No, it’s not always gendered in that way. I think my dad would be way more flexible about that. He just wants me to hit those milestones of family and house regardless of how at this point, but my mom is way more concerned with what other people might think.
No one is going to explicitly say that, but in some communities the reaction to a son being gay is a lot harsher than to a son sexually harassing someone else.
You got the S and more different S without going too far and adding chiaroscuro shading. I wouldn’t stress about the Vs
Do you have a source for that? Only clip I could find had him also endorsing Susan Collins and was clearly satirical. The stream I watched had him not really sure how to react to it for a while. I think he assumed the skull was more well known than it actually was, like if he had an actual swastika on his chest.
Idk, I was raised Hindu, and the swastika is a fairly common icon and is perfectly reasonable to use but if I’m presenting it in a public context, I understand that I may need to clarify how its being used to people who are not familiar with the specific cultural context in which I’m using the iconography.
He’s not doing that, he’s just like I thought it was a funny skull, and it seems like he was made aware of it before hand, didn’t really get it with any intent around the historical context, and never thought to get it covered up.
I’m not saying he’s a secret Nazi, but I do think he’s just careless with his public image which has real repercussions as a politician on a national stage. Its not even about what other skeletons he has in his closet, its has his campaign team even done its due diligence vetting him and having proper communication strategies around potential scandals that may arise.
No one’s perfect, but part of doing politics professionally in a national scale means taking the job seriously and running your team professionally. It doesn’t matter what your policies are if you can’t develop any influence to actually push your ideology. Otherwise you’re just one vote.
Nancy Pelosi made a good point about AOC when she first joined and tried to aggressively push for policies, she has her agenda and cast her one vote which is all the political power she has. Now that’s not to say you need to bend the knee completely, but AOC has since been able to develop and leverage political pressure from the general public through a well curated personal brand by asking useful questions and running personal brand and her campaign in a serious intentional way. From what I’ve seen of Plattner, I don’t see that coming from him.
Say what you will about Hasan, I think his take on the tattoo is spot on. Regardless of whether or not he has or had Nazi sympathies, it shows a just complete incompetence in how the campaign was run and he’s just a liability to progressive movements.
If he isn’t going to take his campaign itself seriously. How you present yourself and are perceived in public matters and affects your ability to develop coalitions to push through legislation, especially on a national scale as a senator.
If I were a Maine voter, I would hold my nose and vote for him, but the next election cycle, he’s got to go unless he really shows some maturity in how he runs a national campaign within the first year. Otherwise, start looking for and pushing a different candidate for the next election cycle.
Hot take is pretty much a synonym for a gauche non-sequitor, but point taken.
It doesn’t. It costs money to skip a lot of the effort and have someone guide you through a curriculum and give you direct guidance and feedback on how to get that knowledge.
I have an Engineering degree, everything I learned there could absolutely be learned by someone curious poking around on the internet for videos, papers, and course slides that you’ll probably need to read alongside a wiki page. They tend to come up pretty quickly once you’re familiar enough with a field to start investigating one level deeper from a basic high school education.
Hot take, but French people have an inflated opinion about their food. It’s good, but they’re in Europe surrounded by German and English fare so it seems mind blowing to them.
Check out Asia, Vietnam did wonders with whatever the French introduced and that’s like a few decades of guys in street stalls while France has entire institutes dedicated to this stuff.
Ask people in western China how that’s working for them. And that’s only the width of one country, not a continent or hemisphere.
Where are my balls Summer?
Well I don’t mind at all.
*that sounds like the caricature of you I have in my head
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that it’s normal for your family, but for most families that wouldn’t be normal.
If you’re family is open about being sex positive, if talking with your parents about masturbating wasn’t weird as a teenager, then I don’t think it’s that weird of a college send off gift.
Spend the dollar on garbage bags and collect a bunch of bottles and cans. Depending on where you live, you could probably make a good amount of money from that. I’ve seen people with shopping carts full of bottles walking to the recycling kiosks.
Yeah, because the Dems have been keeping him in news cycle after news cycle by attacking him so he can spread his policy ideas.
Yeah, buts it’s just a pot still most of the time, unless it’s raining. Then it’s kind of a packed bed with super loose packing.
I guess snow and hail are something completely different. Dunno what that would be called.
Both are happening.
It’s important to understand what went wrong so when you with on a fix, you won’t make the same mistake.
People can both bitch about politicians and also help fix the problem.
So long as the donor checks keep clearing, establishment Dems are happy to play spoiler for big business and let Trump destroy the country.
