I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.

The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is "meant for", every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.

This is pedantic and totally irrelevant to the topic of homeless having no place to simply exist.

Unless of course you are trying to highlight the billions of unhoused factory owners?

You're not adding anything useful, insightful or relevant to the conversation. Just being pedantic so you can feel smug.

Maeby: And the worst part is he thinks he’s passing.

Yes, her motivation was make Steve Holt not interested but fundamentally the joke is that Steve wouldn't be attracted to trans woman, which is what happens. Which honestly makes the whole joke worse.

And even if you don't care about that, Maeby's motivation doesn't matter because she still uses transphobia as a way to harass Lindsey behind her back.

I honestly find the whole thing so upsetting and not even remotely funny.

On arrested development I skip the story arc of episodes related to Maeby tricking people in to thinking her mom is trans so they can be awful to her.

There is a lot of casual transphobia that was common at the time, but I just can't fucking stand those scenes.

Not once did the pop psychologist disagree with Trump’s rant that the election had been stolen and that drug-crazed, mentally ill criminal migrants were invading the U. S. McGraw agreed with Trump that world leaders respect him; that he created the best U.S. economy in history; that he was the best president for Blacks since Abraham Lincoln; and that he tried to calm down crowds chanting “lock her up” about Hilary Clinton. Instead, he asked how Trump could keep going and why people were so energized against him, since he had done such good things for America? Trump replied that he loved the country, and it was just habit for many people to support Democrats, while others were just evil people.

This isn't a surprise. Dr. Phil has always been openly a huge piece of shit that cares more for money than anything else. But dude has his own media personality cult following so of course he had have to do a crossover episode with the felon president.

“If someone is going to try and blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself. Is that clear? Hey Bob, if you’re in the audience. That’s how I feel, don’t advertise.

Wolf allegedly tried to grab her six-year-old son and he was able to escape but suffered a cut to his finger. As the woman helped her son, Wolf allegedly grabbed the woman's three-year-old daughter and forced her underwater.

You ever get so drunk that you decide to kill some kids? No? Because that's not a thing. Hate is an American tradition, fuck everything about this lady.

When you are a pastor they let you do it.

It's important to remember that Boeing isn't JUST a plane company, but a government contractor that does a massive amount of rocket work for the armed forces.

There are more people than stock holders that have a vested interest in Boeing.

Trump was booed especially loudly when he called for the Libertarian Party to nominate him, instead of its own candidate, in the election.

"Or you can just keep getting your three percent"

Not that I care, but what the fuck was your plan here? Just roasting libertarians for the fun of it?

Which to be fair, is a hobby of mine.

I feel bad for these women who just took a picture at lunch, and now are being body shamed.

Like, yeah, it's a meme. I know I'm a buzz kill and will get downvoted. But this still sucks.

Tesla fans have taken issue with the word “recall” in the past when the company has proven adept at fixing its problems through over-the-air software updates. But they likely will have to admit that, in this case, the terminology applies.

Even if Tesla sucks super hard, I agree with these complaints. I immediately checked to see if this was a "real" recall or a software one. Since they all need some physical work on them it definitely applies, but I really wish they used a different term for software update "recalls". It's confusing word choice.

"I'm STILL not standing for this divisive garbage. One nation. One anthem."

But kneeling during the national anthem was such utter disrespect that players should be fired?

God. These people are insufferable.

To be clear, I'm not defeneding this pratice but explaining it. This cycle is how large businesses operate to foster growth over time.

  • Lay off people to tell stock holders they are becoming more efficient.
  • wait
  • Hiring spree, announce new features, new directions, hype hype hype
  • wait
  • Lay offs! Trimming overhead! Streamlining! Much efficency! Good business!
  • wait
  • Hyyyyyyype! Discord announces a plan to replace iMessage, Email and the entire concept of texting! Triples their staff! Such hype!

Rinse, repeat

It's horrific for the employees and a scathing indictment as capitalism as a whole. But, this is how large businesses work, not nessecarily a massive corporate slip up.

Here is a lawyer explaining the "dance steps" that the game industries is doing as of late.

Two things can be true at the same time.

  1. She is a target of mysgonstic flavored consisparcy theories.

  2. She truly is unlikeable with half measure policies while being woefully out of touch with the average person.

“Today, the Court puts bump stocks back in civilian hands. To do so, it casts aside Congress’s definition of ‘machinegun’ and seizes upon one that is inconsistent with the ordinary meaning of the statutory text and unsupported by context or purpose.”

“We conclude that [a] semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a ‘machinegun’ because it does not fire more than one shot ‘by a single function of the trigger"

“When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,”

Ignoring reality in favor of weird essentialism to support your base, is like peak conservative. How dumb.

If you are "too big to fail", as in you not operating is disaster for the nation, then you literally need to be nationalized. Some will complain that's socialism, but it's literally the market determining that X industry isn't profitable.

