Right hand to gay Jesus, I was literally coming into this thread to type out the exact same thing. Except my comment wouldn't have had the italics or newline because according to my therapist I'm lazy and lack curiosity so I wouldn't have spent the time or even had the inclination.

Two new lines to make a new paragraph.
Or two empty spaces and one "return" at the end of the previous line to make it just a new line, not a new paragraph.

Good for poetry.
Or song lyrics.

Italics, just get wrapped in asterisks, like *this*.

The reason I can type it out like this so you can see it is because I "escaped" the asterisk, by putting a backslash (\) before it.

That backslash in the last paragraph was placed between two back ticks, `like this`, to make it appear in a fixed-width font, like this. Good for code or CLI commands.

This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with "suspending" habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn't matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they'll never come for you, you're forgetting that they'll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA "informers" who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can't blame people for drawing people as they know them.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

Nah, Europe had black people.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

Because he's the son of God

And according to Europeans or those of European descent, the son of God has got to be white like them and not some dirty brown curly haired middle eastern Arab.

And please acknowledge the fact they called it Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of "America"!

Twas the cherry on top.

or some uptight twitter green smartass (cia bot) about the fact that they were on diesel guzzling cruiser.

Are you saying that only the Central Intelligence Agency wants the USA to stop using destructive and limited fuel sources?

[–] daepicgamerbro69@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

yes, that is 100% precisely what i am saying it's right there in my comment right next to the part that says you're a moron.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

No, but the CIA wants to discredit critics by making progressives look extreme with ridiculous psyop campaigns.

[–] VirgilMastercard@reddthat.com 11 points 12 hours ago

I remember the one where the so-called feminist pours bleach on men on the train who are "manspreading". Although that one turned out to be Russian in origin. Same sort of thing however.
