Fox News' latest attempt to churn up negative stories about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz backfired immediately this week.

imagine if he wore a tan suit or ate ice cream or something

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shut the fuck up, Tim Walz would NEVER do anything so scandalous! Granted, he's obviously not as wholesome as someone who poses with a fake family or insulting their wife's culture and bragging on live tv about telling their children to shut up

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

He did deploy the national guard to suppress protests. So there's that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Walz was the tinyman tank-man biggs

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

He did. And he publically acknowledged that it was a bad call and apologized. He also was the reason rotten cop who killed George Floyd was even prosecuted.

If we want to criticize someone, we should also acknowledge when they listen to that criticism and correct the behavior going forward.

I guess when you got two people who took a shit on your floor and you gotta pick one to house-sit for you over the weekend, it's probably best to ask them why they thought shitting on your floor was a good idea.

When one says, "I'm sorry, I was trying to help by de-escalating, but this made more of a mess than I expected" and the other says, "I wanted to show off my Bible," while holding their Bible upside down, then you've got a much more clear choice.

Someone who shits on the floor with good intentions shows that they're aiming to please and can be trained to do better using positive reinforcement. Someone who shits on the floor for attention with sociopathic reasoning is a bit of a wildcard with no means or desire to be reined in.

Sure, you could consider someone else who hasn't yet taken a shit on your floor, but you gotta wonder how they're gonna keep your house safe from other floor-shitters when they don't have the ability to work door locks.

I would simply not hire anybody to house sit for me who has shit on my floor before.

Now I'm sure you'll explain to us how it's complicated and not that simple, even though it totally fucking is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nope, not that complicated at all. That's completely your right.

The problem is that someone's always trying to shit on your floor. I agree, in a perfect world, I'd prefer if people just wouldn't shit on the floor.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

You metaphor is foolish and you should keep you scat fetish to yourself.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

To continue your stupid fucking metaphor there are multiple people available to house sit for you who have a well documented policy of not shitting on floors but anytime somebody suggest you hire any of them you insist they aren't hireable and point to the fact you refuse to hire them as evidence.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I'm struggling to understand this metaphor. What does the house, the floor and the shit represent. Who is doing the shitting?

You do live in China and reside on hexbear. So there's that.

Edit: lmao after getting their friends in here as a group they banned me from hexbear.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Someone adds a simple fact to a discussion

"Yeah but you're Chinese"

-Least racist lemmitor

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Oh, here comes the hexbear backup singers. Oh no.

Oh look, and you're on .ml what a surprise.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're on a federated website lol we see the same posts you do. So weird how you just straight to that instead of, idk, the simplest bit of introspection into why what you said is some wack uncalled for racism.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

No I'm pointing out that they're only goal is "America bad". I never said anything about what race they might be, that's your projection.

You can go back to your hive now.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Why don't any of the users in your instance back you up?

You do live in China ... So there's that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Are you trying to say that only asians can live in China? That's racist.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I'm travelling. I'm leaving China on the 7th and will be in Japan for 2 months, followed by about 3 months in South Korea, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. How does that fit into your theory of what I am?

Tim Walz deployed the national guard to suppress protests.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

What does you traveling have to do with who you are? It doesn't change anything about how your entire rhetoric is "America bad".

Anything you say about American politics is moot.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

amerikkka bad correct

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because you said I lived in China and you were clearly implying something by that.

And yeah, I believe America is bad, and I can point to reasons why I believe that beyond tan suits, and without restoring to xenophobia.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You're cracking me up. Why are you even in this comm?

"Anything you say about America is moot because it isn't sufficiently positive"

Most propogandized people on earth.

It’s a good thing Dijon mustard is too spicy for his midwestern tastes, right? Don’t have to worry about that potential fiasco.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Remember, a tan suit is only presidential and acceptable if you're white

Please call Tara Reade a Russian asset, just so we're clear on everything
