Ha, I didn't read the OP carefully! The best part is it doesn't really matter which one we're talking about, they both fucking suck and started wars for money.

Ok it makes more sense to me then. A lot of people have made Bush Jr look way better than he was and played up the "he's just too dumb" angle a lot, especially liberal media after Trump showed up. If someone isn't purposefully looking for information critical of Bush they're probably only going to see very gentle criticisms in today's media.

All anyone needs to understand is how they lied to start a war in Iraq, allowed extreme forms of torture at Abu Ghraib and other sites, and their response to Katrina. Iraq war alone is literally responsible for 100s of thousands of civilian deaths

I have a 2019 Toyota and when we got it a year or so ago, I was reading reviews and stuff. One of the biggest criticisms was that the interior seems outdated. I've never had a vehicle with any kind of touch screen, but this one just has a smallish one and a bunch of the normal knobs and buttons around it.

I'm typically not opposed to learning new tech or whatever, but touchscreens in cars is just the worst idea. Capacitive touch instead of buttons and switches is the second worst idea. All of this shit is just cost saving and not actually better, it just looks fancier

GW Bush isn't bad is a fucking wild take. Is this person too young to remember it or something? Bush admin is easily one of the most evil groups of people in modern US politics. Honestly I think they were worse than Reagan.

I'm not expressing faux outrage, I'm not even trying to express real outrage. I suggest you look up what projecting means if you don't think telling someone they are projecting is telling them how they feel.

Sorry, I don't really want to have this conversation with you anymore.

I mean, I think I explained my position pretty clearly if you read both of my comments. I don't have a problem with male nudity (or any nudity), I just know that many people use their own nudity as a weapon against others (in countries where it is taboo). I know this because I've seen them do it with my own eyes, I've had them do it to me, I've heard them brag about it, etc.

Simply because it is appropriate in a given setting doesn't mean people cannot have ill intentions. A space where it is expected sounds like the perfect place to do it without consequences. But seriously, if you have never known a male to show their genitals to others intentionally in a locker room then you just aren't paying attention or you've never been in a men's locker room.

I'm also obviously not saying every single man or even most of them are doing this. I very clearly said it's just non-zero. You're welcome to disagree, but suggesting that I'm projecting and telling me how I feel is not welcome. I literally even said it's coming from a puritanical place, I can't figure out why you'd even suggest this.

They want more opportunities to indoctrinate the youths

I imagine a lot of the liberal influencers talk about it and just call them communists. I think that's the entire point of maga communism even if it isn't an actual gov run op. The people doing it are all the type to do this kind of shit as a way to get attention and "troll the left"

So the reason I think that is because I'm certain a non-zero amount are doing it intentionally. I'm certain of this because so many men send unsolicited dick pics that I can't imagine there isn't overlap here. They know they can get in trouble if it's too overt, but at least some of them know they're making people uncomfortable and they like that shit.

You just need to find some ex mil commies. There aren't many, but they're out there

Sounds like DEI to me

 

Recently I've had some frustrating conversations with people. Someone said Oregon is "deeply red", which sounds like an absolutely unhinged thing to say when you consider all branches of government in OR are controlled by Dems.

I'm sure I was rude to the person, but I tried to explain how ridiculous that is. If Oregon is deeply red then what is Alabama? Just because the rural areas are conservative? I spent way too long on this one.

Anyway how do you handle this kind of nonsense in the world? I usually just say what I'm thinking to people these days, but more and more it's feeling like I should just stfu and let people believe whatever

 

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place
