The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[rms]

I'm bummed whenever some inactive user returns just to say some worthless shit like that.

isn't zabu "Grant" ? I forget his original name, but didnt he admit to being a pedophile a few years ago? lol fuck that dude

What the fuck??

no, but if someone has to get shot it should probably be the guy who endlessly drones on about how gun fatalities are a small price to pay for preserving the 2nd amendment. he was deliberately fostering exactly the kind of landscape that leads to shit like this happening.

As far as I understand it, he compared gun deaths to traffic fatalities and argued that the latter is something we accept in exchange for the comforts cars give us. And yeah, I know there's a difference as deaths in traffic are mostly unintentional, but what he actually said is much more than just that snippet.

I don't think defending the 2nd amendment is the same as calling for people to get shot but he's said some other heinous shit like justifying the genocide in Gaza. wouldn't have shot him but not a huge fan

Oh is that what he was doing?

They caught the shooter, a 22 year old politically unaffiliated guy who wrote some anti-fascist slogans on bullet casings, as well as "If you read this, you are gay lmao."

Bro wtf is America?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

well whatever it was before it's gay now

Now it looks like Kirk's allies are trying to dox and cancel anybody celebrating or joking about his death online, which I feel like is doing the exact thing Kirk himself would've been against. Like him or not the guy pretty consistently opposed cancel culture and concepts like 'hate speech' etc. They're dishonouring his life's work in his defence.

Everybody just needs to take a step back, chill the fuck out, go outside, touch grass. Above all: Hands off social media for a while. If we truly want change, we need reflection, and that requires solitude. Let us mull things over and then meet in humility. Focus must not fail.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

meaningless platitudes. passive reflection accomplishes fuck all, certainly not societal change.

 

[Cronopio]

Fight me, bro.

 

[Slammed]

I touched some grass yesterday, it still felt the same as it did last week. What now?

Shooter was an avid Reddit and Discord user.

Waiting on a username change. In and out of isolating myself, and I think I'm out of the want to isolate.
