You OK Marie? 😯

don't forget to verify that she's actually read the question before you read her answer

[Lexi Darling]

She read exactly what she was criticizing, as did I. I don't know what's so funny here. We were referring to how the headline reads and the impression it gives, only that.

oh yeah that's just how I have grown to talk to Hawk over the years. Sorry if I sound snappish towards you though, you seem friendly but I kind of feel like I'm talking to a wall

I'm not forming an opinion on the article but on the title, which I've read, you absolute oaf

personally i'd be embarrassed

you should be embarrassed more often, it would stop you from your attempts at wittiness

[Toy Revolver]

jj - could you tell me what my opinion is on these comments- i don't want to have to read them myself and come up with my own conclusions

thanks

seriously, this is like the time you didn't understand what I was saying about quantum mechanics and then you tried to accuse me of embarrassing myself

you literally said matter could be created lol

[Marie Monday]

dude come on, don't tell me you've forgotten the whole discussion

for anyone interested, I pointed out that matter can spontaneously be created out of vacuum in for instance electron/positron pairs. I never claimed matter isn't conserved, which was the original misunderstanding

[Toy Revolver]

i mentioned the law of conservation of matter/energy specifically in a discussion on why technology cannot overcome and endless exponential population growth and you and elph laughed and claimed matter could indeed be created

you weren't saying anything about electrons

that's the reason i left discord because the discourse was so stupid (like having opinions on things you haven't read) that i felt it was beneath me- and that you actually taught physics makes it even funnier

[Marie Monday]

that's a radical revision of history. I remember that I did actually mention electrons and positrons but that doesn't even matter. I wasn't discussing the whole technology thing with you either, that was Elph. Somewhere in that discussion he pointed out that matter can be created and I just chimed in to point out that that was correct

[Toy Revolver]

just because you googled some esoteric experiment doesn't change that you chimed in to claim matter can be created which is fundamentally false

In a case that reflects Hawaii's nuanced and complicated relationship with race, two Native Hawaiian men are scheduled to be sentenced Thursday for a federal hate crime in the brutal beating of a white man who tried to move into their remote, traditional fishing village.

if people want their space don't infringe

that goes for appalachian white folks and radical feminists too

folks need to stay in their lane

People in the U.K. have had to ration salad staples like tomatoes and cucumbers for the past two weeks amid a shortage of fresh vegetables. Shelves of fresh produce in many stores have been bare, and most major supermarkets have imposed limits on how many salad bags or bell peppers customers are allowed to buy.

overpopulation, climate change, supply chain issues, and the inability of technology to create matter equals we're all gonna be losing a lot of weight

Um, are you seriously saying these guys were right to beat someone up because they didn't want him there? Am I reading correctly? This is okay to you? Like a white guy in Harlem getting beaten up by the residents is alright? Or a black guy in, I don't know, the Hamptons?

Haven't seen this here. Bought tomatoes today and there was no shortage. Maybe it is Brexit-linked. Guess everyone is going to be eating MacDonalds then - weight will increase rather than decrease. Maybe they'll begin hunting each other through the streets of London for food. Lack of veg wouldnt' bother me anyway; veg and me, we each keep, as you so charmingly say, in our lane.

yes

rich white people have been stealing hawaiian land for long enough

zuckerberg is the most egregious example but absolutely 100% yes - these people have a right to their space and culture and unwanted intruders should be dealt with however they see fit

Like a white guy in Harlem getting beaten up by the residents is alright?

in the early days before it was gentrified they should've killed whites who bought up the property

same with flatbush and now with bed-stuy

Or a black guy in, I don't know, the Hamptons?

the hamptons should be returned to the Shinnecock

Is this a wind-up or is this guy just around the twist? I mean, read it.

A Michigan man allegedly threatened on social media to kill Jewish members of the Michigan government, the FBI said, and state Attorney General Dana Nessel says she was among those targeted.

Jack Eugene Carpenter III is accused in a criminal complaint of making threatening interstate communications when he tweeted last month a threat to "carry out the punishment of death to anyone that is jewish in the Michigan govt if they don't leave, or confess, and now that kind of problem. Because I can Legally do that, right?"

He seems to be under the impression, for some reason, that it's legal to kill someone just because they're Jewish. Does he think we're in Nazi Germany again? Like, I know USA is headed there, but you know, wait till they get the place looking nice and done up in late modern fascist with all that nice black and red before you start thinking along those lines, yes?

If he actually thinks he can do this, is that an indication he's off his trolley or is he just one of these who lives in his own personal reality where the law doesn't apply to them? Or has someone actually been spreading this kind of hate-filled garbage around the interweb? I mean, I know they are but has someone intimated it's somehow within the law to to do this?
