Yeah seriously. Whenever I do a late or a night shift, this guy will think I’m a leeching immigrant. Or maybe he won’t, because my skin isn’t the right color for that?
Besides, I’m from the Netherlands and I’ve known more native “leechers” than immigrant ones.
You’re right, always good to have a buffer.
I do argue that.
I argue that the people who voted for him REALLY wanted him in office and the people who couldn’t be bothered to vote at all were fine with any outcome, including Trump getting into office. So they may not be rabid supporters or active voters, but yes, they do support and enable him.
You know, people often think that not picking a side is some enlightened choice, that by doing nothing you’re actually doing nothing. But nothing is farther from the truth. Doing nothing IS a choice. It’s a choice to stay quiet and silently accept evil. It’s a choice to stay quiet in the face of injustice, it’s a choice to NOT help the victim. Staying neutral always helps the bully.
And we all know this. We learned this in kindergarten. Staying quiet always helps the bully. We knew this as kids, we witnessed it. Nobody gets to pretend they don’t understand this dynamic as a grown-up. It is a choice and they made it.
The load time on this is insane. But I got it signed! Not that it really helped much, both my own country and my country of residence had already reached the threshold.
But still, it’s about time for an EU-wide ban on this barbaric shit.
There are plenty of people, myself included, who prefer to be corrected, because otherwise how will we learn? If nobody corrects us, we’ll keep making the same stupid mistakes.
If someone doesn’t want to be corrected, they are free to ignore it and to continue doing it wrong.
Yes, you can. When you can’t get off your ass to vote, then you’re basically saying that you’re fine with whatever happens. In this case risking fascism, which apparently was good enough for them.
By not voting, you’re enabling whoever wins.
Ah a registry to track undesirables. Jesus fucking christ.
You know if you allow this, they’ll expand it to other groups as well, right? I am constantly amazed that full-blown riots haven’t started. Peaceful protesting isn’t doing it, you guys.
Unless of course you’re all just very excited for those arm tattoos.
So now there’s supposedly a second festival, of the same name, and am I getting this right, organized by the same dude who was already convicted? And Mexico is saying they have no knowledge of any such event?
I guess they bet on people being idiots - falling for it a second time - and it seems they were right.
Ah I guess that’s another one for my to-watch-list!
I honestly had to look up what Fyre festvial is. Never heard of it, but
Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival organized by American businessman Billy McFarland and American rapper Ja Rule. It was originally created to promote the company’s Fyre app for booking music talent.
Sounds like a real loss, that.
All other idiocy aside, this number is just so fucking offensive. 10k, really? That’s it?
You do if you’re from a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. I mean, it’s not a requirement on the U.S. side, but still.
I just can’t imagine how hopeless these people must feel. It’s a fucking nightmare. You’re accused of something you haven’t done (not that anyone deserves this, even if they are criminals), there’s no way for you to even make anyone listen to you and you’re dumped in a prison in a foreign country with no hope of ever getting out? It’s just… jesus christ, the injustice of it all is simply heartbreaking.
To think that millions of people are actually cheering for this is terrifying. If I were American, I’d be terrified. If “illegals” can’t have due process, then nobody has due process, because how are you going to prove you’re a citizen without due process? They can literally grab you off the street and send you to a concentration camp and there’s nothing you can do about it, because all they have to do is claim you’re illegal.
I honestly don’t understand how all these people in power are even still alive.
In Dutch we have that saying too. “Blaffende honden bijten niet.” Barking dogs don’t bite.
Oh I can definitely not claim it either. Someone said it ages ago, and I stole it.
Yeah same, I guess time flies when you’re bombarded with shit 24/7
I should go. <3
The mierdas touch!
Florida is on it already.
Florida considers bill to roll back child labor laws to fill jobs once held by undocumented migrants
They want minors to work night shifts and encourage people to home school their kids, so they can work more! Yay, progress.
Edit: Oh and they want to pay them below minimum wage!
I have always felt bad for ‘non-practicing’ pedophiles. It must be a horribly lonely thing to go through. Not only are you universally hated, but you have desires and longings you can -never- act on, a need that can -never- be fulfilled. Add to that the isolation… it must be hell. And all because of something they can’t change. And the worst thing about it is that the hatred is so understandable. Where someone’s kids are involved, of course they won’t take any risks. Of course they’re going to lash out at anything and anyone that might be dangerous. It’s a visceral thing.
But you’re right. This idea that every pedophile wants to rape kids is probably very damaging. Not just to the pedophiles themselves, but also the kids around them. When you push someone into a secret corner where they can’t talk to people about their issues, where they can’t be honest, can’t get help… you’ll only make sure that some of them don’t look for help, when they might have otherwise. Someone with nothing to lose is more dangerous than someone with some social net.
Maybe I would feel different if I had kids myself, but I have always approached it from a rational point of view. Does every heterosexual guy rape women? Does every heterosexual woman rape men? Does every gay man rape men? No, of course not. Being attracted to someone obviously doesn’t mean you will end up raping them. Especially when romantic feelings are involved… most people don’t want to hurt the people they’re in love with. So why assume that every pedophile rapes children? I am no expert, but I assume there are way more people with these feelings than we would like to know. Luckily most humans have some sort of self-control.
Lubeegi!
