and lynching, a form of execution frequently committed against African-Americans.
Lmao, WHAT!?! When was the last time any African American was lynched?! Gotta be at least 50 years ago, right? If not longer.
But no, that happens frequently. Sure, whatever.
I would certainly hope that this isn't a surprise to anyone. Especially around here!
I would loooove to see it!
Huh. Well, good to know! And to echo what others have said, he did have some good points, in a sea of WTF.
I don't come here that often, so I'm not up on the latest board drama.
Did he leave, or something?
WSJ has been using his full name, at least.
I'm not familiar with this picture. Can someone tell me what's happening here? Going off the costumesn photo quality, and context, I'd guess some Communist Chinese destroying something ancient and irreplaceable? What, exactly?
Absolutely nothing will happen, and she will be reelected. Remember when they had video of Marion Barry smoking crack with a hooker? His constituents in DC cough blacks cough STILL voted for him after that happened!
The problem with this subculture is that it glorifies breaking the law, among other things.
I can't really blame you. I stopped going there after I got banned for wrongthink last year.
Quite honestly it seems like I have a lot more free time with no more mindless reddit scrolling!
Wait... you're still on Reddit?
Gross.
3 Empires of Seattle. Don't think I've ever heard that before.
Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft, I guess?
'These people have stared for millenia at the ocean, yet never had the curiosity or wisdom to attempt the building of a ship. Their only concern is what they will eat and drink this day, and where they will sleep this night. They have no apparent concept of future, of aspirations beyond meeting their own physical needs, of art beyond rudimentary scratchings. They in fact seem to have no understanding of the conceptual at all, comprehending only the immediate, the physical and the visible and regarding all else with a childish disinterest or suspicion.'
I'm sorry, what is this even in reference to?
Wasn't this like, 5 years ago, now?
I lurk here wirhout logging in all the time and I have definitely noticed it.
Damnit, title screw-up. Gets banned in 14 markets.
I found this interesting:
Amid backlash over Disney’s initial failure to condemn the bill publicly, animators at Pixar sent a letter to Disney executives saying the company had censored some displays of same-sex affection in Pixar’s movies, according to parts of the letter posted on Twitter.com. “Nearly every moment of overtly gay affection is cut at Disney’s behest, regardless of when there is protest from both the creative teams and executive leadership at Pixar,” the Pixar letter read. “Even if creating LGBTQIA+ content was the answer to fixing the discriminatory legislation in the world, we are being barred from creating it.”
So Pixar wants to push faggotry onto children even more than Disney itself? Wow.
Which is a stupid fucking line from them, if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. Always hated that people somehow thought there was something badass about that. There wasn't. There isn't.
Besides the fact that Sparta had a fork stuck in it from the Peloponnesian War and everybody knew it. Including the Spartans.
This is also a big joke amongst policy wonks on the Middle East (like me).
"Ugh we though Egypt was a good ally, why aren't they condemning Russia!?"
"Because around 50% of their grain imports come from Russia, dumbass. Another 30% come from Ukraine. They aren't gonna condemn anybody. They just hope they can feed their people so another revolution doesn't kick off."
It's absolutely still there as of right now.
Maybe you're looking at the old reddit. They never even bothered to change the old reddit.
Actually the wheat supply is a huge thing that we discuss in diplomatic/former diplomatic circles. The Egyptian government subsidizes bread. Has for decades. Over a quarter of the population lives on government bread. Everybody is wondering when the next shoe is going to drop.
I follow /r/Egypt on my (now perma-banned) Reddit account, because I used to live there in a diplomatic capacity for the US Government.
The Egyptian people are very devout. That includes Muslims an the ~10% or so of the population that is Coptic Christian. The people of Egypt do not countenance homosexuality. Over 90% of Egyptians think it should be a crime.
Also keep another thing in mind when you read Reddit Egypt: a large percentage of their population is illiterate. Those people are even more conservative. The people you see posting on Reddit, from Egypt, lean very left, as far as Egyptian politics is concerned. So basically what you have here is that even the liberals of Egypt don't want this shit.
Who wants to bet the mods of /r/Egypt don't even live there, and furthermore, have never even been there?
Anybody else remember the Sweden Yes! subreddit? I 'member.
Also (not to be Imp1, here) I'm almost certain they are all women.
