Article: The phrase “Rich men north of Richmond” is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope

The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Calling everything racist isn’t helpful. This song is a poor man’s cry for economic justice, and instead of saying “yeah, that’s the 1% we’ve been complaining about, come over to our side,” the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.


Let’s keep it civil

Oh, in that case I don’t have a comment on the American healthcare system.


I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.


It’s totally different from wow. Wow is a real-time mmo. BG3 is a turn-based fantasy RPG (think Divinity:Original Sin or Wasteland 3).


It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.

To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.


I know my personal experience isn’t statistical proof of anything, but I’ve known a couple of people who started using meth, then their life fell apart. I don’t know anyone whose life fell apart first and started using meth later.


“Only” a third on meth? Jfc that’s high.

There are a lot of reasons people end up homeless. One specific drug being involved in a third of cases is huge.


It is a 4th amendment violation, but some shit judge ruled otherwise at some point so they get to pretend it isn’t.


I used to compare voting to a choice between a punch in the stomach vs a kick in the balls.

Nowadays it’s a bit closer to a punch in the stomach vs repeatedly stabbed with a dirty needle by a guy hearing voices.

Like yeah, both sides are bad, but one is a LOT worse than the other.
