lol no he wasn’t, that was never ever going to happen

Different use cases

Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them

The USA has the best judicial system money can buy

Yeah a friend of mine accidentally walked into the crossfire of what turned out to be a nearly 10-year-long beef between two badly medicated bipolar people that had reached some pretty fantastic and frankly scary proportions. Stalking and harrassing the shit out of each other, or the other’s employers, friends, acquaintances, random people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc. etc. Justice system’s been involved multiple times.

Unrelated but:

ex top-tech employee who is incredibly happier now that I left

As another recovering IT professional: ain’t nothing incredible about that.

I’d rather starve than work in IT again.

Unfortunately for all of us, all you have to do is look at history and you’ll see that a lot of people do want to – especially without consent

That’s… reassuring.

This reminds me of that scene from Fight Club:

“Which bank do you work for?”

“A major one”

Same here, and pretty notably I keep getting more left wing instead of more conservative and the same’s been happening to my friends too, so even the idea that you automatically get more conservative as you age is pretty suspect.

Shit, right now in Finland the under 25’s are more conservative than Millennials, at least based on voting patterns

I’ve become much more flexible in my thinking and beliefs the older I’ve gotten, and statistically young people are much more likely to have extreme positions on things.

If anything, you’re probably going to have a worse time convincing young people who think they know everything, than older people who understand that they don’t.

They should, but they’re human, and this is just such a quintessentially human thing – mindless hate and brutal torture are features, not bugs.

This is just pandering to right wing extremists (ie mainstream conservatism).

It’s like if, say, Unilever bought out a company and then released a statement saying “Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs will stay free of woke mRNA vaccine”

*crickets*

Hmph, not in sci-hub yet

Just your run of the mill neo-Nazi look, like RIchard Spencer:

You should try to be a functional adult

They did mean what they wrote, but what they wrote didn’t mean what you and the people who decided to get Big Mad about this thought it meant.

“Your parents are going to die one day, kids, and so are you! Now who wants cake?!”

Yyyyeeaaah me neither

I bet that the particular universe where Phil dies just collapses on itself, killing everyone in the process. Thankfully so far there’s always been at least one universe with a Phil that doexn’t die
