I disagree.

Removing these discussions simply normalizes it and allows it to flourish. You can't allow these things to go unchecked or else no one will simply pay attention. How much popularity did Trump lose from "Project 2025"? Imagine if all the people out there didn't talk about it and discuss how truly awful the plan was. What about when he mentioned how he would encourage Israel to level all of Gaza? The controversy surrounding those kinds of statements is the only reason why Arab-Americans are hesitant to not throw in their vote with Harris. You don't tolerate intolerance. That just allows it to grow and take root in your society.

Biden leaving the office right as he's creating a whole new regional war because of that sweet AIPAC money.

He's the biggest recipient of lobbying money by Pro-Israeli groups out of any Senator in history. He's going to create a whole new generational conflict in the Middle East for some extra cash.

Funny. I remember him saying it wasn't feasible to get something set up and working for the population when he first won his majority. Now, when he's so unpopular, look at what he says.

Leg's are half your body (more or less). On top of that some exercises involve your back and core muscles, like squats. So you're actually engaging a good chunk of muscles when working out legs.

If it's true to the character the I don't see a problem with it. The whole issue with things like blackface is more of an issue with stereotypes and racial profiling that are typically associated with it. This isn't a race thing, so I don't see that being a problem here. You're just cosplaying a character you like.

There's been some progress on addressing these issues, especially when it's targeted towards children. But until we actually really go after the perpetrators and the enablers, it will continue. No more normalizing these actions or dismissing it for the sake of the persons "career" or some other bullshit. This should not be ok, under any circumstances.

Based purely on this comment alone. You seem to have the most fitting username I've ever seen. That was wild read lol. Thanks for the laugh.

The Troll thing I mentioned was more regarding the hate for .world accounts. I'm a little skeptical of some, especially the newer ones.

I've seen some of Flying Squids' comments, but its not like I've been following them closely. I don't think they're saying anything wrong, based on what I've seen. I wouldn't begrudge someone for being passionate. That just shows me they care.

Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

You betcha buddy. Joking. For myself, at least.

Idk what's going on with Flying Squid, but a lot of the trolls accounts I see are from .world so people are probably starting to associate that instance with those kinds of people.

15k is a very normal price to flip an entire kitchen. Not even counting the appliances. Just the flooring and cabinets.

No doubt, it's still a huge failure on Biden to rein him though.

Netanyahu has been in power for a long time. Every other president in the past was able to handle him even though they didn't really like him. Biden's lack of control of the situation to me shows his lack of leadership and ability to take charge. Not a good quality for POTUS.
