  • Hamlin pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty brought against him and four of his fraternity brothers in 1980, when he was an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. The charge was brought against Hamlin under a local Ann Arbor ordinance. All five members of Alpha Delta Phi were later expelled from the fraternity.

    The details of the case, described in local media reports at the time, are gruesome. The house cat was captured, its paws were cut off, and was then strung up and set on fire. The killing, which occurred in December 1979, was allegedly prompted by anger that the cat was not using its litterbox.

    This is all you need to know about the average gun nut piece of shit that stands in the way of meaningful change to address this country’s unique problem with daily mass shootings. Violence and cruelty are not an issue to them. They’re features.


  • “In other news the local distribution centre has restructured its operations to streamline customer synergy and unfortunately has had to let its administrative assistant go to persue other interests.”

    The thing about this is that I just made that up, no source, nothing to verify and given that the article identifies a person with full name and place, as well as their role and industry is likely to be uniquely identifiable and a prime candidate for being fired…

    … unless the story was made up or the intent is to assassinate either the company or the person.

    Ask yourself, who is the intended audience, what does the author of this article intend to achieve and will this article achieve that?

    1. Frank Grimes is a one-off character from a cartoon called The Simpsons.
    2. The Hard Times is a satire website.
    3. The man mentioned in the article does not exist.
    4. You are commenting in a community for shitposts about The Simpsons.







  • Let’s go bulldoze former nazi concentration camps. We have plenty of photos and videos right?

    Those concentration camps weren’t built 43 years after the war by the descendants of Nazis to continue intimidating Jewish people, now were they? Do you see me claiming we should destroy civil war forts? No. You’re just trying to shift the discussion because your original point was weak enough to be countered by simply reminding you that “cameras exist.”

    Now, I’m not going to continue indulging you by defending myself from claims I never made in the first place. We’re done here.
