That one was weird, but this one seems more like the one more recently with spoofing that only lasted, like, a week. Meteor was like, COMMITTED, even more so than tomato iirc!

Correction that the check mark system seems to be semi-obsolete but worth a try anyway.

Yeah, and for the small audience that we here constitute, it seems like it would be such a pointless performance.

FYI folks, troll in the dungeon; currently using screen name “Progressive Pants” and spoofing others’ accounts. If you see a comment that’s out of character for a commenter you usually like, check that it’s actually them by hovering over the username and seeing if it matches the Kinja page web link. If it’s something…

Bekaby, for clarity: both of those commenters were being targeted by a troll yesterday, and discussed it in the Barf Bag thread (I think). They are both long established commenters who do not use the language in the screenshots above. Therefore, I think you’re probably replying to the troll. It’s pretty easy to spoof…

Also, in perspective about some cancer treatments, I really hate when the rightwing tabloids pick up the “NHS WON’T PAY FOR THIS TREATMENT!” garbage when it’s like, a novel monoclonal antibody treatment that extends poor-quality survival by five months and costs a million pounds, and then uses that to argue that the…

Yeah, that was... weird? Like he was sometimes funny but like, not exactly a beacon of fame and stannability. Why are people like this?

fist bump, brother, I did the same and I have literally no clue how the logic of “let’s keep living here and make babies” works in the US. I’d be the living embodiment of the guess I’ll die meme.

Yeah, and could we PLEASE have a hand-wringing article about wait times in the US?! They’re like, really not that different!

At least she’s internally consistent, which is more than we can say for a lot of these fuckers.

Yeah, I’m not sure expressing these concerns is genuinely grounds for criticism here. Anti-abortion, sure, nail her to the wall, but this comment seems sort of like it’s still under valid debate.

Fun story! I live in Scotland, and my American parents visited me and my dad did some stupid shit that ended up with him requiring a long-ass ambulance ride, three days in hospital (including a private room - their decision, not his), middle of the night emergency care, and a surgical procedure. Took the hospital a…

Because the current alternatives are worse and “Medicare for all” sounds more politically palatable than “fuck this shit let’s start over with an NHS” which is what y’all actually want and need.

I just heard my boomer friend's voice in my head saying "such a nice young man"

This timeline is so fucked.

key word: courts

This quote, on every single progressive issue, for the next 20 years:

You can’t tell her, but measles might.

I’m surprised to find I’m torn about this. On one hand, I get the sentiment, and good LORD I wish there was some publicly-shareable way to screen creeps. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure the sex offender registry isn’t it, given that it includes people who peed in public when they were teenagers and who are subject…

I was with you right until the last sentence, and there I have to disagree because the GOP loves nothing more than a good old hypocritical albatross.
