Who is ready for FL to just kinda… break away from the continent and sink already? I am.
98 years worth of progress.

Lots of tourists from here in the UK would be very upset at Disneyland sinking :(
Shialac@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Disneyland Paris is way closer to the UK
Tyfud@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Good news then. Disney Land is in California.

We should demand a refund of $15 million from Spain and give them Florida back in return. Honestly, it would be worth $15 billion.

Was not expecting that 2nd paragraph.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There are no paragraphs…
It’s a picture with a headline, subheading, a picture, and a picture description…
Or did you find the article OP should have linked instead of this stupid screenshot?
Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
There is being pedantic, and then there is being a bloody cunt.
Guess which camp you belong to…
nnullzz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
… you are absolutely right. How dumb of me to call the picture description a paragraph.
Spzi@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It most probably refers to the text starting with “John” and ending with “(1925)”.
Colorcodedresistor@lemm.ee 1 year ago
could you imagine having so much time on your hands that you debase the entire intellectual potential of your tribe, town, city, what have you, just by being a self righteous prick about pieces of paper with words printed on them?
i was just in another thread. and for some reason. people take HUGE offense to being knowledgeable. like if you try to climb out of the ignorant bucket but you almost can’t because the other crabs pull us back down.
you could rape a mans wife, flay his children before his eyes and he wouldn’t lift a finger to object, but say you have a book? and this book teaches you stuff? oh, that’s greater than any sin imaginable (the best part is i didn’t mention what book, but id love to hear everyone’s ‘self righteous’ projections about which one)

I heard this guy talking about the right’s reaction to the pandemic say “This whole new idea of what’s liberty, and liberty for whom can kill. Especially when it replaces the idea of liberty as that which has to be shared in some kind of common good.”
It’s obvious though that it’s not actually a new idea, but I think this cuts to the heart of it. It’s an inherently selfish mindset that is so prevalent on the right. They use the idea of “liberty” as a bludgeon to get what they want by redefining it. Freedom has stopped meaning a group concept and become purely a personal one. Their own wants are the most important thing in all cases. And I want to emphasize want. These aren’t beliefs. They are projecting their desires of the way they would prefer the world and calling them beliefs.
It’s fairly universal, I think, but exemplified in American culture. I could go one about some of the “founding” ideas of the country that have had effects that last to today but I’m talking about freedom today. It was always a selfish idea here (bunch of business men didn’t want to pay taxes) and the end result is before us.
People see a book that makes them uncomfortable - for whatever reason - and just want it removed, regardless of any wider ramifications. They get scared about their own impending doom when a pandemic hits so they seek to remove the fear by the most direct path. Actually solving it is hard, but removing the fear is quick, so they demand that everyone just stop being afraid and stop reminding them of the things they fear. It seems to be a pretty standard through-line for their ethos.

Some dumb motherfuckers read Fahrenheit 451 and thought “Hey, that sounds like a good idea. Why aren’t we doing that?”
ZombieTheZombieCat@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Ok, so we’ve just never followed where the first amendment says there will be no national religion
sebinspace@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, we’re too busy furiously masturbating to the second amendment. After all, that’s the only one that counts!
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No you see it wasn’t religious because it didn’t require teaching anything else, just not teaching evolution. Also since some church folk support evolution and other church folk don’t it can’t be religious for that either.
Seriously though, for anyone unfamiliar with Christian dogma, according to them humans were divinely made in God’s image. The state supreme court wasn’t even trying to be impartial.
bhamlin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I guess someone needs to open up a Readeasy…
Emerald@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thats called piracy
Xero@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I like this idea.
Spzi@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The comment section confuses me. Is this picture just a reminder how things were in 1925? Or is teaching evolution now banned in Florida?
YeetPics@mander.xyz 1 year ago
This is an event from the past which is being echoed in the present.
It’s strange, I know… sometimes people look at the past to better assess how to handle the present or to better know what to expect from the future.
Spzi@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Alright, thanks for the answer. I found the snarky addition pretty unecessary. What’s up with people here? So much hostility around.
I tried to understand the image and asked for help. Got it, thanked. Where’s the need for downvotes or sarcasm in that?
Maybe that is living “A Boring Dystopia”, but I think we can and should do better.

Never change, Florida.

