Part of me wonders if it’s a recession, or if the ultra rich have finally squeezed everyone to the point it feels like one

What’s the difference?

Not everyone thinks much about the symbolic meaning of a tattoo - I certainly couldn’t have identified the Totenkopf before seeing his tattoo and doubt I’ve seen one in the decade prior (at least where it was clearly a symbol being used by nazis). So unless someone at like a public swimming area where I decided to go topless pointed it out, I there’s a good chance none of the people close to me would recognize it either.

I could totally buy the “I got a generic skull and cross bones tattoo cause it look cool” excuse if it wasn’t for posting in a thread about the Nazi Totenkopf 6 years ago (long after getting his tattoo) and either not realizing it matched his tattoo (and him not being covered in like dozens of tats) or not caring to get it covered up/removed immediately. https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/CombatFootage/comments/auy0bi/_/ehbh3n6/?context=4

Apparently he also defended people getting SS thunderbolt (something I’d be surprised for a self-proclaimed military history buff would be aware of being a nazi symbol, even if not the Totenkopf) tattoos, both on reddit and response to being called out for his nazi tattoo recently. And two people have told reporters that he’s talked about how his tattoo looks like a nazi tattoo to them (granted, if it were just anonymous “acquaintances” claiming this, I wouldn’t trust them reporters at all).

The post where he brags about shooting a machine gun nearly straight up into the air in the city where they were afraid they might accidentally shoot themselves due to low accuracy, so they even took cover and said they had now clue if they actually were hitting their targets and finishes with “One of the things I’m most proud about having been part of”

A typical bike lane is anywhere from 2 to 4m wide,

I wonder how many people are posting from places where 1m is a decently sized bike lane.

Pretty sure I stated that it doesn’t make him a nazi. Just incompetent or not anti-fascist are also perfectly fine explanations, and both alternative explanations make him far from an ideal candidate for such a high-ranking position.

Also, he is a war criminal. By his own admission. And said its the thing he’s most proud about his time in the military.

If he really cared about it, he’d have covered it up or had it removed like 6 years ago when talking about the Totenkopf on reddit. I don’t think it necessarily makes him a nazi, but people who are indifferent to nazis or are too stupid to realize the tattoo they have looks eerily similar to a nazi symbol they were looking at aren’t people we should celebrate trying to get into office (even if you ultimately elect them despite their shortcoming because everyone else is far worse).

Are those the things that let you use the force or the things that cause you to spontaneously combust & turn into monsters?

Doesn’t everyone keep clothes around just in case of sudden TS?

you’re saying it’s cool to criticize physical aspects of a person over which they only have so much control?

When that person’s famous for actively pushing transphobic policies by pretending they’re a top athlete? Yes. Nothing wrong with not being the very best. I certainly am not at anything.

Needs more lightning.

You can keep it on dual boot until you realize you didn’t touched Windows even once over the last 6 months.

I wish. Given how frequently I use my computer for work, there’s a few things that I’ve been unable to find suitable alternatives for. But it’s things like having a specific workflow for PDF editing, where I’m use to a specific piece of software where I’ve set up custom shortcuts and such.

Otoh, for personal use definitely has been a good experience so far (just setup like a week or two ago). Haven’t run into any issues there and certainly prefer the OS. Was super easy to setup (granted, I installed on a second drive rather than a true dual-boot).

Public get tired of bad economy, support liberals / democrats to do something about the economy

Then people forget who was in charge when the bad times started. Was fun talking to my mom recently about COVID and how the economic downturn and lockdowns were primarily under Trump. Not even trying to blame it on him or anything; just stating those coincided and were during his term because having an a basic timeline is apparently hard when it goes against the narrative you want to push, even when you actually know the years and months those events happened.

Oh no, someone enjoys referring to themselves in an unusual way. Lets start dozens of threads to bully them because I don’t like it! /s

When your comment starts with “but drag is extra weird, so its okay to be rude!” it seems odd to accuse others of it.

Perhaps if those words had any value, they’d be worth reading.

Tldr, but suspect you proved my point that people are way too opinionated about other people’s idiosyncrasies. Does drag even post anymore (or like that at least)?

And the same crowd that would spend their time making posts about a certain dragon poster all the time.

Selective enforcement against minorities has a rich history here.
