Sorry to further bum but this article says his dog was lingering around the neighbors house after the kidnapping so it's suspected the neighbor killed the dog. It was found poisoned in front of their house.

This article says the only reason the kidnapper's family member snitched was because of an inheritance dispute.

"Careers in Combat" by Parquet Courts is a good song about this

I was using plausible for one of my projects and had a good experience.

I like "I'll bet he's nice". The synths are really interesting on the album. Can't say it's something I want to listen to all the time though. I appreciate Brian Wilson.

I assume there's a history of this kind of thing somewhere before right? Or did these guys just happen to watch the latest season of Fargo

Nice. I usually like this person's videos

I've never heard of trophy eyes before, but unless you're a big act most of these bands take home less than say, a white collar job. And odds seem good they'll get sued too. So I'm not surprised they're not throwing cash around

Oof. That's a shitty time for everybody.

This article appears to be from February 2024. I tried googling to see what's the latest news related to the ICJ, I see that Egypt wants to join South Africa's case against Israel: https://www.commondreams.org/news/egypt-icj-israel

Boooooo to this post

Ah you're right, I've seen the format before but didn't pick up that's what you were going for.

First just want to reinforce I'm only commenting in the spirit of "how could this thought be propagated more effectively" and hope that comes across.

But no, I think I understood the general premise. The image you're posting is referring to the trend of women being given a hypothetical situation where they can choose to encounter a bear or a man in the woods, right? And some men are angry that any woman would choose a bear over a man.

I took the image you posted to be an attempt to convey that it's not unreasonable for women to do so, and also introduce people to the thought that patriarchy is harmful to both men and women. What about something like this image?

I tried to work in:

• A reference to the man/bear debate
• That men feel justified in telling women their opinion about it is wrong
• That men are harmed by patriarchy
• And at the same time take masculinity as their identity and view any systemic criticism as a personal attack
• A joke about how men's own reactions to the original thought experiment can be a good illustration why women choose the bear

Also I have to say one thing that was effective about the original post is at least for me I looked up Bell Hooks and read a little. The image I made doesn't work in a reference to her, not sure how to do that effectively. I also think there could easily be other memes dedicated to illustrating how men are harmed by the patriarchy. It's a complicated subject so showing it clearly would be a service.

The image you posted has a good sentiment, and I don't think it's effective as a meme itself. What will make it stick in the viewer's mind? To me it doesn't have a joke and doesn't make enough sense to convey a new insight.

You're right, feminism is for everyone. How does the introduction of Bell Hooks explain that or prove it to the reader? Who is the new character in the bottom right corner? Their instant agreement with Bell doesn't make sense given the preceding text.

I generally agree with your point, that said, in the analogy you gave, the flavor would come from the posts, not the users. We don't know what the breakdown is between "active users" who create more posts and comments and those who are more like active readers.

I'm just assuming the gallows were added later

I think I had one treatment as an adult. But a dental hygienist recommended rinsing every night with the purple Listerine that has fluoride in it, which... hasn't hurt? I think it's doing the trick and I haven't had more cavities since, but of course couldn't say for sure if that's why.

Yeah, I would much prefer if someone framed it that way than "you have decay, let's schedule an appointment for a filling"

Also, wish I had a link to the article, but I was reading about how whether you "have" a cavity depends on your dentist's interpretation of the x-rays and their philosophy about treatment. Some dentists will see a light area and say "let's fill that before it gets worse" and others will note it and see how things develop. It was actually pretty alarming because sounds like professional standards for dentistry are looser than some other areas of medicine, and the description rang true for some of the dentists I've seen.

I grew up in a house with well water, no fluoride. I've had a million cavities, and my dentist suggested that was a contributing factor, although certainly diet and genetics are too.
