Good point! Also I like boobies too
Pedearthphile?
Fuck censorship.
*Junior High
Stop sharing needlessly censored posts
Some social media (including Lemmy) will now catch certain words and auto remove posts based on filter lists.
Sad, but the only way mods can stay on top of things
I wouldn't say mods are on top of things at all. We might need a different strategy all together after a decade or more of little effect.
Lucky whoever posted this was smart enough to circumvene that. I’m sure no one else can figure that out.
It's a mix between An evolutionary arms race and wack-a-mole.
Can we can ignore the lemmy instances that do that?
You certainly can.
Some people have social media filters so they can avoid certain subjects. I suppose we think they are snowflakes and should “Man up” though,
Yeah we cant let their filters work. Must be twee.
wh* d*es *t m*tter?
Who dies at mutter?
I'm sure there's lots of cases where it could be deadly without good enunciation.
well good luck finding another match for ped*phile
Implying there will still be schools here in 20 years
Or text books that describe Trump as anything other than a god chosen saviour
I was gonna say. A non-zero number of states will whitewash the fuck outta this.
Also, this makes me think about what wasn't said, recorded, or thrown out, about any historical figure.
I wonder if history books will have screen shots of shitter and shitheads social media posts.
America won’t have schools in 20 years. If they did, reports would be authored by Chatbots. The rest of the world will have moved on to a world without USA.
History 101 brought to you by pepsi-lay.
It started with Monica's dress.
The idea that people were shocked by Bill Clinton was nonsensical. LBJ and Kennedy did far worse, and the 'gentleman's agreement' kept it all quiet. The GOP knew that they were going to give the children of America a back door* sex education, and they didn't care.
*I knew it was going to sound awful but I decided why not?
Oh please, schools barely made it past WW1 in history classes even when I was in school. They do a quick jump to the civil rights movement and then speed run through everything post 70s during that post-test period a few weeks before summer starts and everyone already knows if they've graduated
My partner and I are only just learning the details of the War of 1812 now that we're in our 30s. Virtually everyone we've asked agrees that they were never taught much about it in school. It was maybe a page max, and we grew up in NY state.
Now that we're researching it and learning Canada's side of it, it's eye opening as to why we were never taught about it.
In Canada we learned all about the war of 1812.
Tbf, I took a semester on Canadian History, and well, there's not a lot there. It's American history-lite. Like one of your big battles had like 30 casualties.
Quantifying history by how bloody the battles were is the most American thing I've heard in a while.
There were trade wars. The history of the Hudson's Bay Company and North West Trading is bloody as hell. They shaped the country. No one really knows how many people died in their skirmishes. They built forts that still stand today, and they're why a lot of towns/areas are called Fort(name.)
Louis Riel is a fascinating figure, like a tricksy, bloody, charming asshole who literally beheaded a diplomatic envoy. He, himself, was beheaded. The whole history of the Metis people is fascinating.
The Acadians and their connection to the Cajuns (a condensed slang of Acadian. Cadian. Cajian..) is pretty neat. It's a whole other French culture most Canadians don't even know about.
Not to mention all the whitewashed history of indigenous peoples, their histories and cultures. Indigenous leader's push for justice reform, based on their cultures and needs, is changing the way the justice system works in Canada, and influencing the world.
Burning down the Whitehouse is a point of pride for Canadians.
An assumption such a thing will be allowed to be written with the republicrats in power. Maybe in another country.
Not really they're going to learn the broader thing only
They’re going to learn that Dear Trump saved America. Nobody is stopping them and they rewrite history weekly and people eat it up.
It reminds me of something our former chief clown once did:
Edit: apparently he wasn't behind it, but I can see something like this officially happening if MAGA UK (Farridge) gets in. Except you'll get a load of racism and xenophobia added in too.
Punctuation exists
ironic isnt it
Final periods aren't necessary for legibility. Sentences are delimited by punctuation for a reason.
"punctuation exists" in a sentence without punctuation. I agree a final period is not necessary for clarity :)
Context matters. Lemme guess, since I don't lay out the context again, this comment is ironic too, eh?
Sure, why not?
ironic isnt it
I truly believe we are nearing the end of the American experiment. Best of luck navigating out of all of this. I wish things were different.
In america? I doubt it. It would be: And then M💀sk called the Pr💀sident a P💀dophile.
The only thing I can hope for is one day, when I describe this to my kids, their reaction is, "What???"
Maybe it'll be grandkids...
