This thread has been fucking great for blocking people who would have insisted, whatever this new Auschwitz thing is, it’s just as bad as something Hindenburg did.

No. They weren’t.

Generic percentage increases to immigration enforcement are not the same as Kristi Noem tweeting about SIXTY-FIVE MILLION PEOPLE, no matter how strongly you feel about the shit we were doing before.

The Idiot is talking about stripping natural-born citizens of that citizenship, and sending them all to cat-food factories in Sudan, and y’all still wanna bicker about Obama catching people crossing the border. Like you can’t figure out there’s a difference between a little over a million people, across eight years, and every Hispanic in America facing a no-trial black-hood flight to fuckoff nowhere, as soon as practically possible.

Oh right, I’m on ML. Where whatever a building is used for now is the fault of whoever built it.

No difference between fighting human trafficking and separating all children from all parents.

No difference between having immigration laws and shipping random brown people to Sudan.

Same same same nuh uh always same.

They weren’t planning to round up an entire fifth of the US population and put them in concentration camps.

I feel like that alone counts for a lot. Sorry you seem to disagree.

This is just “both sides” with more steps.

Shubbabang! There’s a name I haven’t heard since the Homestuck days.

What an obviously terrible name.

Buster: “It’s not the pronunciation that I’m worried about.”

Have you ever seen a calzone?

Thirteen furries just had an aneurysm.

Troll harder.

In English, distinguishing those two symbols has become an affectation. The straight "" style is all anyone actually types, and it’s unremarkable to see that style rendered or printed.

The length of a dash is even less important than that. Any style guide that’s insistent about it might as well demand you type movie names in a different font. Can it be done? Sure. Does it have semantic value? Maybe. But the only people who’d care also know how to pronounce LaTeX.

This is the language that abandoned an entire letter because it was hard to print.

The em dash as a concept is a relic. People now communicate those uses with a dash between spaces, or with two dashes.

It’s like worrying which direction your quotation marks curl. They don’t.

One of these panels is redundant.

“This is just a quick message to anyone out there who might be thinking of one day become an adult. I would personally advise against it.”

Extra fun on a laptop.

Listen honey, you’re going in a bag for three hours, immediately fucking now. You can either turn off nicely or get smothered by the power button.

I mean $_.

“We wanted it to work like Perl,” said someone who should have been killed on the spot.

Search “Macintosh skydiving game.” Skydive! from 1999? You mean Skydive!? Don’t scroll down, it’s all Skydive!.

Search “classic Mac skydiving game.” Skydive!'s an iMac-era classic, so you must want another twenty of the same thing.

Search “classic Mac freefall game.” Ohhh, you mean Sky Diving Simulator, from the same year.

Deep sigh.

Search “classic Mac game where you can drop a guy on a horse.” Stunt Copter, yeah.

FINALLY.
