Dude dealt out of a crack house and lured police inside where his buddy killed them with an AK-47. Reee considers him innocent because he didn’t pull the trigger. I’m against the death penalty but this guy is definitely culpable in their deaths.

Apparently, the person that DID do the murders called for him to be excused. So... I mean... it's a mixed-bag. If he wasn't the trigger man, the death penalty is a little excessive.

resetti member brings up a site that compiles biden gaffes and creepy shit and terrible quotes, resetti responds as expected

Has anyone here checked out https://joebiden.info/ yet? Hilarious satire and shows a lot of the devastating stuff that he'll be hammered on in the coming months. I honestly don't think he stands a chance in the GE with all the deplorable things he's done weighing him down.

Mod Edit: Site is run by the Trump Campaign

Definitely think that Biden's record deserves scrutiny, but there are plenty of good-faith avenues for doing so without elevating Trump propaganda.

Seriously. Can we not? I know people are upset and tensions are high at the moment but there's no good in spreading GOP propaganda.

Some people in this thread seem to follow some really, really crappy people on Twitter who present themselves as progressive

It's a recurring problem

tl;dr - there's plenty of places which have Biden's issues reported, so why use a propaganda site?

People certainly had no problems with concern-trolling over Bernie’s Cuba comments here.

Did they post literal Trump websites to do so?

Call me when people linked to alt-right pro-Trump conspiracy theory sites and twitter accounts when criticizing Bernie which is what people in this thread are doing when they post those Biden videos.


There is NEVER a valid reason to post content from alt-right crackpot MAGA sources.

they've already gone back into full Hillary 2016 mode, already proclaiming Biden's victory over trump, drawing up fanfiction 270 to win maps, working out who should be his VP and cabinet and anything that runs contrary to that is BAD FAITH POSTING that doesn't understand that obviously voters would overlook any Biden flaws

But these idiots think he’s an innocent little lamb when he was an accomplice to murder. They also don’t understand the felony murder rule but they saw it on Law and Order once so they’re experts.

Examining Bernie Sanders' Comments On Literacy In Castro-Era Cuba

“As the first South American immigrant member of Congress who proudly represents thousands of Cuban Americans, I find Senator Bernie Sanders’ comments on Castro’s Cuba absolutely unacceptable,” Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell said on Twitter.

We could actual believe the victims of Castro rule when they say the literacy program was to spread propaganda in a censored nation over an outsider like Bernie.

Literacy, Not even once.

I'm criticizing capitalists, not the working class. Well, I'm also criticizing people that are bending over backwards too for capitalism.But yes, I do realize that I should probably be dead because at least if I'm dead I'm not contributing to capitalism, but I am too much of a coward to go through the act of dying.

I don't use the phrase Become An Hero lightly, but...

Since this is era, I have to ask:

2/3  As per a source, they logged into multiple people's accounts & messaged admins 36+ hours ago to warn them of the breach. As one user confirmed, those who's accounts were accessed were warned, but as far as I can see, countless others who's data is breached havent yet been

Does this mean the person was warned of their account being accessed, of where the users accounts actioned-warned? 

sadly all of those accounts just had the following c+ped by an admin as a response

This poster is not advocating literal genocide, but mocking a white supremacist conspiracy theory ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_genocide_conspiracy_theory ) in reference to this comic https://www.resetera.com/goto/post?id=29527954

The original literacy campaign/program used teaching materials that were overtly political propaganda, including material titled "Fidel is Our Leader." The goal clearly wasn't simply to spread literacy. You cannot ignore the context of the literacy campaign.

This is due to issues and topics often being examined through the lens of the dominant group first and foremost, even when it concerns minorities.

[nachobro]

Florida has the third-highest percentage of adults lacking basic prose literacy skills of 19.7%, equaling a literacy rate of 80.3%. Florida has the lowest number of public libraries per 100,000 residents of 2.6.

Let’s clear this up: Our tech team investigated claims of a data breach and found no evidence of such on our end. We have no reason to believe our database has been compromised. What appears to have happened is that a determined troll gained access to a small number of accounts through known-leaked passwords (from breaches on other sites) and/or brute forcing weak passwords. One of the IPs used by the troll in question, not to mention the writing style, matches those used by a banned member who has long been engaged in alt right harassment against our community.

With all of that in mind we declined to engage the troll. What we did do is force the affected accounts to reset their passwords, and each of those individuals was contacted to inform them of what happened. We also updated our General Guide with recommendations on personal and account security.

Again, we have no reason to believe there has been a data breach, but both here and everywhere all members should take care to use strong passwords that are unique to each site.

with regards the hidden content (and I know the the thread is now locked) but why was this thread allowed to stay open https://www.resetera.com/threads/so-serious-question-how-attractive-is-adam-driver.171193/

Surely if it was the other way round and “boys club culture” it would be locked down and people banned.

Because it's not the same, in the same way punching up in a playful manner isn't the same as casual bigotry. The difference between the power that women and men hold even today is astronomically different, and that doesn't even begin to dig into the way women have historically been commodified, oppressed and controlled by men. Context will always matter.

Except when it doesn't, that is.

I'm sure the people who lied to the American public for almost 20 years about this war are totally telling the truth now.
We should totally trust that the people who were wrong about everything in Afghanistan but have now magically discovered the ability to know what the Taliban will do next (an ability that was sorely lacking in the years this war has been going) I'm sure they are not just a bunch of war hawks who try to keep their war going forever by leaking pro war shit to the press.

For real, has no one read the Afghanistan papers?
Those fuckers lied to the american public about this war for decades and the media laundered their bullshit in articles just like this.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/wouldnt-a-public-option-for-the-aca-eventually-become-a-single-payer-system.173706/

With Biden's nomination looming and the dream of M4A running away, I have been thinking a lot about how the ACA public option would play out if implemented.

Since in theory, so many people would flock to the government option, private insurers would slowly be put out of business or forced to compete. I see this as a good thing. Also, if Biden made having insurance mandatory and more people bought into the public option (even young healthy people), the issue of sky-high premiums would be solved.

The more I think about it, expanding the ACA with a public option isn't so bad IMO. It's not Medicare for all, but it's a helluva a lot better than what America is used to having for Healthcare.

This isn't surprising. You could tell from TLJ that Rian didn't care much about canon or established characters or world building within the SW franchise. He made his own film with his own characters with his own vision, right snack in the middle of a Star Wars trilogy. Some people liked it and some didn't.

Is also nice to see Rian Johnson confirmation of being JJ Abrams tier of hack and fraud regarding writing for films.
