Well, technically, there’s a second time

The best mini stroke they’ve ever seen.

I might have to agree.

Yup because negative consequences weren’t a thing before the guy was shot

since hes now going to be a rallying cry for action against “the left”.

If you haven’t heard any before, you might want to check with your ENT physician.

In the famous of words of John Wick… “Consequences.”

Consequences indeed

When I hear Nazi I think of concentration camps and killing Jews. Kirk was a big supporter of Israel.

Well, Israel didn’t exist when the NSDAP did, so if you apply the literal meaning of each, a Nazi couldn’t support Israel. But fascism was also something that only applied to the party in power in Italy from 1922 to 1945. The terms have somewhat evolved since then; fascism generally meaning authoritarian, ultranationalistic and antiliberal. The same applies to nazism, but usually with some racist ideology with hatred for other religions.

Nah, it’s the same playbook every time. You have dangerous right wing rhetoric justifying violence (as seen in this thread, even by Kirk himself) that leads to political violence and the right is just “this is deserved” (see J6 or the attack on democratic lawmakers), but when it hits themselves, suddenly political violence is the worst and collective pearl-clutching starts. These people have created a dangerous atmosphere that they can’t control and it’s backfiring, there was never an attempt from them to defuse it.

People like Kevin Roberts who threaten revolutions with thinly veiled violence etc… btw my personal theory is that Kirk was shot by a right wing lunatic who was disappointed in Kirk’s 180 on the Epstein files which went from something like “this is the biggest conspiracy in history, never trust the government” to “I trust my friends in the government” over a weekend. They have created an atmosphere of “you need to fight those in power by any means necessary” and now they find themselves in an awkward spot.

Anyhow, everybody in the thread you replied to just did what Kirk ask them to. Not show empathy, not let the victims emotionally hijack the narrative. He made the world a worse place, I don’t know if it’s gonna be better without him but I have no reason to believe otherwise.

I recognize him! He sat on the couch while you picked up the food that I delivered. He seemed like a funny guy

A twitch chatter used the same term in Atrioc’s stream where this was presented, saw it on YouTube and had to laugh

People are hating on Powershell way too much. I don’t like its syntax really but it has a messy better approach to handling data in the terminal. We have nu and elvish nowadays but MS was really early with the concept and I think they learned from the shortcomings of POSIX compatible shells.

Fortunately, it was the imaginary half, dislocated from the real one

In addition to what others have already said (McD paying above minimum wage), only you paying more leads to the following:

• your competitors gain an advantage as they have lower labor cost
• only a tiny fraction of your customers have more disposable income because the rest of the population is unaffected
• and even then, for that tiny fraction, you’d have made more money if you hadn’t paid it to them in the first place, because they’re not spending it all on you, and also taxes

So for them, they need to make sure their competitors pay more money to their employees.

Also, their food is garbage, you’re doing yourself a favor not eating there.

Every other doctor agreed

The 4k you find on streaming services can’t really be compared to the 4k you find on Blu-ray. It’s a different league. Turns out bitrate actually matters

Maybe if we curve the TV?

The difference is that tourists are not a somehow disadvantaged group. My livelihood isn’t endangered because I can’t go to a tourist spot in Spain somewhere without being heckled (though, when I actually was in Spain, everyone was nice, but Madrid isn’t that much of a tourist spot compared to others).

Also, in some cases, it isn’t “the rich” – I too love to point out the issues they cause – but sometimes, it’s just ordinary people hoping to make a quick buck buying up property to rent it out on AirBNB. Yes, it’s also rich foreigners getting property everywhere for themselves, which is a problem. But “the rich” don’t bother with AirBNB, they just build hotels, and these normally don’t compete with normal housing.

Raceism, specifically centering around skin colour and related features, is actually pretty recent and pretty Western.

If I may take a guess, it’s also because up until historically recently, larger groups of ethnicities didn’t know that other such groups existed. To be racist, you need to be aware of people you’d clarify as another race

It’s not like homophobia (or, say, racism) is unique to western civilizations.

It’s funny how the bigots insist that only what your birth certificates states is relevant for anything except for when they don’t like what it says.

First shampoo bar I tried was garbage, I tried a different brand and had much better results

The details will be revealed kinetically

What a terrible day to be able to read
