Looks like someone is unclear on what is an "opinion" and what is not...

"Pineapple does not belong on a pizza" is an opinion.

"Imma spend a billion dollars to make people's lives miserable for no other reason than I'm a bigoted piece of shit who can" is not.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.
The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else
Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

There are writers, creating the most evocative and life-changing art, every single day, and most have never heard of them, because their medium is fanfiction.

The thing is, he hit me, so if the passengers were indeed injured, it would be because the driver was going too fast

No, I was pulling out of my parking spot on the street when they barrelled down the road and hit me on the passenger side, so they had the right of way, but were likely going too fast, which is why I didn't see them in my rear view before I pulled out of my parking spot

and now I got to somehow poop out the $500 deductible to fix the sideswipe on my front passenger seat, which I wouldn't even bother with, if the door frame weren't slightly bent, but I do have rental car coverage so it'll be fun to drive something new for a few days

and the damage to the taxi was negligible but of course the driver had to file a police report and the passengers insisted on calling for an ambulance and I have no doubt they are all going to try to sue me over it because that's how they do here in Mobtown

I got into a fender bender with a taxi today and it was really stupid and at first I thought it was my fault but the more I think about it the more I'm like, no, I totally would have seen them in my rear view but they were going way too fast for a residential street, 30 feet out from a stop sign
