I enjoy shitting on McConnell as much as the next person, but without him we would have had Justice Garland.

It had to be so so much worse. Hillary lost to Trump, but it was an election and she could always cope with the popular vote. Ginsberg had no one to blame but herself and her own ego. And the repercussions will last several decades instead of just a term or two. And she would have been completely aware of that.

It makes me smile.

I think it's more personally self-serving than that. They're all fine with a corrupt justice system until there's a risk it might be pointed at them. The same way they were completely fine with watching cities across America burn (and even bailing out the perpetrators), but an unguided tour of the Capital was the worst thing since 9/11.

But if the system can go after Trump, Biden, and their families it's a threat to the political class and must be stopped.

Edit: Also, I think that is a bit personal for Fetterman. He's got some experience with courts being used by political opponents. When he was a mayor, feuding with the with the council, they tried to get him on permitting stuff.

Was waiting for it. The hustle was a pretty much a coin flip between this and "the aliens represent white privilege so this is our story now."

They could just be rootless shitposters . It was fun to troll liberals, but they're off licking their wounds from the election and reminding them that Trump won is passé. So they're looking for other people to start shit with. They get off on the conflict itself and feeling like they have a side.

Wifejak/daughterjak are just meaningless arenas to get their cultural war fix.

First chapter was fine, but might have an unreliable MC. Would not be surprised to see it swerve into "there were never aliens, you've been eating people," later.

Also... the sperm ships, dick noses (that go rigid when they die), and 4chan saying the mangaka is a lesbian who likes male-humiliation themes... it could go some other places too.

That Happy Alien edit isn't going away any time soon though.

I'm going to feel bad about a lot of past comments if it turns out they were actually trying to be fatherly this whole time.

up to 20 hours of paid prenatal leave “during any 52-week period.”

Do they have to reimburse their employer if they take 20 hours off and then abort it?

I agree with the additional point that those male testosterone levels also impact physical attractiveness.

ernsithe 8 points ago +8 / -0

I disagree. I think what is going on is something more like:

Bob is the most attractive guy in his senior class. It helps him win Student Body President. He learns many skills and grows as a person as a result of his experience in the position.
Alice is the most attractive girl in her senior class. It helps her win Homecoming Queen. She gets a crown.

Attractiveness helps women at that moment. It situations where they cannot directly exploit it or their attractiveness fades, the advantage is gone. Men leverage the advantage for self-improvement, creating a persistent benefit that remains even if the attractiveness does not.

tl;dr: "Beauty premium" is transitive without ambition, which skews male.

As others have said, it's also possible that the physical qualities that are attractive in men are considered attractive specifically because they correlate with other qualities. For all we know, jawline and spatial reasoning share a gene somewhere. Human pattern recognition is far better than we give it credit for.

Edit: And now for a completely different angle. Girls are significantly more social than boys. Attractive girls are at the tip of the social hierarchy and, as such, are generally much more invested in it. If "remote learning" also means social isolation, it would be easy to believe that the students most likely to suffer mentally would be the social butterflies. The loner in the library sees no change, but Becky's world is crashing down. Basically, it's an interesting point of data (if true) but drawing any conclusions from it is impossible. Especially not, "muh discrimination!." Focusing solely on instructor interaction is a huge failing of this report.

"Technically that's a civil marriage, not a REAL marriage in the eyes of God."

It would be so easy to say, "but we're talking about legalization. That only applies to civil marriage. Men do not get to define what real marriage is in the eyes of God anyway."

But taking that point in their favor is unthinkable because anything less than forcing complete equivalence on your is seen as a loss. To take that point, it'd have to be someone actually arguing towards similar legal treatment and just using it as a preface to defile the religious union.

Even though it was race hustling, I still get a chuckle out of one of the Onion's old pieces: "Judge rules white teen who stabbed her classmate to death will face the jury as a 300-pound black man."

The ideal target of government-facilitated suicide is people who have paid into NHS their whole lives without asking for much back and are about to start drawing off it. Those are older Brits and they're White because the "enrichment" has been been young economic migrants, not the elderly.

Men only make up 80.9% of violent crime because of socio-economic factors. If they weren't oppressed by capitalism, they would commit fewer violent crimes than women /s

In most cases you don't need to. Can't find it but there is a meme that nails it. Every panel is some "diverse" woke person explaining the fluff they "do" at the company. The last panel is the one remaining guy whose job is, "working on the product."

I can almost guarantee that in places like Twitter, 5% of the employees were doing all the actual work and they were generally the same people who were doing the work before the DEI fad and vanity hiring sprees.

Creative companies are harder. They actually ran out the people who made them good. If you're the head writer, you can't just quietly chug along in the background without being noticed. So they actively gun for you instead of letting you keep the ship afloat while they play around.

$8.91 Billion USD. Around 2% of his net worth.

I'd love it if he just embraced the turn-around investor role. A one-man private equity firm with the world's easy roadmap to profitability, "fire the retards and roll back your products to 2015 or earlier." He'd make all his money back and could just keep going.

Embargo the UK already. Other than "financial and business services" their exports are a joke and most of those are only "in the UK" on paper anyway. They are more trouble than they are worth and should be removed from international trade.

The "solar fluid" thing was interesting. You'd think we'd have heard more about it. Guess it doesn't provide the level of government control that electrification does so they don't have a real reason to push it.

I will never understand why all of them seem to think the world is filled with men who both:

  1. Are willing to commit violent rape
  2. Are very respectful of the sanctity of bathroom signs

It's up there with thinking murders care about gun laws.

Eva and... Ghost in the Shell, Golden Boy, Gunsmith Cats, and El-Hazard.

You've got a good point, but that's a rough season to use as an example.

Then again, Winter 1996 gave us MD Geist 2: Death Force, so maybe it's not the worst example after all.

Hahaha. You think they spend the money on maintenance. The Mozilla Foundation funnels Google's money into far left causes while keeping up a pretense of there being a Chrome competitor. They can't collapse soon enough.

Movement Complexities and Geographic Issues
We recognize that the global majority are disproportionately impacted by disparities in technological developments and power. We seek to align with existing movements using a geography-focused commitment to contextualize our grantmaking in a relevant, intersectional and impactful way.

Reframed Community Justice
Our work is framed through a commitment to community justice, which includes where and how inequality manifests globally and how different issues intersect in specific communities. This encompasses, but is not limited to, racial justice, decolonization, indigenous justice, economic justice, anti-caste movements and gender justice and recognizes the complex history of migrations, colonialism, economic colonization and systems of power.

Intersectionality
Intersectionality as a lens and method that is dynamic, evolving, internal and external facing, that recognizes different identities and realities, acknowledges the way those are interconnected, and the ways in which power impacts those interactions, or power relates to those interconnections.
