I mean, the Romans literally salted Carthage. And I'm pretty sure the Old Testament has some better examples, too...

too bad a freedom topic with such an excellent title purged before reaching 500, btw.

omg super establishment he is the swamp etc.
---

is reason also reporting on the amount of deaths trump has caused compared to obama?
---

MAGA = 18% fewer regulations than Obama
---

They should do another count including all the Wall stuff that he can't get passed

Let us all put politics aside and join me in making a political declaration.

overwhelmingly obvious but lost on most people

although foolmo's simple "cops first" FB reply was pretty A+
---

so trump is the least deregulatory president ever and he's also a fascist?

It's funny cuz most socialists will agree with it too (although I was arguing with Tera and he explicitly does not)

british university bans student from researching people who regret having their dicks cut off because it might be offensive
---

I thought they just flipped the dick inside out?

Also he can research whatever he wants and the university can choose or refuse to fund whatever they want

Maybe he should try a university that isn't also a beauty & skincare facility

This is probably more accurate.

One of my coworkers stole my laptop charger and literally everyone is denying it.

It was probably one of the partners but if I ask them it's like admitting that I'm not rich enough to not care about losing out on a $30 investment.
---

Or that you are petty, volatile, vindictive enough to be partner of a business firm
---

nah im never gonna be a partner here

to get there first you have to be a manager which is like 150% of the work im doing now for like a 15% raise

F that

FedCoin literally sounds like the worst thing in the world, holy shit.

On the one hand it makes a decentralized crypto more important/valuable than ever... on the other it creates an even larger incentive for the government to stomp out competing cryptos.
---

There would be an important difference between Fedcoin and more traditional cryptoledgers. One userthe Fedwould get special authority to create and destroy ledger entries

This is satire?
---

It's literally using the technology for the exact opposite of it's intended purposes. It's fucking beautiful.

FIFA isn't technically a government, but it's probably closer than just about anything else.

Man, I've probably unfollowed over 10 sportswriters in the past week. And not just like, the young, minority hipsters who clearly put SJW on their resume and are being told to promote left-wing politics, but also a whole lot of like 60 year old white dudes who have been in the industry for decades and never ONCE got into politics but now suddenly 80% of their tweets are indistinguishable from Occupy Democrats posts.
---

you want to be in a safe space bubble where you're not confronted by leftist ideas?
---

Im already confronted by leftist ideas all the time from my friends, family, and coworkers.

I followed some dudes because they talked about hockey. If they're going to stop talking about hockey and talk about OMG TRUMP IS A RACIST then I've lost any reason to pay attention to them.

In strictly business terms, hockey insights are a scarce resource to me, Trump hate isn't. It's the least scarce opinion in the universe.
---

they completely stopped talking about hockey? all they write is "OMG TRUMP IS A RACIST"?
---

Over the past week, many of them have had more political tweets than sports tweets, yeah.

It's possible that Twitter's algorithms are intentionally gaming and signal-boosting anti-Trump tweets over sports ones - but I have no power to change Twitter algorithms, so I'll just unfollow everyone who has decided to stop doing their jobs in lieu of lecturing me on how evil my opinions are.
---

i'm still not entirely sure what your problem with trump hate is, though.

i know you claim to support trump solely because "it makes liberals so mad lulz," but now you're depriving yourself from content you enjoy because of this? you're really taking this "trolling act" into method acting territory.
---

On almost all issues, Trump is at least closer to my side than Nancy Pelosi, and the Trump hate I'm hearing is not of the "if only he was more libertarian" variety, it's the "OMG Nancy Pelosi is right!" variety.
---

If you want tweets that are strictly related to people's jobs, you need to follow their company's page, not their individual page. The individual page is for stuff they want to say as a real person, not a corporate mouthpiece of a company's media department.

weird how they never had "real person opinions" until Trump was elected

Hah, look at this snowflake melting

I mean three of the five are unquestionably true and the other two aren't that far off...
---

If only they gave that survey to MBA incels from Texas...
---

i wonder which three are "unquestionable true," according to muffin. the only one that doesn't seem dubious to me is "if a sister is acting like a slut, it is only a matter of time before a guy tries to take advantage of her."

NFL players intentionally disrespect the flag. Media freaks out about their obvious free speech, mocks anyone would would dare disagree. Conservative boycotts are met with ridicule. Corporate sponsors issue statements affirming their commitment to players fundamental rights to have controversial opinions.

NFL player makes a casual joke about the fact that women don't actually play football. Media loses their minds, declares him an irredeemable sexist, demands he be punished. Corporate sponsors immediately fire and distance themselves from him.

It's easier to agree that black people shouldn't be killed by cops than with casual misogyny, seems like a good thing
---

Oh so you admit it's all about the content of what they are saying and how much you agree with it?

Because that's pretty much the exact opposite of what everyone else is claiming.
---

"women know nothing about football" is a "casual joke"? what is this, an andyman "LOL HE WAS JUST KIDDING" defense? it seems like a blatantly sexist comment devoid of humor to me.
---

also, what does this have to do with free speech? just because corporate sponsors distance themselves from him doesn't mean his free speech is being limited.
---

yeah and conservatives who were calling the players names for kneeling weren't limiting their free speech either

male sports journalists from non-athletic backgrounds get comments like "well you never played the game" from athletes literally all the time
