I’m confused with ages here, have we standardized this?
That’s the joke I was making, brother.
The shooter was perhaps afraid of missing the brain.
Sucked off one too many guns, maybe.
No. Nobody is “owed” empathy, you garner it through your actions and circumstances, which is why I and millions of people have absolutely zero empathy for this scumbag. This is a very simple case of you reap what you sow.
Murder can never be condoned or accepted, and it must be met with the appropriate consequences. I do however understand what would lead someone to believe their only hope for a future would be to put a bullet through this guy’s neck.
It’s the Luigi situation all over. Nobody condones murder, but we empathise more with the killer than with the asshole who was fucking us over.
Yep yep, we’re agreeing, sorry if I made it sound like we’re not.
I’m afraid to ask, but is the winner the first one to come up with a brown finger?
Yes, it’s satire, but the thing with satire is that it ridicules something real.
It’s like that “toddlers and tiaras” crap, at that point you’re way past what any sane person considers reasonable and you’re just abusing your kid and their right to privacy for your own ends - be it social recognition, or sympathy, or outright profit. It’s disgusting.
Stop selling it already.
Wednesday, probably.
Absolutely not, this is not democracy. In a democracy, you would vote out the corrupt party and continue with your life.
This is a revolt, and it’s what happens when a government, of any kind, fails its people and also fails to provide them a means of legitimately changing the system.
Doubling down on repression to keep the current system is what leads to rebellion. Seems like the government has backed off, but the seeds are already there…
As is always the case, people don’t go out risking life and limb because they’re mildly inconvenienced, no matter how the broader media tries to paint it.
They do it because they’re being systematically deprived of the very last few footholds they have on survival, on an escape, on a way forward with their lives.
When you squeeze people so much, they have no option - if I’m going to starve to death as a slave, might as well cut out the long suffering and bring some of them down with me. That’s the general atmosphere here…
Like how we used to do it back in the day! You’d Google for stuff, can you imagine it kids?
Lalalalalalaaaaa
Now it’s just me and silence, ‘neath this lonesome midnight blue,
Prayin’ one day my runaway truck remembers me too.
One of the reasons I think the game Alters is very good, it goes into this exact topic.
There’s no way they could do that, because then they’d actually have to board the boat and search for the drugs, and I wouldn’t put it past them to find as much of it as they did WMDs in Iraq.
I have no doubt that the Maduro regime is trafficking drugs, it’s just that any ships the US navy blows up aren’t all necessary related to that, but we’ll never know if they just nuke them.
It’s like “Call of the Night” minus the vampires.
Nah it’s fine, the jobs are gone anyway because China used to buy monstrous quantities of soybeans from the US, and will buy 0 in the last trimester - here’s a link from Reuters. Brazil, Argentina, Chile have ramped up their production massively to accommodate the demand.
Since the jobs are now in other places, no point migrating to the US.
That’s one way of solving the migration issues - nuke the economy and destroy the jobs, so people no longer come.
Same. Like with most articles, I read the abstract and skipped ahead to the conclusion - they couldn’t get sufficient data to prove their theory but further research looks promising.
Exactly.
But just to clarify, do we realize who actually upholds the law? News flash: its not the police. It’s the millions and millions of people who actually abide by it, and that get up and demand justice when it’s not being followed.
Except that no one is doing that, because half of America is being gaslighted and bamboozled by the media that has them trapped in a cloud of ignorance and fear, and the other half seems to be waiting for some superhero to show up and save the day.
To be honest, I’m confused about this too.
How are 40% of respondents being harassed at work for being intersex? How do people even find out?
Only about 30% of the people surveyed identify as cis, and around 15% describe their orientation as heterosexual, so I’m sure that they definitely face many of the same struggles that the LGBTQIA+ community faces as a whole.
But why would discrimination at large be decreasing, except for intersex people? Maybe they’re feeling more empowered to come out, and people don’t know how to react?
I would even expect, if anything, that bigots would be more understanding of someone for whom Nature made life “visibly” harder, but maybe I’m just naive.
In any case, it doesn’t seem like the study sheds enough light on this, hopefully more studies will follow so that we can find a way to do better.
