Pretty much. My wife recognized a long time ago that things like women's razors from the major manufacturers are basically the same thing as the men's, right down to the connectors, but with a coat of pink and an extra $2-3 tacked on. She buys the same ones I do and doesn't bat an eye about it. If more women would realize the same thing and not give a crap about how the soap smells or having fifteen different hair products taking up space in the shower, the "pink tax" would be a thing of the past.
It strikes me as a subreddit where they go to bitch about stuff being branded pink versus blue, and the ensuing "pink tax" complaints that inevitably follow.
Personally, I think they left off one to the right of "Gorilla" on grip strength. They need one for "Horny Teenage Boy With Internet Access".
Obviously a he-said-she-said situation, but being fired from a posh security position for "sleeping on the job" seems like a trumped-up reason for getting rid of someone. I wouldn't put it past Kris to be hitting on the help (especially considering she probably wasn't getting any dick from Bruce for a long while before he turned into a she), and seeing as how Kourtney has popped out three kids and is starting to hit the wall it wouldn't surprise me if she wasn't trying to get a little extra-curricular validation from the security detail, either.
Hey, if everyone from Kekistan can claim "meme magic" got Trump into office on the first go-around, we can let them LARP on this one. It'll make things that much sweeter when he goes back in for a second term.
Wonder how much longer before the cameras that are aimed at her cell mysteriously stop working and she manages to somehow hang herself from the lower bunk of her cell's beds.
The O.G. Captain Marvel from the '60s (the white dude in the hero suit) will run you around $50 or more per issue depending on what kind of shape they're in and the relevance of the issue.
Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) issues from the '70s, you're looking at anywhere from a buck and up, depending on grading and relevance.
Anything newer than Silver Age and you're looking at a baseline value of around a buck per issue, if you're even going to be paying that much for it. You can probably find a lot of the new Captain Marvel (Carol) and Ms. Marvel (Kamala) issues in the quarter bin at your FLCS.
Pretty much this. In their mind it's perfectly fine to "race-lift" a white character into a POC (Heimdall, Valkyrie, or what they tried to do with Iron Fist), but heaven forbid that you try to swap out any other race to white. Hell, the gingers in pretty much any comic book or movie adaptation get it the worst - there's a meme example out there of how many redheads from comics and cartoons got swapped into non-white people in live adaptations.
That being said, I do remember a small blow-up when it was rumored that they were looking at remaking Buffy the Vampire Slayer and they wanted to recast Buffy as a POC to start with. All the blue-hairs over on Twatter lost their shit because HOW DARE THEY. Just more "rules for thee and none for me" crap, if you ask me.
The hottest-selling book of all time is about ...
Let's also not forget that it's a thinly-veiled Twilight fan-fic to begin with, and how many hundreds of thousands of soccer moms had to change their panties over Team Jacob or Team Edward. I'd have hated to have been a theater worker during those movies' runs, what with having to mop the floors and hose down the seats after every showing.
I get it. I mean, the comic book industry is cucked to hell, and independent artists have to virtue signal it out there so they can keep getting gigs from the Big Three. Trouble is, the bias is so obvious that if anything it's affirmed my notion that having anyone with a D- in front of their name on the ballot reach office is possibly the worst thing that could happen to any state/local/national office. So yeah, I'm going to vote, and they're not going to like what way I go with it. That being said, it's not like my vote matters beyond the local and State level. I live in Illinois, so it doesn't matter what the rest of the state votes, the liberal mecca that is Chicago will always make sure our electoral votes go Blue. If you want to talk "disenfranchised voters", just look at the entirety of downstate. We get screwed every time election day rolls around.
Sometimes not even that, considering how many divorced men remarry. The thirst is real.
Some dudes never make it off the plantation. Honestly, for them it'd be cheaper to just go out once every five years, pick up the hot chick they've been lusting over, and give them a house. At least they wouldn't get alimony-raped or be on the hook for child support in the process.
Last I'd heard, they split a while back.
quit at the end of season 1, as soon as it was revealed that Butcher's wife was still alive.
That was just about the dropping point for me, too. I can handle them deviating from The Boys hitting themselves up with V to put themselves on an even playing field, but as soon as the show takes a left turn into new plot territory with a major hook like that, I check out.
...but I'm not surprised that people remain incapable of adapting decent comic series (cough cough, Preacher).
Considering Seth Rogen is attached to both of them, and Preacher was shit, I can't say as I'm surprised that The Boys has gone straight down the tube, too.
Just waiting for them to turn the Sandman adaptation into a bullshit wokefest.
Gaiman himself is working on the project. Just write it off, now, as he went full woke a long time ago. Go back and re-read the comics, and pretend like the adaptation never happened.
Please, no-one touch Transmetropolitan.
You'd think it would be a slam-dunk for them, they could make The Beast a Trump analogue, right? Nope, because that would make The Smiler the leftist analogue, and they're not going to let that happen. No left-wing producer in their proper mind is going to touch Transmet with a ten foot pole, because there's no way they can spin that and make it work without broadcasting the message that all politicians are corrupt assholes and none of them deserve to be in office.
