frog_brawler , in “Gay Furry Hackers” Claim Credit for Hacking Heritage Foundation Over Project 2025

Do the Gay Furry Hackers accept donations?

PenisWenisGenius , in Families urge judge to block law forcing display of ‘Protestant version of the Ten Commandments’ before kids return to public school in Louisiana

So let me get this straight… The controversy isn’t that the ten commandments are required to be on display. The issue is that all the different Christian denominations want THEIR version of the ten commandments on display.

Fuck it. At this point they should make it so every religion in existence should get a 3x5 card to post whatever tf they want in schools and then they can just have a wall of commandments. It’s only fair. Let everyone in.

holdthecheese ,

The lawsuit mentions catholics and Jews as having different versions but also other faiths that don’t have the concept of the ten commandments. It’s an ACLU is representing.

fuck yeah

Etterra , in “Gay Furry Hackers” Claim Credit for Hacking Heritage Foundation Over Project 2025

When horrible people (furry) hurt other horrible people (Republicans).

I guess I’m rooting for the lesser of two evils again, but it’s not a victory I enthusiastic about. Anyway, suck it fascists.

aStonedSanta ,

Don’t assume all furries or all republicans are horrible. Then you are being just like the republicans man.

todd_bonzalez ,

Oh, c’mon now, we are well beyond the point of giving Republicans any claim to decency. The entire party has fallen to Fascism. They’re on the same trajectory as the the Nazi party pre-holocaust, and on the same trajectory to be just as evil.

The entirety of Republicanism is centered around hatred of minority groups. They don’t even care about economics anymore, they just want to exterminate trans people and reverse civil rights.

As for flurries, they are a rather wonderful queer subculture full of compassionate creative people who love to share their love for anthropomorphism with others.

To compare the two is quite insulting. One group is a group of people who wants to have fun and be happy, the other group wants to see the first group dead.

It’s not difficult to pick a side.

Fridgeratr ,

Furries are not horrible people. Weird with weird preferences sure, but FAR from horrible.

kaffiene ,

Wtf are on about? What have furries ever done to you?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I have no idea, but this isn’t the first time they’ve gotten irrationally upset about them:

Yeah I’m not too happy with all the kids, mostly because they largely ruined animal humanoids with their weird furry BS, and they think Critical Role is some kind of good demonstration on what a real session is like and not a well funded production.

lemmy.world/comment/11069488

That was a in a thread about D&D and the creator’s sexism.

Also, I haven’t met too many furries, but the ones I’ve met seemed like decent people.

WhatYouNeed ,

'the ones I’ve met seemed like decent people."

Squid hits the nail on the head here. Furries are just being themselves, which we are always told we should be. Until some old fart gets all twisted up on hate by preach everyone should be as bitter and twisted as they are.

Hell, there are so many more pressing issues in the world to deal with. Who cares who love whom or what. Let’s focus on the bigger issues like corruption, greed, and tribalism. Who fucken cares if Fred loves Fred, or Jane wants to marry Jane.

I want to worry about how many dollars are getting stuffed into political or judicial pockets. That’s the real issue.

smokebuddy ,

the Sam Bankman-Fried FTX trial kind of told it all when it came out in sworn testimony that politicians are such a value buy, and to get media all over your Democratic bribes, but best to keep the equal RNC ones dark. How could you be blind to the Supreme Court justices being bought? But look! some people are fighting on an airplane, people tweeted about tipping culture and omg somebody old trended and people thought they died but not yet!

WhatYouNeed ,

It’s the Dead Cat strategy.

Phegan ,

How are furries bad? Maybe they have a weird kink and / or hobby, but hey, let them live their lives.

todd_bonzalez ,

What the fuck is wrong with furries?

GBU_28 ,

Bro you’re on Lemmy. It’s mostly furries here. How did you think this comment would go?

Etterra ,

I’m not concerned with points or score. I cannot abide bestiality-adjacent people who have a disproportionally high number of groomers in their community. I may not be able to stop them from being an abomination, they should absolutely be on some kind of watchlist. You be an apologist if you want, I can’t stop you, but I won’t let it be sugar coated whether y’all want to admit there’s a problem or not.

GBU_28 ,

I didn’t apologize for anything or side with anything

HawlSera ,

Any group is comprised of groomers and bestiality practitioners if you tell yourself they are and refuse to actually look into what they represent.

littlecolt ,

Ironic you’re on a post like this preaching hate and misinformation. Bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it turns out for ya.

ResoluteCatnap ,

Citation needed. Tbh this sounds like a fascinating dataset but I’m skeptical it even exists.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Huh. I hear drag queens and trans people have a high number of groomers in their community. I used to hear it about gay men too (and sometimes still do). I wonder if that’s actually just a lie designed to demonize a marginalized community?

Oh, but I’m sure it’s true this time.

todd_bonzalez ,

“beastiality-adjacent”? Furries HATE Zoos. Don’t even go there. If you cross that line you will be exiled from the Furry community. They will doxx you and they will beat your ass if you ever show up to another con. Whatever you think you know about the furry community, you are dead wrong. Zoophiles are disgusting and Furries will single them out and throw them under the bus when we find them.

Animals are friends, not mates. Furries have plenty of other Furries to fuck anyway.

HawlSera ,

I remember when it was cool to hate furries on the internet, 2003 was a trip… A trip best not repeated.

Etterra , in Lawyers for megachurch pastor blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact

Ex-fucking-excuse me? Not just victim blaming, but victim blaming a child? I fucking hate living on this planet. Just launch me into the sun already.

InternetUser2012 ,

How about we just launch maga into the sun and then work on saving humanity and our planet.

Revan343 ,

Easier to launch them out of the solar system

mosiacmango ,

The child rapist has literally no defense, so his lawyer is trying the “she was asking for it” card.

