Ah yes, the people supporting the leopards eating faces club are once again surprised the leopards ate their face.

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago

Heeeyyy I wonder leopard ate my face transitioned to Lemmy.

The problem with those sorts of niche communities is that they need constant (sometimes heavy-handed) moderation to remain on topic. The Fediverse is not really good at that yet.

That and there needs to be a core of dedicated posters producing new, and good, content.

Reddit made a lot of it easy. Good(ish) mod tools (if you used third party apps or browser extensions) and communities that were large enough to keep people interested in the niche subs.

But we all know how that tuned out.

Yeah.. Also not too big of a fan of using awe instead of aww, but it gets the point across 🤷

"And the state has an obligation to protect children."

Unless it's protecting them from hunger. Or lead in water. Or child labor.

Or school shootings. Or bad curriculum. Or critical thinking. Or...

Yes bill, that was the fucking point everyone was making to you while your republican colleagues wrote and ratified that poorly worded and ill-conceived piece of bullshit legislation. I don't remember what it was exactly but I do remember laughing at how obviously it would come back and bite yall in the ass and you dumbfucks, who lack the insight necessary to spot your own hypocrisy, had no idea.

Republicans are always surprised when language cuts both ways. Which is every time. Not really capable of learning; ergo, not fit to govern.

Leopards, face-eating, and whatnot.

This fuck is still alive? After I stopped hearing about him for awhile I assumed he'd done us all a favor and followed Rush to hell.

"Bill O'Reilly", That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. TIL: he's still alive.

Yes Billy, your book and the law you championed are absurd.

Thanks for finally noticing.

Does anyone remember the time this asshole was sexually harassing one of his underlings and he didn't know the difference between a falafel and a loofah sponge? "I'm going to rub you down with middle eastern food.... "

There's no reason this hack's books should be in any school library to begin with.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

Bill O'Reilly on sex:

Say baby, put down that pipe and get my pipe up.

I would like you to unhook your bra and let it slide down your arms. You can keep your shirt on.

Cup your hands under your breasts and hold them for ten seconds.

I wish I were a lesbian.

All from his classic 1998 novel, Those Who Trespass.

And no, I'm not making a single one of those quotes up.

“I want to emphasize the fact that there are abuses in certain school districts that harm children,” he said. “There are materials that are inappropriate and those materials have to be specifically included in the law with language that is very specific.”

He'd rather the law say "don't talk about gay people or gay sex but all the other kinds of sex are fine you can talk about that". Does he want them to go down the list by position? Have a specific yes/no on each sexual act? I'm half being facetious because no, seriously, what is "materials that are inappropriate...have to be specifically included in the law with language that is very specific." supposed to mean?? Like what is he talking about. This is literally exactly what he supported.

I seriously thought he was dead. Haven't heard his name in years.

[-] notannpc@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

It’s almost as if banning books of any kind sets a bad precedent that is likely to be abused.

Either way, get fucked O’Reilly.

If only they knew what words meant...

"We don't need regulations! Why is my water poisoned???"

"I hate socialism! And you better not touch my Medicare!!!"

"We need to protect children! No, we aren't going to just provide free school lunch or healthcare for kids, wtf?"

Knew he was an arsehole. Now I realise how much I underestimated how much of an arsehole he was. Out of 2,000 voters in the UK only one in ten believe leaving the EU has helped their finances. Only 9% believe brexit has helped the NHS financially. Rightwingers around the world need to shut the fuck up about brexit when they clearly don't have a clue that it's been a fucking disaster in multiple ways.

What a useless article because I have no idea if he is right and this was political play, or if this is a case of leopards ate my face. I would love for it to be the latter, but I have no idea because it doesn't actually provide any information for me to make that determination.

[-] Ross_audio@lemmy.world 60 points 10 months ago

He supported a book banning law. He's in the wrong.

Now he's not gone back on that, he's complaining the law he supported is applying to his books.

He wants to be above the law while others are not.
