Yeah... that's completely fucked. What world are we in right now, holy shit
Murdered by Words
Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.
That would appear to be modern America
Definitely an American thing. Can confirm. Am American and not proud of this shit. It's disgusting the way our homeless are treated.
This has been reposted so many times over the years, did they ever end up replacing those benches?
They were reinstalled days later after the backlash. Their spokesperson was spewing all kinds of BS. “The tweet was a mistake” “the benches were unsanitary” etc. I’m not sure if these are the same as the benches before before it looks like they’d be hard to lie down on anyway.
Yep that's an anti homeless bench if I've ever seen one.
How does taking away benches not violate the ADA? Don't pregnant women, the elderly and disabled people need them?
It's amazing how loud lemmy is about corporate propaganda while pursuing this shit on multiple subs 🤣
