That’s a terrible way to describe something, given that the position of posts changes on a forum. “The post by SophiesBoyfriend” just below yours is currently this post.

I’m guessing you meant this other one.

An archive of the article. It doesn't appear to be exactly the site OP has screenshotted, but it's very, very close, to the degree that I assume it's the same article on some sort of news aggregator/article rehosting thing.

Anyway, the notable parts are:

A) This is an incident that occurred last year. It's being reported on now because he's being sentenced... but he wasn't arrested for this; no, he was arrested after a separate case of him brandishing a knife (which isn't given any more detail in this article).

B) The sentence is, naturally... 30 days rehabilitation activity and 150 hours of unpaid work as part of his sentence. (The article says "part" of his sentence, but also strongly implies he wasn't sent to prison. Although it's kind of badly written... it makes it sound like the court recorder or maybe his lawyer are the ones saying they're giving him a second chance, but that would make no sense so I assume it's a comment from the judge).

Anyway, assuming my reading of this bad article is correct, he was spared prison because it wouldn't be helpful to rehabilitating him, since, as his defense described him, he is "immature, highly suggestive to negative influences with a 'markedly low IQ'."

The obvious questions: could anything rehabilitate him, is there any reason to believe he won't reoffend, what is the value of having a violent, dumb, homeless guy allowed to roam free at all, do not seem to have come up.

He's a white leftist,

Do you believe that a Black, Asian, or Hispanic leftist would somehow be more aware of and intelligent about their assessment of small-town libraries, or kinder in their opinion of small-town Whites?

jerk off to cartoon caterpillars.

I don’t really think I want to know what this means, and yet I’m curious….

I don’t remember it being a broken mess on release. I remember that it had kernel anticheat that kept some people (including me) away, but I thought the game itself functioned fine and was actually quite populace. As far as I know, the big issues happened with mismanagement after release—the PSN account thing, disappointing balance patches, etc.

Maybe I’m misremembering because I never played, though.

That isn't really what I said. I said Christianity produced a mostly functional society, not that it was perfect or immune to leftism or any of the other stuff you said.

RFK is a meme that has no chance.

And even if he did, he's still worse than Trump. He's not a radical breath of fresh air or anything, he's just not as bad as the rest of his party. He still talks about reparations and climate change and stuff.

Yeah, but that's all to the first point, which I agreed with. It's still a physical object which exists in the absence of electricity, internet, computing, etc. It's not digital.

You’re mostly right about the “no concrete value”part, but they are in no way “digital.” Unless we’re doing a convoluted bit where we say that you have to hold them with your fingers and therefore….

I think that what we're seeing is that it turns out it's not as easy to create an irreligious society as Dawkins may have hoped. In fact, it may even be impossible. You root out the trappings of religion, and something else that doesn't call itself a religion takes its place... but it turns out the new thing sure behaves a lot like a religion, and now it's what's shaping your society's mores. Christianity, whether you believe in it or not, mostly produced a reasonable, well-ordered society. Leftism... not so much.

Regarding Yandex and Brave, I'd suggest that maybe people on this forum, using those search tools, don't need to be given baby's first redpill. At least, I'd certainly hope not. In which case it's a little silly to be saying that you're using a "proven redpill method." If your idea is that people retain information more, in general, when they search for it themselves, then you shouldn't be saying "redpill method" at all. It confuses the point. And it may be true, but you also need to balance it with other concerns, like the aforementioned points about information preservation, or if the person you're hoping will go out and search cares enough to look up—in this case—some random reddit thread about reddit nonsense. After all, if your logic worked in 100% of cases, then why not make a bunch of posts that are just titles? Things like "Hey, did you guys hear about [X]?" and "Did you see what [person] said about [thing]?"

If that suggestion sounds vapid to you—if it makes you say "why not provide more information to get the discussion started"—then I submit to you: don't bother! make them look it up! It's a proven redpill method!

As for point C, what does point C, or anything I said, have to do with "despair"? Are you some kind of nutcase? All I'm saying is that this post isn't even very noteworthy or interesting and that your logic is bad.

A) The point of an archive is to prevent editing/deletion. Which is definitely a concern on Reddit.

B) Your “proven redpill method” is to rely on Google or Bing providing unbiased information, and not 10 links about why whatever search term is far right misinformation?

C) You reflexively say this shit whenever anyone asks for an archive, and it’s dumb for the reasons above, but in this case, what is even the redpill? Redditors saying normal feminist stuff? If you really hate archiving that much, a better argument here would be that there’s no point—even if this screenshot was fake, I’m sure that anyone could find a dozen other threads just like it in ten minutes.

alarming Senate defense hawks who are pushing for legislation to counter novel aerial incursions into the US

I do want our border secured against drones, be they for smuggling or any other purpose, but I’m confused as to what new legislation would be necessary to accomplish that. Surely such incursions would already fall under the remit of the border patrol or military? If they need new equipment for that, surely a procurement process exists? Just have them do their damn jobs instead of staffing them with diversity hires that high five illegals.

The guy you’re replying to is being a little bit obtuse about his bit, but it’s also obvious you clicked on neither of the links he supplied as explanation of the bit.

I'm confused as to how you're the same account saying this and also talking about bluetooth signals coming from the graves of people who had the shot elsewhere in the thread. There's a disconnect here that I'm not understanding.

I don't know if a formal study ever happened, but I don't recall seeing athletes get heart attacks until after the vaccine rolled out. If it was an actual rare symptom of covid, I would have expected to see it happen before and after the existence of the vaccine.

In that case, though, why wait this long? Why not have Biden step down six months to a year into his first term?

I’d say it’s clear they’re both scorpions here, it’s just a question of which one has the more potent venom or greater ability to sting.

He understands perfectly: free speech is an inconvenience for him and his allies, so they work to chop it up and whittle it down through a series of lies and exceptions. There is no misunderstanding on his part, just desire for power.

Not if it happened to a white person or conservative.
