  - White people are square dancing behind the ice cream truck. -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 20:24 4
    - No, like, the song itself is racist. Someone used the tune for a racist song at the turn of the century. (Updated with link) -- (link*) - Beryllium Jul 17, 20:35 3
      - Everything from that era was racist as hell, minstrel shows were the single most popular entertainment of the era -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 18, 00:26
      - Well, 1916. Turn of the last century. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 20:37 1
        
        I think the truck was playing the Maple Leaf Rag, which has got it’s own problems. -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 20:47

- That would be far too logical. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 18, 06:45

      - How do you do that? I haven’t figured it out. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 19:12 3
        
        I just go to the podcast page(I don't know a better term) on the app and just click the download arrow of the episode I want. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 17, 19:21 2
        
        Ah okay. I think that was the issue I couldn’t find it because I was looking for it in my podcasts. - spamlet Jul 17, 19:34 1
        
        No problem! Took me a bit to figure it out. -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 19:39

- This could only be good news. -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 19:08
- ....he was “working it” before? -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 17, 18:10 4
  - He insisted on personally doing all the testing. That's why it was going so slow. -- nm - Mop Jul 17, 19:11
  - I assume that means the televised briefings. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 18:13 1
    - or anything to do with it. -- nm - mud Jul 17, 18:14

Twug, "power of forgiveness" has been such a major theme in entertainments lately such as Hamilton -- (edited) - con_carne Jul 17, 17:02 15
- I'm forgiving of people who have shown they understand their transgressions and are working to anyone for them. I don't waste any energy - TWuG Jul 17, 17:42 3
  - My subject got autocorrected and I can't recall what the first line should say. 😏 -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 17:51

    - Finally, there's a book I've read that ST hasn't! *yaaaaay!* It's a self help book. *womp-womp* - con_carne Jul 17, 18:25
- Hamilton devoted himself to Eliza after the Reynolds affair. If Alex Jones devoted himself to truth & decency, he too might deserve forgiveness. -- nm - Maracello Jul 17, 17:17 10
  - What's the reason I should care who you want to condemn? That's important too, but it ranks lower on Maslow's Hierarchy than the other thing -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 17:33 8
    - And how are you fixing things by consuming more news? It's like Dawson with his "yeah, these are the polls. And?" -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 17:40
    - I don’t want to speak for TWuG, but to me, the lack of forgiveness is not condemnation. -- nm - Mara Jul 17, 17:38 6
      - Forgiveness and condemnation aren't mutually exclusive. You can forgive someone and still condemn their actions. - TWuG Jul 17, 17:49 2
        
        I said "in the moment," certainly not "forgive forever." I thought that was clear since #selfcare -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 17:53 1
        
        I think maybe we are talking past each other -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 17:57
      - Perhaps I have stumbled into a mire of poorly chosen examples and words. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 17:41 2
        
        That's online discourse in a nutshell. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 17:45 1
        
        Now it's you that's forgiving -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 18:18
  - Or even just shutting up. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 17:30
