Let it go. Move on to those more receptive.

I remember when one conservative parent was absolutely furious with GW Bush over invading Iraq. Then they were all in MAGA for nine years. They've finally disavowed that one, but I don't know how much time they have to come further left, or how the trajectory may shift. We actually had a pleasant few days together, with each of us clenching our teeth and walking away a few times, but that's any relationship. Some things we (everyone) feel strongly about really aren't worth that argument. In fact, a lot of them.

"If it doesn't apply, let it fly." "Hit dogs holler."

Where will poor people go and how would they afford to go and how would they get there?

Mathew and Hugo were pretty horrific.

Little Shop of Horrors, original and remake. But I always assign social commentary, regardless if the writer meant any or not.

That was a great movie. I also really liked "Get Out."

Oh? I noticed that issue last couple of days using invidious on librewolf, and thought it was YT doing invidious shenanigans again.

, in my case, the U.S. government asserted a dangerous, dangerous new global legal position. Only U.S. citizens have free speech rights. Europeans and other nationalities do not have free speech rights, but the U.S. claims its Espionage Act still applies to them, regardless of where they are. So Europeans in Europe must obey the U.S. secrecy law with no defenses at all.

On what planet does that sound less than completely sociopathic?

Also I had no idea Barr was ex CIA. It explains a lot and contradicts a lot. I'm very confused by Barr.

"we tortured some folks" what? That doesn't qualify as holding accountable? /s because it's sadly needed.

Maybe. I'm just so used to it on another instance by moderators who ever ban for "civility", it doesn't even phase me. Maybe read past the words to the meaning. And don't wander into any irc channels, if that causes you offense.

Literally your first response to me in this entire thread was uncivil condescension.

Can you please copy and paste what bit seems so to you?