It's only evil socialism if tax money helps poor people, not executive bonuses.

“Uniting Atari and Intellivision after 45 years ends the longest-running console war in history,”

Sure, but they both lost the war long ago. This is just some archeologist coming along to display both their bones in a museum hoping to boost gift shop sales.

Nofap is honestly reaching cult territory. Some of those dorks are swearing they get super powers like night vision and super hearing, all cause they haven't jerked off in a month. It's 50% hilarious and 50% scary.

If only there was some solution to unused corporate office space and the housing crisis that has tents in every city?!?

Oh well. Better give the bank a bailout and stop thinking about it.

Found a list of pal and Pokémon comparisons. And frankly, I think it just shows how lazy Pokémon has always been. Sure the two sheep monsters and the two stingray monsters look similar, but that's because stingrays and sheep actually exist!

Should we start in on gamefreak for ripping off reality?

Dude has a tattoo of Richard Nixon.

he admired Nixon's resilience and that the tattoo was a daily reminder that "when you get knocked down, when things don't go your way, when you're defeated, you got to get up and fight again. It's simply that."

Of course he would talk about it, absolutely would do it too.

"It's so convenient for both work and home. I have essentially reached a state where the office and my home have become one," she said.

This is what happens when companies expect you to live and breath for their bottom line.

Jurgis recollected how, when he had first come to Packingtown, he had stood and watched the hog-killing, and thought how cruel and savage it was, and come away congratulating himself that he was not a hog; now his new acquaintance showed him that a hog was just what he had been-one of the packers' hogs. What they wanted from a hog was all the profits that could be got out of him; and that was what they wanted from the workingman, and also that was what they wanted from the public. What the hog thought of it, and what he suffered, were not considered; and no more was it with labor, and no more with the purchaser of meat. That was true everywhere in the world, but it was especially true in Packingtown; there seemed to be something about the work of slaughtering that tended to ruthlessness and ferocity-it was literally the fact that in the methods of the packers a hundred human lives did not balance a penny of profit.

f there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.

Hey hi, it's me, your trans friend. And you need to put this energy towards protesting Biden instead of leftists. I honestly feel like you are low key getting trolled and missing the point?

Like, seriously, we all know "shithole countries" Trump would be worse on every single issue, including and especially Gaza. But it's six months till the election, PLENTLY of time for a course change by Biden. Absolutely a second Trump term scares the 💩 out of me. So i appreciate where you are coming from, but until it's November, I think pressing Dems and trusting leftists to do whats right day of is the most good y'all can do.

“No one will stop us, not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anyone else,"

Wow, the new years in Israel took back them to 2002.

Someone tell them to don't make the American mistakes post 9/11, oh wait.... :/

Whenever she sneezes I'll give the first one a "Bless you" and the second something like

"Oh GROSS! Can you take that outside?"

"Babe we talked already, I'm not into your kink, stop iniaiting like that"

"Jesus anything for attention with you...."

It's now at the point where when she starts we are both glaring and smirking at each other.

I think it's sorta telling that you did a wiki search for loaded language instead of one for gender affirming care. To be clear, it's absolutely not loaded language, it's just language you don't understand, literally anything can seem vague if you don't know what it entails, if you truly don't want to be like /conservative then I think you should be a but more proactive at self education.

Here is a better rundown from a neutral source. But tldr it'd everything from parental support/respect for prounons/new haircut/clothes and possibly puberty blockers for minors. To hormones, electrolysis and an extremely long list of different surgical options too numerous to lost depending on the person.

So the idea of blocking all medical options for minors is ridiculous since no minors are getting surgery. Period. And puberty blockers are both reversible and have been used for decades. Legislation restricting what psychologists, pediatricians and endocrinologists have all agreed as safe and effective treatment is just lunacy and bigotry.

Your daily reminder that "toxic masculinity" was a term coined by men sick of the negative mental health effects on having to conform to aggressive and dominate stereotypes.

Ya know, in case you think some other gender came up with it.

So I lived in the Everett area and worked near the Boeing plant. My ex gf's brother worked directly on the line. One family dinner someone mentioned the two MAX crashes mentioned in the video. He totally brushed them off and said

They were from """n-word""" countries. They crashed it themselves.

He was the most blatant, but the other Boeing folk I knew spoke simmiliarly.

Good for him. As a queer woman, it's always nice to see progress. But just like Pete Buttigeig, trash policies means I absolutely won't vote for him. Nor commit his name to memory, despite libertians booing at Trump the other day, they are still conservatives so this dork championing their deregulation nonsense doesn't move the needle for me.

My first viewing I did mostly take it at face value. But in my defense, I was a dumb 11 year old kid. It wasn't until Neil Patrick Haris came out in full SS uniform that I started asking questions.
