  • Unfortunately, I don’t. I remember seeing 2 articles immediately pop up when I searched for a link for my friend, but I couldn’t tell you what news sites they were and when I tried to find them again I had the same results as everyone else - I couldn’t find the articles about that quote, just generalized statements possibly implying it, at most.

    It was back in December, though, after the election, and it came from somebody in his administration, not Trump specifically, which makes it harder to find. Especially with the ongoing flurry of anti-trans legislation being passed right now.






  • I might be wrong (obligatory I am not a lawyer), but I think the laws either make it so that they can’t be considered as an accomplice to a crime like that, or they’re a corporation, which means that fines are really the only way they can be punished.

    Either way, the arbitration clause, I believe, means that you can’t take them to court like that in any situation. An out of court settlement is your only option, except in the case of a class action lawsuit, which let’s them get a bulk deal on how much they have to pay out.



  • It’s not just blind hate, it’s a nation of under-educated racist bullies

    Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them

    Words have meaning, and when you say things like that, you lump us in with those scumbags. That’s exactly what the lunatics in charge want. Dehumanize us so the common person won’t care when they kill us. "Who cares if a bunch of gay people got shot? They were Americans, it’s their own fault for living in that shitty country in the first place. They all have guns, they should’ve shot first. "

    There are plenty of us here who agree with you and are cheering you guys on because we want to gut the current government just as much as you do. I hope Canada hits us with tariffs, and I hope it hurts. Because maybe then these idiots here will wake up and realize what they’ve voted for. I doubt it, but I can hope.


  • No, I believe the argument they’re making is if someone else posts your private information on BlueSky (think Kiwifarms doxxing gay people and sending that info to Christian hate groups), and BlueSky moderation doesn’t take action against the account posting the info, and then somebody uses that information to find and attack you, then BlueSky is culpable in the attack because they could’ve done something, but didn’t.

    A better example, I think, would be the recent issue with known transphobe Jesse Singal and his followers, who came to BlueSky around a month ago and immediately began posting bigotry and false info. When reported to the moderation team, they did nothing about it (he actually got banned by the auto-mod and then manually unbanned during that period, but that’s another story). If he were to do something like my example, posting a trans person’s private information online and telling his followers to harass them, and BlueSky did nothing to remove the posts or his account, then they’d be legally culpable for enabling anything that might happen to you. But under arbitration, you can’t sue them for it.





  • Elected by a margin of 1.5% of the vote, in an election where 2+ million mail-in ballots were thrown out, with black voters’ ballots being 9 times more likely to have been thrown out, and where more than half of the voting public didn’t even care enough to bother to vote.

    I’m saying have some damn empathy for us dirty American faggots and trannies who are likely to end up in a camp with no government to protect us - hell, a government that is actively hunting us down for sport.

    Or do you call German Jews Nazis as well? After all, the Germans made a choice. Hitler was democratically elected, too, you know.

    You sound exactly like the Republicans do when they talk about China, or immigrants, or black people, or…

    Don’t buy anything American, urge every politician you can to fight against our government, anything and everything you can. But don’t victim blame those of us who did and are actively fighting against the monsters the bigots and the white liberal masses put into power. I’m hoping for NATO to come and save us, not gun us down in the streets for being American.





  • No, it’s part of a longer animation where he pulls the mag, racks the slide, checks down the chamber to examine the barrel and chamber for damage, then flips it to check it again from the other end, before putting the mag back in, and putting the now cleared gun onto one of the stacks.

    Then he picks up a new one and begins the process all over again.

    He actually shows pretty good gun handling during the whole thing. Even with the slide racked, the mag out, and the chamber checked and cleared, he still uses proper trigger discipline through the whole process. Flipping the gun is really the only “rule of cool” bit of the whole thing.

    The whole thing is that he’s prepping 1911s for use to defend a tribe against an invading army. A lot of 1911s.

    My point was that you can buy one gun, or help the community to either arm themselves or teach them how to. I figured a reference to Joshua Graham and his famous scene of checking guns forever would be picked up since the quote “We can’t expect God to do all the work” was a big meme for awhile.
