Tell me that I’m wrong <:( I want to be

So part of the attraction for self-deportation is that, if you leave voluntarily, you're eligible to apply to legally enter the country at a later date. If you're arrested and deported, you aren't. So, in theory, anyone who self-deports can be allowed to come back in legally. In practice, though, not everyone who wants to legally immigrate is allowed. And the process isn't fast. Considering Trump's ideas about immigration and his relationship with Elon Musk and Musk's interest in having highly skilled foreign workers prioritized in legal immigration, I doubt very many of these self-deportees will get back in under his administration. Even if the legal immigration process is updated or streamlined in some way, it will be done to fast track doctors and engineers and not day laborers who were in the country illegally until very recently.

Wasn’t there a whole thing in the comics about aang getting offended over some air nomad super fans using the arrow since you have to be a master to get your arrow tattoos? And basically the super fan group was doing a cultural appropriation by having arrow tats? I feel like that was a whole ass thing in the comics.

Good thing those people are all fictional and cosplaying as a fictional character isn't going to offend all those other fictional characters.

Also, cultural appropriation isn't real.

can we like, have adaptations made by people who care about the thing they're adapting

waitingtobebroken

Every time some showrunner is like "I didn't read the book" or "I know nothing about the game" I'm like??? WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE THEN?

oddlittlestories

Or just as bad, implies that the original work was boring and they’re going to “fix it.” 😡

luvtonique

Shout out to "The fans of the original are toxic/racist/homophobic/evil and so we're not making this adaptation for the likes of THEM."

to pretend that horrible people cannot make good art is another way to conflate beauty and talent with integrity and morality. the works of monsters are best examined with knowledge of the author in mind but art is not inherently reflective. human beings are creative, and habitual liars- it'd be stupid to pretend art must always be a portrait of its creator

curlicuecal

it's also a convenient oversimplification of humans to believe that a person who is horrible in one way will be horrible in every way. people can hold terrible views in one area and have something thoughtful to say in another. people can do terrible things to one person and tremendous acts of kindness and empathy to another.

humans are fucking complicated

I see your loved one has left behind a small amount of money for you after their passing. Unfortunately, as this is a source of income for you, we're gonna have to tax it, even though it was already taxed multiple times in multiple ways. Yep, sorry, but it has to be done. Y'know, for the toads *whisper, whisper* ahem, roads.

Pregnant person: Hey, I'm pregnant but I don't want the kid. Can I get an abortion?

Pro-lifers: No! That child is a gift! You need to face the consequences of your actions!

Pregnant person: Okay.

That same person, 5 years later: Hey, I just got back from my kids funeral. They were shot and killed on their first day of school. Can we have better gun control so this doesn't happen again?

Pro-lifers: I'm sorry for your loss, but no. There's nothing we can do. I'll keep you in my prayers tho

benjaminfranklincat

End gun free school zones and allow staff to conceal carry if you really want to protect kids. But you don't. You're just virtue signalling.

@xxwish-bonexx

So you admit abortion is murder to dunk on gun owners. You never cared about the children. You just want to disarm lawful citizens.

the-davest-of-uncles

Generally speaking, pro-lifers want schoolchilren protected with guns.

Generally speaking, pro-aborts do not want children protected.

OP in what other situation is it moral to kill someone now because they might die later? Because that's what you're saying, here. You're saying that it's more moral to kill babies in the womb than it is to let that child live five years of life.

OP there are about 13,000 non-suicide gun deaths in the US every year. Crimes prevented by civilian defensive gun use range from 52,000 per year to 3 million per year depending on which studies you want to believe. By every measurable metric, civilian gun ownership is a net good. And even if it wasn't, gun ownership is a human right, which means it doesn't need to be justified. It's horrible when children are murdered, but the blame lies with the murderer, not the murder weapon. Until you realize that, you'll never understand the world around you.

Thoughts on this? Don't be shy.

throwing visible jews under the bus in the name of leftism is certainly an approach you can take? this is an entirely ahistorical and abhorrent take. jewish assimilationists thought that same thing in europe during the advent of the Haskalah, and look where that got them. the idea was "surely if we assimilate then non-jews will accept us and there will be no more reason for antisemitism!"

when you had people who had been living as christians for generations and for all intents and purposes assimilated and became model citizens of their nations getting dragged out of their houses and shipped off to death camps with all the other jews, wouldn't it become apparent that this approach doesn't work? apparently not to soul khan! as long as you totally reject everything that makes you jewish: speaking hebrew, going to shul, having a mezuzah on your doorframe, observing any of our holidays, or even, simply, wearing a kippah, tallit, or having peyot—you will be totally fine, and if you happened to be targeted for being a jew then it was probably your fault for being too jewy and you should shut up because talking about it only serves to help make a case for zionism and israel's existence. oh there, see! youre a zionist, so you actually deserved to be hatecrimed all along!

I also want to add that I don’t wear any identification that I’m Jewish and someone pulled their car over to yell Jew hate at me. They could literally see I was Jewish from twenty feet away in a moving car.

How should I dress to avoid that?