Teachers were giving kids actual child pornography. Sorry, as a parent, I have a right to demand my children not be taught how to give gay blowjobs with graphic illustrations. You went too far, and now you have to stop. Cry all you want. Most people are not okay with your degeneracy.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, I’d like to see a source on that one. I find it hard to believe that all teachers were giving children child pornography and that’s what instigated this law.
Doesn’t even pass the sniff test if you think about it for a few minutes.
yuun@lemmy.one 1 year ago
republicans have the right to be furious about things that aren’t happening, it’s in the Constitution
SuddenlyBlowGreen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Teachers were giving kids actual child pornography.
You mean the bible?
Razputinsgirth@kbin.social 1 year ago
Not for nothing but gay blow jobs are practically the same as straight ones and I don't need a book to teach me that. Also heavy doubt that that is the case
jwt@programming.dev 1 year ago
No, no. Straight blowjobs don’t exist. It’s eyes closed missionary position, or straight to hell.
shectabeni@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Prove your claim. What book? Where? Or are you just making this up or maybe repeating some bullshit some other moron said?
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
if we’re randomly accusing people of being pedophiles without proof, I’d start with the guy bringing up CSAM unprovoked ya know
OwlPaste@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What an idiot gay blowjobs are the same as hetero blowjobs… also no source what so ever. I feel sorry for your children growing up with a cunt of a parent.
WhollyGuacamole@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Former child of a cunt here. Estrangement is in their future.
zaph@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Prove it.
Trekman10@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
None of the books being banned are pornographic. Don’t fucking lie to advance your cause of genocide
MrClayman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yup, you got us! We definitely spend all day trying to get your kid to give gay blowjobs.
I can’t even get these kids to wear deodorant without a parent complaining. You think we’re wasting our time teaching kids how to give a blowjob? Lmfao “You went too far.” Doing what? Did this even happen? Are you super duper sure? Did you check with the people you let think for you?
Cry all you want, most people are not okay with your degeneracy.
not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Bible shows incest, death, and slavery but that’s ok to have in schools. 🙃
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Does every banned book teach kids how to give “gay blowjobs?” Lie all you want. Most people are not okay with your bullshit.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d imagine gay blowjobs are the same process as hetero blowjobs.
Rognaut@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey! No imagination allowed! Cut that out.
AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Maybe next time try thinking a little more than not at all. What’s the name of the book? Oh you can’t tell me cuz there isnt one. You gobble up this political rhetoric without a second thought cuz thinking is hard.
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I heard they’re all witches!!!11111eleven
Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Sure f they did I’d agree, but this never ever happened so why do you claim it did?
Enigma@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Please provide a source.
uberkalden@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If there is a source, and I’d be shocked if there was, it’s a one off thing that should be dealt with as such. There was absolutely not plural teachers defiling our youth with porn in school. This whole thing is fear mongering to create an out group for conservatives to rally against
javasux@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Source?
Apepollo11@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I respect that you’ve provided something to back your claim up, but have you actually seen the uncensored version yet?
It’s not what you’re claiming - it’s about how someone born female has been fantasising what it would be like to have male genitals. The ‘gay blowjob’ is the character finally trying on a strap on - which is pretty obvious in both the text and uncensored image, and then deciding pretty immediately that the fantasy was much better than the reality.
There is a reason that websites are censoring it when they show it, and it isn’t because they’re protecting you. It’s because a half truth is much more powerful than a all-out lie, and by censoring parts out, it allows the readers to fill in the blanks with something much worse. They’re deliberately trying to deceive you, to rile you up, and keep you coming back to them.

Imagine imprisoning the people who are responsible for bringing new, functional adults to our society for the inane crime of teaching.
Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The scary part about it is, they probably don’t believe that is what they’re doing at all. I’d wager almost all of the people getting behind this are people who believe that the responsibility of bringing new, functional adults to society is the sole purview of the church.
Chunk@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Who better to arrest? The Republicans want to infect the minds of the kids and purging/silencing the teachers who don’t comply makes sense.
return2ozma@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They are trying to “bring God back into schools”. Ted Cruz’s dad is involved with a PAC that’s turning to via school boards.

Well, when education is kind of a problem for your plans of building a third world country…
havokdj@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wouldn’t necessarily say third world, as that would imply the rich would be losing money as well, but I understand what you mean.
Although that being said, the richest people on the planet tend to be complete fucking imbeciles themselves (Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, etc.)