If you ask me, a stinky person is a stinky person, regardless of race, creed, or color. "Oh, I got away with not showering because I'm a white male!" No, you absolute walnut, you got away with it because you write articles for The Atlantic and do guest lectures for a living, neither of which requires you to put forth much sweat equity. Get out there and work as a pipefitter, welder, or plumber for a living, see how long you can go without properly bathing then.
As a current central-stater (I'm right about at the midline where things start turning into the southern part and people start to get that drawl in their speech), I have to agree. The people around here are generally helpful and have a decent head on their shoulders, although there are pockets of wokeness here and there that make one scratch their head. I also have to agree that watching the Republican reps from around here try to do anything is comparable to a simian attempting to fornicate with sports equipment. If we could ever get Emperor Madigan out of his seat, we might actually be able to do something with the state, but at this point his ass is going to die in that chair before he ever retires.
I dunno about evicting them to a third-world country, but I've often been a huge proponent of "workfare" instead of "welfare". Y'know who doesn't have time to pop out a pack of kids? Women who are working. Start up a government training program that first centers on child care/food preparation and sock them into that as a requirement to get their monthly stipend. Force them to get GEDs if they don't already have a high school diploma. That way the ones who are having 12 kids by 10 baby-daddies will be properly trained in running a child care facility and Woman A can look after Woman B's kids at the state child care center while Woman B is getting trained for some other state-sponsored position. Once enough of them are trained for non-child-care jobs, put them into state-run positions as well, and make that their job. Guaran-damn-tee you that they'll stop popping out kids if they're too tired from working and they have to do so to keep their housing and monthly money.
Pick a Midwest state that's fully red and head for a suburban or smaller-but-decent urban area you can find there. Anywhere that's major urban is likely being slowly infected by the virus, so you'll want to avoid that like the plague.
And stay the hell away from anywhere in Illinois. The place is an economic shit-hole and despite downstate being covered in Red, the Blue that is Chicago is in control of the whole place.
Anywhere but Illinois. The state may be mostly red, but the economy is in the shitter and the entire state is run by Blue cronies from the Chicagoland area. They're gearing up to completely fuck the middle class if the "fair tax" amendment gets passed. Anyone with any money and sense who could get the hell out of here by now already has, and if I could afford to move out of this shit-hole state, I damn well would.
Recent Army figures show that 54 percent of female soldiers failed the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is being rolled out on a provisional basis, compared with 7 percent of men during the second quarter of 2020.
Well, I know I couldn't pass that shit, but fuck, if you're going to be in the military then you damn well need to keep your ass in shape and be able to measure up to the standards. War doesn't give a fuck if you're male or female, every bullet out there that is flying in your direction is addressed to "occupant".
One female soldier, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of damaging her career, said she attained high scores on the old test. But despite years of exercising to enhance her upper-body strength, including during periods of intense workouts on overseas deployments, she remains unable to do even a single pullup or leg tuck. “I can’t even start to flex” upward, she said.
Well, then Get Gud, n00b. There's exercises for that. Go read reddit's /r/bodyweightfitness board.
The soldier, who had a baby this year
Ahh, and there we have it. She popped out a crotch-spawn, while still enlisted and expects special treatment for it because she probably let herself go during the nine months. This shit is exactly why if they're going to have kids, they need to gtfo and go be a home-maker or find a different vocation.
Another event that could pose a challenge for women, who tend to weigh less than men, is the dead lift, meaning they may be lifting a weight that is heavier relative to their body mass.
Again, no shit. If you're going to be out there with the guys and one of them gets shot up and disabled, you need to be able to drag their ass back to cover and/or get them into a fireman carry. You don't leave your battle buddy behind, but if they can't drag them to cover, that's a problem.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for women joining up to the military if they want to, but if they're going to be there, they need to match up to the physical standards of the job, otherwise they're not a soldier - they're a liability.
Damn shame, this. I used to buy packs of their red beans & rice Ready Rice to go as a side with our taco night food. Guess I'll just switch over to buying the Zatarain's mix and spend the extra half hour cooking it on the stove top instead.
"I'm afraid that the ebil bad orange man is going to make us follow a state religion, so I'm joining this anit-religion over here to own the Republicans and make sure my daughters have rights!"
Yeah, sure, whatever. Let us know how well that works out for you if you ever have to go to court over your "religious" beliefs, or have to explain yourself to a normie Christian person.
M.E. Hart, an attorney who has run hundreds of diversity training sessions for businesses and the federal government, told The Washington Post: "If we are going to live up to this nation's promise — 'we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal' — we have to see each other as human beings, and we have to do whatever it takes, including taking whatever classes make that possible. These classes have been very powerful in allowing people to do that, and we need them more than ever. There's danger here."
Right there you have the mindset of someone who is advocating for equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity. The "classes" don't do jack shit when it comes to making it so that "we see each other as human beings", because they're all about tearing down the 'white male patriarchy oppressor', rather than trying to elevate those who have been marginalized.
On the up-side, if book stores stop stocking Harry Potter and the whackjob SJWs do end up canceling her, maybe they'll finally actually read a different fucking book.
File that under #WokeKids, because it's obviously bullshit but yet the wokesters will still try and get it to pass the sniff test.
Wait, so you're telling me that Bitch Cryer is shitting up yet another game by thrusting socjus infusions into places that he had no right to be anywhere near?
Must be a day that ends in "Y".
