Many labels are used, as an easy way to dismiss anything that might force people to use our critical thinking capabilities and to listen to bias different from our own.

We must continue to be willing to talk and discuss with people that do not think or agree with our way of the world!

@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like someone ignored the obvious sign that this guy needed to be patted down to check him for weapons.

homesweethomeMrL OP ,

Oh he wasn’t in da club, he was running around outside. One imagines in his tighty-whitey underwear, shitfaced and screaming, firing a gun wildly in anger at a woman who is not his lawfully wedded wife. Allegedly.

frisk • The act of frisking, of searching for something by feeling someone’s body.

The customs officer gave me a frisk after I went through the metal detector.

If they’d found anything before his shenanigans, this story about Mr. Friske could have been posted here: feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism

homesweethomeMrL OP ,

Ahhh i see what you did there. Now.

BigMacHole , in ‘Too many old people’: A rural Pa. town reckons with population loss

This is because of SOCIALISM! And if not Socialism it’s because of IMMIGRANTS WHO DON’T EVEN LIVE IN THESE COMMUNITIES! But it 100% is NOT due to Racism or Capitalism killing off Job Opportunities or Bigots or Catholics wanting to Legislate your Bedroom. No it’s DEFINITELY Communist Immigrants causing this!

ImInLoveWithLife ,

Yeah, young folks are moving away because they’ve been indoctrinated in liberal college institutions and lured by a gay communist urban agenda to destroy rural America and bring about the decline of Christian conservative values! Nothing at all to do with capital consolidation and market monopolization resulting in reductions of diversified local markets and diminished job prospects! Increased cultural exposure due to accessing instantaneous global communications and social media? No way that has any influence in the decisions people make about what cultural environment they’d prefer to raise their children in. SmallTown USA is the best place to escape all the scary ideas that exist in the world, like equality among gender and race, and socializing the excesses of the private. Who would want to live in that kind of world?!

IMO, part of it has to do with Trumper school boards, weird conservative county commissioners voting to succeed and school library book bans. I live ‘out here’ and it gets worse every year.

lemmefixdat4u , in Trump floats UFC-style migrant league amid border crisis

Biden needs to start putting up billboards with these Trump quotes, referring folks to his “trumpsucks.com” website, which now simply redirects to the “joebiden.com” website.

foggy ,

Biden admin needs to use their campaign money to pay underemployed 22-30 year olds to be meme lords to help with this campaign.

I see a headline like this and I’m fucking dying. I’m sure some kids younger than me could cook something up from this headline alone that’d connect with plenty of 17-25 year olds.

The election is shaping up to cost $10B across all races. Really a drop in the bucket within our $5T national GDP. Would be nice if some of that money went to working class folks doing productive labor. But I’m betting the lion’s share of it goes to tech and media companies charging four figures an hour to make a photo of a pregnant woman with six fingers stutter out AI generated prompts on who to cheer for.

billiam0202 ,

You think “I’m Eric!” has ever had an original thought?

LostWanderer ,

Once, before the brainwashing took hold, Eric likely had some original thoughts. Now he’s just a younger version of his father, a sad creature doomed to be nothing more than a puppet.

A strong contender for most racist trump quote of the day.

Though it is up against Sr discussing a migrant fighting league, so it’ll be a close one today.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Migrant fighting league?

Soooooo …like, MMA, but Americans are barred from combat?

Is this what he meant by immagrants coming in to our country to take our jobs? Our MMA fighter jobs?

SeaJ ,

I said, 'Dana, I have an idea. Why don’t you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league – these are the greatest fighters in the world – fight the champion of the migrants. I think the migrants’ guy might win, that’s how tough they are.

Dana White said it was a joke but also mentioned:

Trump added that White didn’t like the proposal, but he said it was “not the worst idea I’ve ever had,” calling migrants to the United States “nasty, mean” and “tough people.” White confirmed Trump’s comments at a news conference in Saudi Arabia Saturday.

www.usatoday.com/story/news/…/74185550007/

It may have been a joke but calling migrants nasty and mean is not really funny.

Remote work.

Build homes in the echoes of cities instead of gentrifying shit holes.

Repurpose the corporate offices into affordable housing to fix the growing homelessness problems.

Create less car dependent infrastructure

Make more high density areas car free, and build affordable housing over the parking areas.

Subsidize farms if they use green tech. Subsidize them more if they’re smaller to reincitiveize small farms.

Abolish any ability for any corporation from owning any land not zoned for corporate use. Corporations may not own homes.

Did I mention remote work?

Maeve ,

I'd add corporate farms should not get subsidies.

cerement ,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

the more subsidies, the more transparent EVERYTHING about their operation has to be

Maeve ,

Hear hear!

Soggy ,

Transparency? In the agricultural sector? Madness.

randon31415 ,

Sadly, if you can remotely work from rural America, you can remotely work from rural India.

Spacehooks ,

I’ve worked with India teams in 5 companies. Always bad. we need to rehire Americans to manage/oversight or redo. Ends up costing more. The code and website teams complaints never end but c level Don’t care.

kent_eh ,

End up bad, but for the first couple of quarters that “rock star” MBA has created huge short term profits. And is that what really matters in business these days…

Spacehooks ,

Website example was a small private company with no investors. Like wtf? literally had to redo every web page and suddenly no one cares about the time spent. 6 months earler all huff and puffin “well India says they can do it in a month”. Worst part is they won’t acknowledge the months of work the US team put in to fix website. They only cared they had something even if it was trash.

Maeve ,

Boondoggles/prolifrigates proliferate, unfortunately.

Spacehooks ,

Lol no idea what you mean.

Maeve ,

Basically that people and companies will spend a lot to save a little.

Spacehooks ,

Ugh nightmare. Why don’t they learn!?

Maeve ,

My best guess? A need to protect the image they've constructed to obscure the true self, which probably isn't all that bad, in reality, but feels a misplaced need to compete with the images others have constructed that obscure their true selves. There's a lot to be said for manners, but there's a notable difference between authenticity and faux ego.

skuzz ,

There are plenty of remote work jobs that are hiring globally now, not just the US or India. There are entire companies that are basically 100% ephemeral. Yes, it sucks for US workers that people in other countries are in the same job sandbox, but the jobs also exist. AI won’t change this either, you still need a person that knows the AI is belching out dogshit code, it’ll likely just reduce the number of code monkey jobs.

BradleyUffner , in FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ATTACKED ME FOR MY REPORTING — AND THEY’RE DOING IT TO HIDE INFO FROM THE PUBLIC

Sorry to say this, but regardless of the validity of your claims, the way you present your story, like having everything in capital letters, kinda makes you sound a little like a conspiracy nut. You may want to work on your presentation a bit.

Xanthobilly , in Eric Trump Says Dad’s Criminal Charges Are Attracting Black Voters: ‘Certain Communities Are Coming Over to My Father’

Is it true? My knee jerk reaction is ‘what utter racist bullshit’, but then why is Trump gaining black male voters since the beginning of the year?

pennomi ,

I mean, it might be as simple as “my alternative conservative candidate is no longer in the running”. It could take a lot of diving into the stats to figure out the actual cause and effect.
