I have never once used the interjection "ough" (I will either say "oh" or "ow" or "ugh" or "oof" etc), all of which are different with more knowable intent), and never used to see anyone else use it, yet I see other people writing it more and more.

I didn't even think it was a real word until today

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

i am not mad at anyone here for making this point, it's a good point, but please consider checking the comments to see if anyone has already made that point before replying

i dislike accusations of luddism thrown at AI critics because i clearly like technology a lot! i use ~4 different computers regularly, i adore my 3D printer, i don't even brew coffee without involving a microprocessor. but all those technologies have proven themselves useful or at least entertaining

JFC. Look, a "majority of voters" didn't support interracial marriage or civil rights or women voting etc. This idea that human & civil rights are based on what every dumbfuck bigot does or doesn't agree with is TOXIC. We're toast as a species if we give in on this.

This is such a not real issue it drives me insane. Why can't any democrats just stand up and say "Who fucking cares? Is that trans athlete the reason your wages haven't gone up in 20 years? Do you genital-obsessed weirdos realize that the planet is on fire? Can we talk about real problems please?"

Always fucking whining. Just an endless pity party by a man who’s been handed everything in life. Constantly playing the victim about anyone who makes fun of him while waving a toy chainsaw as he laughs about firing people. (hands on hips) “People are so mean!” Loser behavior.

@edburmila.bsky.social

That JB Pritzker sounds relevatory reflects how far a whole generation of Democratic politicians strayed from the absolute basics of electoral politics: say what you mean, act like you sincerely like your constituents, and don't constantly bring up how much you like and agree with your opponents.

Consistent pattern with conspiracy theories these days:
1. Conservative media say X.
2. Scientists say probably not X.
3. Liberals say nothing.
4. Majority of public weakly believes X, because it’s the only viewpoint they repeatedly hear from media.
5. Conservatives claim X is “suppressed”.

Yes! Scientists have always stressed that that we don't know anything for sure and should investigate all possibilities. The lab leak has been debated in national media endlessly and is now endorsed by the majority of the public. It's objectively not suppressed!
