This guy once posted to reddit asking for advice on how to remove “a cylinder” from a mini m&m container filled with mashed banana. He claimed it was time critical and that absolutely no damage should be caused to the cylinder during removal. People kept laughing at him for getting his dick stuck in an m&m tube and telling him to go to the hospital, but he refused to budge on it being a problem involving a cylinder and would not confirm that a penis was involved.
Women are getting rid of their Trump supporting partners while they still legally can since they clearly don’t give a shit about them or any other woman.
If you’re thinking about getting a divorce, you should do it while you still can.
I feel like media got so much worse once i started just like. Taking a mental note of how many stories are about a dude’s dead wife and/or daughter, and said death motivating him to go do whatever the plot needs him to do
It’s misogyny. It’s misogyny, if they were/stayed alive they’d have to be written with a convincing level of internality, and would likely have opinions about our male protagonists’ actions. Fuck, they might like, idk, take action themselves. And that’s hard to write. It’s the tragic equivalent of the damsel in distress, it’s a way of removing women from stories, making them a victim of the narrative. You can call it misogyny. This isn’t about grief, this is a narrative shorthand to justify sending a guy to go do the plot. If it’s ever about grief the author is kidding themselves.
Thinking about how many Breaking Bad fans hated Walter’s wife, because she got mad about the whole drug dealing thing.
There’s lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa
They should make an anime about major history events actually. That way people could still ship the characters and be forced into accidentally learning things
Ok I’m tripping. If you genuinely believe the term “Zionism” conflates with genocide and ethic cleansing, you do you.
But do you genuinely, GENUINELY, believe that the 90+% of Jews who identify as Zionists are going by the same definition that you are…?
Because it seems to me this is about semantics now.
Every Zionist Jew I know (which, as far as I know, is all of them), are peace-forward humans who, like most others, have critical opinions about government systems and strategies, while also believing a Jewish state (not ethnostate, there’s a difference) in our ancient homeland is not inherently evil. and that having a Jewish state is important for our continued survival.
So don’t you think that if most Jews have an entirely different definition of the term than the one you have (and that term, after all, is most relevant to Jews, so I would imagine our definition holds more weight than yours) that maybe you should come up with a different word?
And do you genuinely believe that a country with a 20% non-Jewish population (and growing) is an enthostate just bc of the term “Zionism” being attached to it? I mean, I can name several countries with nearly no ethnic or religious diversity, that are by all definitions real ethnostates, that are not having anyone calling for their destruction en masse.
Are there kahanists in the current Israeli government? Um yeah. And most Israelis want them out. Their government has a ton of shit in it—not unlike my own government. Is there a horrific war going on that the Israeli government has handled in a way that hasn’t even prioritized the lives of the hostages as much as it should?Yeah! And Israelis know that and are angry about it!
But since when does a country’s current shit ass government determine the entire country’s right to even exist?
Like fuck, the IRI is one of the most evil fucking regimes on earth and i sure as hell do not want Iran to cease to exist because of them and their actions. Arab imperialism has all but erased the indigenous Persian culture from your collective minds, but I sure as hell still don’t want Iran to cease to exist just bc it’s current form is that of an imperial power.
And since when does a messy and violent nation building event (which has happened countless times in the last 100 years) mean that that nation in present day is not valid?
Does a violent independence automatically negate a right to exist? Bc if so, there are many many other countries’ dismantlings you should be simultaneously calling for (maybe even your own?).
So tbh, call for bibi’s head for all I care. Call for the removal of the kahanist crazies from the Knesset. Call for land back for families who were removed during the 1948 war. Call for settler violence in the West Bank to be punished more seriously. Things that will actually improve the lives of Palestinians in and around israel.
But why TF are you calling for the destruction of the Jewish state as a whole?
A country that has one of the most diverse populations by religion and ethnicity in the entire ME. A (flawed) democracy that is a safe haven for sexual minorities in the region. The only country in the entire world where Jews are the majority and dont have to live under Christian or Arab rule (like tbh I personally think that the US is a Christian country that just pretends it isn’t, so…).
You don’t call for anything that would actually improve the situation for the Palestinians. You ignore (or praise!!!) any other regime or government doing just as much or more harm to them. You conflate every Israeli civilian (sorry, Jewish civilian) with kahanist beliefs that they don’t have. You don’t bother to learn about the countless other messy and violent nation building that has happened anywhere else in the last 100 years, or debate about their right to exist. You spend so much time absorbing instagram reels about this one country’s wrong doings (real or not) that it has become your whole personality, while your own country is likely currently or has recently done something 100x more horrible (speaking as a US citizen).
All you care about is the complete destruction of the Jewish state.
I think I know why.
Some people say they are antizionist in that they want a “free Palestine where all religions can live freely together”. So…it would be a democracy? Which Israel currently is (it needs some work, but who tf am I to talk as an American with a fascist president about to take office).
And it would be a non-religious country? So…Palestinians who have largely always wanted to live in a Muslim country would do what or go where, exactly?
Or, would it be an Arab country where Jews can live equally under the law? (That’s literally never worked before in history, but sure let’s live in fantasy world for a minute.) So that would be like…just the inverse of current Israel? lol.
I genuinely don’t understand what it is you want that doesn’t involve the disenfranchisement of Jews.
I’m convinced at this point it’s the kind of thing where people get convinced the more radical position is always the most righteous one.
i’m usually all about girl protags but man adora from she-ra did NOTHING for me. cardboard ass protag. most of the cast left me cold, actually. i was watching that show purely for catra by like, season 2.
i see, i see. yeah, i don’t relate to that, as an only child. i didn’t pick up on those themes at all.
Adora is relatable because she is fundamentally a dorky herbo jock.
With its powerful jaws and sharp teeth, the California sheephead is an incredible fish that can cut through the mightiest sea urchins and protect kelp forests!
Did we mention they also sleep in a mucus cocoon at night? 👀
Please for the love of god. You should be able to change controls WITHOUT TAKING YOUR EYES OF THE ROAD. There is no reason to have to look at a SCREEEN while DRIVING
Worth pointing out that in her capacity as VP Kamala Harris cast a tie breaking vote in the senate to save union pensions.
Economy is still important to working class people. People are just too stupid to understand that a president can be very good at their job, and still inherit external shitshows that tank or inflate the economy. Trump lost in 2020 because things were shit. Kamala lost in 2024 because shit was expensive. US presidents can’t control the economy, but they live or die by it.
