I was thinking its more like final destination and death doesnt like being cheated so now its going on wacky hijinks to kill the other Republicans until they let it go back to its original course and kill The Turtle

The UK has an entire holiday based around burning an effigy of a person you hate… I think we should be able to say we enjoy that he is dead to no longer hurt the living.

Gaza was an open air prison that was used as a shooting range for the IDF to practice cruelty and train in a murderous intent into their soldiers. It would teach the government as well what soldiers they could rely on and social force others to step in line. Unfortunately they were just to good at it and there are still more young people to teach to hate, so they moved.

Its the same reason they won’t leave Lebanon now either. They need a new place for target practice and they will have to keep moving as they decimate the last place they use.

Oh no no no. Its just that the safe floor to always have a consistent minimum revenue source, is to focus on the addicts. You have to have a method for the addict to spend and stay with you. Maybe they also then work on a side project of something bland and “broad market appealing” to see if you can’t scrape enough money from around the whole world to make a good chunk of change. But you always know that what the real purpose is, keep the addicts and see if you can optimize to either take more from them or get more addicts.

Its just safe and easy.

People will pay, though they sure have less to try and spend outside their addictions than before. Thats just also happening.

Imagine all of your comments having the same amount of upvotes immediately like as if you had multiple accounts. But hey using upvotes in Lemmy would also be a hugely childish way to think you won an argument right?

And because I dont care about the updoots that i wont get and just want to make sure you hear it 1 more time. You can absolutely go get fucked as hard as life can.

You are disgusting.

Ok. Thats fair.

Someone else described it to me as “he is failing the job interview” and I mean sure. I dont want to really have someone who is a POS as a representative. But I also want to make sure we still can ask questions instead of having to jump to beliefs.

I also think that what they do after this is important since I agree that the idea of a repeat offender leaves less room for careless mistake and more a trend.

The governor of the state could (under most state rules) technically pick the replacement for the senate seat if the current senator is unable to perform their duties.
However, the state of Kentucky recently changed that rule to one needing a special election which kinda goes into effect august 3rd and seem to be also therefore delaying the need for one by propping up his corpse.

There is also this rather helpful write up

Off topic and also we still have the very real current present reality of trump fucking up to hold him accountable for.

And agreed that its basically the same take though. So if there is no legal consequences what are we looking for here? If we want the victims to have justice we need to help them get it. What does all this vitriol serve to do? What are people looking for?

Come on in. The shit is steaming and our eyes are burning and we got every kind of emotional take in the book.

It is ok to ask questions, not dismiss the claims. Blindly believing is not a good place to be in either direction. People shouldn’t assume its real or fake but be deciding how to move forward and get what we need despite it.

This thread is full of bad takes, agreed. But I would rather it not get simplified to that when the reverse is happening as well.

Gross. So you want to continue the tradition of hating on victims because of a past incident that allows you to think they earned it…

Really fucking gross.

So you see cruelty and decide you should be allowed to dish some out yourself as a little treat to yourself? Yeah that is fucked. I treat people as the individual for their actions and inactions. In this moment and thread, I am responding to you alone and your words that disgust me.

What kindness you show. Such empathy. Really makes me believe you care about anyone.

And neither does your comment.

I was told that. I was also questioned a lot by lots of people and ignored over and over. Your take isnt helpful like you think it is and won’t hear it because you want to think its good for victims.

Comparing people interacting with the story to raping is fucked up. It is not helpful and you silence the conversations that need to happen even if they are uncomfortable.

Boohoo. People have questions. If you have ever been the victim you realize that those will be all you get for a while. Questions dont hurt nearly as much as people tossing the idea of abuse around like a joke or an easy insult.

Honestly the most disgusting comments seem to be from the people “standing up” for the victim.

We dont come forwards cause people dont like to actually talk about it or deal with real consequences. We have a world not set up for victims to be taken seriously cause strong means right and we dont have space for being sad for them and helping them overcome it. People just want to be “good”. But we can’t talk about what that entails or what to do when people fail to live up to it without extremes.

You know what my rapists sounded like? “Son, you know you are most handsome boy right?”
“Hey, are your parents around?”
“I heard you like to be helpful and are a giver, why dont you give me something.”

You can fuck off.

Fuck you! Dont fucking diminish rape like that to an insult against your perceived enemies. Thats crueler to victims of actual rape than you think and d Lowers the reality of it.

Go absolutely fuck yourself.

My takeaway is always… The people that raped me didnt change. It doesnt mean that they can’t but they didnt and I could continue to hate them for the pieces of shit they continued to be. I could use my past to add to the pile of the present but at some point we have to stop just letting just the past set a whole picture of people and use the present to define them as well. People are not morally singular unlike what idiots think.

I am so tired of people thinking they are being helpful by grandstanding punishment for some rape victims arbitrarily where they think they can enact justice rather than building a world for victims to actually get it. Its not yours to have if you are not the victim.
