Huh, that’s interesting. Though, how do you pick MLK specifically out of a recording of an orgy, let alone definitively enough for it to be damning to his reputation?
But they were writing the letter under the guise of just being some guy. I’d believe the government could make the public think I’m some sexual deviant, but not a random person writing a letter to me.
Is there something I’m missing, or is this letter nothing more than an old-timey version of modern internet comments and conservative “LGBTQ+ people are somehow pedophiles!” claims that are as outlandish as they are unfounded? Like, how is claiming a reverend has secret massive orgies he’s clearly not having going to get him to kill himself? He probably just read this, said “Well that’s a load of nonsense.” and threw it away without another thought.
I tried so hard as a kid to sing the entire list in one breath, but never made it…
My wife loves these. I’d never had one before I met her, and I never will again now that I have. I’ve never eaten something so bland, yet so sickly sweet, and my sister and I used to eat bowls of straight sugar when our parents weren’t around.
Well, Bleem went down under the weight of Sony’s lawsuits, just like Yuzu did with Nintendo’s. Sony didn’t even win any of their lawsuites against Bleem in the end, but constant legal trouble is usually too much for small startups to handle. The US’s legal system essentially allows any company to duel any other, with legal funds as the weapon of choice, and the bigger weapon wins every time. Legality doesn’t matter unless both companies can truly afford to fight the battle to the end, and emulators will likely never have that power. So all we can do as consumers looking for options is to try not to talk about the little guys so much that one of the big guys feels it’s necessary to bury them to death with lawsuits.
It doesn’t matter if you’re blind or not if you’re not going to bother to look. Most people simply don’t assess their media for underlying messages. They see Professor X as the good guy and Magneto as a bad guy, and don’t think any more about them. They don’t ask how or why they can be identified as the protagonist/antagonist, they just identify the general alignment and that’s it.
6·4 months agoI don’t see any sugar. This guy made lemon juice instead of lemonade - no wonder life keeps giving him more lemons.
There’s no reason to try any harder than this. Most people who will see this tweet won’t look at the handle or the replies - they’re read the tweet, then move on. And if they see enough of these tweets, they may just internalize the notion that unions aren’t worth it. It’s better for Amazon to make more tweets than it is for them to make better tweets. And it’s not like they’re going to see any repercussions for trying to maliciously influence their employees.
I like to focus on my shoulders. If I notice they’re scrunched, I lower them, and the rest of my body tends to follow suit.
I’d be worried that I couldn’t change back. I’d choose flight, since none of the other dragon stuff feels too useful besides just being strong.
Don’t worry, I was also confused as to why she was wearing a towel in a high-tech laser science lab.
I read this like a guy excitedly shouting out his guesses during a game of sexy charades.
It was one of the best burgers I’d ever had back in the 2000’s. Went back recently and it wasn’t bad, but was nowhere near what it used to be, for way more money.
My mom fell hard into Qanon in 2019, and it was crazy how she just flat-out stopped having any opinions of her own. We were never close, but we were at least able to have the occasional conversation before that, but now any attempt to talk to her immediately turns into her reciting something she saw on youtube. I can’t remember the last time she said anything to anyone that didn’t start with “So my videos said…”
I lived in Minneapolis during the protests, and someone did light up a gas station just a block from my house, but I wasn’t concerned - I’d already prepared to lose everything when I joined the protests. Fighting back against the government is going to take sacrifices, both from willing and unwilling participants; if we’re too afraid of stepping on people’s toes, then those in power will just use that angle to quash any up-and-coming resistances.
If protests are something people can just ignore until they’re over, then that’s what they’ll do - they need to be polarizing in order to actually get people to make a change. The enemy of positive change isn’t always negative change - it’s often an apathetic population who would rather not put forth the effort to make any change at all. If people are pressured to take a side by a sufficiently disruptive protest, they’ll usually join their fellow downtrodden, but you need to force them to make that decision.
