This is so infuriating. The sport depends on volunteers to act as spotters and it’s a position of great trust. He knows admitting to this is terroristic and will impact lifters confidence performing lifts going forward.

A strange game.

The only winning move is not to play.

Both parties try to be all things to all people, so the Republican party tries to show itself as accepting to the “good” gays etc., and the Democratics have kept the Hyde Amendment so the more pro life people can be all like, “At least my money isn’t being used for it”.

I think people also vote in line with their family and friends and may have just been supporting a party their whole life so as either the party or the person changes, they just keep voting that way.

ADHD means I am incapable of paying attention to something unless my brain decides I should be paying attention to it. I love watching a very slim collection of movies lol.

Calloused != callous so I don’t really expect them to be able to understand toxic masculinity is not required for being handy 🤷‍♀️

Also I’m staying the fuck away from angry power fantasy men during emergencies thanks.

It makes no sense because some A+ comrades are not blocked but I am? It must be the veganism.

Edit: oh darn, another comment says it’s likely because I have the same username on different instances. I thought that was the least shady way to do things?

Some of us don’t know how to use computers and didn’t realize how the fediverse worked at first 🥲

Edit: I hope it was one of these

Forgot about this one

This little guy is right there!

Some may not be strictly absurdist but I like them :3

Eta: turns out all the weirdos are on Pinterest nowadays. Most of these memes are from there.

Not sure what any of this has to do with discrimination?

I don’t even know what this Tesseract is

Oh I see

Lmao right? LLM learned to from somewhere.

Right, I assumed it was also referencing this.

What am I missing about the comments here? It’s a satirical cartoon, so it’s not meant to be taken as these labels are what the author would apply to each group.

I read it as highlighting the hypocrisy of how Ukraine fighting Russia is self defence but Palestine fighting Israel is seen as terrorism.

Is this a controversial take?

Please provide me an address so I can send you my therapy bill.

I love this cutlery shelf!!!

I have to hand wash my chopsticks because they fall through the cutlery basket and create a disaster in my dishwasher…

Yes, and it’s not just boomers. Apart from obvious homophobic responses you have to come out over and over again if the people you are interacting with are making assumptions about you.

People default to cishet norms so imagine being asked about your husband when you have a wife and now you feel like you have to correct them. Everyone in the situation now has to decide how to respond. Its awkward as fuck. Or when someone’s eyes get wide after you mention your wife in passing, or use a female name for your partner. Now you need to understand if they are going to be a problem.

I remember running into a higher up and her family at a coffee shop and her shying saying, “Oh, these are my people.” I realized I knew nothing about her personal life (we didn’t work closely). I felt so bad that she had to think about how I could react instead of just introducing them.

In terms of like kids coming out to family/friends there will always be that fear of rejection. It’s a scary thing to say, “hey I’m not that thing you assumed I was”. Further, I think generally shrugs are discouraged - if the person is making announcement it generally means it is important to them, so it may be best supportive to meet that energy.

It’s not contradictory at all. I’m repeating other answers, but I will add some context:

Ethno states are not necessarily against the existence of other ethno states. What better for a white american than a place just for the others?

In fact, nazi germany allowed some german Jews to immigrate to the british palestine with some of their assets (vs just fleeing): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement

(I should mention that Hitler didn’t support the state, so it’s not a 1-to-1, and libyan Jews were sent back to europe to be killed by the Italians )

A group of white americans established the American Colonization Society to encourage Black americans to resettle in what would become Liberia. Lincoln also sent freed Black americans to Haiti.

The other reason is the christian belief that the Rapture (and return of christ) cannot occur until the Jewish people return to isreal. It’s called christian zionism. Even as a child in the 90s in a roman catholic church we hear about how the jewish people were favored by god and we must support israel. I think the context of that was fundraising for settlement orgs.

The solution is simple, don’t eat dead animals and it won’t be advertising!

It’s a nice warm hug, bud. Just what a percentage of the population enjoys.