The sad part is that this is not a ceiminal case, as there was a statue of limitations back when he was raping her. There no longer is, but that doesnt help her. All she can do is sue him civally. Still, “the 12 year old in pajamas was asking for it” is not gonna help here.

assassin_aragorn ,

Lawyers are obligated to defend even obviously guilty people, but seriously? Victim blaming a child?

I get it, it’s hard to come up with a tenable legal defense when someone is starkly guilty, but this is just gross.

asteriskeverything ,

Yeah thanks for pointing out something that sort of tickled my brain for a while now and made the thought full formed. I’m going to start pointing this out because it is WILD that we have a culture of saving children from the predators and then also blaming children for being preyed on. And it’s just the one side.

How much hypocrisy can someone swallow ffs???

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You know, I’m only five years younger than him, and yet never in my life since I was about 12 years old myself has a 12-year-old so much as flirted with me. This 52-year-old is somehow irresistible to the middle schoolers?

2484345508 ,

How often do adults flirt with you?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Between when I was 12 and now? Enough to be married for almost 24 years.

asteriskeverything ,

Before I could drive and had to walk everywhere??? DAILY

CatZoomies ,
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

Providing just a small correction here. The child was 12 at the time, now 52.

Robert Morris (the accused sexual predator former pastor of the rapist, racist, sexist, traitor, “Christian”, beloved friend of Jeffrey Epstein, and convicted felon Donald Trump) was 22 at the time and now 62.

A 22 year old preying and praying on a 12 year old. Just so disgusting.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Whoops. Sorry. And yeah, no 12-year-old ever flirted with me when I was 22 either. And if they did, I would be smart enough not to reciprocate even if I was interested, which I wouldn’t have been.

CatZoomies ,
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

No prob! I just had to internet search this pastor because I wanted to know just how old his gross ass was when he did that. I think most functioning persons in society would have the same mindset as you shared.

todd_bonzalez ,

I have had a 12 year old flirt with me. It was cute, and I wasn’t tempted to molest her because I’m not insane.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I believe you, but I’m guessing it’s not especially common for a girl as young as 12. They barely understand the concept of flirtation at that age, and these days they probably think they know about sex by seeing internet porn when their parents didn’t know about it.

Anyway, like you said, it’s pretty easy to just not touch the girl.

assassin_aragorn ,

It’s cute when a kid has a crush like that, but that’s all it is, a crush. From someone who doesn’t understand what romance is beyond what’s in pop culture. It’s cute and wholesome.

An adult seeing that and going “hmm, what if” is the exact fucking opposite of cute and wholesome. They’re a freaky ass fella who needs to be locked up.

asteriskeverything ,

When I see the most depraved defense from lawyers like this it just tells me that the person is so fucking guilty that I now suspect them guilty of even more than we know.

Freefall ,

You seem cool…can we launch THEM into the sun instead?

nifty , in World's First Dragon Ball Theme Park to Open in Saudi Arabia - IGN
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

The comments here deriding Saudi Arabia are out of touch with reality. Perhaps post 9/11 racism, I am guessing? But really that’s more of the same historical western attitude towards the Muslim “barbarians”.

Tell me, which country in the world anywhere can claim moral or ethical superiority? I think anyone is better off not believing cultural superiority as that can lead to unsolvable and irredeemable cognitive distortions.

The conservative side of any culture is a shit show, and sadly it’s mostly that side which has been making waves in history.

Do you think their name might possibly rhyme with “rump?” As in “spanked in the rump with a Forbes magazine by a porn star you’re cheating on your wife with?”

Possibly, but that barely narrows it down

RagingRobot ,

If this is such an important matter it kind of makes me wonder why the name isn’t flat out in the title

Because you’d have to be a fool to think it was Biden or Kennedy and there’s really only one other possibility.

In a critical statement, union leaders accused Disney of “unlawful discipline and intimidation and surveillance” of union members.

I’m not surprised. Disney has so many cameras, they probably have them pointed into every house in Orlando at this point.

kerrigan778 , in New York bridge gets stuck open after getting too hot

Ah, we’ve reached the collapsing infrastructure stage of climate change. Oh good.

Duamerthrax ,

At least it’s effecting people responsible for climate change and not small tribes on far out islands like has been up to this point.

kerrigan778 ,

Yaaaaaasaay… 🎉🎉🎉

Sabata11792 ,

Billionaires don’t use bridges. They won’t notice till they can’t fly.

KevonLooney ,

They are definitely not driving between East Harlem and the South Bronx. No rich people live in either of those places and they don’t connect any expensive areas.

Hurricane Sandy was the climate issue that really affected Downtown Manhattan. It’s a big part of the reasons why wealthy people actually care about climate change.

Duamerthrax ,

How much do they care? Also, we’re comparing small, island nations that are losing landmass every year to “First World Nations”. Poor Americans still qualify as rich in this case. Try getting an American to do more about climate change then saying mean things about billionaires online and you’ll see what I mean. So much of it is about their identity and not about action.

KevonLooney ,

People from those “small island nations” are a substantial part of the population of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. They send a lot of money back home. They are the same people that you consider “poor”.

Duamerthrax ,

The island nation of Tuvalu, which is currently having to make plans because of rising sea levels has a per capita gdp of 5,221.53 USD. Manhatten has a per captia gdp of 474,462.94 USD. This is by 2022 numbers, but I doubt they changed much.

As shitty as moving it, it’s much easier for Manhattanites to migrate to higher ground then it is for the people of Tuvalu. Both in terms of logistics and available resources. I am so, so sick of hearing from “bleeding heart liberals” who only seem to roleplay progressivism, but can never muster any action because the popcorn and circus is too good.

Duamerthrax ,

Day traders do.
