Sweat shaming, never did I think this would transpire here…

Thanks for the extensive, informative and complete reply! Very helpful in trying to understand the nuances of the English language.

Thanks! I think @lemonmelon explained it well. Seems I was skirting the definition by a whisker and got away with it but still failed as a joke or pun should be understandable without having to pull out a Latin dictionary 😀

Question: I thought to 'transpire' could mean 'shedding moisture' and/or 'things that happened or are revealed'

English is not my first language though so there's that

Lobbying = Death of Democracy

It really is as simple as that. The moment you allow one group of people/companies to have 24/7 access to politicians and yet the general population only gets to vote every couple of years, you are effectively done with democracy.

Nothing you can do now but please remember this once/if the great reset is done 😁

Moms For Hitler

I wish people would use the right name

I will make this statement once more as I see people defending the bombing of Palestinians because of various reasons. I will not go into these reasons as they matter zero to my statement. Here it is:

You do not bomb your way through children to get at your target. Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin could be hiding amongst or beneath, you Do Not Bomb Your Way Through Children.

This is a simple fact and if you cannot agree with this then in my mind you are despicable and a monster. Vaporizing children into a red mist will never solve your problems. Past transgressions of your enemy does not change this simple fact. It really is that simple.

Yet I feel people here seem to forget this simple rule. Disgusting.

Business outsources work they were hired to do : smart business! Employee outsources his work he was hired to do: scam!

I hate that.

"JD Vance's mother stole prescribed medications from her patients"

Please show me how this is related to illegal drug imports, borders, Biden, etc.

JD Vance's mother was a stealin' junkie, plain and simple.

#JDVanceCrimeFamily

“The police did nothing. I looked over at the police many times in the midst of the chaos only to find some laughing at certain points.”

Many despicable things happened that day, of course, but this one tells a whole substory in itself.

Forget the technical BS of this moron, lets focus on the gofundme nonsense.
So I pay into this gofundme thing and that makes me partial owner of that bridge, just like the others who participated. In what fantasy world do you live if you think that bridge will not be blocked for all others who did not participate? Will the people out of the kindness of their hearts allow others to cross that bridge?
If you believe that this bridge will not cause people to throw hissyfits and consider it private then I have a bridge to sell you 😂

Turbo... It's that damn "turbo" again but now AI

In the eighties "turbo" was all the rage and I kid you not, everything had the label "turbo" on it. Now it will be "AI" all over things. Hold on to your hats boys and girls who were not alive in the eighties, it's gonna be wild...

That is correct, even the GOP agrees with you.

That would be such a Caboose type of defense 😂

“Time... line? Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round.”

You will probably not like this and I for sure don't but there is no denying it anymore. Half the US, or probably more like 30-ish percent, is fascist and/or racist and substantially sprinkled in religious fairy dust. The country harbors persons who are hateful, ignorant, dumb, like to vote against their own interest and easily fooled by con-men and crooks. And again, religion is the root of many issues here.

How this came to be is a whole other story and I partially blame the Dutch and British. Being Dutch myself I want to offer my sincere apologies for this. ask me why I think this is the case and I will try to explain as best as I can.

job charities

So can we then dispel the capitalist notion that they are "job creators"?
Clearly this is not the case as we see here, you even seem to cheer this sacking jobs on as a good thing.

Kamala needs 1 state
Trump needs multiple states

All kidding aside, OP did a great job compressing it all in the last 2 paragraphs.

The top brass at Boeing probably won't be getting a lot of leisure time until then

Why do you say this? What gives you the idea that they will face some form of workload pressure because of this?
The only people not getting leisure time will be the persons responsible fixing this. The consequences for the top brass will be Golden Parachuting to the next job, losing stock or face devaluation of said stock.

If you honestly think top brass is actually fixing this or face some form of heavy workload then you'd be wrong.

PS: This is not a manifesto on the inequalities of the current system 😊
It's based on 40+ years of working where I have never seen top brass taking any form of responsibility or workload. They 'connect', 'network' and god knows what. All fair play if hired for that but please, do not confuse top management and actual work on products or being involved in fixing products. Also, never seen them 'empower' or 'facilitate' so others can work more efficiently or something like that.

Ok, small personal manifesto after all 😇

Musk has been mad all along. People just start to realize it.

Funny difference here is though that slaves were kidnapped and sold, had no choice in the matter.

This benefit is akin to force someone into hard labour and then start selling getting calluses as a ‘benefit’. Your welcome. Absurd of course.

And rape, do not forget the russian basterds consider rape a normal thing to do in countries you occupy:

"Understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometres through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle"
"We lecture our soldiers too much; let them have their initiative." -- Stalin

Expect nothing but brutal barbarian filth from the russians, it is what they are used to and are told is OK to do. It is a despicable state filled with horrible people. Yes, this is generalizing but in this case it is warranted.

This.

Never let anyone who identifies as or admits to voting republican get away with this. Always remind them they had a convicted criminal rapist pussy grabber who stole from from a kids cancer charity running the show. Not just a candidate, he ran the whole clown show.

Doesn't matter if it's an uncle, dad, mom, grandpa or grandma; always be relentless with this message and have no room for sympathy or forgiveness. Be the bigger person? Time to 'heal'? No, no, no. These people wanted to destroy America and you have to throw that into their face relentlessly.

