Mayor Jim Kenney admits he hasn't met with the families of Philadelphia's 300 homicide victims

madcow-5 · 2022-07-20T13:13:54+00:00

If a white four year old shot at police, this would be all national news covered for the next month, opening conversations about "the dangers of white america". Instead, it's swept under the rug.

madcow-5 · 2022-07-20T12:57:32+00:00

This. I'm like a circa 2010ish progressive. Or in today's terms, a racist nazi bigot misogynist.

Anyways, I've never taken much issue with trans people, outside of the drag queen story hour bs, which has apparently evolved into bringing kids to drag shows. All that aside, there are countless cases of "trans women" that are just some fat neckbeard in a sundress. If you want me to be respectful, you need to show you're actually trying. I'm not saying you need to pass, ffs, you can at least not have a six+ month if you want me to even pretend to believe that you actually believe you're a woman.

Also, of the tiny handful of trans women I've interacted with, all of them acknowledged at some point, on their own without anyone bringing it up, that no, they're not actually women.

madcow-5 · 2022-07-20T12:48:15+00:00

My favorite for a while was pointing out they have to acknowledge gender roles are a thing.

But it seems like they did. I don't even hear anyone deny it when discussing trans people. Now, bring up the concept of gender roles in any discussion outside of a trans issues, and prepare for all of the same people to call you sexist.

madcow-5 · 2022-06-06T11:05:17+00:00

Old news, but I still don't know where I stand on this issue. I guess card only places could be used as a way to keep certain demographics out, but aren't there a million legal ways establishments do this anyway? From what I recall, it was a trendy looking coffee shop and sweetgreen that were doing it. Neither were places I expect homeless people to be choosing when they find money for coffee or a meal.

madcow-5 · 2022-06-06T11:01:29+00:00

I'm in favor of affordable housing. I think in an ideal society, if you work 40 hours a week, you should be able to afford a living space without roommates and to feed yourself. But this seems like it would ensure there are no truly nice neighborhoods because a minimum of one in five residents will be impoverished.

madcow-5 · 2022-06-06T10:33:46+00:00

Violence in Philadelphia has been rising for years. A lot of people seem dissatisfied with their elected DA, Larry Krasner, and his soft on crime approach. Better not reelect him for a second term. Oh wait..

madcow-5 · 2021-04-14T21:51:02+00:00

Even with TDS, 80 million people did not vote him. No sentient person thinks the election wasn't stolen.

madcow-5 · 2021-04-14T21:49:47+00:00

Wasn't this from a couple years ago?

madcow-5 · 2021-04-12T16:54:56+00:00

It's wild because our view would have been progressive like 6 or 7 years ago, and now it's considered far-right.

madcow-5 · 2021-04-01T12:50:16+00:00

Same.

I probably became a little more pro-small government, and a little more pro-life, but it's hard to tell how much of that was being pushed out of the left and opening my ears to what the right has to say, or just being and adult and getting some life experience under my belt.

But my values and principles are all exactly where they were when I was in college and considered myself very left wing.

madcow-5 · 2021-04-01T12:33:11+00:00

Pretty much. I'm not a particular fan of most feminists, but if you are a feminist in that you're concerned with women's issues, you should be a TERF. Otherwise, you're not really a feminist, you're just part of the SJW cult and like the label feminist.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-29T01:42:19+00:00

I was checking out SRD for the first time in forever today. Holy shit, that sub is hyper pozzed now. Mods have stickied all over that TERFs will be immediately banned. A top post is discussing and defending the lgbt sub for going private in SUPPORT of Aimmee Challenor and the sub is defending them. Also, why does a sub of less than a million subscribers need 30+ mods?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-28T15:36:30+00:00

How do fish selectively reproduce if the game is a simple matter of find and squirt on the eggs?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-28T15:31:38+00:00

Site's too slow to load. Which is a shame because the title's intriguing.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-28T15:30:15+00:00

As a general rule, somebody has to be a power tripping loser to want to be an internet mod. To be one on reddit in current year, yeah, they're going to be a sicko creep.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-28T15:29:05+00:00

It's worse since a 13 year old can't consent to that shit. This is more aching to molesting a child. Which you know damn well is probably happening too.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-27T16:03:47+00:00

It's amazing just how little effort it takes for them to manipulate the masses. All they need to do is attach some phrase with a negative connotation, and now millions will automatically assume filibusters are some kind of racist tool.

