I’ve been rewatching Bojack Horseman, and there’s an episode where Diane convinces the state to pass common-sense gun legislation by making it “in” for women to carry guns. The eventually leads to the line, “I can’t believe this country hates women more than it loves guns,” to which the character with her replies, “really?”
I think that moment is, unfortunately, rather poignant.
Canada’s food safety regulations spits all over the American ones. When putting myself through university via the food service industry, I was shocked to learn how many hoops American companies have to jump through to meet our food safety standards.
But think about how much shareholder value they preserved!
0% homelessness in China btw.
Which is like the US declaring homelessness a federal crime, imprisoning everyone who lives on the streets, and calling homelessness a solved problem.
I agree. The war in Ukraine can only truly be resolved by removing it’s root causes. Remove Putin, and the war ends.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Canada a “socialist regime”
God, I fucking wish.
I believe we (as in, people) all have a responsibility to hold each other accountable. But we can also only do so much, and inserting yourself into a toxic community founded for the sole goal of normalizing that toxicity in some misguided attempt to reform such people is beyond what any one person can be expected to engage with.
I explicitly stay away from such groups. I call it out in person, and politely check my friends when they say something that they might not realize is harmful, exactly the same way I expect them to check me, but that’s just it. That kind of discourse isn’t welcome in these groups because they were created with one explicit purpose: to justify and normalize the absolute shittiest behavioursof the most sexiest of male culture.
She’s right, it isn’t a small amount of men. But it’s a supermajority in certain circles, and a tiny, neglible minority in others. She, unfortunately, exposed herself to the worst of men enmasse. We should instead go to those latter circles, and avoid/ostracize those former circles, until they realize if their only goal is sex, they’ll have to figure out how to be a decent person first. And men, choose to be better.
Male’s haven’t been actively repressed as a result of their gender for thousands of years. Simply switching the genders does not work because they’re not equitible terms. Systematically speaking, they come from different backgrounds and expectations.
I take your point that “female” as a durogatory term is relative to the context it’s used in. But we can’t pretend we’ve lived in a world of equal opportunity that treats men and women, males and females, equally in trying to make that point.
confounds the world
No it fucking doesn’t. The rest of the world is not confused or shocked to see this.
Don’t let American media convince you this was a fucking surprise.
To be fair, if you look at it from the perspective of a narcissist who has never been told “no” his entire life, it makes perfect sense.
Hey man, uncalled for.
Don’t go after good hydration like that.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such blatantly and unapologetically racist government policy in my life time.
Don’t get me wrong, we’ve come close, but this genuinely might just take the cake.
Because as long as they get clicks, they don’t care, and anything with “Gaza” or “Palestine” in it will generate those clicks. Plus, running such stories is substantially less likely to result in someone lighting a fire underneath them then the other stuff they should be covering.
Great position to take as someone who isn’t in the targeted minority. Immigrants and transexuals don’t have the option of just waiting it out. And we shouldn’t sit by and watch them suffer.
Seriously, read a Holocaust memoir or something. “Night” is quite good (just read it with my grade 11s), and really puts the “it won’t be that bad” rhetoric into perpsective.
Trump’s rhetoric echoed Hitler in 2015. Sit down and actually read Mein Kampf. They’re the same person.
Don’t get me wrong I am glad to see that the mainstream world is catching up, but man, it’s frustrating to see 9 year old revelations as “news”.
This is like… A very unfortunately timed still frame of him moving his arm for some non-seig heil reason, right?
…right?
Don’t get me wrong, these alt-right fascists are fro thing frothing at the mouths over the idea of being the nazi’s of the 21st century and “getting it right this time,” but there’s no way they’re going mask off this quickly.
…right?
Billionaire Trump adviser said his ‘significant investments’ in the country justified his wading into German politics
At least we agree: his wealth is everyone’s problem. The difference is that I think it’s time we do something about it.
If I found myself in Florida, I’d pull out before I finish too.
Okay, but, even ruled an accident, why is this guy not up for manslaughter charges? Do I grossly misunderstand what manslaughter is?
This is definitely some smoking gun tier bullshit, but even given every benefit of the doubt in the world, the negligence has to be criminal.
