sentenced for the most heinous crime known to man - trying to steal money from rich people

He could have weaseled out of that one, but he was also guilty of the even worse crime of embarrassing the ruling class, acting out the role of a sneering parasitic plutocrat instead of quietly cashing his checks and pretending to be, you know, a “philanthropist” or something

Which is going to cause major problems for people who have disabilities that don’t simply involve being a Karen.

Oh, and one more thread. This whole thing is pure Astroturf.

ETA: let me be clear. There are people who genuinely can’t wear a mask. But people like this are going to fuck things up for them. The repercussions here are lasting.

“Economic Anxiety”. “White working class”.

From 2016:

Blaming poverty for fascism is a mistake, IMO. Yes, economic stress tends to encourage political extremism, but the genuinely poor usually don’t go fascist; they go communist.

Fascism appeals to those who are fighting to retain their privilege, not to those who never had any to begin with. It’s a middle class pathology.

Cool. I’m going to buy a wheelchair and make up a card like this so I can skip the lines at Disneyland. /s

When you do, please make sure to spell HIPAA correctly. And grab me a churro.

let me be clear. There are people who genuinely can’t wear a mask.

And I’m sure these people would

a) be able to tell the store manager specifically why they can’t wear a mask, rather than the nebulous"I have a condition"

and

b) gladly take them up on their offer to shop for them

@Doctor_Faustus

be able to tell the store manager specifically why they can’t wear a mask

The point is, they shouldn’t have to. This is like the straw debate cranked up to 20. No one should have to reveal their medical history. Disabled people are like anyone else in that regard.

And if it weren’t for wacklefucks like this, it wouldn’t matter. You only need 80% of the population to mask up when social distancing isn’t possible. If these assholes would just be decent human beings, then it wouldn’t be a problem.

Meanwhile, I have to disclose my medical condition in public whenever I’m in Indiana because it’s the only way to get people to follow appropriate distancing guidelines (especially considering the fact that they refuse to wear masks) around me.

[MalevolentPixy]

Which is wrong. That’s one reason I despise these privilarses even more than the bulk of the internet does.

United States Files Civil Action to Forfeit Rare Cuneiform Tablet Bearing...

@KathyPartdeux

the United States filed a civil complaint to forfeit a rare cuneiform tablet bearing a portion of the epic of Gilgamesh

I knew it was Hobby Lobby before opening it. You mean that they actually acquired a non-fake artifact?

[anon61221983]

[anon67050589]

The part that surprises me is why they would want Gilgamesh, as it proves that the Bible isn’t a unique story written specifically by their God. Kind of curious what their get-around-the-truth would be for that.
