Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post

Isn't that literally a Miss Manner's lesson?

I don't buy it. I wanna see who the "joke" was shared with originally along with details about the additional "context".

Elon Musk after somebody invents time travel: "why is everybody only going back in time to assasinate Hitler???"

So only free speech for the moment?

I'm also noticing a lack of Elon Musk assassination attempts.

Would creating the cyber truck be considered as a suicide attempt?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

More like opening his big stupid mouth to opine on Russia / Ukraine, or Palestine / Israel, or European civil war or other such examples would be.

I am trying to figure out what I can say without it sounding like I am asking for someone to be shot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

If I'm honest, and bear in mind that I HATE ELON MUSK, I don't think he was calling for anyone's assassination. He is just such an idiot that he didn't realize that his attempt at a fabricating a conspiracy would be misconstrued as such a call.

I've heard that autistic people are usually more concerned with justice than the average person. Is it because they're really bad at hiding unjust meaning behind their words?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Narcissists tho care less about justice and more about revenge. Guess which aspect dominates his personality?

XX, formerly known as Musk.
