I know not to expect better but as a parent this is just beyond unacceptable. If I was a parent of one of those lost children I wouldn’t know what I would do with myself other than be more radicalized

All of a sudden the city council decides they need curb the power of the mayoral office.

What is America offering that China isn’t? Hard to believe this administration would give them a fair deal.

BuT JeSuS wAsN’t PoLiTiCaL. NoW BaN aBoRtIoN!

Anecdotal: traveling to the smoky mountains and rented some bicycles. Owner said rentals are down 30% compared to this time last year.

Don’t bother with this guy, @ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works has done some mental gymnastics to justify starving the Palestinian population. So it really isn’t surprising they would want to vote for the most ghoulish option.

But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

Just a damn good point that race is not set in stone but dynamic. Haven’t seen this point until now.

Padme: you are going to release the video footage, right?

Reminds me of an adage:

It takes two to lie: one to lie, and one to listen

The Bible accuses Canaanites of child sacrifice and that led to their judgement and destruction. And these fools think God is going to bless us for letting our children get murdered (and don’t even get my started on our hand in the death of Palestinian children).

At this point the constitution is just an excuse.

This empire is going to take a few generations to fall. Doubt I’ll see a revolution in my life time, but maybe my kids will get to see that silver lining.

America was always the 2nd Reich

Musk has his own marketing apparatus in China as well, and the government has been looking the other way because this feud will benefit them in the long run.

3 times the budget for the Marines. Crazy

Says people should learn to speak English in America, cuts funding for English learning.

Eh, we need a cultural shift that neuters marketing or else people will always be subject to the whims of those with capital.

For whatever reason we are not understanding each other. I don’t think I can restate it any more clearly. I guess we just have to leave it at that.

Let me put it another way. You are wrong in regards to trans participation in sports but not because you are being a contrarian. You are also wrong to use your contrarian stance to justify your opinion. Hopefully that clears things up.

I’m not saying you’re wrong because you’re contrarian, most of the people here fall into the category. What I am saying is that using the fact that an opinion is contrarian is not evidence that it is correct.
