anymore.
