You misunderstand. They hate immigrants and queers so much that they think that all of their problems will disappear if they elect the guy promising to purge society of undesirables.

Same story for every rise of Fascism ever witnessed.

Sounds like it would be better to fight against this form of disenfranchisement rather than rolling over and saying “we have to split the vote if we want to run in other elections”.

Or, at least, if they’re going to split the vote to maintain ballot access, they could try actually using that ballot access to run candidates in smaller elections.

But they don’t…

The thing that really gets me about this story is it was an ESL School. The students were mostly adults learning to speak English. Not only should an ESL school understand the English language well enough to know what a homophone is, homophones are an extremely important concept for non-native English speakers because that kind of word can cause lexical confusion.

This teacher was fired for doing his job correctly.

I’m disgusted by people who use disability as a pejorative.

Attack Republicans all you want, but drag marginalized people into your insults and you can go fuck yourself.

Republicanism isn’t a mental disability. It’s a moral failure.

It’s hyperbole. They were mocking you for using “mentally disabled” as an insult. You’re the one talking like a conservative right now, using disability as a pejorative.

It’s not true when Conservatives say “Liberalism is a mental disorder”, just as it’s not true when Liberals say “Conservatism is a mental disorder”. The only thing that’s true in that context is that supporters of both major parties have no problem throwing people with mental disabilities under-the-bus over politics.

Republicans are stupid, they are ignorant, they are hateful; but none of those things constitutes a disability. If they did, I would have compassion like I would for any other disabled person.

“We have a strap-on hallucination machine at home”

The strap-on hallucination machine at home: https://www.instructables.com/DIY-Ganzfeld-Goggles/

$3,500 on a toy is not “pretty expensive”, it’s 3 months salary at minimum wage. It’s 7 times as expensive as the Quest 3, which actually has a user base, and 11 times as expensive as the upcoming Quest 3S.

It certainly pays a couple of mortgage payments.

Yeah, but if you’re interested in running an LLM faster than 1 token per minute, RAM won’t matter. You’ll need as much VRAM as you can get.

Yeah, sure, if it was an adversary like the U.S. government and not a Russian ally like Elon Musk…

The oil execs thank you for giving them soup while punching climate protesters in the mouth.

You know the couch-fucker jokes aren’t compliments right?

Dang, never mind about scrolling down, just find a mirror.

Wait, who ate whose ass?

Then run in local elections and fight for ranked choice voting instead of only running sybolic national campaigns that only serve to spoil the left-leaning vote…

It was a false statement and you were using it as a cudgel against inclusive bathrooms.

Bible: “Love your neighbor”

Christian: Loves everyone in their wealthy gated neighborhood. Hates everyone else.

Just because you disowned your family doesn’t mean you have to project your misery in everyone else.

Yeah, repeatedly. It’s one of the Bible’s themes: love your neighbor and embrace outsiders.

As is: giving all your earthly excesses to the poor, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, clothing the naked, and caring for the sick. Pretty much anything that a Republican says destroys society is something the Bible says you have to do to get into heaven.
