    “right-wing activist” is always such a funny phrase to me because it’s called being a bigot 🤷‍♀️

          If their God were real, he would FUCKING HATE Republicans. The shooter hasn’t been caught yet, maybe God was hiding behind a cloud with a sniper rifle. Zadkiel telling him to go for a headshot, Azrael says that’s a pussy shot because it’s such a big target. Gods like “bet, watch this shit.”

                  Lol I feel that. I’ve been playing since 2. My kids been on fallout 4 for 2 years. I had to buy a new soap dispenser because it looks like the blowtorch. He convinced me to buy a steel bucket, basically anything that looks like loot from that game. Now I’m working on an old lunch box for him, in vault-tec style but I have to do it surreptitiously because it’s a surprise.

      Actually “He died” uses the active voice, whereas “He was murdered” uses the passive voice.

      Its the correct wording for when someone dies while being treated in the hospital. The initial reports were “shot and in critical condition” so now the headline is of course that he ended up dying.

        That’s the whole thing about passive voice, it isn’t incorrect. People rightfully criticize passive voice when reporting on police murdering people. Same thing here.

      Allegedly.

      Someone allegedly murdered him.

      Kirk was open and proud that it was his belief to live in a society with guns was desirable even if it meant people were gonna get shot.

      He thought it was a good trade off.

      Now a gun went off. And Charlie Kirk is dead.

      This is America for all we know a cop was standing behind him and mistook a shadow for a Black man.

      Don’t fucking jump to he was murdered, he was shot.
