I’ve been waiting for this joke! It’s about fucking time!!!

It’s the ‘ick’ factor, plain and simple. The “culture war” is all about giving idiots a group of people to hate so you can win their votes by oppressing that group. Most of the world is cis, and most cis people never spend a second of their lives thinking about how their experience isn’t universal. So when they see a trans person just living their lives, they’re more apt to be judgmental than curious: “Obviously, if that person’s lived experience is different from mine, there’s something wrong with them.”

Trans people are easy to scapegoat because they’re a minority and their very existence challenges the narrow worldview that most cis people possess. They’re a godsend for evil people looking to oppress people for power.

I hope he dies, I hope all of the people on your list die.

Well, seeing as how that’s a statistical certainty, I suppose I shall join you in hell by saying “I hope all of the people on that list die SOON.”

Is that why Rudolph’s nose glows?

Sure thing, buddy. Here you go:

Well, unfortunately the guy used an e-bike with GPS tracking on it as his getaway vehicle, so I very much doubt he’s going to get away with it. But yes - I agree with you on the death penalty. Shit gets complicated when the state gets involved.

But those who think that they are virtuous have no problem celebrating this guy being killed calling it karma. And this comment will be totally downvoted because how dare someone point out their hypocrisy.

“Virtue” is a relative thing. What is virtuous to one person might not be virtuous to another. You, for example, seem to believe that celebrating the death of someone is unvirtuous, even if that person was a monster. This is pure speculation on my part, but I’m also guessing that you hold the belief that nobody deserves to die.

These beliefs are not universal. While you would be a hypocrite for violating your own strongly held beliefs, it would not be accurate to apply that label to someone who doesn’t hold those beliefs. For example, I believe that death is the worst punishment you can give to a person. I also believe that some people absolutely deserve it. I would not find it virtuous to falsely pretend otherwise. I have no moral qualms with celebrating the death of someone who I think deserves it. Similarly, I have no qualms about celebrating good things that happen to a person who I think deserves them. In both cases, I consider those things to be the universe working out as it should.

You’ve never wished for the death of serial killers? Rapists? Pedophiles? Dictators? Animal abusers? The odd mime?

Somehow, I don’t believe you. But, on the off chance that you’re telling the truth… this is for you:

Well that’s not true. You’re very pro-genocide, as long as it’s against Palestinians. That’s pretty political.

Huh. Guess I’ve got some vision loss.

Here’s a good write-up of it. It’s pretty hilarious.

Yup. I’m old enough to remember when the selling point of cable TV was that it was ad-free. Then, of course, they started adding ads. And then they sold us premium channels that didn’t have ads. Now those have ads, too. You just can’t get away from them.

I find it fascinating how media companies evolved their usage of ads over time. Used to be that the purpose of showing someone an ad was to get them to buy your product. Now, though, the companies who make the ads are paying to have them put on media networks who use the ads to annoy you into paying for a premium membership so you don’t have to see them. It’s double dipping.

Not sure how I would feel if I made an ad, and YouTube was saying to their users: “Yeah, you like that fucking ad? Super annoying, isn’t it? If you don’t pay me more money, I’m going to cram that annoying bullshit down your throat every time you want to watch a video. I’m going to put ads at the beginning of videos. I’m going to sprinkle them throughout the middle. Hell, I’m even going to make you watch ads after the video ends! You like that, you little bitch??”

Better a martyr than a president.

Others are in favor of their Cybertrucks developing orange stains, saying that they’re looking forward to the patina the stainless steel may develop.

LOL - that’s some straight up 🤡 shit.
