First off, the beauty of these two posts being beside each other is palpable.

Second, as you can see on the picture, it’s more like 60%

Or where they currently live.

Or, the case of NYC Puerto Ricans, both (New Yorican lol)

I still have the lava lamp my first girlfriend gave me. It’s strange, there’s so many things from that time in my life that remind me of her. Even certain locations take me back, when I’m visiting my old stomping grounds. But not that lava lamp. It’s just a light

This is the answer. It’s the intersection of those with strong personal opinions and the power (money) to speak their mind without true repercussions, and the power (money) hungry who are following the strongest zeitgeist in the halls of power.

The zeitgeist exists because the entrenched powerful ones are currently using trans people and migrants as a wedge between different parts of the working class. It used to be homosexuals and communists. Or abortions and hippies. Or slaves. Or indigenous people. Ad nauseum. It’s about keeping the working class divided and maintaining power. This is the latest version. And it’s not just in the US BTW

People like Rowling are new money working class that fell for the con

I think Peanuts is speaking from JKR’s perspective, not justifying it

But I also skimmed bits of both of your comments. It’s ironic really, because I’m equally verbose

Didn’t Starbuck fly one of these against the Cylons?

To your point, it’s funny how we frame things depending on the circumstances.

Growing up I always thought the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre was some huge slaughter where hundreds of people died. Turns out it was seven people. Mobsters, actually, so it could be argued it was “gang violence”, but still. Seven people executed by a rival gang, and it’s a massacre.

At least 37 die, over 800 injured, and over 10000 were left homeless, but Tulsa ignored it for decades, then called it a,“race riot”.

Twenty children and six adults are murdered by a nutter and it’s still not a massacre, but at least it’s “tragic”, which is a step up from the average school shooting, which is normally called “Tuesday”.

Over 45,000 Afghan civilians died from 2001-2021, but that’s not a massacre, just collateral damage.

But that’s over twenty years, of course that’s not a massacre, plus they’re, you know, foreign. Now if 45,000 Americans died in one year, well, that would be different. Except they do, but because they lack insurance coverage. So, you know, that’s their fault for dying of preventable illnesses on account of being poor. That’s not a massacre, just good business.

But one CEO is murdered and it’s a tragedy again

History, and a soupçon of paranoia

Yeah, and they choose to participate in capitalism by being employed. What a Rube! What a buffoon! 100% self inflicted.

Personally I’ve made my own smartphone out of glue and matchsticks, and stuff I stole from Walmart. I only post via a VPN, and only to servers that run on biofuel and solar. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go mock the homeless for using iPhones. Have they no appreciation for the privacy they lose?

Everyone focuses on the typo when dude did an awesome thing. Reddit doesn’t allow title edits and GBoard is shit at producing the words you want, and then dude gets a bunch of Tina jokes.

They got screwed thrice; by their boss, by Reddit, and by their keyboard

If I had a nickel for every time Russia has shot down a civilian passenger airliner, I’d have three nickels…

Which is more compensation than the families of the dead will get

To be clear, “important” in this context is how much companies are affected financially by your death.

You could have a raft of friends and family that would be devastated by your passing, but if none of them have political or financial influence, it would purely depend on how overworked bored the police are and how easy it is to solve the case.

The reason for that is that is… The side left to me (where the rest of the couch is), is unobstructed and leaves enough room to place and operate the mouse there.

Suuuuuuuure buddy, your overly detailed explanation is very believable.

Sergeant Colon owed thirty years of happy marriage to the fact that Mrs. Colon worked all day and Sargent Colon worked all night. They communicated by means of notes. They had three grown-up children, all born, Vimes had assumed, as a result of extremely persuasive handwriting.
