So lemme get this clear: we have to make laws forcing pregnant women to carry Down-syndrome fetuses to term whether they want to or not, because of their “God-given dignity and potential”. But we shouldn’t have any toys reminding us of their existence once they’re born and grow into actual kids, because that’s all disgusting and woke.
I would also be on board if it were extended to sausage. While some of your examples are indeed abominations, for the most part you know what you are getting despite the name, while sometimes turkey sausage is not labelled as such and gives you a bland surprise when you taste it.
What’s interesting about this logic in the article you quoted is that either the law is toothless because all the mother has to say is “I want the abortion for a different reason” or else the law declares “mother knows fetus is Downs” with “that’s only possible reason she could want an abortion.”
I’d rather the machines be as “woke” as possible, so that, when they inevitably become more powerful than us, they don’t do what humans often do to others they have power over.
Besides, this sounds a whole lot like complaining that someone isn’t raising their kid to be a nazi. If they want some nazi AI’s, they can build their own supercomputer and feed it the training data that reflects their values.
If a fetus is a person, then there may be a whole lot of illegally incarcerated people that need to be released.
Edit, never heard of Restoring America, lets find a different cite:
Good question! Usually, the… vague, yes… rules for inclusion on the list are
It’s not policy debate. This rule is “iffy” as some of the things on the list… like 2A… can be considered policy.
It’s not a proposal by someone in power to make that proposal (or a candidate). For example, Trump buying Greenland. Stupid, yes, but as President, it was his to propose. (Shades of my James Watt/Beach Boys call)
The freakout should be about something completely irrelevant to anyone except very few people. Terry Schiavo. The Mr Potato Head freakout. Big Bird. IOW, culture-war shit.
(And this is big) It must be driven by the rw infotainment machine.
Without #4, it’s hard to claim it is an actual “freakout”.
So to the point, stupid things said by Trump usually doesn’t count. Stupid things said by Tucker Carlson definitely count. If Carlson, et al, pick this up and drive it, then it would definitely count.
This might fit in the schadenfraude thread also. Unfortunately I can’t provide any cite for this because it’s from the most recent John Oliver episode, which I can’t find yet on the internet.
JO showed clips of right wing media having their cereal getting pissed in:
Ben Shapiro (pouty): “Project Feritas no longer has, basically, any reason for being.”
Candice Owens: “When you tell me they’re gettting rid of James O’Keefe you’re telling me that Project Veritas is over.”
And damn if only I coulda gotten a video of Steve Bannon, here, looking at his most affronted, his most put-upon , that he has ever looked - it never made me happier, than it did, right then, to look at that utterly gross-as-fuck visage. Boo-hooing: “It’s, it’s, it’s, unconscionable, what went on, here. Unconscionable, for our movement, and the nation at large. James O’Keefe is a national treasure, full stop.”
Like, a treasure at getting headbonked for not paying lawyers?
I’m sure that Its somewhere in one of the posts above, but is there a link to the complete list?
I don’t want to offer suggestions until I’ve had a chance to check whether they have already been included.
As a final suggestion if such a link exists, it might be worthwhile asking the mods if they can retroactively add it to the OP so that its easy to find.
