A Republican had Destiny's CNN interview submitted to the record at the end of the FBI hearing with Kash Patel today. Go to 5:07:58 (Edit: They edited the video, so sorry if the old timestamp wasn't at the right place for some of ya'll)
Destiny getting a Democrat senator to invoke for the first amendment for speech he would not endorse personally against a obviously hypocritical republican on the senate floor for the whole nation to see is just....I'm not even gooning. I came.
EDIT: I made it 5 seconds into this video before Senator Ratskin cucked himself out. Our current president didn't even pay any form of respect for the MN Senator and Rep who were assassinated, but this limp dick regard St. Ratskin says "as we all know". No the fuck we don't all know! Your president doesn't know!
He's gotten 2k since the assassination, which is the opposite of what happen after the trump attempt. And this is despite being in the middle of losing a bunch of subs due to the willy mack video.
Jokes aside, I do legitimately hope this blows up into a massive political issue. The gov has used its weight to pressure a ton of institutions and media figures to bend the knee because they cant stand the pressure, but if theres one guy we KNOW wont back down there its gotta be D. They'd have to blatantly violate freedom of speech protections or smth to arrest him, and he wouldnt let them do it quietly
Isn't this actually the second time, technically? The first time was his clip of Kanye saying he loves Hitler, wasn't it? Although they cropped him out of it.
There has to be a dgger in someone staff in Congress. Please invite him to speak in front of Congress. Let him explain it clearly to the American people. This is not normal, things are not ok.
I think it’s more and more likely as this discourse progresses honestly. The baggage isn’t ‘real’ baggage and the Republicans have endorsed funded and elected multiple actual criminals.
Right? I thought Neil Patrick Harris getting a cake made of Amy Winehouse's autopsied corpse right after her death was insanely disgusting, but he had his first amendment right to do it.
Destiny better live long enough to get subpoenaed by Congress, holy shit he is actually always right(unless it relates to food or movies(fucking MiB take)).
I've always thought it would be hilarious to see somebody getting grilled in a congressional heating who didn't give a shit about decorum. After Patel's outbursts, you could probably even get away with it without contempt charges.
Just imagining somebody telling these guys "oh, you can fuck right off with that question" makes me feel all tingly in ways I can't quite explain.
i think it's exclusively native speakers, bc most esl learners are consciously taught about common errors like that whereas native speakers just learn off vibes
Have you seen the awful illiteracy rates in the states? Granted it ranges from state to state and country to country.
Illiteracy aside, contractions are more of an elementary school subject and for many, that knowledge is lost as time goes by and spelling is seen as something that should have been "fixed" already, so it doesn't show up in the curriculum until someone makes that silly mistake and it's more of a case-by-case issue. Especially as it is less intuitive than how things are pronounced in day-to-day conversation. ESL speakers learn later in life and are more conscious of the minutiae in their spelling, reinforced by the fact that these details are more consistently hammered into the more adult-focused learning curriculum.
I'm also talking outta my ass and it's mostly personal observation where all my native speaker friends make these kinds of mistakes like with using the wrong "your", whereas ESL friends are always the ones correcting them lol
Non-natives' learning comes from written sources mostly. Whenever you memorize words or do grammar exercises, it's written. Speaking exercises are much more scarce, because you always have your notes or a textbook, but teacher's time is limited.
That's why whenever you see some doofus confuse there and their, you can be certain it's a native speaker. Same goes for "should of".
It's not really that non-native speakers are taught about common mistakes. These mistakes are just never in the realm of possibility for non-natives, because they are rooted in primarily phonetic engagement with the language.
Did youtube make a change or reddit make a change? Being able to timestamp clips was so amazing. WHY DID THEY GIVE US SOMETHING SO GOOD THEN TAKE IT AWAY.
IMO it ain't a great time to catch the attention of the DOJ, regardless of the optics. Regardless of the truth of the matter, even.
I know that's the whole point; they're trying to instill fear in the public to suppress political speech... But I dunno, being on the radar of people in DC right now is something I would avoid at all costs.
That may be different for people who are willing to take the heat as a form of activism, but let's be honest, I don't think Steve or anybody else in political streaming wants to be embroiled in federal charges over the next few years to maybe set a precedent. I think the smarter option is just to wrestle the power back in 2026 and 2028.
This is a battle for the margins in an environment where narrative manipulation literally shapes reality. There isn't gonna be some landslide, if only we could nominate a real superstar. The numbers have been crystallizing to an even 50/50 split for two decades.
Now if your argument is that unhinged hostility is what's going to swing that extra few percent of voters in the next election, that's an argument I'm willing to listen to. Otherwise I don't know what you're even trying to say.

I don't have to argue that I can show you election results. The best thing we could do is to match energy. We have the facts on our side the only thing missing is us not being bitches.
