Maybe I’m smarter than you if you think I’m talking down to you while having a normal ass conversation 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why would anyone hack me? I’m poor, I’m boring, I have basically nothing to offer

EE dying or another round of Reddit bans, probably both

Kinda owe it to the women of France considering all the heinous shit they allow to happen to women and their children there

I bet it sounds a lot better when spoken in French too

Is it not a historical name? Like people have great great grandparents with this name maybe?

He’s right to feel uncomfortable because it’s inappropriate. My kids are 19 and 21 and while I am hopeful/happy for them to have intimate adult relationships they find fulfilling I don’t have any interest in those relationships happening under my roof with what is essentially a stranger. My son has been in a relationship with a nice young woman for about a year and a half and while I would have no issue with them sharing a room I wouldn’t want my 19 year old sharing her room with a freshly found boyfriend or vice versa, it is intimate and I care about the quality of my kids relationships and if they’re dating someone who doesn’t respect that I don’t want causal sex going on in my house I don’t know how quality this person they’re dating even is… for me, as the parent in this situation is that this feels way too much like casual sex which I feel isn’t in most people’s best interests. Hook up else where and figure it out six months down the road

Counterpoint, that’s actually not the blues states jobs, our job is to take care of our state(s) just like others states job is to take care of themselves.

As a Washingtonian I would be thrilled if the west coast became independent but there’s no movement towards it and of course the road getting there is unknowable, but as an abstract concept it’s lovely.

Red states have done nothing but hold places like where I live back, they’re actively dragging us down with them and it’s wildly unfair to ask me and my people to subsidize states that relish in our destruction and aim to drown us along side themselves. Red states don’t deserve to be subsidized, let them live with the consequences of their actions without the comfort blue states afford them and see how long those red state governments last.

Americans are always about how we hate the government of a country but not the people, at least this American is and all the Americans I know are, I know it’s not literally universal. To say “I hate the Iranian government but not Iranian people” seems pretty reasonable if you hate the Iranian government but for them to turn around and basically say “well I consider all American entities, including completely powerless civilians free game” is fucked I’m no matter how you look at it. Like wtf more do you want from me? I vote against this, have for decades, I protest against this have been since W was in office, I donate money and energy to war torn countries, I’m absolutely against bombing any country why exactly am I considered fair game?? Fuck anyone who lumps entire countries of people into a single hive-mind that serves its leader, a fraudulent one no less

Iran is their ally yet they’ve allowed Israel to strike Iran with out repercussions so they’re sending a lot of mixed messages

They are

That’s literally an upvoted comment here with the person “guaranteeing” it would be exactly the same

That’s why they picked Italy, Italy loves fascism

Islam is hell for women but this is a thin veneer of lies to justify something he already wanted to do. I hope one day no Muslim women exist because Islam hates women so deeply they realize no loving or reasonable god would create a system reliant on their subjugation and leave.

There’s a reason you don’t want to be on someone else’s team if we’re going to play trivia 😈I remember so much stuff, as long as it’s not math, I can’t do math.

The “bell beaker” people and culture is a fun rabbit hole for anyone interested in ancient water carrying technologies

Nope, I dont fuck with that instance

I’m reading this book called Heartland that actually really deep dives into why so many Americans are ok with this, the fact of the matter is huge parts of the US have been living in abject poverty since basically always and it’s part of their culture to not need much, wanting things is looked down on as weakness, it’s a cultural part of long term poverty for huge swaths of the US, that living a hard life is the only way to live, there’s obviously many layers to this but it’s not a thing you can just think your way out of (because not getting educated is also part of this culture) since culture and identity are so deeply intertwined and you see that culture being actively promoted and spread via “trad culture” which is very much popular, especially with young men, trad is just code for poor

Everything you said is true of the GOP/American Right as well, and they do it the same way, through oligarchy, it’s just a matter of they having more time to ratchet it down where the US is just getting its official start, although it’s been working behind the scenes towards this for decades too
