It's called an idiom, not a colloquialism.

yeah i don't click links in places like this. i don't enjoy meatspin redirects like you do.

Maybe you're right. English isn't even my first language, but I still speak it better than 90% of you.

How much korean do you speak bro? Why do you gotta pick people who primarily speak other languages?

Racist.

lol nice. my favorite sitcom EVER

*SIDE NOTE*

You're all freaks, so this is as good a place as any.

My GF just yelled at me with me. I bought silicon base lube. she has some hoity toity 4 million thread bedding.

Does anyone know how to get silicon based lubricants out of fabrics? The shit doesn't interact with water, so its hard as hell to wash out of bedsheets.

BUT it doesn't dry up in minutes like, or immediately soak into the skin like water based lubes do. I tried to explain this, to no avail.

maybe one of you alt lifestyle folks would have had some experience? theres just some places in the world that don't self-lubricate.

Yeah sure i could google it, and i probably will, but you know, mental images. you're welcome.

These rioters are mostly peaceful protestors

It's dumb and bad gaslighting.

Yes and no. The violence imposed by the will of BLM is borne of being Actually and Demonstrably deplatformed. The implied threat of violence by the right is a response to the perceived threat of being platformed.

One is a response to absolutes. The other is a threatened response to the threat of absolutes.

Both are equally proportional to actuality.

I hate it when people try to convince me that BLM is organized or has a singular mission or goal. It was practically born out of a protest as it turned into a riot, whatever it think's it is isnt accurate, it is a mix of all kinds of things.

BLM probubly is a protest group

Antifa is a counter protest group

Anarchists are just there to destroy the entire country and see what happens

Fred just wants to watch people go ape shit

The riots, are made up of all kinds of people, BLM wasn't the riots, they were the protest, the people there of all types were the riots.

Same for Jan 6th, some went there to protest, some went to counter protest the counter protestors, some went to destroy the country and see what happens, and some just went to see people go ape shit.

The same goes for the other side, both are made up of angry Americans, both are identical mirror images of each other and both are born from the same societal breakdown.

Neither are anything more than riots.

We could debate the minutia of the cause of said riots till the end times is over and never get to the bottom of it beyond, our society is collapsing. Hopefully we put it back together before we go too far!

People who assisted the US military are being literally tortured right now. Tens of thousands of US citizens are stranded there right now fearing for their lives. A 12 year old could have come up with a better exit strategy than Biden did. He knows how bad he fucked up, which is why he is back to hiding in his fucking basement not taking any questions for the past week

It's nice to see someone acknowledge how disgraceful it is that we let bureaucracy prevent us from honoring our debt to the interpreters and afghans who worked at our embassy posts and bases. It is sickening.

Only slightly less sickening are the partisan hacks who are outraged over this, but were quiet when Donald Trump abandoned almost two decades of diplomacy and let Erdogan massacre the Kurds we had made similar promises to.

Feel free to link to your posts showing how a 12 year old could have handled that situation better.

If you defend the rioters, before you argue any more, just stop and think and answer this question: "Why were they there?"

I know that (((((!!!!! I. ???)))) Did not take time off work and incur the expense to go down to capitol hill on Jan 6th to insurrect, because (((!!! I. ???))) understood the threat of deplatformation as being perspective, and even if it was ACTUAL it was actual for the point of balance.

Righteous is not a matter of majority support, or the balance point of the power differential.

Right is right and wrong is wrong, independent of majority opinion.

The intent was to overturn the election and overthrow government, so yeah, it was insurrection, no matter how stupidly incompetent it was. That was the point of the exercise I proposed.

"Government" has overstepped their bounds though. As a denizen of the left, you cannot say "government" has not overstepped their bounds, unless you dismiss BLM to do so. Just because the right is wrong doesn't mean the left is right.

The left is right.

I mean, you gotta be fucking retarded to make that distinction, don't you?
