I came here for a good argument!

Absolutely. With all forms of art, I feel this is an extension of the Death of the Author concept, in that you separate the art from the artist, and it has less to do with what the artist intended and more to do with your take and interpretation of something, good or bad, and it’s effect and meaning for you.

For example, due to my childhood and lots of past trauma, I harbor some deeply resentful and hateful feelings toward Christians and Christianity in general. However, there are some Christian rock and metal bands I have always loved, and a lot of their music doesn’t always scream religion at me. I appreciate and enjoy some of these still today, despite the fact they ultimately are representing something I detest. The way I enjoy it and what it means to me is different from what they intended.

Never was.

This was hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

Construction experts say the store is an example of an industry figuring out ways to use the technology.

“Experts say thing being used is example of thing being used.”

As an American, I approve this message. It’s accurate.

Good. Spread the fascists out on too many shitty platforms for them to organize well.

The impacts are going to be compounding and felt for decades. People do not understand the work federal employees do, and many federal employees don’t even always comprehend how far the work can reach.

It might be impossible to understand the downstream compounding effects.

Do whatever you want. Religion is made up and there’s no need to let idiotic peer pressure control you.

You ignore the electoral college (i.e. an entire state swinging for one candidate and conpletely overruling your vote), you also ignore voter suppression tactics, including restrictive and cost prohibitive ID laws and roll purges. In some parts of the US it is seriously difficult for certain groups, especially the poor, to exercise this right. Merely transportation issues alone can be super prohibitive. They explicitly close polling stations in certain areas and fuck with transportation services for this. They push back against early and mail in voting. People have to work during that day. They have kids and lives.

This is well known in America. Get off your smug high horse.

I was chucked into Christian school.

So… a lot of it.

Okay. Then thank you to your grandparents who sat idly by while Poland was invaded?

We don’t control much here. We get presented shitty options, the electoral college makes a lot of our votes not matter, and a lot of people are just trying to live.

Pretty sure Eminem did like 8 years ago, the first time.

It’s also basically the same console with minor upgrades.

I really want to believe the Assassin’s Creed concept that our DNA holds memories from our ancestors.

Americans: “I don’t care how bad the service is, you HAVE to tip a minimum amount.”

Also Americans: “My experience at the DMV was bad. Fire all government employees!”

Your story is all too common, and I saw a lot of this growing up. I was there as a child overhearing the comments about people. Seeing and hearing my parents and church and school leaders talking shit behind backs, amd being judgy as hell towards anyone and everyone.

Yes, God forbid you seem like a burden or “different” in any way. Their “acceptance” of you will come with a lot of caveats.

I’m glad for your sake and your life you are aware and see it for what it is. You’re better off.
