Adam Schlesinger, a likely preventable death in this selfish fucking country. He gave so many beautiful things to the world while he was here.

That is just not a proper headline… You are missing critical context? More like, “Kennedy, who recently willingly swam in literal shit with his own grandchildren, says…”

Crazy that decent people have a 1000 page report to justify their position, nutjobs have a tweet, and the two are discussed on equal footing.

He doesn’t think much of anything himself. He’s a scared little boy, because that’s where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.

The headline incorrectly suggests zelensky had a meltdown in white house, as it’s worded.

These headlines man… “After TRUMP white house meltdown”

Just picturing that, as you type this, you have a swastika tattoo on your forehead.

“Why is everyone so judgemental? I’m not one thing! A person contains multitudes!!!”

[Entire world on fire] “I just wish everyone wasn’t so fixated on discussing the fire, how it started and who’s responsible…”

You have to realize how mesmerizingly obtuse your comment is?

Plain and simple… She was a woman, and a black person - There will be months of tap dancing and “deep” analysis, but we’re just an ugly, atrophied, broken, racist and patriarchal nation, like deep down in our DNA. We were able to elect Obama, yes - he is half white, and a man (those weren’t the loud messages as they attacked him, but Pennsylvania gramma knew those things quietly when she pulled the lever for him). It’s not satisfying, but it’s just the plain truth here. We’re closer to getting over race than we are over sex.

Plenty of deliberate work has been done, mostly by republicans, to keep America stupid, poor and in untreated pain, yes… But we’re also just trash on the whole. We raise trash and we vote for trash. We just aren’t smarter than social algorithms, TV soap opera narratives, costumes and makeup. “The pretend business man is white, old, wears a tie and has a gold watch. He feels like how daddy felt when I was little, and when things are bad, daddy fixed them the way I remember it.”

Video game trolls, people who failed the cop application physical and triple DUI wine moms are America. No further explanation or analysis needed.

Will look into them, thanks.

I’ve wanted to do this, but just don’t know where to start… House is very complicated (teirs down three times on the side, up three times in the back), a lot of invasive weeds always intruding in from neighbor’s property and just too much area to cover…

Nobody contends that a “word is inherently bad”? The stance is generally that certain words have been used to propagate hate and violence on certain populations. Those populations then have real associated trauma so words are avoided in most conversations. Many are still used in actual relevant academic or regulatory context.

A knife isn’t inherently bad, but you shouldn’t show up to the funeral of a stabbing victims with a hunting knife in either hand to give your condolences to the family.
