My town had an extremely generically named “spa” that I passed by all the time and joked that it must be a drug ring and I found out that no actually they were a human trafficking ring and they got shut down by the police.

1·11 months agoMcSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn’t have a women’s restroom until 1986.
Their motto prior to 1970 was “Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies”

2511·11 months agoTiffany was similarly not used as a first name until Tiffany & Co, and particularly Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the 1958 novel/1961 movie.
The “Tiffany” from Tiffany & Co was a last name, and that owner was one of a handful of Tiffany’s in the world at the time of the founding.
I’m not the hypocrite here…neither of us are doing anything that would protect the American population from a rapist insurrectionist corrupted by Russia, I’m just admitting it while you’re pretending your impotent wails are doing anything so you can look down on everyone else.
So you’re saying they’re yelling at the liberal to fix the boat and then the guy with the gun throws them off the boat? Doesn’t sound like you’re disagreeing with me.
“Fixing the boat” implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.
You seem to know a lot of lore here I’ve never heard of this person.

10·11 months agoI was fine with like 80% of Obama and like 60% of Clinton’s actual policies while enjoying the economy that I don’t credit him for. But then W Bush was like a 10% and Trump 1 maybe 15% (Warp Speed, passing the vast majority of Covid stimulus, ironically all the stuff he’s against now) and I’m batting zero so far on Trump 2 but I assume at some point he’ll do something I agree with.

31·11 months agoI try to keep a sense of perspective, every president I disagree with seems to be the worst president ever at the time.
I really want to say Bush’s useless Trillion dollar wars are worse than this.
But it’s close and we have 3.5 more years of this.

World News@lemmy.world•Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffsEnglish
36·11 months agoI don’t have a ton of “the court is wrong” opinions, but Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution flatly gives Congress the responsibility of regulating trade and imposing tariffs. The President just doesn’t (shouldn’t) have the authority to change rates. The executive needs to execute the will of the Legislative branch.
This is sort of like the depreciation tax benefit for private jets from the Trump tax cuts. I get it, I do, I just don’t care for the government offering extra help for the types of people in this scenario. Let them manage with their billions.

11·1 year agoI’m not saying national leaders are immune from ethical liability no matter what, I’m saying I don’t blame German Jews for the Holocaust just because they’re German.
Track this back to the Houthis for me. You are arguing that America and the Houthis are both committing war crimes and are akin to Hitler so I should be against both of them, I’m a hypocrite for only calling out Houthis…and also you think Houthis are heroes?

12·1 year agoI’m not following how you’re getting to that conclusion about my stance with that link. He’s a national politician talking about what the United States should do (in 2023). Clearly not as an acting member of a militant group.

You don’t get to pick conflict-by-conflict. “Going down in history as heroes” is about the totality of human action.

Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I’m scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.
