If the U.S. were to rewrite all of its laws tomorrow, what are the things that Democrats and Republicans would agree on? in c/[email protected]
[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks 2 points 2 hours ago

If you mean the politicians:

Rich people should have more rights than poor people.

Money is free speech.

The two party system and fptp are sufficient.

More people need to be in prisons.

Israel did nothing wrong.

Knives from the old Trigun. Horrible and capable. The colony ships, July, Rem's relatives, the flying city, and the goals and actions of the Gung-Ho Guns, especially Legato.

My Korean partner got pulled over on the highway in Texas for being the wrong color, twice in an hour on bullshit reasons. She was not allowed to remain in her vehicle while the cops looked her up. This was before Trump emboldened racists.

Last time that clown was in office there was a spike in hate crimes against Asians, the "China flu" rhetoric may have been part of the cause.

You're not paranoid.

Granted! But they all come with horrific consequences and meta.

Rich people play by a different set of rules than you do, even in places with slightly less oligarchy.

I haven't been to Japan in ages and would love to visit. I've been curious about checking out Okinawa for a while, too.

Haave you been stripping long enough to be able to see any changes post pandemic?

Punchlines aplenty:

... Much like Hillary Clinton.

... Much like the Democratic party.

Etc.

After our spat, she stayed up working late yet again. (self.twosentencehorror)
 

When she finally came to bed to spoon and apologize, again, we fit together oddly because she was now a foot too long.

By the time it was too much, I didn't have the ability to do anything about it but scream.

Mod [email protected] posted a really creepy and pro-pedophilia post at https://lemmy.cafe/post/11105990

Mod immediately bans the two people that call it out as trolls.

Update: post is locked after two more bans

I didn't want her taking my other eye, too.

Hunting and fishing are for psychopaths (self.unpopularopinion)
 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

Knives go in the dishwasher and get sharpened with a pull through sharpener (self.unpopularopinion)
 

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.
