You mean you don’t insult the intelligence of people who don’t immediately grasp the reality of a process when confronted with incongruous information they’d attained by being removed from the forces/systems that dictate that process?
Lame-o
Essentially saying we’ll just ‘install’ piracy, as FitGirl is a major player in the piracy scene (as far as games go, no clue if they do other things).
Unless I’m wrong and Fitgirl now has repacks for major android/iOS apps that can be utilized through an existing app interface.
I have a little, it’s to try and get me and my partner the hell out of this state. Not enough for a house, but enough for a used car and a u-haul and first and last month’s rent somewhere else.
A lot of us are living paycheck to paycheck, we’re lucky to be a bit above that and not have kids. Almost all the people we know from high school and college are in worse boats than us.
And advocating for a general strike is ILLEGAL and a very easy charge in Trump’s America at this point.
I’ve been rolling around forums and whatnot to see the interest for such topics, and they seem high, but no one is talking about what I’m supposed to do to pay for my pets and apartment when I have 0 support structures in a deeply red state. They don’t treat the homeless very well here, and it’s freezing half the year.
Not that you’re saying it’s easy, you rightly pointed out food too. I just wish there were more resources, or ways to get connected. My community does the No Kings protests, but most of them balked at the Kirk shooting so they’re not quite radicalized enough for the other actions that a not-entirely-peaceful protest would bring.
Damn, I love seeing comments where people change their mind with more info.
I TOO thought it had to be malarkey, and then got existentially panicked, and then read the proposed theories about why and am less existentially aware. Universe is big, man, weird shit, and now it’s kind of in a pizza dough shape? Wild.
Yeah, a cheap printing shirt from like Gildan can be found at Michael’s STARTING at 20 dollars. 20 dollars (less maybe, if they can get wholesale prices) and you’re already eating well into any profit from a 42 dollar shirt after printing and shipping.
Consent in an imbalanced power dynamic is not always recognized as consent.
Sure, the girls that Louis CK jerked off in front of didn’t scream and run out of the room, but they WERE placed in an inappropriate situation with someone who held the keys to their career. And what did we as a society do? We lambasted him for being weird and not understanding that dynamic, and his career has yet to really recover. He didn’t rape anybody, no, but he sure did abuse his power over those people. Are these similar situations, in your opinion?
I love that you think it’s a generational thing.
And you call people who call out DRASTIC POWER DYNAMICS as prudes. Dude. Do you remember being 20-22? You know she JUST got the right to drink, right? Even if there was a personal interest in Bill Clinton sexually, the dynamic makes any sexual contact inappropriate while he’s her boss. Don’t tell me you think all those stories of 20-something secretaries sleeping with their boss were all consensual love affairs?
Not every power imbalance is coercive, but the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TALKING TO A 21 YEAR OLD STAFFER IS
In case you didn’t consider that one
Gross, dude
Oh that’s fun, you ignored all the rest.
I didn’t say they were extremists, I said they held some fundamental beliefs. The ones I see that are modern american Muslims, maybe once a week, it’s gone down since college for sure.
Bonus answer: no way, people don’t all wear religious clothing? Where did you get the impression I said I knew someone was Muslim by eyesight? I see a few Sikhs, sure, but most Muslim men, where I am, don’t where traditional clothing, maybe some handmade shirts from their trips back home but they’re still collared shirts and buttons ups in a western style. I have met maybe two women who are Muslim that don’t wear some kind of religious attire, be that a headwrap or a niqab. They also drank beer and were fond of the occasional midnight bacon burger, so they were far from being very devout.
Got more?
Maybe, it’s not what I see every day. I meet fundamentalists all the time, even if they don’t consider themselves one. Do US Christians practice fundamentalist christianity to the tee? No, they wear polyester and don’t properly take the sabbath and go off the rails about the 10 commandments all the time. But they THINK they adhere to the faith they were raised in. Even my progressive Muslim friends in college still held some ass-backwards beliefs they didn’t shed because, to them, that’s still modern interpretation or socially acceptable interpretation of their religious text.
