This coming from the same city who banned a porn convention from using the exact same space.

There are a lot of people here that aren't able to leave. I generally don't like when people trot out this line.

fair, and understood. It was more of an /s comment, and also in reply to the tone to whom I replied.

[–] End0fLine@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

No hard feelings! I just see it a lot in a serious manner and you know how well sarcasm carries over the internet.

I honestly understand why people would feel that way, too! The government here is pretty shitty and you always hear nothing but awful stories.

I get your point, but we should evict all the idiots so we can have a happier country. There must be a deserted ocean island someplace that we could ship them.

I hear Russia is really nice this time of year. There are a few that have gone ahead, like Steven Segal!

[–] Zier@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago

I get your point, but I would never inflict Russian citizens with the crazy people we have here. Most Russians are not like the sick government they have right now. Putin is a psycho. Maybe we could ship them to the DPRK since they love fascism so much. :)

I’d be fucking pissed if my tax dollars paid for a convention center that was then leant for practically free to a legally corrupt organization that was also found to be a front for Russian agitprop. How the hell is the NRA even still around? Oh, wait, I know the answer.

How are they legally corrupt?
