They basically say that Jesse Waters is their Jon Stewart, I was describing a Jordan Kleper bit for my conservative father and he was like “yeah that’s just like what Jesse Waters does” my reply was “yeah except that Jordan Kleper is actually funny and not an absolute piece of shit.”
Our schools are
generallypurposefully underfunded and hardlyanyoneany Conservative with any real power gives two shits, because indoctrination is more important than education to Conservatives.
There, now that’s a much more correct statement rather than that both-sides bullcrap.
Well partially because once he gets to the pro level his platform grows larger, so it’s best to nip it in the bud now, but also the article mentions Kyrie Irving, whom has similar beliefs, so the author is probably just trying to highlight how pervasive this ignorance has become, also let’s not forget Aaron Rodgers as well and the influence his ignorance has.
What an idiot, especially when he blames his ignorance on his religious and political stances.
Also dumb, saying this to a newspaper formerly conceived of, headquartered, and printed in the same county that launches the most stuff to space, Brevard county Florida, aka the Space Coast, where you can see stuff being launched to space almost daily, ans almost from any part of the county, including from my backyard pool.
We need way more pushback against people spouting this level of ignorance.
Ventrilo? TeamSpeak?

Isn’t this post a bit backwards, most of us on Lemmy are nerds, and probably in multiple ways, this post should be the opposite, where the nerds highlight all of the ways that they’re “cool” or whatever.
Maybe he can call a crackhead for help?
Gary Clarke Jr. Has some good protest songs, especially for a blues musician, including a remake of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young’s Ohio.
Municipal Waste is great for some hardcore, there’s actually a bunch of hardcore bands that have some excellent protest songs.
Then you have Ice-T’s Body Count.
Lamb of God’s albums post-Randy’s time in a Czech prison have been full of social commentary, far more than the earlier albums.
I’ve seen people highlight Killer Mike’s Grammy wins, but his other group Run the Jewels is pretty much the biggest name in protest rap these days.
Then you have Kendrick Lamar, possibly the best rapper of his generation, absolutely one of the greatest story tellers of rap, period.
Overall there’s a lot of pop, metal, rock, rap and other genres who have some prominent names and many lesser known names who are putting out good angry music.
Then you have Ice Cube putting out Arrest the President then proceeding to talk about voting for that same president.🤦♂️
System’s whole catalogue really, they’re basically Rage Against the Machine, but with an Armenian twist and flair, love them, but can’t believe the drummer is a MAGAtard.
Don’t give Elon any ideas
Atlanta be like:
I’m definitely not a swiftie, but she does have some catchy music, and Shake it off was the default song for getting my kids out of bad moods and over bad days.
I also used to think she was a catty bitch for the way she was caught on camera making a face when Selena Gomez was with Bieber. However since then I’ve heard her speak about things she cares about and I appreciate her passion and that she’s against the things I’m generally against, she definitely seems to care and motivate her swifties to care about the right things, and that makes me tend to support her.
I agree, but that’s also what I’m trying to say is that the natural scale of the population increase will still scale out to be a higher slavery total than back then, but that’s total numbers, the percentages would be vastly different, like during the civil war era slaves were about 9.6% of the population of the US, but because of slavery not being tracked so closely now we couldn’t get an accurate total for slavery in the modern era, and there would be nitpicking about what counts as slavery and what does not.
Most guards could not give a shit less, they’re there to do their jobs and go home, so if you’re not going to volunteer some other person will, or they’ll just take whomever did volunteer. Sure you might run into some dickhead guard that demands it but that guard is just a symptom of our broken system and is most likely operating in a manner that would get them in trouble if the right people are notified.
But as I said to another person who replied to me that then you have prisons like Angola, which are basically just concentration camps, they staff the place with brutal guards purposely to keep the place viciously violent, and every single one of the prisons like Angola should be shut down with the staff prosected.
So it really depends on the prison, but the majority are of the more mellow variety, although overpopulation makes the more mellow prisons drastically less mellow.
That’s being a bit Hyperbolic, and these aren’t the types of prisons or jails where you’re stuck in a cell all day, that’s your misconception, the only people who are locked up like that are the ones that have proven themselves too dangerous to be around others, or at least that’s how it’s supposed to be when our prison system is working correctly, and the only prisons where that’s consistently their prison existence is the SuperMax prisons, because again, those people are too dangerous to let roam without supervision.
Mostly it’s just a chance to get out from behind the walls and the fences, sure they’d rather be free, but I’m sure we’d all rather they not do shut that gets them put in prison, and regardless of your feelings towards prisons people who commit crimes, real crimes, belong there, or some form of prison that emphasizes rehabilitation.
It’s definitely not as comedic as the trailers have shown, it’s a fairly serious series and deals with a lot of depressing stuff, overall I loved the first season, but knowing the fate of one of the major factions that I identified most with kinda bummed me out.
