    Plus, people have said that public behaviors in many red states are that people are “pleased” with the result.

    Just this weekend I had to overhear a conversation about how terrible trans people are, and how good it was that trump is doing things about it.

    I would, if she were to go out with a public opinion that it was okay for trump&allies to call black people niggers and sell them into slavery. I wouldn’t do it on a public internet forum, most likely, but I would do it to her face. It’s following the (her, in this example) premise to its natural conclusion and it’s supposed to be extremely jarring and uncomfortable. It’s similar to satire, where it takes trust to know that the person ‘performing’ isn’t actually espousing what is being acted… which is why an internet forum like here, where nobody trusts nada, isn’t the proper place to do it. Directly responding to them on bluesky like there? More acceptable.










  • It’s amusing how things you never expect to be seen by others suddenly go intercontinental because your company likes them. I have a friend who retired from her corporate job about 15 years ago. She had an excel document (that I guess became some sort of super document, I dunno, I’m not into that sort of stuff), and it worked so well for her work that it became the company standard for a gigantic multinational corporation (they’re one of the ones you always hear involved in US wars), and whatever she did couldn’t be changed once she left.

    That means she occasionally still gets contacted about her mildly suggestive name for the file. It references testicles and corporate greed in one go round.
