I really don't think that this was necessary.

Probably doesn't need to be said but memes aside I appreciate you being nice to them. I always feel incredibly bad for the people working in that industry.
I don't even think we had that many religious people. It was the biggest city in a very rural red state but I can't think of much else for why the reaction was that bad. We had an air force base nearby but I mostly chalked up the experience to bad luck and sitting next to the wrong person.
Guessing by kids we're talking about young children and not teenagers because old YouTube was practically made for teenagers. The more popular layouts people used back then often had the same aesthetic as myspace pages. There was more gaming content on the site than anything else, followed by viral vids (=3).
There's a lot to dislike about the modern structure of the platform but as a grown adult I appreciate that there's a much larger variety of content now which was essentially what the shift in design was supposed to achieve.
I only refused to do it once because at the time I was in high school it wouldn't have been smart to stand out. I remember it really well because it happened in the auditorium for some reason. I was sitting down because I felt woozy but one of the guys standing next to me threatened me. Something along the lines of cutting my traitorous dick off and throwing me in a ditch to die if I didn't stand up for it.
It genuinely feels like western countries are content to allow the war to drag out for the sake of sacrificing Ukraine to destroy Russia's population. We should be allowing them to aggressively push into Russia, taking the fight off their own territory and moving the war towards a faster conclusion.
From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,
Ah so that's the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.
The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.
And yes, out of context I thought it was a bit extreme. I don't necessarily agree with what the first person in the image said although that's a complex topic that deserves a much lengthier discussion, but just randomly having someone tell them that they're a creep who deserves to be tased is fairly extreme without any additional context. Keep in mind, I have no idea who the individual is or what they've done.
Brendon Urie did it 4 years ago when he outright told Trump to fuck off and stop playing High Hopes at his rallies.
The law suit isn't what matters. He's got a massive collection of those already and it won't matter until it all eventually catches up to him assuming he fails to get elected.
What matters is that if he pissed Taylor off enough she might actually endorse Harris openly. We know she leans blue but she's refrained from open endorsements. Her fans are absolutely crazy and she could probably sway a bunch of Republicans easily. This is great.
Yeah I figured that was the case but I haven't checked up on the EC in a while. We should probably win the popular vote easily but unfortunately our elections aren't determined by that.
Yeah people meme about it but the addiction exists.
Even before microtransactions were huge on mmos, I remember people letting Runescape ruin them. Knew a guy with 3 daughters who was divorced over it. Had an old friend who wouldn't last more than two weeks at any job cause he'd quit to play and the whole group we played with would get to hear his girlfriend screaming at him over it sometimes (he did get better though).
Now days we have gachas and games with loot boxes so it's even more predatory.
It doesn't take too many traitors to the party to ruin any attempts at passing progressive legislation sadly. Even if it's not the usual suspects like Sinema or Manchin someone will always step up, and if they don't get voted back into office later then they'll just cash in those connections with a lobbying firm.
