and doesn’t america make does weapons?

I have no idea what you're trying to say.

I think: actual straight people don’t exist, only self hating people who cling desperately to an imagined blood tribe.

Honestly, this is absurd. I've been on this Earth for over 50 years, I am a man, and I've never felt attracted to a man. I am straight. I exist. I don't hate myself, I also don't hate others for their sexuality. Let gay folks be gay, let lesbians be lesbians, let bisexuals be bisexual. I fully support trans folks. I am not against anything LGBT+. But I don't fit any of those labels. I am a man, and I am only attracted to women. I don't even understand how/why straight/bi women are attracted to men. I'm glad they are though.

You could offer me a billion dollars to fuck a man, and I just would not be able to do it. No man is making my dick hard. My sexual identity is just as valid as yours. Gay people exist. Bisexual people exist. Straight people exist. You can't tell me I don't exist. I am attracted to women exclusively. To be clear, that includes trans women, some of those women are really beautiful. Trans women are women.

The Big Booty Bill already gave ICE $75 billion dollars. ICE is funded for the next 4 years, and they would have been funded for that long regardless of this budget passing or not. What this headline means is that ICE didn't get even more money, on top of the $75 billion.

The Democrats lost this fight, but they're strutting around like they accomplished something. All they really accomplished was making TSA agents work for free (yay, slavery!) and making unintelligent people think they accomplished something.

To quote the article you linked:

For now, at least, ICE won’t get any more money.

Emphasis mine. ICE still gets the $75 billion dollars they already had, they just don't get to put the icing on their cake.

I'm not the person you asked, but honestly, if Discord wants to monitor me and my homies talking about our nerdy ass video game shit, I don't mind it at all. It's not like I'm setting up heroin deals on there (or anywhere else). Like, I give a negative amount of fucks if they know that we're gonna be hardcore raiding from 8pm to midnight on Tuesday and Thursday, with a training session for new members on Saturday morning from 7am to 10am. I could not care less if they read my chats about dungeon strategies and properly optimized endgame gear. If they want to see who won my weekly raffle for 1000 ingame gold, that's fine by me.

It's not even like they can use my data for marketing purposes. I play exactly one video game, and I already plan to buy every expansion the game releases until I either die, or the servers shut down. And we have a very strict "no politics" rule in my server, so it's not like they're gonna catch us planning some sort of revolution. We're just some MMORPG nerds nerding out about our MMORPG.

If they ask me to scan my face, or send them a pic of my ID, that's where I draw the line. I have never, and will never, put a picture of my face on the internet. I've never posted any pics of my kids, or my grandkids either.

But nothing I say on Discord is "private", there are over 600 people on my server, all playing the same game. We only talk about the game, or occasionally what we had for dinner (but that's only on Foodie Fridays). If Discord knows that I made wet beef sandwiches with loaded fries for dinner, that's no sweat off my balls. I don't have conversations on there about anything that I would be afraid to shout in the Public Square.

My phone bill is $40/mo no matter how much I use my phone.

The Supreme Court recently decided that taking race into account when drawing electoral maps is unconstitutional. Previous to that decision, Louisiana drew their electoral map with race taken into account. The Governor has delayed the election in order to redraw the map without taking race into account. This will likely result in less representation for Black voters.

I guess you failed your Detect Sarcasm check.

Just gonna plug my friend's cover real quick.

It's entirely possible to consume art without benefiting the artist. It's called piracy.

When my grandkids want to watch Harry Potter, JK Rowling doesn't get a penny from the act of me streaming it on an illegal site.

I was a daily reddit user since 2007. I made my PieFed account 3 weeks ago and haven't been back to reddit since.
