GOP senator tells Arab American witness at hate crimes hearing to 'hide your head in a bag'
  • If you say so. I suppose it's easier to complain about other countries than to look within. I mean the housing crisis, the health care system stain, issues with indigenous rights, outdated public transportation, BC and its whole opioid epidemic. But I guess those aren't problems the government could do anything about at all...

  • I couldn't understand what you were saying, you didn't use nearly enough lingo, so I translated it.

    "Ah, the almighty power of lingo—like the Swiss Army knife of social circles. Once you're hip to the jargon game, it's like spotting Easter eggs in every convo. At work, lingo's the secret sauce for pushing complex ideas through the pipeline fast. But hey, here’s the kicker: it’s like having a VIP pass—you're either in the club or left standing outside.

    Now, here's where it gets spicy. Some folks take that lingo and flip the script—they don’t just use it, they manufacture it like a startup cranking out MVPs. Back in the day, this was mostly culty vibes, fringe-y circles looking to get the 'us vs. them' mojo going. But then boom—the suits came in, turned it into a science, and voilà, welcome to Corporate Speak 2.0.

    MBA-types are the real MVPs here. Knowing the latest buzzwords is like holding the golden ticket. If you're still rocking last quarter’s vocab, well, tough luck—you’re getting a one-way ticket to Outsider-ville. Gotta keep your buzzword game on point, always watching the trends, or else risk going full 'legacy system.' Meanwhile, casuals who just want to dip a toe in? They're hitting the eject button as soon as they hear 'synergize' for the tenth time.

    But hey, it’s not just the corporate world—we've got weaponized lingo all over the place now. Find a group that keeps updating their lingo like it's firmware? Yeah, you might wanna run a virus scan on that one."

  • “it’s not my fault my country killed a half million civilians, I can’t do anything about it.” -You

    And what exactly can I do to stop it aside from vote? You act like you have all the answers so please tell me what the average low income American can do to stop a war half way across the world. I'll wait for the how to guide.

    “I demand my government force another country to stop killing civilians immediately” -Also you

    Never said I demand anything, I said I vote. You seem to make it a habit of putting words in peoples mouths to fit your agenda. You own a farm? Because you're building straw men like crazy lol.

    Why the fuck would I support American political candidates as a non-American? Just because plenty of people are stupid, doesn’t mean I need to be as well. Plenty of people think that most Palestinian civilians are innocent, but it doesn’t make it true.

    I dunno, it is a very odd thing for you to do. It's also very odd to tell citizens of another country how to behave and interact with their government. What country praytell are you living in? Are you personally making an effort to stop every bad thing their doing or do you just embrace your hypocrisy full force? Oh no, I bet you're a "wait till people start dying to care" kinda guy.

  • GOP senator tells Arab American witness at hate crimes hearing to 'hide your head in a bag'
  • "You support the American government"

    What a brain dead thing to say. Yeah, we do, because we live here and have to pay taxes. We only have so many things we can do as normal citizens, only so many people we can vote for. Seeing you say all these bad faith statements constantly makes you look like a troll.

    Also, you don't have to live in America to support JD Vance. Plenty of non Americans support Harris or Trump, wtf are you on about?

  • "And my bolter!"
  • Yeah but 40k Fantasy is it's own thing and doesn't have sweet Space Marines, unless you acknowledge the Timescape. And cool kids don't do that. You wanna be cool right?

  • From Chinese to Italians and beyond, maligning a culture via its foods is a longtime American habit
  • It's so silly when people act like the US has zero culture.

  • Anybody watching the US Presidential debate right now?
  • A 20% tariff on imported goods?

    More tax breaks for the rich?

    Come on man. Harris is against those.

    So being for a tax break for the rich is wrong. And being against a tax break for the rich is wrong? What other option even is there?

  • Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
  • If I'm being honest, I don't really feel like going back and forth anymore, it's pointless. You're free to think I'm wrong, I think you came across poorly and are wrong too.

    Neither one of us are going to change our minds and we've decended into responses with cut quotes and countless questions. Things like "I didn't call them a drone I said they'd act like one." It's silly. There's really no point in either one of us going back and forth, to do what? Are you really open to the idea that the war in the Ukraine is important, it doesn't seem like it, and me spending time writing up response after response just wastes my time writing it and your time reading it.

    I hope you're well man.

  • Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
  • You've been trying? Your initial rant seemed very targeted at people and insulting, with plenty of name calling.

    You've been disrespecting people from the jump, saying only like 4 people will be able to understand you. You reject the idea that you might be wrong and that other people might have a point. You simply dismiss and attack people who disagree with you. You've had chances to prove your point and didn't, at all, you just attacked people.

    Also saying you don't care what's happens in Ukraine is just heartless on a human level. If you don't care if a country gets invaded and their people raped and murdered, well it seems like you don't have any morals. You can say we should support them with money or weapons, I disagree but I can understand that stance. Saying you don't care if they win it's some cold shit.

    But regardless, when you enter the conversation saying people won't be able you because they don't get it and attacking groups of people, you don't really have a lot of room to complain about people being disrespectful. You called people who might disagree with you "parrots" and "drones" and here you are talking about disrespect? Then you edited it and called people fragile, just doubling down on the insults. For a guy so upset that people are attacking him for a different opinion, you are did come out of the gate attacking anyone who might disagree with you. Get the fuck out of here with this victim bs.

  • Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
  • Trying to take the high road after being a pretty awful jerk to people is a bold move. Either way, it's not an attack, it's the reality of whatever that was.

    I'm all about opposing opinions they just need to have, ya know, a single coherent thought in them. Just because I don't want to here some cry/rambling nonsense doesn't make me close minded, it shows in value my time lol.

  • In an effort to "not show bias" Trump's sentencing is delayed till after the election.

    The decision by Justice Juan M. Merchan means voters will be left in the dark about whether the former president will face time behind bars.

    Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election Day

    It wouldn't be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