I remember in 2013 it was this massive celebration on the left that Wendy Davis held an 11 hour filibuster to prevent a ban on abortions in Texas after 20 weeks (something that's generally a very reasonable stance even to pro choice people - that's more than half way through a typical pregnancy and more than 80% of the way to the point where a baby can be delivered with a more than two thirds survival rate).

madcow-5 · 2021-03-27T15:57:46+00:00

No doubt. War doesn't have to be literally shooting and killing people. We've all known we've been in a culture war for a while, though most people weren't too focused on who's pulling the strings beyond "out of touch academics" or activists out to exploit outrage for $.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T22:27:06+00:00

It didn't overstretch itself, it got culturally subverted.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T18:29:22+00:00

If that's the sane section, it's good to know none of the more conspiratorial stuff I believe has anything to do with Q.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T15:04:42+00:00

Was listening to something similar on NPR the other day. Interesting stuff.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T15:01:55+00:00

TBF, I'm surprised he's still in office, I figured they would have swapped him for Kamala by now. Buy I guess as long as he's alive, the people pulling the strings have free reign + a fall guy if they get too extreme.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:56:00+00:00

They're almost always poor examples. Breonna Taylor's probably their best example, and the facts are very unclear about her situation.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:51:34+00:00

I'm still unsure where the line is where you're a Qtard. MSM and the left suggest it's literally anyone who disagrees with them.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:48:27+00:00

If we're going to say gender and sex are different and gender is how you present yourself, then yeah, it should be up to the people around you to make the distinction. I don't care if someone wants to be trans as long as they 1. weren't brainwashed into it. That goes for both children who get groomed into it and anyone seriously considering bottom surgery, because that is horrifyingly insane. And 2. they put some effort into it. I'm not going to call you she/her if you're just a fat hulking middle aged guy in a sundress.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:43:22+00:00

Turns out like 3/4ths of millennials were gay all along, including the super straights.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:39:08+00:00

and puts people on asshole/awesome emotional coaster that can only end in a crash

My experience is most drugs (outside psychedelics do this). I used to do tons of blow and after a few years my mood was often either ecstatic happy to be around people and people seemed to love being around me, or having an utter destructive breakdown. Even after I cleaned up, it took the better part of a year for me to stop having sort of spikes in my mental/emotional state.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:26:11+00:00

They're fucking with us. It's all part of the demoralization.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:23:43+00:00

Part of me thinks putting all the SJW and degenerate stuff into overdrive and stealing the election is because the internet has too many people seeing the pattern.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:22:12+00:00

I doubt the elites actually believe the stuff they're spewing. The purpose is just to convince the herd of it. Some of the extreme stuff, I'm convinced, is just testing how far they can push it.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:19:00+00:00

Because China's dictating the top levels of our government.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T14:13:05+00:00

Because he's literally in hiding except for an hour or two on his good days where he gets an adrenaline shot so he can walk outside and say hi to a couple of journalists, pretending he's just casually out for a walk. Him able to play golf would be a shock.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T09:45:13+00:00

True. This seems like a refreshing moment of Reddit sanity, but it’s really just a case of the left eating their own as always.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-26T00:01:27+00:00

The issue is those people don't think. Whatever the TV tells them is what they believe, and they cannot fathom otherwise. Hence "Trust the science", they can only appeal to authority for their beliefs. If you were a liberal (real liberal values) in the early 2000's, this is everything you shat on Evangelical Christians for as they said Pokemon and Harry Potter were heresy and evolution wasn't real. The same psychological phenomenon is still present, but instead it's left wingers taking late night TV hosts and anyone wearing a suit or a lab coat on MSM as the word of god.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T22:28:57+00:00

Have you found it works for reddit? Because a VPN alone just results in automatic shadow bans.

