  • And this will be the twist around

    It’s funny being accused of twisting something around when I’m pointing out that the poster is lying about what was said, and implicitly making calls to violence over that lie.

    Bloodless coup quote extracted from a far right YouTube.

    Except the poster didn’t say “I heard this on some far right youtube thing” but made a claim about what the head of the heritage foundation said.

    The gentleman on display is the president of the heritage foundation, the heritage foundation is heavily involved in writing Project 2025.

    And how does that make the lie the top level poster made about what he said any more true? I don’t follow your logic here.


  • It really depends on how complicated your set up is and how much you value your privacy. I use personal capital (now empower), which also helps me manage a budget as well, and see our multiple investment accounts all in one place, so I can balance both mine and my wife’s. So I would recommend that, with the caveat that you might not feel comfortable sharing all of that with a third party.






  • Microsoft expects me to pay for Office 365? No, fuck you, I’ve got LibreOffice and your older Office software still works as good. Your word processing program, Word, hasn’t really changed that much since 2007 or even 2003. Hell, maybe not since 1997!

    So I moved to foss probably about 20 years ago and have been going back and forth between libre office and open office.

    A couple of years ago my wife wanted me office, so I got the subscription…and man it’s so much better than either of those two, and to suggest that maybe it hasn’t changed since 1997 is mindboggling.

    I’m a big proponent of not signing up for these services, but this paragraph really misses the mark for me.






  • Only non-black racists try to claim that Negro is not a racial slur.

    Ive presented straight up facts.

    lol. You really have no idea how logically ridiculous you are, do you.

    Because you’re more concerned about being “right” than actually changing your viewpoint.

    Just remember that you are clearly projecting here. You think I must have this short-coming because you see it in yourself.

    I won’t respond any more to any further arguments on your part.

    Next time I suggest just moving on rather than taking childish insulting swings at the other person and then running away. I’m happy to debate you on the topic, if you’re willing to not ridiculously and illogically accuse me of being racist because I disagree with you.


  • It’s not a word I use myself. I’ve just never considered it offensive, just dated. If someone told me it was offensive to them, I wouldn’t use it (but again, I don’t use it anyway so I don’t see how this wouldn’t come up) around them.

    But, honestly, I would have no problem saying “the United Negro College Fund” if I were talking about it, but if there were a similar entity that used the far more offensive n-word in it, I would not feel comfortable using it and wouldn’t say it at all.

    And I find this all kind of silly because they freely use it throughout the article, where i doubt the same could be said about the other n-word.
