you people made me look really stupid, you all called the bitch a lesbian so much I thought that was confirmed fact not just you marauders setting social landmines for me. I went to a social outing with some buddys and the topic came up and I confidently shared she was a lesbian and my friend turns his phone around and shows me the article that says she was married to a dude.
Im not just wrong on the farms, any updates worth knowing?
So the Dilbert guy has a rule he calls the 48 hour rule.
Basically the first 48 hours things are so crazy there's no way to know for sure if you're getting the right information. The media has a direct incentive to lie (for example, CNN is literally paid by the DNC to run political research for them), Rumors can be started, narratives will be pushed, counter narratives will occur, new investigations will happen, etc. So it's best not to form a hard opinion on something for the first 48 hours. Give time for information to come out, give time for the people involved to make statements, give time for people who HAVE made statements to correct themselves, etc.
I thought she was a lesbian who WAS married to a dude. As in, past tense. I've seen people call the woman who was with her her wife. Was she a lesbian, bi, or was that bullshit? Don't know.
It's not a landmine. At worst, you heard something wrong on the internet.
Id just like to remind everyone Im still a human behind all of this
Its very clear my opinion upsets EVERYONE and does not generate useful conversation. I was not nor do i ever "concern troll" or intentionally post inflammatory ideas just to idk see people fanfic bad things about me, I just see the world in my own way. When I posted earlier today it was as it was happening and I was sharing my thoughts unfiltered, im probably wrong, ive been wrong before and ill be wrong again.
Im going to drop this opinion on this board, it just not productive and its more of a headache than any other polarizing position ive had.
The fun of posting on here is the community, coming back to the deluge of negative responses was more than enough for me to understand that if im going against the grain its better to keep it to myself, atleast in this instance. You guys break fatpacks you wont have any dissenting opinions anymore.
It's not that your opinion upsets everyone. It's that you were in a loop and unable to disengage. It happens to every single one of us at some point.
In this specific instance you were not viewing the 2 other videos we had that definitely showed the woman moving the car at the cop before getting shot. Nor were you rewinding the video to see her moving the car beforehand.
Was she intending to run the cop over? Probably not. I imagine the stupid woman panicked when the other cop pulled on her door and hit the gas to try and get away. Fight or flight reflex because she probably had it in her head she was immune to consequences like being arrested. But her intent doesn't matter. The cop couldn't see her tires, he could see her car revving up and moving at him. A car is a lethal weapon. She intentionally put the car in that situation for political clout and as an anti-American terorrism op. She shouldn't have died, but the bullets hitting her were the final punctuation mark on a long, long string of decisions that lead her and the cops to that point, many, many of which she made herself.
She's not the George Floyd of this year, George Foid. Remember during Charlottesville that guy in the outgroup was shot at by Antifa, so he gunned his car in a panic and startled a morbidly obese woman so bad that she had a heart attack? This is the same situation. A flight or fight reflex caused a death.
Sadly everyone's decided the cool easy way to get happy goodboy stickers is to earn clout by performatively dunking on you. That's not fair to you, and it's why some threads I don't even go into anymore, like the Rackets thread. When it was moved from one group to another, long before his cocaine and child abuse thing, it went from people talking about him for good or bad, to people performatively dunking on him to make sure everyone saw they had the right opinion on the stupid internet guy.
It's the same thing here at times I think. They could just ignore you or move on or whatnot, but that doesn't get people goodboy stickers. They HAVE to call you names and chestthump.
It's just something you learn to live with on the farms, and shouldn't take too personally, although I know that's hard.
