Mod note on 'Did Kamala Harris’s Silence on Gaza Cost Her the White House?'
Just a note to please stop name-calling/insulting people’s intelligence. Thanks!
Mod note on '15 feet wide, 15 feet high, don't you like my 15 feet ride?'
One deleted. Jokes about running people over/harming certain groups of people is not ok.
Mod note on 'AI denial is now a problem of the Left'
plagued out moggies, your behavior in this thread is not in good faith and your participation is derailing the thread entirely. Also, it is completely inappropriate to use a member's username as a way to sneer/poke at other members. That needs to stop now. Additionally, you need to take a break from this thread. Any further comments will result in a temp-ban.
Mod note on 'Ever encountered an undercover agent? Or, had the suspicion? Free Thread'
One deleted. Please flag comments you take issue with and move on. Spelling out damaging stereotypes and tropes to make a point doesn’t actually help anyone, especially the folks being mentioned from said communities.
