While the FCC is being weaponized by MAGA, I can’t imagine any show or news outlet is safe. Not just because of POTUS being a snowflake but because they want to rewrite history and change the narrative.

I’m hopeful that with the genie out of the bottle, this can be reversed with a vengeance. Sanity needs to hold out long enough for these people to be out of power, though, and I’m not certain it will without people fighting back on a united front.

Oh! Sorry, yes. Well, status, but probably interchangable.

My thinking, LAMF is mostly for people who brought it on yourself. Nevada voters are a pretty mixed bag, though not as much in the city.

Having spent time in the international district of LV, though, they’re lovely people mostly trying to get by. They all cater to The Strip but it’s a regular ol’ city just like the rest of them.

The Fuentes part has been floated around cause of the memes in the bullet casings. I wouldn’t call Tyler left leaning, but possibly questioning his right wing roots. There is evidence he’s unaffiliated by party, though, which should be unsurprising given his age. Its easy to look that up, though I’m not op.

Ops overall point does stand, though, as Tyler is raised in right wing gun culture even if his motive is unclear at this time.

And even then… an economics professor I had once suggested minorities are in lower SES because of genetics. Very much not a good, or accurate take. This was in 2010s.

Hm… so, I’ve seen conservative faculty before, and no, it’s not great because you get some pretty wild takes. It’s especially true of culturally conservative types (but less so of fiscal conservatives, they usually just have weirdly biased and racist takes).

First, consider the type of ideology – if you get past the anti-science types that reject all evidence, conservatives who try to listen to evidence do some pretty wild mental gymnastics to maintain contradictions between science and religion. E.g. I knew a women who believed in Noah’s ark but also was in psychology. To her, it was a bottleneck in human genetics, but like, c’mon. Bottlenecks are usually a few hundred, not a single family, lol.

This isn’t so bad in some fields, but in social sciences it really falls apart because philosophically, you’re talking about determinism and the concept of God’s given free will, personal responsibility, etc, which gets challenged when your science is literally saying these behaviors are a result of environmental and genetic reasons. Sociology, criminology, psychology, all these make no sense at the core when you apply conservative ideology.

Listen, as someone who fell in love with a trans woman decades ago (my ex), it’s more plausible than you’d think. I didn’t go shoot up people since I wasn’t raised right wing, but love does make you do crazy things!

Well yes, people are kind of pissed off about it in the community that votes and cares about comedy.

Ah yes, the same Huntington Beach who put up a MAGA plaque that didn’t stand for MAGA but we knew it really did (those council members wore their red hats to the ceremony, iirc).

Official surf city? Don’t make me laugh.

Well, yeah. Owning slaves was an affluent male thing to do, and most politicians are those kinda people even today. If it wasn’t abolished, I’m quite certain this would be 3/4, if not much, much higher.

I mean, do you think Trump, Bush(es), Clinton, Reagan, Kennedy or Nixon wouldn’t own slaves? I can only see Obama and Carter (despite a peanut farm), and I’ll venture a guess that Obama probably didn’t get elected president in that fucked up parallel universe since voting rights are probably pretty different even if he was allowed to run.

As an adjunct myself, wanted to see how widespread it is but this doesn’t seem to be. We’re usually first on the chopping block, but a dozen firings isn’t very many overall when there’s thousands of people teaching. I think similar happened when we celebrated Luigi, too, and both are pretty popular opinions with students.

Still, always be mindful of your online footprint and what you say in front of students in particular. You’re dealing with whole groups, so even if it’s a 90% popular opinion, you’ll get one asshole who may report you anyway. That includes religion, too, which is especially tricky when you’re an atheist teaching psychology and have to address shit regarding free will, evolution and why we have guilt and such.

But hey, we’re pretty fucking free to say what we want on Lemmy, it’s so obscure that I’m not even sure the government watches it.

You know, the real concern shouldn’t be someone looking up our posts, or even who is losing their jobs… thinking about 9/11, we’re really prepping ourselves up for a similar terrorist act. Pissing off everyone, losing people in charge of espionage, wasting time investigating people making fun of Kirk instead of actual threats, and so on.

Pretty sure they’re just referring to conservative, but man there really should be a cuckservative community.

Funny, a decade ago I would have suggested an AI do exactly this as impartial, but we don’t have that kind of AI, we have LLMs. Ugh, clearly they just want more corruption.

Right, real mavericks wear monocles and rhyme every so often but not every time. That’s the kinda maverick I want avenging me.

Oh, it was SoE. That’s… interesting. Wonder if true.

Btw, it is quite serious how you handle dev kits. Generally they’re held on premises for this reason (and SoA does a good enough job of it), so it’s a pretty wild mistake to dispose of them. It was really, really under lock and key prior to Switch 2 release!

There are exceptions, though, like demos at major events. I wonder if there was something like that recently.

Mixed feelings on that, tbh. They were circumventing worker visa laws by shipping in and out people on visitor visas, but the current laws on that are kind of awful and, I mean, it’s fucking ICE. Fuck ICE.

Well, there’s always his family, ya?

Aren’t they already doing that with folks who… post JD memes? I mean, c’mon.

“Alright you guys, you might have got away with this one but I don’t wanna go see you kill any more right wing propagandists, ok? We’re super serious, you guys!”
