Fuckin’ A

Probably George, maybe Ringo.

Sorry bud, but you just can’t fly in hot with a dickish reply to someone else’s comment and expect them to extend you any grace. Especially when you’re not even actually replying to the actual comment but your gross misreading of it.

Since apparently I’m blocked. For any body else who might stumble upon this one. Lovable’s assertion that any comparison between chattle slavery and prison slavery somehow diminishes the suffering and plight of the former is a real head scratcher. Especially since the prison industrial complex in the United States was built to be an institutional replacement for the systems of oppression that were banned by the 13th amendment.

Edit: chattel for cattle, auto correct strikes again.

Yeah… Maybe think a bit on who it is that’s actually doing the devaluing here.

Now, now, just calm down there Charlie.

I said nothing about prison slavery. You’re reading things into my post that are not there. The point I was trying to make is that the last the last living person who existed as property under what people think of as Slavery in the United States died in 1975. That’s either not even or just barely two generations ago.

But the rest of your statement, yeah…idk. I’ll just say that people are still being kidnapped, shipped and sold in this country. The mechanisms are different, the justifications are different. The underlying reasons? Not so much.

You’re completely right. I did the American thing that Americans are wont to do. Apologies.

Slavery American chattel slavery.

Is that what they mean by giving the dog a bone?

I miss bugs. It freaks me out how few I see anymore.

Batman as tick

What isn’t the orb? That’s the real question.

I took a screenshot of my wishlist a few weeks before Prime Day. During Prime Day, about half of the items had Prime Day discounts but only three of them where actually cheaper. The best discounts I found were on other smaller web stores trying to compete with Amazon on Prime Day.

Yes, but Forbes is pretty white. It’s the same vibe regardless.

I am a diversity, equity and inclusion expert is essentially an academic way of saying some of my best friends are black.

They are already targets.

You should be scared but try not to feel hopeless that won’t help anyone. I’m honestly shocked at how little people have been freaking out. Especially the news media, I don’t see how a free press survives a second Trump administration. That’s what really concerns me the seeming apathy.

I’m hoping that come November the election will go well, and we won’t have to worry about it as much. (As well as possible given the choices)

My family and I are going to be overseas when the transition happens and if we might not return depending on what happens. We’re going to be visiting family in a country where my spouse qualifies for citizenship ship so I feek like that’s in our favor.

If shit goes south and it was just me, I would probably stay but I’ve got kids to worry about and I won’t feel bad for a second about keeping them safe.

Haven’t been following the news, have we? What you said was mostly true a week ago. Now, NO ONE has legal protection under U.S. law against crime committed by an American president.

At least it was a real name. Nowadays it seems like every new company’s name is just a random jumble of letters solely because that .com was available.

I can’t imagine looking at the world and thinking we need more industry. Also, I know a lot of PhDs. Knowing a lot of things about a particular subject in know way correlates with intelligence.