Sure, have a family dinner or some party with family and friends but the moment politics comes up, you hammer this message home and tell them the discussion on politics is over because they have been proven not to be trusted at all when politics is involved. Uncle Bob want to talk fishing lures? Sure, no problem. Uncle Bob wants to talk politics in any way, shape or form? Be very, very fucking brutal in cutting the traitors of and shut them down. They have lost any and all admission to discuss (or, in my opinion, be part of) politics.

Never let is be asked: That Ukraine gave up it's ultimate deterrent, nuclear weapons, in favor of having the guarantee of russia they will not bother Ukraine, that russia stole Crimea and Ukraine nor the west did not go full blown war over it.

You are an idiot making excuses for the war mongers in russia. They rolled into a country without provocation but under the umbrella of broken promises and already stolen Ukraine land.

I can just about guarantee that most of your day to day life is influenced by what people did in the past in regards to protests. Could be as huge as in civil war or smaller local protest to combat small issues. Your rights and comforts have been written in the blood of those who preceded you. Sometimes metaphorically, sometimes very real blood.

Protesting helps and did help.

Is Moms for Liberty still a thing?

Been calling them 'Moms for Hitler' for months and months now.

This is kinda on you, you chose to visit hexbear. Just block that instance. And while you are at it, also block lemygrad.

Remains the question: why the self-flagellation?

Cars do not eject passengers violently onto the road. Safety belt laws try to prevent that from happening and it works rather good. So you still get to drive but there are regulations to prevent the human factor of causing to be ejected from cars.

I dunno if this makes sense to you, maybe not the best comparison but it popped into my head suddenly.

Identity politics 😀

Before ‘both sides’ starts kicking in, this violent rhetoric is a pure republican tactic

Trump was pointing out that she is also Indian.

This is not what I saw, he was claiming she only identified as Indian and now suddenly is black. He presented it as a 'flip' on race identification. So no 'also' was meant here, you are injecting soft wording to cover up something, what it is I can only guess at. You do seem obsessed by what race Kamala is though. And not out of interest either it seems, you are presenting some weird obsessive line where Kamala is lying about or dismissing some part of her heritage?

What could be your driver to be so obsessed by what was presented to you by a racist guy and feel the need to run with that racist lying twisted line?

I strongly disagree. All lobbying is wrong and could be considered bribery. At a minimum it is circumventing democracy. We see a case in front of us and see what happens in broad daylight, what you call bribery. Do you honestly belief this is a rare case or can we say this (lobbying) is not a transparent part of the process and thus an incentive to bribe/coerce politicians?

But I understand that the system is what it is atm and lots of people have been accustomed to it, up to the point of defending it.

Let me repeat: Even if Hitler, Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot were hiding where children are, you do not bomb your way through children to get at your target.

See, it really is that simple, no discussion or comparisons needed.

I don’t care about her race

Yes you do, you are all over the comments pushing this Indian thing. You are hung-up on this for some odd, might I say weird, reason.

very much pushing an agenda that she was a Black woman

Not what I saw. This was an event organized by black journalists at an NABJ conference. Of course they will hone in on the 'black part' of Kamala as she has always identified as Indian and black. It makes 100% sense in that setting to ask the proven racist to account for himself on past expressions towards black people. Trump tried to muddy the waters by claiming she never ever identified as black, only as Indian. That is wrong and racist. You throw yourself all over the place to try and see if Trump had a point, something deep down you must know to be a false claim.

You are seen as normalizing the reprehensible behavior of Trump with your posts. Do with this information what you will.

I am done trying to argue, reason or spend time with someone who takes the position as you have done. Have a great day!

The left/liberals always have to provide evidence and the right knows this and constantly force them to give more and more facts, always asking for more. Liberals feel compelled to comply. This is a trap set by right wingers to stifle meaningful discussion because you will be constantly on the defense.

Yet the right/conservatives are not bound by this and get away with baseless lies and it is useless to ask for evidence, you will either get nothing or false facts.

And what if he gives an apology? It will never be a sincere one but let’s say he utters the words.
Then it’s back to endorsing him, right? I’m sure it will be.

He just told you how he truly thinks and I believe morons still think they are in the “in group” and support these vile republicans.

In my country we have an old saying that I learned from Jewish store/market people:
"I wish you many employees..."
The meaning is that while it is fun to have a store, having to deal with employees can be a bit daunting and frustrating, a toll on your sleep and sanity, so in effect they are wishing you sorrow and despair.

After having worked with Indian colleagues and managers for 10+ years I developed my own version of it:
"I wish you an Indian manager..."
This means that I kinda dislike you and I can get great pleasure of watching you struggle with the insanity of what is Indian management.
Great people to work with, absolute idiots and delusional sociopaths once they become part of management.

It's a joke but in reality, both sayings do have some sort of merit to them.

This guy gives me that lunatic Indian management vibe...

Just give me the tools, as a user, to block instances. Not just the way it is done recently but truly block an instance and all it's posts and users. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance and all things related to it.

The difference here is that this ‘investigation’ was called for by republicans before they even knew what to investigate. And on top of that, even admitting they have no evidence to present (suspicions is not evidence) yet claim to have evidence. Witnesses they claim to have seem to be lost somehow and cannot be produced for investigation.

And based on this obviously flimsy, if not outright lies, you want to be ‘reasonable’?

I distrust your honesty
