Yeah, I just blocked news@lemmy.world because their responses to the whole "Photographer wins right to discriminate" thing were just unhinged.
"Yeah bro he should be able to discriminate against anyone he wants and all businesses should be able to do that" Bro what
Show me someone saying "This is fine", and I'll show you someone who has the privilege to not fear whether they're going to be blocked out of society for the crime of...existing. This is only the first step to "All businesses, including businesses required for life, can discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals". Y'all are unhinged.
Obligatory:
People: But they aren't perfect!
Me (trans): But...I want to live tho
People: But gaza!!!
Me: It is literally illegal for trans minors to get any gender dysphoria treatment in my state and they're drafting bills for adult bans, please help me (and also Republicans would've gone even harder supporting Israel)
People: BoTh SiDeS!!!!
Yeah, TCL was the front-runner when I was looking for a non-smart TV until I saw that. :( I ended up just going with a samsung and hoping for the best. I've not noticed anything annoying, but we're probably going to switch back to a PC hooked up to the TV with all the subscription problems / price jacking lately.
So what magic solution have you come up with that I should be doing?
I vote, I don't own a gun, I try to help people where I can. If you say "Riot" then "You first", because rioting alone just gets you killed.
Also, Light. Who TF names their kid Light and then expects him not to have a god complex?
So...doesn't that mean that 538 is literally just the name with nothing behind it anymore?
How many Palestinians, and Muslims in general, are allowing their judgement to be clouded by the Israel/Gaza situation to the point where they’re actively saying “Down with Biden, consequences be damned”? Some of them are openly willing to accept a Trump presidency simply because it’s not Biden.
I think the thing that really gets me about this sentiment is "Do you really think Donald Trump would've killed fewer Palestinians?" Killing brown people is a Republican past-time at this point. I understand being angry to the point of self-destruction if you think hurting yourself might help someone else, but this isn't even that. It's literally self-destructive and would make the very thing they're mad about worse. For my sanity I have to believe this is like some tiny twitter echo chamber that the media is blowing up for clicks.
I have something called Dr. Squatch's Wood Barrel Bourbon. It's a bit strong for my taste but it smells nice and controls the sweating better than Old Spice Mysterious Ocean Bits (which also smelled good).
