How would you even know if #3 was true or not, it’s not like they advertise it.

Got em

Dude what? It was a great show!

Do you mean there is slavery and segregation still going on on the us?

This wasn’t really the point I was making, but yes actually. Regardless of how you try to restrict your definitions in a pre-emptive act of goalpost-moving, slavery still exists in the US under the thirteenth amendment as a form of punishment, and our prisons are full of them.

And yes, segregated schools (and even things like “segregated proms” within supposedly-integrated schools) still exist.

The study found that minority students became more isolated and less exposed to whites within a school although districts were statistically more integrated.[44] Another 2013 study found that segregation measures increased over the previous 25 years due to changing demographics.[29] The study did not find an increase in racial balance. Racial unequality remained stable.

[…]

A 2013 study corroborated these findings, showing that the relationship between residential and school segregation became stronger between 2000 and 2010. In 2000, segregation of black people in schools was lower than in their neighborhoods; by 2010, the two patterns of segregation were “nearly identical”.[46]

And even still, they’re openly moving to bring it back more widely: https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/us/louisiana-justice-department-desegregation-order

That said, what I was referring to was the lingering effects that are very real, even if they are not immediately evident to an outside viewer. I could tell you’re not from here, because if you were, you’d understand what I’m talking about. Just because the letter of the law says something, does not mean anything about what things are actually like in practice. 400 years of chattel slavery, Jim Crow, etc. doesn’t just vanish overnight. Especially when not a single fucking thing is done to try to rectify or repair it.

You mean the nuclear arsenal that Israel denies exists?

Which of those western (nuclear) nations are also doing that?

a quarter hundred

Lol who says ‘25’ this way?

🤡

Who, out of the three, are actively committing genocide right now?

Maybe because there’s no danger of Israel slinging nukes all over the middle east,

This has to be a joke right?

Bahahahahhahahahaha…

Looks like a fucking little league game.

I think Italy had a parade of sorts when they strung up Mussilini and his mistress.

Bro went to a gay adult book store once and confused it with a library, now he’s on a crusade (to find the guy who sucked him off in the bathroom).

What is stopping a human from gaining a reputation with a signature, and then selling it (a la reddit accounts)?

k

YouTube was operating at a loss under Google for years. The only reason it is able to exist is because a massive entity like Google was able to absorb that without folding, and keep providing a free service until it becomes profitable (is it even yet? I’m not sure).

I mean fuck Google, and yes a big enough non-profit (or even government) could do it (probably better), but unfortunately that’s not the world we live in right now.

Aww honey, I’m sorry.

Damn, I appreciate the well thought out reply… I had forgotten so much about the movie (forgot that guy had a name, let a lone “Dr. Satan” lol).

I just have the image when they first enter his lab/lair and everything is like red and he’s got this weird fucking mask on.

Anyway, I always enjoyed the indie-feel of it, which is why I think I also didn’t really like Devil’s Rejects as much (also, just something about the “haunted house” theme that Rob Zombie seemed to excel at).

Never been a huge fan of his music, but I always enjoyed that movie. I’ll have to watch it again.

Thanks for the discussion!

Well I’m glad you were able to look past all of the genocide and glorification of slavery, and pick and choose which parts of the book suit you… Err wait…

But so it’s gender, so this isn’t really a good argument is it?

This reeks of, “I don’t see color,” which is bullshit racists say to justify ignoring the plights of people of color in the US.

We need to see color if we ever want to possibly attempt to correct the deep, systemic problems we have with racism.

Also US race concepts are kind of weird in general. I suppose the history of slavery and segregation did a number on people’s perception of race.

There is no “did” here, it’s ongoing.
