TransplantedSconie , in Exclusive: U.S. researchers find probable launch site of Russia's new nuclear-powered missile

Bet the chain of command stuffed all the funds to get it ready into their pockets, and it will pop up and detonate immediately if it even gets off the ground lol.

These idiots are using WWI troop tactics and WWI and II tech on the battlefield.

I’d lay good money on it blowing up and radiating Moscow.

IHeartBadCode , in Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Rebukes Vance for Using Her Flub to Attack Harris

Vance stated he was unaware of Upton’s past mental health struggles and refused to apologize, dismissing the incident as a joke.

Yes. This is exactly what bullies do. “If I hurt you then it was a joke and you should get over it.”

The group that the Republican ticket accurately represents is breathtakingly small. But it seems it is mostly folks who run on hate and spite. You know, bullies.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

The republicans have a penchant for the “mental health” backhanded compassion.

The implication in this comment is that Uptons feelings are to be disregarded because she has poor mental health.

A few days ago it was the cemetery employee having a mental health episode who asked them to stop filming.

explodicle ,

Of course when it’s a school shooter, everyone should have only regarded the shooter’s mental health.

Nougat , in Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Rebukes Vance for Using Her Flub to Attack Harris

I hope she's strong enough today to be able to deal with the barrage of shit that is coming her way because of Vance.

Deleted her Twitter account so…

WoahWoah , (edited ) in Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Rebukes Vance for Using Her Flub to Attack Harris

He literally used a stupid Trump supporter to try to characterize Harris as stupid: “hurr hurr Harris dumb like our voters.” Republicans are literally directly insulting supporters by highlighting their ignorance and it won’t make any difference in Trump’s polling.

xmunk , in Former students report injuries and isolation at Utah facility for troubled teens

Can we, as a society, just agree that facilities for troubled teens aren’t worth the risk of fucking abuse?

How many times do we need to make this mistake before we fucking learn.

HeyJoe , in Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Rebukes Vance for Using Her Flub to Attack Harris

He really thinks he can just say whatever he wants, like he is Trump or something. At least they are holding one of them accountable, kind of.

Homie is just jealous that Harris could give a clear and concise interview without going on some sort of weird old dementia ramble like Trump.

Stupid fuck didn’t even check to see if she was a Trump supporter before he did it. And she was. I’m guessing not so much anymore.

CeruleanRuin ,

You underestimate how stupid these people can be.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Wait she is? So this is more of a leopard ate her face moment?

harrys_balzac ,

I have less empathy for her because her support of Trump shows that she only cares when she’s the victim.

eestileib ,

I’m sure she will still vote for Trump. They all roll over for him, every one.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That highly depends on whether or not she was true MAGA or just voted party line. Trump is shedding the latter as voters. Much like people on the left with Biden, they’re starting to plan to just sit out the election.

eestileib ,

We’ll see. I’ve seen too much blind loyalty to expect that to happen in any significant numbers. This is a turnout game for Democrats, they need to get huge numbers.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Why do you think they need to get huge numbers when many previous elections were literally determined by a few thousand people?

eestileib ,

Because Republicans turn out.

Because Republicans have installed corrupt election officials in many locations who will refuse to certify or fuck with ballots.

It needs to be way past 50%+1. Look at what’s happening in Georgia. Look at all the MAGA secretaries of state. This isn’t 2000 any more, we have an active fascist party that’s already tried one coup.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Well it’s not going to be massive. That’s just the reality. If she wins, it will not be by a lot. She will almost certainly win the popular vote though.

CeruleanRuin , in Youth football safety debate is rekindled by the same-day deaths of 2 young players

“We never thought it could happen to us.”

StrandedInTimeFall , in Strikes start at top hotel chains as housekeepers seek higher wages and daily room cleaning work

Personally, no mandatory daily cleanings. But, just like if you smoke, if you basically trash the room, then you should be required to pay higher fees when it takes longer than the minimum to clean up a room. Lots of dog hair, human fluids everywhere, major spills, garbage everywhere, etc. That way you have to pay the overtime for all the time it takes to clean up a trashed room. Take a video of your room before you check out, and if they say it took longer, then dispute it with the video.

Then get out of politics, you fucking weirdo.

This is the time to stop using weirdo and instead just say “piece of shit.”

Why not weird piece of shit?

Could be both. He seems to want everyone to think he’s a hillbilly…

PoopingCough , (edited )

Nah, they’re resistant to that because their whole engine is fueled with hate. They have persecution and victim complexes. Calling them weird actually seems to affect them because their whole thing is parading around as if they’re the party for “average” aka “normal”(white) Americans.

Cryophilia ,

Calling them weird actually seems to affect them

Not anymore. I think we overused it. We latched on to it because it seemed to hurt them, but now we’ve turned it into just another meaningless insult.

explodicle ,

What makes you think that? They still seem awfully defensive IMHO.

Imotali ,
@Imotali@lemmy.world avatar

No. Fascist WANT to be called pieces of shit. They WANT you to hate them. They can’t STAND being valued weird. That’s why it works. Fascist like being despised, it makes them feel powerful and important.

Reagan said that government couldn’t help. Then became head of the government

Floodedwomb ,

And made damn sure it couldn’t help.

CeruleanRuin , (edited ) in Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Rebukes Vance for Using Her Flub to Attack Harris

Meh, she’s a dingbat and a narcissist, and while it’s unfortunate that she screwed up so bad on her quest for attention that she became an internet byword for dumb blonde, narcissistic dingbat, take your choice, she was always a right-winger and a supporter of people of Vance’s ilk, and so this is just another case of chickens coming home to shit on the roost.

saddlebag , in Man arrested in fatal shooting of title winning college gymnast in Wisconsin

Does her gymnastics title make her more valuable to society?

Snowclone ,

Is she less human for having a sport she does at a high level showing her dedication and willpower?

Track_Shovel ,
@Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net avatar

I would argue, to a degree, yes. While all people hold value, she was well on her way to being something. Not a rocket surgeon, but someone who would have likely had a positive impact on society, rather than detract from it.

snow_bunny ,

no, but i’m sure using linux would have.

scytale , in Former Miss Teen USA Contestant Rebukes Vance for Using Her Flub to Attack Harris

Paywalled. What was her mistake at the pageant?

Non-paywalled: archive.vn/t0gZ4

It was the famous interview where they asked her why Americans couldn’t find the United States on a map. It went viral at the time.
