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:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Don't go giving us butches a bad name like that.

Being bad built is a prerequisite for it being a problem.

How much is caveman genetics and how much is crossfit, though? Seeing her flop like a fish hanging on a hook and calling it exercise... uh... yea that could go either way.

This country is run by toddlers...

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

One party is run by toddlers

[–] StereoTrespasser@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They are both run by toddlers vying for the most attention. Don't delude yourself by thinking House Democrats are a bastion of intelligence and maturity.

No one said that here. You're just reducing the conversation to an idiotic meme, just like the two "representatives" in this case are doing. Just shouting bullshit at each other and thinking that makes you smarter because you got the last word. Well newsflash, this doesn't solve anything. It just strokes your own goddamn stupid ego "my zinger was better than hers" which is absolute moronic stupidity.

Yes, Biden is better than Trump. But both sides do seem absolutely intent on a race to the bottom and we're gleefully cheering on our side to get there first. No one is trying to be the better person. Obama kind of did and we flamed him to hell for trying, he was too civil and tried too much to compromise, right? Beating the republicans at their own game is never going to happen. Just by getting us to play their game they win.

I am neither Dem nor Trumpublican... without abolition of the more heinous party (GOP) through resistence from other non-fascists, we have no hope of improving. I am not a "we" with Dems. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Though, being forced to vote for a literal "lesser of two evils" does not remove the sidedly inaccurate notion that "getting us to play their game they win" isn't BS. If you DON'T play, they win. Well-natured beliefs that "rising above pettiness wins" have continuously failed against their churlish word games. If they smirk and say "royal flush" while playing checkers, throw down an Uno reverse card. Fuck the game if rules only apply to some players. Acquiescence to GOP fuckery is weak.

I never condone attacks on one's appearance but that thing is asking for it.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i always condone it against fascists.

It's why they used to put so much work into fashion! Only Hugo Boss can make those assholes look ok

Such alliteration. I'm in awe. Like 6 B words in a row and not one of them is bitch.

Amazing.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

and yet it's there, I can hear it when I read the words. poetry. <chef's kiss> so good

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Please don't be mean to Mickey Rourke

[–] Donnywholovedbowling@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Almost guarantee she's taken more shots to the face

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

And Rourke plays the good guy sometimes.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Crazy how those AI beautification filters works.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

This is entirely what I've come to expect from American politics.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I heard someone refer to her as Barney Rubble and I just can't get that image out of my head.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reminds of the SNL joke about Kyrsten Sinema looks like all of the members of the Scooby Doo gang simultaneously.

It doesn't seem possible but when you look at her it's somehow true.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't catch that on SNL. That's pretty funny.

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I thought it was from Stephen Colbert, but I could be misremembering.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That’s insulting to Barney
