I agree it’s scummy to wish death upon a stranger you know nothing about. In this case, the guy thinks he knows the stranger is a fascist. I think that’s jumping to a conclusion, plenty of non-fascists do really dumb stuff with regard to health. This particular dumb thing with regard to health was popular among fascists, so it’s not totally nuts to think he might be.

Anyway, wishing death upon a fascist (stranger or no) is not scummy. Only a bootlicker would think it is! That said, I also don’t think you have to be a bootlicker to think we shouldn’t assume someone’s a fascist because they want ivermectin.

Joke went way over my head; thanks for the context!

This but unironically? lol the US is bad. do china next!

But I think most MLs would assume everyone already knows this and would instead want to argue about whether the bad things china does are actually “imperialist,” technically.

IDK maybe this is an accurate depiction of some kind of rabid sinophile…I haven’t had the joy of meeting any.

America bad.

I’m so used to seeing the joke version of this that I was confused by the traditional version lol

Delete the gym, hit a lawyer, facebook up.

Yeah this was a good and interesting article. Not sure what it’s doing here. Not mad I got the chance to read it, but…definitely not a shitpost!

Sure, that’s why comments on shitposts are such high quality!

I haven’t seen it! What makes it a Christmas movie?

I like the theory that the fellowship of the ring is a Christmas movie because if you read the books, they use a Gregorian calendar and if you add up travel time etc, apparently you can prove that the fellowship left Rivendell on December 25!

no!! It takes place around the Salzburg festival which is in…July I think?

The Sound of Music is not a Christmas movie.

My wife and her family and a whole bunch of Canadians all think it is and I am so flummoxed by it.

I’m a tax lawyer. I’m gonna be very busy fixing the messes people make using AI-assisted do-it-yourself tax planning lol. And by fixing I mean telling them to beg for penalties to be forgiven lol

Should not be surprised you’re a rad one, violet08!

I think another bit of context is that it was used as sort of Palestinian flag stand-in emoji when there wasn’t a Palestinian flag emoji

Is your friend working in the same area/industry as you? if so he will have a better feel for whether it’s “normal” than anyone here! That said, if you would feel safer at home than in the shelter and you can work from home effectively, then I think you should just work from home, and if they fire you, they fire you. If you gotta be there to do your job right I understand why they’d want you there, but you should think about whether it’s worth it to you!

Lol, I just recognized the name from spending ages discussing the monarchy with this guy. Seeing this post I checked his other comments; jeeeeeeeesus.

In case anyone wants to see it: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 9/EFTA01211330.pdf

He’s being downvoted because this was the democrats’ race to lose and they lost it spectacularly. Don’t blame non-voters for not turning up for the candidate that said “shut up about the genocide that we support and that i intend to confine to support”

Or for a party that abandons every campaign promise other than “things will not fundamentally change.”

The Democrats could try a little leadership for god’s sake. The top level comment blames the party, the comment you responded to blames the people. That’s why it’s downvoted, I think.

Yeah I mean nowadays I feel like something like hello fresh or whatever meal delivery service (that still requires you to cook) is a big convenient treat. Delivery is so goddamn expensive, I ain’t made of money!
