Unsurprising. Lone actor grievance fuelled violence also often has misogynistic roots.

Let me tell you, as someone who isn’t getting news from television or the formerly awesome Breaking News (a digital news aggregator that was bought by NBC and later shutdown in 2016), things are bad when you hear about a mass shooting a day after it occurs. This shouldn’t be happening but it should be the worst thing making headlines. The fact it got drown out by President Dumbberfuckle Trumperdickle isn’t good.

As a reminder again, not a transgender not a drag queen not a Democrat, not an immigrant.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

But are we sure he wasn't transgender, or maybe a drag queen?

Does this terrorist go to the feds for prosecution and get the death penalty?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 21 hours ago

Best I can give is, THouGhtS aNd PrAyErS.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are you kidding? He's going to the feds for an interview.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

I was, of course, being facetious. These fuckers will build statues for serial killers.

I'm out of thoughts and prayers. How about some jokes or a riddle?... George Carling was the greatest!

Not as good as Richard Prior!

My comment doesn't add to this conversation, but I'm curious about why you quote the entirety of the comment that you were responding directly to.

I'm not going to tell you what you can and can't do, but it seems pointless and a waste of screen space to me, so I'd like to understand why some people do this if you don't mind sharing.

It's really not a big deal though, I'm just interested in the why.

My guess has always been that it's a habit from forum days. Does that ring true for you?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I intentionally misspelled Richard Pryor's name, as a joke response to him saying George Carling instead of George Carlin.

Wanted to make sure the joke didn't die in case he saw the mistake and edited it. 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Naw you nailed the joke but markko has a good point as well. I wouldve quoted after the ellipses, personally, but my internettiquette is still very much a product of my play-by-post RPG forum days.

However, you do you man, and I hope you have a good day!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Lol I don't disagree, but I'm lazy and on Boost it's easier to just quote-reply the whole comment instead of editing it down.

Have a splendid day yourself!

Surprising nobody who knew him...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No shit. Had he had radical leftist views, he would have violently redistributed his lunch.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And now I'm imagining leftists going around projectile vomiting on people.

Better: projectile vomiting on the great orange turd or anyone in his assministration.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

ah shit, yea... this is how it reads

Oh, I should plug this also : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophallaxis
anyway... don't get any ideas

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, no, you see - that's how the redneck Nazis feed each other. Specifically ass to mouth; that's why his flunkies don't complain about the stench from his diapers - makes em hungry!

I know you said don't get any ideas... Oops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I was having peanut butter, but there's no way you could have known

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

I am so sorry.

No, I lied, I'm laughing my ass off.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

wow, the psychotic mass shooter was a far right terrorist? whoda thunk? It's ~~almost like it's~~ fucking ALWAYS THEM.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Time to charge her.
