2 + 2 = 5 for sufficiently large values of two

Tolerance is absolutely a virtue for sufficiently intolerant definitions of tolerant.

@amiserabilist

Trump was an abomination and we all knew it going in.. But my god if Hillary had won we'd all be dead from nukes by now, or at least well along with WWIII.

Trump wasnt great, but eh.

Remember the days when tolerance and appreciating new perspectives and differences of opinion were considered a virtue?

Peppridge farms remembers.

@trinsec No I think you have the wrong one. This movie has a flying bed that is not silly in the slightest.

Watching me some Bedknobs and Broomsticks! Used to be one of my favorites as a kid. Its been a hot minute.

@mike805

I mean last time this happened we had most of the USA burning to the ground for months on end... I even agree with them about the whole thing and all, but that doesnt justify literally burning down businesses, homes, and facilities.

@volkris

White knighting is definately a huge element here. That is a bit of a left narrative. Tehy are taught how there is so much injustice in the world... and there is, lots, but its exagerated beyond the already high point it is at to the point where the left thinks its literally everywhere.

So they have this sense of white knighting and championing the cause. But then when they struggle to find anything as bad as they imagined they instead need to turn every little moderate offense into being the worse thing since the Nazis... this hyperbole combined with actively seeking things to white knight results in a lot of misplaced toxicity for sure.

@mike805

@volkris That too... if they had just never uttered his name again he would have been a distant memory.

@mike805 I would say in the current cycle of hate the left is clearly the less tolerant to discuss, but the right is less tolerant not to discuss. The left will crank the toxicity up to 11 the second you want to discuss any nuance beyond the party line or the script... But the right is the opposite. If you dontfeel like talking about their conspiracy of the day they get triggered by the silence.

@mike805 I dunno about "radical trans" whatever that is...

But its the same as with wars. They are radicalized and extreme, and that comes fromt eh same treatment they received, it goes in cycles and every cycle strengthens the other side rather than weakening it like you intend.

The right has given rise to the radical left, which in turn has radicalized the right, which in turn further radicalized the left.

Its very much a two way street. I just happen to be calling out one side right now, dont think for a second the other side is exempt.

@thor confidence without the evidence to back it (or the skills) is just lying convincingly. and sure lying convincingly can get you jobs :)

@pies

By law, an by default, overtime is any time worked beyond 40 hours in a week. Overtime by law must be paid at 1.5x the base rate by default in most states.

There are of course exceptions on a per-contract or per-state basis. But thats the standard.

> Are you one of those people who gets power from denying a voice to young people.

I am not. And considering you didnt understand my statement why did you already conclude this negative conclusion BEFORE you bothered to hear the explanation so you could understand what you judge so you can judge it fairly?

> what do you mean by don’t go to school? Please clarify.

I am referring to the movement of kids "protesting" by refusing to go to school (A movement Greta got famous for starting). I am all for them protesting, but protesting by skipping education is a horrible take that should be mocked, not praised.

Saying kids should skip school to protest environmental issues is like arguing that People should dump crude oil into rivers to protest lack of educational access in the USA... Its an idiotic, and hollow way to protest that is ultimately self-defeating.

@GayDeceiver

@gabriel The more radicalized and abusive you are to people who are more moderate the more you are going to radicalize against you... people are emotional creatures, you being toxic towards someone for not being as radicalized to the left as you will ultimately just radicalize them to the right rather than being a moderate leftie. Do it enough and people support Trump purely as a hate-response to how they have been mistreated.

@thor Could be, if you have the confidence and the skills to back it up you can easily ve 3x above the average, at least outside of europe (europe really abuses its talent when it comes to pay for the sake of equality).

I wonder if democrats even realize that even if they are objectively the best choice, the overwhelming toxicity from that community to any level of criticism results in massive number of voters who are going to vote for trump purely as an emotional response to being mistreated by the community.. purely out of spite.

In fact at this point I think Democrats and the way they treat people is probably the only real reason Trump is part of the landscape at all.

@thor It kicks in once people are impressed by you and start expecting ti. At least for me.
