Here I am

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

I think I'm gonna start calling it "CBRN ordnance" instead of tear gas, pepper rounds, et al. Just to hammer home the point, y'know. "The cops used teargas against the protestors" You mean the regime deployed proscribed CBRN ordnance in order to pacify the dissident citizens

i do think its really convenient how they name this shit so nonthreateningly. "tear gas" awwww it makes you cry a little haha. wrong. you can go blind.

If you haven't lived around a specific type of Mexican or Italian or other generationally Catholic community I have no idea how to explain to people who haven't seen it like... Yes many of my peers are Catholic. No they are not Catholic. No I mean like they're VERY Catholic. No they're not even a LITTLE bit Catholic. Yes they do Catholic things. No they don't do any Catholic things. They're debilitatingly Catholic, yes. No, I don't think anyone could reasonably call them Catholic

"No I don't believe in God, no I don't believe in Heaven or Hell, that's ridiculous. I have no time for any of that. Church? On a Sunday? I get two days off a week and you want me to spend one of those days in a stuffy building and give away the money I spent five days earning? Ridiculous. Now please shut up so I can pray to the Virgin to give me the strength to not kill my coworker as well as to St. Cabrini so I can find a good parking spot behind the CVS tonight"

at a certain point, if you want people to recognize how bad it is that nintendo saddled a man with an astronomically huge debt and garnished his wages, you have to stop calling it slavery. all you are doing is making people feel relief when they quickly learn that he was not enslaved. you are setting the bar so low that when reality clears it it seems good. no it is not "indentured servitude" either. that is not more accurate. its wage garnishment. wage garnishment is bad enough to oppose. calling it slavery is not an attempt to get people to take it seriously, its an attempt to paint nintendo as uniquely evil for an unfortunately common practice, which i can only assume you are doing because the reality of nintendo as a corporation betrays your nostalgic childhood memories. i am also left to assume you do not think wage garnishment is all that bad, as you are not calling every other case of wage garnishment slavery, despite it being very common and very harmful. generously, i think some accidental rhetorical sleight of hand happened at first. Nintendo began garnishing his prison wages, and prison labor can be slave labor, though it generally is not considered as such when there are wages to garnish. even then, it would be an issue of the prison system, and now that he is out of jail, its no longer relevant. wage garnishment is bad enough. continuing to lie about will only make people look into it, find out you are lying, and not take you seriously anymore. WAGE GARNISHMENT IS BAD ENOUGH
