Buuuuuullshit it did. I’m out here and it’s getting crowded.

I was getting gang roasted all last night over a “violence bad” comment on this “violence good” post, so… Maybe? I also kinda get why people talk so much shit about .ml now

I barely have one, and really don’t have much of an idea what yours is or why there’s an argument here! Clearly and simply my ass. People are so damn angry and afraid right now, across the world. The closest thing I have to a “stance” here is that things are really dang bad in the US right now and it sucks to see our bullshit pushing/dragging the rest of the world into fascism along with us. Boycotting a band who’s music and ideals you both enjoy because of what country they’re from is right up there with changing your snack food names as far as self owns go, that shouldn’t even be on the table. Anywhere near the table! A flag waving, anthem singing sense of national pride is not a good thing. It is a weapon every state uses against its people. The other guy’s “I guess we’ll make an exception for mackelmore this time” reminded me way too much of the shit we were hearing here 20 years back about any countries that didn’t want to come party in Iraq with us, and it’s like. Fuck, not again, why can’t we learn, please let someone do better

The “probable result” I’m so damn frustrated by is continuing to emulate our behavior as a response to our behavior and ending up with concentration camps of your own in another 20 years. People are people, nations are bullshit, I don’t have any answers and it’s past my bedtime. Hold hands with anyone you can and try to build a better world

Freedom Fries were an absolute legendary self own, an archetypal self own, an all too poignant metaphor for the crass fear-based manipulation and prideful chest-beating by which a nation was led to act against its own interests by fundamentalists, oil executives, and good old fashioned war profiteers

…can you really not see any relevance here?

This reads like a slightly drunk “tarps off bud”, not looking to fight with you man. I prefer learning from others mistakes, but some we just have to make for ourselves and “history repeats itself” is a classic for a reason. Good luck up there, eh?

Me from the bottom of this hole: jump then, I guess

The way hollywood is going these days it just might be! :D

But why would a table think about those things? I sure don’t. It’d probably be more into like, bearing loads. I bet it likes when lots of people put full plates around its edge and doesn’t when you stand on the middle to change a light bulb

Me I’m more into alternative energy schemes

More called out than sued, it’s like the shitposter’s “just a prank” :p

The strong “we” there is the nationalism I was warning against again. Macklemore, like most people, is an individual. I’m glad you’re able to judge him on his own merits. I can’t give exact numbers, but can guarantee most Americans have no interest in threatening you. That’s being done by maybe a few thousand people who are threatening the rest of us too. I’m old, remember “Freedom Fries” all too well, and just don’t like watching history repeat itself yet again. This was not meant as a judgment but a warning, and I sincerely hope you can avoid the same pitfalls that made “us” “your” enemy in the first place. Good luck up there.

Everything has feelings and intelligence. Even you, dumbass ;)

I’d uh, watch it on the nationalism bud. Not working out real well here. You’ve got a lot more in common with most Americans than either of us do with our respective governments. Like… boycotting Kid Rock and Metallica etc makes sense, lumping this guy in there is counterproductive, preemptively purity testing his potential lineup is giving me flashbacks to Freedom Fries

I would suggest reviewing the usage instructions on the packaging with your wife, but this is quite likely a part of why I do not have one :p

Teeny tiny individually packaged preportioned laundry detergent shooters

There are no words. I love them.

I’m not sure of the kindest way to put this. Anyone can do what Aaron did. Each moment is a choice. Externalizing that kind of heroism is disempowering. The main thing stopping people is a brutally enforced lack of hope. That is exactly what eventually stopped him. His legacy has been built on, the work is nowhere near complete, and there is so much room for each and every one of us to continue making impactful contributions. He made reddit, we’re on lemmy, who knows what’s next? It’s only with time that these actions seem larger than life. In the moment, to follow your morality is all that’s necessary to keep moving towards a better world.

I took pride in my rock heap before seeing op’s well ordered and preserved inventory. Maybe I’ll go out and put a tarp over it today. Thanks

I feel so seen lol

I wouldn’t worry too much about sportfishing man. It’s essentially impossible for us to cause a problem with rods and reels, even long line for the subsistence folks is essentially negligible compare to factory bottom trawlers. Just the bycatch from one set on those things has a bigger impact than a thousand sportfishers hitting their limits all season. Really all the points people have made ITT about hunting vs factory farming apply here pretty well too
