I feel like a lot of the "White Pride" people are now going to "Love your heritage" because it's a much better dog-whistle. Not to say that all the "Love your heritage" people are totally racist, but the image of a conventionally attractive aryan woman along with that message seems like it's geared toward this idea of the purity of the white race.

:agreed: I also get the feeling that this sorta thing will be posted by the racist "white pride"

American presidential elections are actually held every 4 years in November. There's just a bunch of buildup as the two parties (and the tiny ones that nobody cares about because we're dominated by Democrats and Republicans and some independent or Green Party motherfucker is almost like a historical footnote) decide which candidate they're going to put up for the real election.

Are you loving making GBS threads me? There's going to be almost an another entire year of this?

Holy poo poo! When will you guys hurry up and pick someone? It's been like a year and you still haven't even gotten through the pre-election bullshit. When do actually know who's president?

We don't. It's kind of like Christmas except poo poo. Once the elections are over you get like a week of everyone being optimistic about how good the new guy will do/pessimistic about how he'll kill us all and then everyone starts to prepare for the next election.

As for the avatar: 2nd Virginia Tech student arrested in Lovell case; pond searched

quote:

Online, Lovell’s family and friends have been memorializing the 13-year-old and changing their profile photos to a drawing of a panda on a sparkly purple background in her honor.

I assume it's a picture that she liked and that's why they're doing it.

She also tried to sue the Pleasant Hill PD for $80 million because she was thrown in jail after assaulting shmorky and she claimed it was the most traumatizing event for her since 9/11 and the only reason she was pulled over was because she was Jewish(????) and the cops were racist(???) and her family is full of lawyers(???) and she printed out a photo of her arms which she spent all night cutting with a knife to show them proof that they had gosh darn better well get the $80 million check ready.

Needless to say, nothing was heard of the lawsuit since then.



Long story short, schmorky's insane fiance is off her meds and posting like there's no tomorrow on every social media platform she can get her hands on. She's convinced Lowtax is a pedophile and his wife is going to murder her. The thread linked above is trying to track all of it while it happens live, but GODDAM there's a lot to look at.

I love how asking a simple question like "what are toxins?" makes these people freeze up.

Of course, he's still voting Trump.

Literally every point after the first one is at best an exaggeration, but mostly just plain old lies, so that macro is just plain old IoSM.

And even the first one is dubious, "let" in this case implies they weren't doing it out of negligence and idiocy.

quote:

Clients would attempt to justify their own abortions as necessary compared with the frivolous abortions of other women. Many health workers said, as Janice did, that they often assured such clients that their situations were not unusual. This recurring conversation frustrated staff members, who often found it easiest to simply ignore clients' anti-abortion remarks.
