I strongly doubt he has the ability to relate that issue to his current actions; that's at least two steps removed as a consequence, and he's not exactly great at seeing that far ahead.

Wasn't he worrying recently about going to Heaven? One of his rambling speeches a few months ago or something?

I feel like in a few decades we're going to get the full scope of that influence and be horrified at what all can be traced back. Kinda like the Epstein files, come to think of it

I disagree on it being a child protection measure; it's all a cover for control. These companies want to have your name and ID, and everything you EVER do online so it can be tied to you. It's just a digital panopticon. It's becoming next to impossible to be anonymous on the Internet, and with...

It would solve the issue for my use-case for sure, but seconding AbidingArs point that it sounds like more work for mods. But yes, that would work for my personally :D

My two cents, but I like to follow the Current Events thread without necessarily commenting first, and if I'm just bouncing from notification to the next notification all afternoon, I might miss that the Current Events one got locked up and a new one started. If it's predictable that every...

In a more hopeful world I'd say this would go straight to the Supreme Court and get blasted down for infringing on Free Speech. In this one... hope folks can get out, Florida is no longer safe for huge volumes of the population and that number is rising fast. I know there's something to be said...

They'll show 'cool' dramatic moments, but acknowledging that they are killing real people is s step too far. They want it to look like a movie or a video game.

I would say that having the Current Events thread is nice for when something is happening live that we don't know how to categorize yet. Random example, but Charlie Kirk's death wouldn't have struck me as a topic needing its own thread immediately (didn't know who he was) but because I generally...

Well it's simple: the right doesn't think it's a problem. Just a nice multi-cultural club that 'respects tradition.' /s

I do wonder if we'll start hearing about the countries taking things seriously attempting extradition for the US perpetrators. I doubt the US would actually cooperate at this point, depending on how well-connected the suspects are, but surely it's going to come up at some point, right? If the UK...

Doing THAT would have all but guaranteed one of the eagles took the Ring for themselves and turned into whatever a Balrog-level threat with wings looks like. New kind of dragon? Which I think that might translate to the currently non-political billionaires; largely unavailable and not willing...

The theories I've heard are that they focused on the Twin Cities mostly out of revenge, btu also because it's a big enough city to make the ICE numbers LOOK impressive on the news, but not so big that they thought they'd be heavily outnumbered like if they went to NYC. Can't rule out Trump...

For what it's worth, I found the comment uplifting. They don't deserve the dignity of being treated like they're powerful. They are. We know that. They know that. They WANT us afraid and taking them seriously. It wasn't calling the fascists that made a dent, it was calling them WEIRD. They...

Madel was offering legal advice to Good's murderer a few weeks ago, so that's one helluva heel turn for him

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/26/trump-tom-homan-minnesota-alex-pretti-ice.html Trump is sending in Tom Homan to manage ICE now, and will be reporting to Trump directly. I've personally lost any sense of reality, so couldn't say if this is copium/a foolish hope for 'normalcy,' but it kinda...

That's the attitude in r/Conservatives i was seeing this morning; they all think we're idiots for thinking Trump means it of course, they're convinced it's a negotiating tactic for something, obviously it's 5D chess going on, but they're all equally certain if the US did invade it'd be easy.

Well, we're getting forecasts for snow, at least, and from what I've seen they're not that great at driving in slush

That last sentence is already more of the law than Trump knows

It's an on and off issue, where they think if they're acceptable enough, they can pass in 'normal' society and not have to deal with prejudice. It's a privileged position of never having to lean on the LGBTQIA+ community for help before, so there's no sense of camaraderie or mutual understanding...