I've heard of TOR way back in the day, never really figured out how to use it.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T22:25:48+00:00

lmao

I'm not really surprised. I've been a part of so many geographic subs where none of the mods live in the place they're moderating for. The powers given to mods on that site literally are what ruined it, both in terms of useful idiots taking over, and intentional malicious actors grabbing power. Long before the CCP owned 5% of it.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T17:13:16+00:00

My god....

I love that top comment though:

Wearing a diaper, a frilly dress and hugging a teddy bear.

This is who is controlling the narrative on reddit.

This is who is calling you an incel, white supremacist or nazi.

This is who votes for Joe Biden.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T17:02:11+00:00

In my book there needs to be a minimum level of effort to present as female. You can't just be a fat ugly man with shoulder length hair and visible stubble and expect to be referred to as a woman. This guy doesn't even look trans aside from long hair. He looks like the archetypical pedophile.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T16:59:51+00:00

Just looking at him, he's clearly the sort of person only pedophiles would associate. He's like 3x more pedo-looking than Jared Fogle.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T16:57:41+00:00

So?

I'd wager other companies' shipping containers are known for the same thing. Also known for smuggling drugs, weapons, etc. There's a reason there's security that tries to inspect all the crates.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T16:53:34+00:00

It's obscene how little the users understand the site censors anyone who isn't a progressive. I've talked to people who use it who genuinely believe the site still has a balance of conservatives. The few conservatives still on that site have accounts less than a few months old because they regularly get banned.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T01:55:08+00:00

I used it for going on 13 years. They banned all of my accounts last summer during their massive ban wave. Even got hit on accounts I never posted from. I've used VPNs, changed ISPs, etc. The only thing that's worked so far is just having a totally new device on a different ISP.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T01:53:46+00:00

I mean... Like 5% of reddit's owned by a Chinese tech company. As I understand, there's no such thing as a private Chinese tech company.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T01:51:40+00:00

lol.

I asked because the name sounds like the sub would have started from that happening to /r/lesbians.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T01:17:12+00:00

Wait, so is /r/actuallesbians trans people saying they're lesbians or is it actually actual lesbians?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-25T01:03:31+00:00

Funny, I was using reddit the last few days, thinking I got around the super ban status, and while I was there I heard nothing about this until this morning.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-17T19:34:23+00:00

My guess is he got busted or blackmailed or declined or made fun of though.

But yeah, this sure was convenient given the rise in "anti-Asian" violence the media's been trying to push all year. Especially as normal people were starting to notice it's always black people.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-17T19:20:49+00:00

The most popular thing to do during Trump's presidency was criticize and ridicule the president, and these people think that's a dictator.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-12T23:35:12+00:00

No doubt. They've been scrambling to keep people in as tight of an information bubble as possible for the last year. Go to reddit for a few minutes and you'll see it. These people are living in a completely different reality, controlled by big tech and the CCP.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-12T23:26:50+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure they're all woke now.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-12T23:25:58+00:00

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Jones,_Baroness_Jones_of_Moulsecoomb

Nothing on her wikipedia mentions children or a spouse. This seems like the sort of thing only the twisted and decayed brain of an end of life feminist could come up with.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-12T15:39:59+00:00

If a guy in a suit on the television tells them to, a sizable portion will.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-12T00:43:20+00:00

A year late, unfortunately. But yeah, I've noticed among left wing circles, they are starting to infight about what measures are appropriate and whether they're ditching the mask after they've been vaccinated.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-12T00:40:13+00:00

Imagine being proud that you went to an ivy league school, and then they pull shit like this.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-11T04:36:05+00:00

Not a fan of people owning big snakes, but that is kind of cool.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-11T04:24:52+00:00

Agreed. It's almost troll level UI design.

