Our country looks weak and debased because of all this.

Maybe because we have become weak and debased, letting the shrillest voices of fear guide our politics for decades.

So … link the info on the tests?

You are continuing to appeal to your own authority in this.

“I was just following the rules”?

On the one hand, you’re correct.

On the other, you need to think and be brave and be willing to take a little risk sometimes to protect others. Otherwise we end up with something like the quote above and…

Can’t take an L and reevaluate or something? Why this response to a pretty reasonable rebuttal of your surface take?

Calling these things presidential “debates” is rich, indeed.

Yep, and it seems like we have stopped putting riders on our weapons to Israel where it seems like they’re using them to steal land.

Yet we have them on weapons we give to Ukraine who are <checks notes> trying to get back their stolen land.

The cognitive dissonance my country subjects me to is fucking cruel and unusual.

I gave but a small slice of historical context. You decided I left stuff out on purpose and then made that left out stuff about “male victims.”

🤷‍♂️

Your commwnt seems like it comes from a men/women us/them perspective that’s really confusing for me.

The problem isn’t feminism. Feminism hasn’t been damaging. Toxic masculinity has been damaging. The feminist movement would have had a real hard time existing without the suffrage movement that proceeded it. And that movement would have been totally unnecessary without patriarchy/toxic masculinity convincing men of the time women were not human enough to vote.

So … your explanation, to me, at best seems ignorant of a decent chunk of recent history.

Personally kind of wondering if the city-state was the best balance.

My friend … all we need to do is let his investors at him.

I would have believed you a few years ago.

At this point I think Putin has to have serious doubts that he could use a nuke and have it actually work. He’s up against both western tech and his own corruption.

I consider myself to be my consciousness. When I die, I am gone. I have no emotional attachment to the body my consciousness existed in. I am an organ donor. I’d prefer my body go to help people, but if parts of it don’t - I have no possible way to care.

I am probably not the only person who feels roughly like this. Seems plausible to me that you could ethically source human skulls. 🤷‍♂️

What kind of post is this? I see them sometimes on fedia.io - I can read the title but there is no image and it doesn’t seem to link to anything.

Anyone else on an mbin instance knkw what’s up with these?

It’s good they hit their target.

Did they damage that target? Disable it? Destroy it?

That statistic is only the first element in the chain.

Can you explain more why you think Ford’s 40hr week is bad?

I thought it represented a pretty marked improvement compared to typical job requirements at the time?

Ford is no hero. A documented anti-semite with lots of other bad takes, but I am not clear on why you would pick his working hours as the thing to highlight.

I am unaware of a source, but this has been the rumor running around about why they have been talking about the loss with the specific language they have been.

You talkim the ol white plastic bottles with the foil cap and no labels?

No, he is legit this bad at managing a company.

Or he could have avoided the whole thing by complying with the congressional subpoena. 🤷‍♂️

These people are something else.

Why are people so mad that batteries are better than dead dinosaur farts? What is the weird obsession with burning ooze and gasses from mother earth? We have better options?
