I think you are wrong about how off-putting your tears are.

In my experience, when someone loses someone they care about, it is comforting for them for other people to be sad and feel the loss as well. I think that if instead of focusing on your own tears and your embarrassment when you get emotional, if you still focused on the other person while you were crying, they wouldn't feel obligated to comfort you. Then they could just continue to share with you and be comforted by the fact that you empathized and were moved.

When my brother and SiL had a stillborn baby, I went to visit them. They genuinely seemed somewhat relieved to see me crying while we visited together.

Your phrasing there is intentionally misleading.

The wiki you link discusses 20 people of obviously mixed race, with half? of those likely parentages seeming coercive. 'Many many' sounds like dozens.

I guess you mean that the number is rapes likely far exceeds the number of people conceived from rapes? The wiki also mentions guests expecting sexual gratification from slaves, but not whether or not those expectations were met. "Overseeing" any activity, kind of implies you're managing said activity, seeing it through to it's completion. Looking the other way would certainly be complicit, but it's not the same thing as commanding and ensuring those rapes happened.

Also, I set the bar intentionally low for zombie Washington. Child rape was the bar. There's no amount of revision of American history that has lowered Washington to Trump levels of evil yet. And I further wrote couldn't rape kids with the expectation that zombie dicks probably fall off.

So anyway, zombie Washington still gets my vote over Trump.

Zombie Washington probably wouldn't/ couldn't rape children, so yes. I'll give it to you.

Yea, the image you commented on is cropped. The full email chain I definitely read as Mark just giving his brother shit for his loser best friend.

Sigh. Fair.

17 year olds still tend to be physically less developed... But even if they're not, if you're more than a handful of years older than the 17 year old, having a sexual relationship with them is still exploitative since they're still mentally (both emotionally and reasoning abilities) immature.

When women are stripped of personhood, then the actions of these rapists and sex traffickers haven't actually hurt any people.

Let's be real. The right is "protecting kids from trans people" because they think transexuality is socially contagious and they don't want to fuck trans kids.

This is it. I don't think they have particular respect for the offspring of other wealthy elites either, they just know there is power and money protecting/ defending the children of the elites if anything happens to them. These people don't have respect for anything but themselves. They've just gotten where they are by having a keen instinct for self-interest and preservation.

Every single time I open my windows PC (which has now been force fed windows 11) they have disabled my Internet connection until I install yet another update. Which takes at least 15 min with a reboot. It's maddening. Reading all the lemmy Linux posts is about to convince me.

Omg, thank you for pointing out which ... lemmy space (what is the terminology here?) this was in. I honestly believed it until I couldn't click through to an article. Satire is dead.