You want serious contrast with things like button states. This seems like it was probably designed on a very nice HD/retina display and the designer isn't seeing just how non-visible the difference is on regular screens.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-11T04:22:39+00:00

He was funny and had some serious balls back in 2016 being in the vanguard against all the craziness on college campuses, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of him personally. He gets too full of himself and seems to be in it for fame more than anything.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-10T22:51:55+00:00

I doubt it. The masses seem to be okay with Biden not showing his face for weeks at a time, tacitly giving them permission to keep Biden in there as long as possible. He's an easy fall guy for them to push through as much radical stuff as possible, and also if anything starts to really go wrong. First major thing that reflects poorly on the administration (amongst normies/democrats), they will remove Biden for Kamala.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-09T05:53:41+00:00

I use the federal highway system a lot. Not sure on anything else thought.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-08T22:43:04+00:00

Send me a DM if it's something I can't just find at the store, like something illegal.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-08T22:25:03+00:00

User's a paid shill. Actual leftists irl don't still pretend they'll leave you alone if you ignore them.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-08T22:22:08+00:00

Ehh, the left isn't self aware enough to put 2 and 2 together.

They'll complain about how much scarier their cities are becoming while minutes later screeching ACAB and defund the police. They're just too stupid.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-08T02:22:48+00:00

Is OP the same dude with the crush on Ameliamay?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-07T22:31:01+00:00

Haven't read it, but the Electric Dreams episode based on The Hanging Man seemed very relevant to the political climate circa 2017-2020.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-07T22:27:39+00:00

I think Rogan felt he was going too far into politics and pulled back. He's a bright guy, but his show never seemed like it meant to be some deep analysis on politics or what's going on in society, that seemed more like something he got briefly into before realizing he's going to get himself canceled and labeled as right wing if he keeps it up.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-07T22:20:27+00:00

Pretty much this. I remember when The Onion used to be funny, then they rolled out a comedy central television show and it was the most over the top low brow humor possible.

The Colbert Report was another prime example. He was hilarious, funnier than Jon Stewart, discussing politics, but with how quick he blew up, the show became this dumbed down crap for normies after only a few years, and quickly Stewart was the more interesting show again.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-07T15:15:30+00:00

What’s unbelievable?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-07T06:06:28+00:00

Duper’s delight. Biden was a Trojan horse.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-06T17:18:25+00:00

I'm glad this is still being talked about. It couldn't have been more obvious the random #MeToo stuff out of nowhere was an attempt to distract and get him out of the picture so they could memory-hole the nursing home issue.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-06T17:16:55+00:00

He did though.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-06T16:26:31+00:00

Yeah, degrees mean nothing now. If a person is under 30. It's as, and depending on the major possible more, likely they've been brainwashed than educated while in "college".

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T20:26:16+00:00

I literally only ever heard of this from leftists trying to make fun of the right. For all the conservatives I know and all the time I spend on conservative forums, not once did I see anyone talk about it or know what it was about.

But all the disingenuous leftists seemed to know about this big "far right" insurrection plan.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T20:19:04+00:00

I gave out a buck this morning for the first time in forever. I've never been approached in the town I live in now, the guy was begging hard and mentioning the cold, so I gave him a buck.

When I lived in a bigger city where you're asked for money multiple times a day, I never gave out money. It's also easier to just keep walking in a busy city and not acknowledge them, as opposed to this morning at a gas station with no one else around the guy's sort of following and walking up to me in the parking lot. At that point, half of it's less sympathy and more giving a buck to end this interaction.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T20:14:10+00:00

Doubt.

