The choice of words reminds me of one of the Comedy Central roasts. Can’t remember which one, but Marlee Matlin was one of the roasters. She’s deaf, but she can speak just fine.

Part of her set was, halfway through, she got Gilbert Gottfried (also on the dais) to “be her voice” for the rest of it. So he read her lines from the teleprompter in his way plus or minus a few tangents. Then this…

I lost it 😆

Uh, have you ever seen a heated argument in ASL? It’s intense.

To a blind person, a deaf argument would sound exactly like a slap fight from the fury of signs flying back and forth.

And in some unfortunate cases, not tidy.

Not sure what country, but in the US, wouldn’t that technically be illegal (at least between co-workers)? I know some places, such as call centers, won’t let you speak another language to customers without approval (for liability reasons, I assume).

She would get very angry really fast if she heard anything in a language she didn’t understand.

Karen es una cabrón.

4. Not everyone is a goddamned literal Nazi.

Is Disney in the wrong here? You betcha. Are they a shit media conglomerate? Oh, boy, yeah. Are they anywhere close to what’s depicted here? Not even remotely.

Goddamn, it’s like people around here call everything and everyone they don’t like a Nazi. Starting to not even sound like a word anymore.

Edit: To clarify: There are enough actual Nazis in the world as it is. Stop inventing new ones.

Jesus Christ, Godwin’s Law would like to have a word.

Oh, your hair is (pause) fine.

Oof. Well, I’ll keep shopping then. Looking for something a little more plug-and-play than that.

Keep this in mind when you see brand new accounts spewing out random news sites you’ve never heard of.

Anyone know if that adapter is compatible with my AC-1200 Wifi Einstein-Rosen bridge?

Lol, I felt like a dick replying that, but I figured someone would go to lemvotes, see i downvoted it and assume i’m maga or something. Nope, totally agree with it, just tired of seeing politics in the places I go to avoid politics lol

Downvoted not because I disagree but because I’m tired of political crap in non-political crap communities.

It’s okay. I"m just training AI.

I hate you. I hate you. I hate you 😆 Also well played.

Read half the title and immediately tabbed to Wikipedia to make sure “is” wasn’t “was”.

Like another commenter said, polarization and cemented, frequently extreme, views. You’re not going to change their mind on anything, but they’re constantly trying to change your mind on everything. I consider them shills and hit that block button.

I also block people who are here “on a mission” for whatever cause. Social media has enough activists, and even if I agree with them, I’m still thinking “will you shut up, man?”.

I also block people who intentionally take others out of context as an excuse to attack them or inject drama into every interaction. There’s plenty of that to go around, and thankfully, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on the number of blocks I can issue.

Basically, I’m not here for drama or activism or circle-jerking any political cause or to suffer immature edgelords. I just wanna talk about cool stuff with rational people. Blocking helps separate the wheat from the chaff in that regard. Anyone who has a pattern of making this place unenjoyable gets blocked

It’s like phone manufacturers have run out of ideas and will do anything except stop making tall, skinny phones. I miss horizontal pixels and not needing a step ladder to reach the top of the screen, dammit!

I can’t speak for your situation, but I do know of too many examples of marriages “just because” that made both partners completely miserable for decades. And their disgust at each other definitely was not good for the kid to grow up around.

If she’s someone you could see spending your life with, just not right now, then it’s worth considering. But either way, I would advise against agreeing to a shotgun wedding and leave that decision between you and her.

Sounds like her parents are trying to force you into a shotgun wedding.

Ultimately, it’s up to you if you want to go into a marriage that is very much going to be unhappy (I know currently and grew up around lots of terible pregnancy / stay together for the kids marriages) Personally, I’d just setup child support arrangements and discuss with her what role, if any, I would have in the child’s life and politely, but firmly, tell her parents to fuck off (you’re both adults).

Edit: And if she doesn’t want to have a baby, I would also support and assist with that.

We need people that will safeguard certain lines that may not be crossed.

Exactly.

“We finally won.”

What did it cost?

“Our humanity”

If people are so willing to cross those lines, what are we even doing or trying to uphold?
