I get the sentiment and it's cool you put some time into this. That said I think it looks go much like him leading the protesters. The composition isn't ideal for the message, you know.

Not want to be an asshole, it's just what seemed off to me, becuae when I saw this in my feed it looked like a very much pro trump image on first glance.

Belief in magic is pretty even between the genders and pretty common

I was interested and looked up some studies. There is a gender gap in spiritual believe and women tend to be more spiritual, including believing in magic. So OPs statement in that regards holds.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying everything that op wrote is correct or that I agree, but the starting point they used, that women tend to belive in magical stuff more often, seems to be true.

I have to admit thag I just never had problems, so I just use what ever I can get. I use vegan soaps, if that helps, but I can't compare them to non vegan ones.

I don't know where you are located, but here we have dedicated body and shampoo soap bars. They are quite a bit nicer to akin than using normal soap. That's all the advice I have to offer unfortunately :)

I have been using solid bodysoap and shampoo now for some years and it has likley saved a solid amount of plastic waste and is super easy.

World's crulest animal puts other animals in captivity and then calls them dumb for showing their natural behaviour in a completely alien envirment. More at 11.

"Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore," Musk wrote in the all-staff email. "This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade."

This is so fucking cringy.

Didn't the right also move massively towards the far right nazi shit? I mean, I see how the left has moved toward beeing more progressive, but the right has shifted their positions enormously.

So because the majority of voters voted Republican the parents who lost children deserve no empathy from you, even if you don't knwo how they voted.

This is a shit take. Everybody who lost a child deserves empathy, period.

"Minorities" are actually dangerously close to becoming the majority in most White/first world nations.

That kind of lies.

At the time of the 2021/22 Census, 16% of people in the UK had been born abroad – a total of around 10.7 million migrants. Although the foreign-born population has increased further between 2021 and 2024, no reliable data are available for later years.

But they are giving the context in which he says it.

The story came about as he was discussing his uneasiness for looking at blood, which prompted him to recall the incident.

And I wouldn't call it cherry picking if an article that says: Here is a bad thing Trump said in an old interview is quoting, well, said bad thing. In Context.

I mean, you are right about what they did. He said a lot of stuff and they represent the things that make him look bad. Doesn't change that he said them tough.

I was saying, 'Get that blood cleaned up! It's disgusting!' The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say is he OK.

It's just not my thing

He paid 44 billion for twitter. He could pay the legal fees of every American for a year and it would hardly dent his wealth. It's obscene how much money one person can have.

I play with Mods, unfortunately. It's the one thing keeping me back atm.

The woo doctor says there's fairies in the garden and unicorns in the forest, and never shows them to me. The biologist says there's birds the size of your thumb that flap their wings so fast they become a buzzy blur, and there's huge winged creatures that fly through the ocean called "Manta rays." He shows me pictures and specimens of both.

This sounds so much like a writing prompt.

I know we don't do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.

I don't agree with either of those points, but it's silly to pretend they are the same.

Yep, it's just the new talking point from their supreme leader. It was "Sleepy Biden" before, now it's "opportunistic race swapping Harris" (he is better with stupid names so he might come up with something more catchy, but that is the general direction).

They will gobble it up like all the shit they parrot all the time.

I kind of see where you are coming from, but doesn't it make a difference WHY somebody is offended?

If I, for eclxsmple, use the N-Word, the offence this rightfully causes is rooted in it being used to speak about slaves in the past. I can understand that. I understand why this could hurt black peoples feeling. So I don't use it.

The root of offence on the Paris case seemes to be that some Christian Fundamentalist (wrongly) think that Drag-People imitated the last Supper. Their offence is based in them hating Drags. That is nothing I can emphatize with. So I don't see their offence beeing justified, since It is rooted in hate.

Would they be offended if white males immitated the last supper during the ceremony? Possible, and if so then I'd be interested to hear on what basis, since the scene has been mimiced in pop culture a lot without it causing any offence (on a level that would have made it noticeable to me).

Ao that's the difference. I don't blindly stop to do things the left labels as offensive. But If I understand how and why it causes people harm using phrases or doing things then I might change my behaviour on that base. Not because "the left says so" but because I can emphatize and understand the point. In this case I can do neither.

Ego.

You can cook em in hot water to losen the hair. It's called scalding.

Well, cats and dogs are quite nutritious too, I suppose, so this realy goes for most pets.
