SARGE

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

Well, I know what other video I'm never watching.

And people wonder why I don't like being around any vehicle that carries things...

If it's what I'm thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That "only someone experiencing ultimate suffering" can make?

If you know, you know.

That's how I've been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say "Twitter" though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.

I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn't let you forget.

Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.

And if we aren't allowed to vote.... Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I'm willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.

I can only imagine what bullshit I'm going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn't doing well but the EU and Canada are.

When someone informs him it's named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense

Hi, gender is a spectrum and while I fully identify as male and straight*, I had long hair as a child. If my school had tried to cut my hair by force, I would have absolutely thrown hands, and I was not a small child. Apparently I pushed a teacher into a wall as a first grader but I have no memory of doing so.

Hair is not "gender conforming" unless you're the most vanilla, thinks-flour-is-spicy, "mayonnaise has too much flavor" basic bitch in the universe. If you really think hair has two genders "long and short" then you are just the saddest sack of shit.

Hair is whatever the fuck you want it to be. I decided I didn't want long hair anymore, so I started getting it cut short. I even had it around 1/4in at one point just because of how easy it was to be done with. Now it's long because before I got married, my now-wife said she liked when it was longer, so I'm growing it out again until we decide it's long enough or I get tired of it again. If I wanted to shave most of it right now, I can do that. Nobody controls my hair but me, and nobody has any say in how I keep it, short of safety concerns. (protip: hair ties and a hair net when working with rotary tools, once you've seen a video you never want it to happen to you)

Get the fuck out of here with this weak ass bullshit policing children's hair.

They won't be happy until everyone is a straight white silent and obedient clone of each other.

*It's a spectrum, sometimes I want to feel pretty so if you had to stick me in a hole I'd say I'm straight but I'm sure someone could make a convincing argument that I'm at least a little fluid.

"just doing my job" isn't really relevant when your job is literally destroying democracy to assist a fascist neo-nazi regime

Yes, quitting "in protest" is an option, but why do that when you can just collect a paycheck and be a shitty as possible at your job until you get fired?

"oh sure thing boss I'll get right on this deletion thing" 6 days of fucking around on the fediverse later, websites still unchanged "oh yeah I'm working on it, top priority!"

I get fear of retribution if they figure out you're doing it on purpose to sabotage efforts but like.... How many people are actually bothering?

I can't imagine someone in the firing squad trying to say "I was just doing my job", it's not the same thing as the guy working in the lunchroom. The only difference in my opinion is the firing squad kills people and the guy at the computer kills information, democracy, morality, common sense etc...

You can't say you were just doing your job when your job is "destroy this information"

Yes, it's "just a small part" but even the Great Wall of China is made of smaller bricks/slabs. The whole can't exist without the separate pieces.

I'm a little rambly, apologies. I hope I've made a coherent point.

Exactly what I was thinking.

When you're cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don't wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don't respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.

It's 9v1, if you're scared just wait until they're asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica

Don't bother looking for a body.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that "you just read the title" and now they're mad for being called out.

Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.

Companies sure so have a lot of "glitches" and "technical difficulties" when they're introducing controversial features that forces it on a group of people, only to be nearly immediately removed with all kinds of excuses..... And then the feature is forced for everyone within a few months.

Almost like it's NOT unintentional, they're NOT experiencing technical difficulties, and they're actually just testing the waters before diving in, with neatly 0 intent to pull back unless the consumers put upenoigh of a fuss the company execs get scared.
