@mekkaokereke I 100% refuse anything other than a pure mechanical lock to all my things for holding persons inside of them.

I just don't want to depend on an app, electricity or any other thing to be able to open the door and get out.

And it should be easy. Just pull or turn the door-open-thing like always.

When shit's on fire, I'm not in the right state of mind to read the manual.

@AnarchoNinaWrites At the very least, it's a big moment because finally something official said the g-word applies to them.

You don't get tried for genocide unless it looks really likely.

And also a vindication for South Africa et al who wanted to see if white people can be tried in that court, too.

But yeah, physically arresting people, probably not happening.

@AnarchoNinaWrites This sounds like how agents get taken hostage, ransomed back for poutine.

@AnarchoNinaWrites The trap jaw worm should keep you out of the sea, too.

@heidilifeldman No use pointing out every piece in a flood of garbage.

@GNUmatic @AnarchoNinaWrites It is 100% worth it to learn this stuff.

If you're okay with jumping way outside your comfort zone, you'll get the hang of it within a few months of seriously trying.

@blogdiva Credit really is a trap.

Meant to keep you paying interest forever.

Once you're stuck on using credit, it's very painful to get off it again.

Lots of people aren't even given a non-borrowing path forward. It's literally borrow-or-bust in many cases.

Only the bank wins, everybody else loses.

@AnarchoNinaWrites If I'm fond of a band, I'd rather they try things than stay identical all the time.

Like, if I want something just like the previous album, I have something magical, called "the fucking previous album, right?" which works to scratch that itch.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

- sounds like a Cure track
- has jangle

What's their problem?

I can't see where it sounds jarring or worse.

@PhoenixSerenity @AnarchoNinaWrites Already saw how, and this will surprise everyone *so* much, it was white people again.

Blaming others for not saving them hard enough sure is an interesting take.

@mekkaokereke When you start incorporating that non-white people are also worthy of human rights, you have to retire most of the white heroes, because wow did they not support that at all.

It hurts to find out that people you admire are not worth that, and were in fact doing bad things which got misrepresented to you as good things.

A decent person would take the hit and move on.

A less ideal person will try to shoot the messenger though.

@mekkaokereke Reading this whole convo has Billy Jean playing in my head.

Heard it so many times I have the whole thing on file.

@StillIRise1963 This is just so horribly sad.

So the parents figure education is just gaming the system for points.

Such severe disrespect for knowledge is upsetting to see.

@StillIRise1963 They made wife beating legal inn Russia.

I bet there's plenty magats jealous about that.

@mekkaokereke I noticed before how 2-3 viral vids of a crime, pushed onto TV often enough, can in fact make people believe there's a huge crime wave.

Because so much screen time features crime.

Then when you look up really boring stats which are just numbers in a CSV, it turns out crime has been trending down for decades, and still is.

No screen time for that, though.

And if those few vids all feature a black perp, you've fed the racists a narrative.

It's incitement, really.

@eniko Hundreds, already.

A lot more than I expected.

@eniko It's hundreds of people *in my heart* which is what counts.

[refusal to admit math error intensifies]

@tillshadeisgone Attacks like this can only come from bigotry.

There's literally zero other motivation to go "But are you really trans tho?" or "But are you really black tho?"

So sorry you have to deal with "neutral" people who think "both sides have a point".

No, bigotry is fucking bigotry and it has no valid point.

@StillIRise1963 College admission showing their whole ass.

They only let in that many black people because they had to.

Now that they no longer have to...

You have to keep in mind that when your caravan reaches a watering hole, draw water for the people, then let the horses drink, then let most livestock drink and let the camels drink last.

Because those fuckers will drink all of it, no matter how much there is.
