Yeah, I feel that this proves 1 of 2 things: either that Harvard’s Admissions Board is in fact racist, or that affirmative action was actually causing an uneven playing field.

P.S. whether or not creating an uneven playing field is right or wrong is an entirely separate issue.

Since we are “what-about-ing” like there is no tomorrow:

I had a feeling that there had to be some (just a couple…) friends included in that sweeping action.

We would have a detailed list of names and addresses, their ties to the President and whether or not they ever had even a sip of Russian made Vodka (which is of course grounds to label them a Russian asset) if it was Trump doing this.

Oh look. It’s the paid account that comments on every fucking post.

I hope you are a biological female and follow these tenets. Humanity has no need for your tainted genealogy.

But we all know you are a male incel that lives in some basement, so we should be fine.

Just stop.

Nintendo people: First time?

I whole heartedly agree with you. Context and language does matter.

That’s why using the term “ban” is completely disingenuous. There are some books that were removed from school libraries (and in a very small amount of cases, city public libraries) based on their subject matter. These books were still WIDELY available to purchase in book stores and online.

Nothing was “banned”. They were just removed from public school libraries.

Yeah, Lemmy was super against Swift during the election.

Just stop all of the hypocritical bullshit already.

Lol! Those “Magats”, as you so lovingly refer to them, are generally the people that buy cans for their 9mm pistols.

Thank a Trump supporter for this one.

Don’t worry. This will all be forgot in 4 years and you all will be calling your peers “idiot Russian bots” for not falling in line with whatever candidate the DNC shoves down everyone’s throats.

Shit, they will probably run this guy and you all will dance and sing and call anyone who doesn’t support him a Nazi.

You conveniently left out gender transition of minors from your list of horrible acts.

But that’s hip and cool these days (just like all of the things on your list once were), so it’s totally fine.

Save your hyperbole for people like yourself who fold when some rando on the internet calls them a genocide supporter (see 2024 election results for more information).

I see the world for what it is: a race to control all remaining resources.

But, when people in power can so easily trick their subordinates into thinking they are magnanimous leaders, why not exploit it?!

Naivety makes for easy manipulation. Which is why you are in the position you are currently in.

Yup. That’s exactly what I said!

/s with a heavy eye roll

Lol! A better comparison would be what the US did (and is still doing) in the Middle East.

You think Russia isn’t motivated by full control of oil production? You don’t think that’s why we are so heavily involved?

Of course you don’t. “Daddy Government” convinced you this is a war about protecting “western values” and “freedoms”. And you NUM NUM NUM NUM NUMMIED that garbage down so you could feel warm in your widdle tummy.

How do you even know about condoms or where to stick it if you don’t even know what’s happening?

I feel like this is more an issue of “survival of the fittest”, not a failing of any education.

Let these morons die out already!

A resistance coalition isn’t insurrection when it’s a left leaning coalition.

No. Generally, they think to themselves, “I really hope I don’t say anything that will offend any family members.” But then they comment on the “oriental rug” and get yelled at and called a problematic bigot and uninvited to any and all future family get togethers.

The red hat wearing, racist, Nazi, “fuck your feelings” caricature that the internet has made out of anyone who is not a Democrat is just as wrong and hateful as the blue haired, gender fluid, “punch my Nazi family members in the face” caricature that the internet has made out of anyone who is not a Republican.

You guys need to stop buying in to stereotypes!

So it wasn’t Democrats and Anti-Trumpers that have been threatening me with WW3 to convince me not to vote for him?

It was Russians and conservatives?

You just don’t get it!

People in the Lemmy bubble are smarter and have more self control than anyone in history!!

They can make it work!!

Oh, you weren’t talking about the American media kabal?

Sorry, your description matched so well.

OP: Blue haired girl meme!! Lol!

Chat: “Ok boomer!”

This place is like a retirement home after 3 in the afternoon.

I started thoroughly cleaning my bellybutton after my wife started digging her finger into it to get all the lint like a greedy dwarf while i was lying in bed.

It feels weird!!
