Just asked my boss for paperwork to change my status. I identify as a transnegro now. This should go over well.

Interesting. I have enough Cherokee ancestry to legitimately claim Native American but prefer to honor two of my great grandfathers by self-identifying as "Drunken Indian." One of them went by the nickname "Chief," which was certainly tongue in cheek.

If you want to seek out stupidity in any belief system, you'll find it...

If you trawl the web in search of stuff that pisses you off, you're going to win big when you find the bottom of the barrel... If you want to use those outliers to demonize an entire ideology, then that's on you mang.

As an aside, isn't this all kinda meta in the sense that folks are looking for stuff to be annoyed about while making fun of other people getting annoyed at stupid ****?

Anne Frank Center Blasts Tim Allen for Comparing Hollywood to **** Germany

lol.

The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect demanded an apology from actor Tim Allen after he compared life for Hollywood conservatives to living in “’30s Germany.”

That era, of course, was when Adolf Hilter rose to power and the ***** began their campaign of mass extermination of Jews and many others they deemed undesirable. The Anne Frank Center called Allen’s comparison “deeply offensive” and said it “trivializes the horrors imposed on Jews in **** Germany.”

The “Last Man Standing actor said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Friday: “You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You’ll get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes. It’s like ’30s Germany.”
I wonder if they demanded apologies from the entire democratic party that completely trivializes **** Germany and actually wants to take us back there...

Stories like this. remind me of 1930s Germany:

Conservative students say they have been 'violently threatened' at Lutheran college - The College Fix

Of the 12 students interviewed by the Manitou Messenger, several have been violently threatened because of their political beliefs, and almost all of them feel as though they can’t speak up about politics on campus – in class, online or with their friends. …

On the night of the election, a student in the Pause threatened to beat up [College Republicans President Emily] Schaller, calling her a “f***ing moron.” Over the next couple of days, she overheard multiple students threaten to hurt the next conservative or Republican they saw. Vice President of St. Olaf College Republicans Kathryn Hinderaker ’19 had a similar experience.

“I think one of the hardest things was, the second day, I went into Buntrock and someone yelled from the bottom, ‘if you voted for Trump, you better be f***ing scared.’ Everyone clapped and applauded,” Hinderaker said. “Obviously, it didn’t feel super safe.”

Pretty significant difference, especially in the context it was spoken in.

That awkward moment when you keep screaming fake news and it turns into real news.

Very strange that Comey would assert that there had been a longtime investigation ongoing to ascertain whether there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. How were they doing that without any surveillance, wiretapping or otherwise, of the Trump people?

Pretty funny that the heart of american food production would use Ukranian software to 'hack' their 'Merican made tractors. I suspect at a certain point they could stop running??

Why American Farmers Are Hacking Their Tractors With Ukrainian Firmware

A dive into the thriving black market of John Deere tractor hacking.

To avoid the draconian locks that John Deere puts on the tractors they buy, farmers throughout America's heartland have started hacking their equipment with firmware that's cracked in Eastern Europe and traded on invite-only, paid online forums.

Tractor hacking is growing increasingly popular because John Deere and other manufacturers have made it impossible to perform "unauthorized" repair on farm equipment, which farmers see as an attack on their sovereignty and quite possibly an existential threat to their livelihood if their tractor breaks at an inopportune time.

"When crunch time comes and we break down, chances are we don't have time to wait for a dealership employee to show up and fix it," Danny Kluthe, a hog farmer in Nebraska, told his state legislature earlier this month.
