Honestly I feel it is so, so optimistic to believe any hardcore Democratic supporter will ever blame Biden if he loses.

Order of blame assigned:

1. The FUCKING LEFTISTS for being critical of him, which means none of them voted for him and also they’re responsible for anyone else that didn’t vote!!
2. Gen Z and/or Millennials, for some reason
3. People who live in areas where their vote counts for less (ie, anyone in a city or a populous state)
4. Oh I guess the Republicans shouldn’t have run Trump and then voted for him

Conservative (and let’s be real, also neoliberal) Christians hate that verse. There are so few places in the NT where Jesus explicitly says “you will go to hell for this,” and that’s one of them. They get extremely uncomfortable if you make them think about how they believe they will one day have to stand in front of God and explain why they ignored this verse.

So naturally I advocate bringing it up to them as much as possible. There actually are a lot of deeply Christian people who are disturbed by the dissonance there, and for the most part the messaging just isn’t happening. Like, what is the biggest Jesus advertisement campaign right now? Probably the Protestant Buddy Jesus “He gets us” campaign, which doesn’t really say much of anything.

That doesn’t really do much for the other 49 states + DC or say anything meaningful about the decision itself.

You seem to be overlooking that SCOTUS specifically ruled that it is constitutional to charge homeless people $300 for falling asleep outside with a blanket, which is what the thread was about.

The article and ruling isn’t about Portland, it’s about Grants Pass.

At the center of the case is Grants Pass, a city of roughly 40,000 in southern Oregon with ordinances that bar camping or sleeping on public property or in city parks. The city’s rules define “campsite” as “any place where bedding, sleeping bag, or other material used for bedding purposes, or any stove or fire is placed.”

As far as I can find their ordinance has no such exceptions.

And how does charging a homeless person $300 for falling asleep outside with a blanket fix any of that?

This is basically Ballmasterz 9009, if you like weird adult cartoons (made by the same guy that did Superjail).

The year is 2047. Individually tracked pricing algorithms determine prices for each customer. I am the local water man, who everyone pays a small fee to go buy clean water, because my high volume of purchases means I get a slight discount. In only 34 more years I can pay off my 8th grade education and start thinking about a down payment on a double sleeping pod.

This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds.

“If it’s hot outside, we can raise the price of water and ice cream. If there’s something that’s close to the expiration date, we can lower the price — that’s the good news,” said Phil Lempert, a grocery industry analyst.

Jesus, I can’t imagine just coming out and saying this like it’s not fucking deranged to charge people more for WATER during a heat wave.

Also, the first time the price of something rises in the 5 minutes it takes for me to get my shopping done and get to the checkout, I’m taking a shit on the floor.

Lauren Windsor is a documentary filmmaker and executive producer of the grassroots political show The Undercurrent, who posed as a conservative activist at the gala. She used her own name to access the event.

Lmao, incredible event security. I’m pretty sure I’ve been to drag shows with more screening.

Alito being a piece of shit shouldn’t be news to anyone (although it’s always nice to have corroborating evidence of course), what’s shocking to me is that it only costs $500 to get within spitting distance of a SCOTUS judge.

Sorry to hear about your step mom. Yeah, seizures are definitely one of the things they will immediately revoke it over because no doctor wants the liability of telling you that it’s safe for you to drive. If it’s been well controlled for x months (varies by state) usually you can get the license back.

I have a relative that’s had seizures since childhood and on the rare occasion she has a seizure, it’s always another huge stressor to lose her license for at least 6 months on top of having had a breakthrough seizure. Completely necessary obviously, where she lives just absolutely isn’t built for people who can’t drive.

It takes a lot to get your license revoked. I’d be surprised if this does it rather than just being a ding on his insurance rate.

Who could have foreseen that laying off a shit ton of people and working the remaining people into the ground (often under threat of deportation due to visas) would result in costly errors??

-business genius Elon Musk, apparently

So he’s ineligible to run for president as he’s not a natural born citizen, but this made me wonder, are there any laws on who can be VP? What if they’re further down the line of succession, like Speaker of the House or president pro tem. of the Senate? What happens if, through the line of succession, someone who is ineligible to run still becomes president?

The most surprising thing here to me is that someone was buying a 737 Max 3 months ago.

Dems are incompetent even when gifts literally fall into their laps, episode 84726. Why the fuck would you make an attack ad saying “HE’S A CRIMINAL—but don’t worry not a thug, like a white collar one :)”

Fuck!

Whaaat, an app created to enforce sexist norms regarding who counts as a woman did just that?? 😲

Goodbye 👋😙

I literally can’t downvote you or see downvotes, I’m on Blahaj.

If you don’t understand that someone can be homophobic without saying “I’m a homophobe and hate gay people” then you’re just illustrating my point here. Homophobia is welcome in this community as long as you give it the slightest veil.

If you have any questions about how the comments I linked are homophobic I am happy to answer them at any time. At this point you still seem uninterested.

Please do not contact me again only to attempt to convince me that the user banned from the instance I’m on for being a bigot wasn’t actually being bigoted.

If you can’t finish reading my sentences please don’t respond to me. I clearly stated that I was not trying to say the user called the LGBT community demonic. I’m saying that defending that statement by denying that it even happened or saying that it’s not homophobic because it’s a Christian theological point are themselves forms of homophobia that LGBT people encounter all the time. If you are fine with that then you are fine with homophobia in this community.

If you believe anything else you’ve said has been misrepresented feel free to have a polite discussion with me about it. Right now it seems like you just want me to say that the comments weren’t actually homophobic when they are.

The Blahaj admins had no problems instantly recognizing the account for what it was and banning them as well as removing the homophobic comments. I don’t think I’m imagining homophobia here as you’re implying.

Again, if you have any questions about how this is homophobic I am more than happy to help you understand. But what’s not going to happen is convincing me it’s not homophobic. If that’s your only intent then this conversation is best left here.