If we're talking professional white collar jobs, he could have just shaved and gotten a haircut. The after photo is some weird uncanny valley stuff. It looks like they're going for some kind of feminine kpop look.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T20:04:13+00:00

Yeah, the older I get, the more a woman being pro abortion disgusts me and gets me to dismiss her as a sociopathic whore.

It hinges on the notion of whether or not a fetus is a human life, and I can understand younger women being brainwashed thoroughly enough to not consider it so, but if they're older than say 25 and claim a fetus is not a human life, it just shows they're a grown adult who hasn't bothered to put any thought into a major topic that affects them directly, or they're a sociopath who's capable of killing their own child.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T19:07:14+00:00

And clearly has no peak.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:57:32+00:00

Idk, but I welcome it. Been here since the massive reddit purge last summer (because according to reddit and MSM I'm a Russian bot/shill account), and appreciating the site's been more active lately.

As for the requests for changing, that's probably just a common thing with new users.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:53:39+00:00

There's a few here, and you really do have to wonder if they just got demoted from someplace bigger.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:49:32+00:00

This is true, also this generation tends not to pay $60 a month for cable TV, or rent from Blockbuster at $5 a pop.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:45:17+00:00

It needs "Foodie" listed.

Like every other millennial describes going to different restaurants all the time as their hobby. At least when I grew up, going to a restaurant was a special treat. Especially the sort of restaurants you'd boast about if you call yourself a foodie.

Obligatory: I don't think it's so much liberals as it is a generational consumerism habit. Liberals probably do complain more about their financial situations though.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:36:36+00:00

I occasionally feel guilt and insecurity over my financial situation. Then I remember tons of people my age are in 5 figure debt or worse, and suddenly my situation seems pretty okay. A buddy of mine who works for a bank and sees accounts all day long's told me if you've got more than like $700 sitting in your checking account, you're doing better than most.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:31:29+00:00

Agreed. People have been saying they should teach personal finance in schools since I was a child, but apparently it never happens.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T18:26:03+00:00

People still say zine?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T05:49:43+00:00

They've been brainwashed to believe any men who try to warn or talk sense into them are sexist toxic pigs who should be avoided at all costs.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-05T05:46:42+00:00

You're a lot more likely to get banned off social media for discussing COVID19 than you are to die if you get COVID19.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-04T01:17:26+00:00

Maybe, Jolene is huge in karaoke amongst millennials and zoomers though.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-04T01:14:38+00:00

I’ve never been more convinced of that than right now. It doesn’t make sense to respond demanding sources for your comment to anyone who natively speaks english or is socially in tune with western culture. Either their english skills are outing them or they’re hitting the crashing point and just want to get off work.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-04T01:10:50+00:00

This is truth. Most are just people who stayed in school and were never comfortable in the real world.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-03T19:28:28+00:00

WYPIPO SO FRAGILE!

madcow-5 · 2021-03-03T19:28:12+00:00

Read this and thought "I wouldn't be surprised if that's an actual thing.".

Sure enough, it's a thing.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-03T16:44:24+00:00

With any luck, the warm weather + increased vaccination will shift the masses' narrative on masks and lockdowns so it ends this summer. It's more convenient to pretend there's some world-ending pandemic going on when the weather's shit. Plus, this will let the democratic establishment pat themselves on the back and claim they solved COVID19. The real question is whether the money billionaires are making off the lockdowns will be enough to bribe the government into deny bread and circuses this summer.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-03T16:40:36+00:00

Yes... The people racing to get a brand new vaccine for a virus that's about as harmful as the flu are the cowards, not the ones who think the virus will kill them.

madcow-5 · 2021-03-03T16:34:35+00:00

What is this trash image hosting site that prevents the image from scaling?

madcow-5 · 2021-03-03T16:30:18+00:00

they abort babies that almost big enough to put diapers on..

They tried to get away with doctors leaving the babies to die after they've been born in VA, but they got called out on it so thankfully it didn't pass.
