But that's one that doesn't actually require time travel

It's satire. They are mocking the people who believe the things they post.

The joke is literally that Republican pundits and other "civility" columnists equate serious situations like murder with things like being denied service by a food vendor. That's the joke.

I'm pretty sure whoever's behind the satire account you're replying to do not support genocide... you may have mistaken this for the actual nyt?

You do realize you're replying to a satire account, right?

S A T I R E (until tomorrow when someone probably will have a sincere version of this take)

I am so embarrassed to be your constituent, you genocide-enabling coward.

There's no such thing as contractually unable. There is just the cost associated with beaching the contract.

Plenty of people on the far left are not anything like the weird tankies/dirtbags, please don't put us all in that category. Most far leftist ppl I know IRL are motivated by trying to help people

They are a one year-old and you're trying to argue they should recognize whether a snake is threatening them? It's well-established that the fear of snakes is ingrained in all primates, this baby felt that innate fear and acted. If you don't want to call that a reflex, fine.

*due to

An infant killing a snake due to a self-defense reflex that mistakenly detected a threat is exactly the same as a snake killing a human she to a self-defense reflex that mistakenly detected a threat. That is the point I'm making.

No

Snakes trigger an "ancestral fear response" in all primates, and those kind of ingrained reflexive reactions are stronger in infants and toddlers. It was "self-defense" even if the snake was not attacking because this was an infant who cannot be expected to know the difference

In other words, pointing out that a relatively small number of people have amassed vast wealth and power does not necessarily mean that you believe global distribution of wealth and power is a zero sum game

No? The existence of a massive imbalance does not necessarily imply that it is zero sum

I was not justifying adult humans seeking out snakes to kill, I was justifying an infant reflexively killing a snake in what is likely an ingrained act of self-defense

This toddler did not seek out a snake to kill either

One million people (literally) have died of snake bites in India in the last 20 years. 50,000 per year! I think it's only fair for a human infant to return the favor just this once?

I guess I should plan to visit Cincinnati because it's the only one on the list I've never been to and the other three are pretty great

The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

Emails show that IRS chief counsel Andrew De Mello said a recent DHS request did not comply with the law.

Two days after refusing the demand to turn over more than 7 million home addresses, De Mello was pushed out of the top legal job.

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

The craziest discovery about our global water crisis -- besides the fact that the continents are drying -- is that groundwater pumping is now driving sea level rise. @hrishikeshac.bsky.social @jayfamiglietti.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/wate...

Is "ACTUALLY" in all caps because this is supposed to be better than what people were saying? Seems... not better?

Wow this sucks. I regret buying Codenames and I'll be asking my local game shop to stop carrying your products

Maybe if the Democrats had embraced the people calling to #AbolishICE instead of alienating them we could have moved in the opposite direction. Oh well.

God forbid the desperate centrists move left a little to entice those voters disengaged by the corrupt hellscape of electoral politics in this country

Gonna need more than "because I say so" there! All the leftists I know held their noses and voted despite their reservations. The actual data analysis I've seen showed that most of the difference for Trump was among young men, not left leaning folks

If you said that, it would be very inaccurate, despite what centrist pundits claim. It wasn't leftists staying home that caused Trump's win, it was mostly his gains among young men, especially white men.

How exactly does voting for their nominee count as trying?

And if you think leftists gave up, come join us in the streets and you'll see what trying to stop fascism actually looks like
