Jobs come up pretty damn often in conversation with strangers. If they ask, youre obliged to tell them the truth. Doing so would hardly constitute bragging in my opinion.

Just checked in game and he actually does swing with his left. Never noticed until now. Apparently newer games retconned him to be right handed

Where are the actual sources of this information? Are there police interview transcripts available somewhere? Are there reports about a transcript from reputable sources? So far all I’ve seen is wild speculation by untrusted sources.

As of now, all I actually know about this guy is that he shot charlie kirk.

Yeah guys the radical left “want transgender for everyone”!!

Is this seriously a direct quote from the president?

The details of this are so stupid I don’t want to believe it. I don’t want to jump straight to conspiracies before I really know much either, but seriously?

Maybe I just imagine political assassins to be more careful and intentional than they really are.

Personally I doubt most of these people are genuinely worried about being harassed by the state for publicizing those beliefs. In some cases maybe they should be worried, but in reality I think most of them are more concerned with social pressures.

If you voice those opinions, hordes of people will attack you for it. And that’s a product of both wide spread conservatism influencing real peoples view of the situation, and social media platforms actively crushing dissent and pushing the narrative that aligns with their interests.

In all likelihood my comments, despite being made with no vpn or tor, will never result in any action taken against me. That’s simply because I don’t pose any material threat to the state or its power. America maintains its illusion of freedom by explicitly allowing dissent, as long as it doesn’t have teeth. I am simply not worth the trouble.

Its in moments like these that I really appreciate non corporate social media. Everywhere outside the fediverse all I see is people freaking out, acting like this is the first shooting to ever happen in the united states. Even supposed leftists are just like “I don’t agree with the man but no one deserves to get killed over their beliefs”.

They seem to have forgotten that people get killed over way dumber shit all the time. Personally I care about all the other shootings a lot more than this one. Especially the school shooting in Colorado that happened the same afternoon, which is being mostly ignored.

There are even lots of comments that condemn anyone making light of his death, or even just making comments about his politics. This dissent they condemn is almost nowhere to be found though, because algorithms bury it all straight to the bottom. The only opinion allowed to be seen is “I’m horrified look at me”.

Coming back to a place where a real discussion can be had makes me realize just how important this project really is. We need more spaces that we truly own.

This person has a very interesting relationship with their rep. I’ve never even met my congressmen personally.

I disagree with the sentiment that it can’t be a useful term simply because you haven’t found a peer reviewed study describing the phenomenon. I would like to see more research be done, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m seeing the issue directly in front of my eyes.

I do think it’s fair to describe it as a men’s issue. Because its usually describing loneliness caused by a disconnect with the image of masculinity you’ve been taught, and that which you actually exhibit. Everyone struggles with loneliness, but this is a specific kind of loneliness that is worth discussing in isolation.

My main issue with it is how a lot of men seem to think its referring to women not wanting them. It’s a very easy term to feed their persecution complex.

Or don’t. Decent satire but absolutely horrible episode. I almost did a spit take at the ending. Its barely even a coherent story.

I’ve literally studied the creation of Unix yet they lied so confidently I was still questioning if I had just missed this somehow

Personally I can’t picture an ICE agent that is anticipating a regime change within their lifetime, but I could be wrong.

I don’t know much about the military, but I am very familiar with the marching arts. Discerning between two different tempos and keeping your feet in time with only one of them is a lot harder than it sounds. Unless there is time allotted to learning that skill specifically, I doubt any group of soldiers are going to do it flawlessly.

They may not fall apart, but its not going to look pretty. And apparently, it didn’t. If every soldier is capable of doing this, then why is there a whole post about how badly they did it?

True, but keeping time with the steps of those around you while music is playing at a completely different tempo is not something I would trust a non-musically trained soldier to do well.

Hear my stern words about how the time for stern words is over

Well that’s kind of a given, I was looking for something more practical. Getting that many people on the same page about something that could easily have catastrophic consequences for all of them is not a trivial task.

And how do you propose this be coordinated?

You sound like the alpha male people. We’re not wolves. We are capable of complex conversation, and we can behave properly out of respect for others and not out of fear.

Maybe children would be less receptive to tate-like figures if it didn’t seem like the whole world wanted them dead.

Beating children into submission might be convenient for you, but its almost certainly not the correct way to handle the situation.