You write like I’m painting all Muslims as regressive. Please, consider instead that I’m saying all religions, at their root, are regressive and it is the shedding of those beliefs that lead to a more modern form of that religion, but it does not entirely root out the thoughts/beliefs that founded the faith.
Ask a progressive Muslim what they think about child marriage as it relates to the prophet, or a Baptist Christian what they think about homosexuality, or a hassidic Jew what they think about the modesty of today’s clothing. You’ll get regressive answers from just about every single one, or, that’s been my experience.
All religions I’ve read about so far, that I can recall, are. Islam is, christianity is. If Abraham was a cornerstone to your stories, there’s a good chance there’s some oppression there.
Oppressing your slaves by allowing them to exist at all and the determinations of who CAN be kept. Oppressing your daughters with religious traditions about marriage and subservience to your parents/husband. I can go on, not that this is strictly about Islam, this applies just about everywhere when applied from a fundamentalist viewpoint, and even those that don’t still harken to societal norms built on those fundamentalist values (tons of my Muslim friends in college had big fights about the white women they were bringing home…from the rural US where white women are the most common women for them to meet). Crazy business to not see that
The shirt was a pro-feminism message that’s reportedly been used by groups in the past.
If you’re religion is, unfortunately, tied to oppression of rights, then I give 0 fucks if someone makes a statement or shirt or whatever about those messages.
Don’t shit on religious people for their nice beliefs, like don’t play thrash metal on blast in the parking lot of a bakesale for the church. But anythjng about it’s messaging or reach or the negative aspects and I’m all game.
I have pets that need fed, rent that needs paid, and survival to keep in mind.
Can you link me to resources to help me provide for those things while I’m 24/7 rioting?
SHIT I need that, just looked through post history and he’s got a lot of ‘my body my choice’ answers to vaccines too.
Well, one more blocked knucklehead
But that just feels like calling out people who buy jeans in the western world. Yes, I wear my jeans for years, patching them when possible. But a factory in Indonesia dyed these jeans indigo with child workers who take that poisoning home with them.
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, or so they say, so why not subtract the 2 from both sides and pull it entirely out of the equation?
You’ve added a perfectly reasonable leisure activity, traveling for entertainment, and then put it next to ‘person literally takes a bus into the atmosphere for a few hours so they can get somewhere faster’. In what way is her mode of travel the burden of the concert-goers?
Individual choices make a difference, and I’m not begrudging someone for driving an hour and a half to the nearest Zoo, so I’ve got no problem with people in the US taking the only real means of transit available to them. Bands/groups can take tour busses, trains. They can fly to another country if needed. But land travel is still more economically and environmentally friendly than air travel. If they carpooled, because it’s a concert far enough away, even better.
Anyone who owns a private jet, anyone, is a MASSIVELY larger problem than the average human, and then corporations are an order of magnitude larger than regular private jet owners
I don’t know what the server rules are, but there’s a good chance (if it’s like others I see) it requires the poster to post the headline exactly as it’s written. And that’s the headline the link uses.
Sensationalism, yes. But reporting him might not really be worth the mod’s time if that’s a rule for this instance.
I think you’re getting the downvotes (and I think I saw a few others mention this) because your argument is rooted in the word keeping the exact definition it was historically created in.
People who ‘simp’ for China are not ‘Mao apologists’ but that’d be a fine enough term for me to understand exactly who, in the modern day, is being insulted.
In similar fashion, no, existing fascists in the republican party are not literally National Socialist German Workers’ Party members, but they DO have a lot of similarities to the values and actions we have distilled down over the last 80 years that we attribute to ‘Nazis’.
So, no, they’re not Nazis, but to call them such isn’t to ‘change history…’ as you put it, and is instead a means of identifying extreme and harmful beliefs with an existing, demonized (for good reason) label to accent the severity of their beliefs as they compare to modern sensibilities related to freedom.
They downvoted you because you became a Dictionary Nazi, the Grammar Nazi’s even less-liked younger brother
