Keep in mind the prevailing sentiments of any post are heavily influenced by who shows up first. In this case, a number of people showed up with opinions antagonistic to your beliefs. It's not necessarily representative of the community, just the majority of the people in the comment section at that time. Those with beliefs that run contrary to the prevailing theme in the comment section may decide just not to comment instead of being involved in conflict, further reinforcing the bias.

I agree to an extent. I feel the difference is it's popular in conservative culture to do things simply to "own the libs", even if that behavior is self destructive. Actions primarily meant to harm others celebrated simply because they hurt others shouldn't be condoned.

If the pursuit of a more just and equitable society results in the tears of fascists, misogynists, and/or racists, I'll gladly bathe in them.

That's actually an urban legend. Most of it was shown again by the NFL back in 2016 after they used various incomplete sources to patch the majority of the material back together.

The bit about the tape has a grain of truth to it. A man found a copy of most of the show in his father's attic, had it restored, and wanted to sell it to the NFL but the two parties couldn't agree on a price. The man and the curator of the organization which restored it both had watched it. It was then kept in a vault due to its value.

It was recently shown to the public by the organization that restored it, so I'm assuming it was never purchased by the NFL. Bummer for the finder.

Edit: I haven't watched all of this, but it appears to be on YouTube. Grab a copy before the NFL finds out!

Stocks are just the rich white man slot machine.

Same, I could eat all the grapefruit. I'd continue eating grapefruit even as I destroyed my toilet due to all the grapefruit I've eaten.

Do you have any solid information to provide or are you just making vague allusions toward some unsubstantiated assumptions so you can justify to yourself being a judgmental ass?

It's so incredibly fucked how "you people" are judgmental shits who are busy jerking yourself off every time you can "well ackshally" someone.

The gasoline powered blowers are also one of the worst polluting motors in common use.

Yowza. My dad did the same until he died (shockingly, of COVID), so I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I know what it's like having a crazy parent and it sucks.

They're hourly. I still can't believe this is legal.

Edit: found an article on it. Spoiler: it's legal because the government makes all sorts of exceptions for airlines. Their unions even have to get government permission to strike!
