As a parent unless you’re wildly abusive your kid absolutely wants to play with you and spend so much time with you, especially very young kids. Most parents barely talk to their kids much less play with them
The pipeline from “crunchy to conspiracy” is very real. There always been some conspiracy on the left and far left of course don’t get me wrong but now with social media, algorithms, troll farms etc. those who are predisposed to conspiratorial thinking are going over the cliff. It was simply a matter of finding which topics they could exploit, like vaccines which originally mainly had those on the left being against them. You can still be very left while believing and supporting right wing ideas and policy because it has been presented to you in a way you find palatable and appealing and of course gives you plausible deniability that it’s actually some how not right wing allowing both your ego and identity to survive the shift.
A lot of far left supporters actually support some wildly oppressive, authoritarian and ableist ideas
It’s both human nature and the nature of protest. There’s a set theme or target and you rally around in. Protests aren’t actually places for nuisanced conversations about the specificities of who, what and where the problem is, they are ground swells to inspire, uplift and fight for change, it’s explicitly a “big picture” event, it’s not a discussion forum
Anyone else tear up or cry a little looking at these or am I just a big squishy baby? I have so many feelings looking at these, inspired, scared, even sometimes amused even if that’s followed immediacy disgust like the hotdog man photo, so many more feelings, feeling pretty proud of us too.
Yeah this “scholar” is just every millennial who was told to sit down at stfu by every adult in our lives even now that we’re the adults it hasn’t changed
I bought a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher from a friend (lots of high end brands will give you a “free” dishwasher with purchase of bigger appliances) for $400 and I’ve been thrilled with it A lot of people sell their free dishwasher cheap
No he didn’t? I literally just read the short interview he gave. The plane had already crashed, there was a hole he was able to open up with his legs and get through. There was no leaping and the plane wasn’t actively crashing, it was 100% crashed when he opened his eyes, realized he wasn’t dead and managed to wriggle out
I think lots of countries enforce things like animal welfare but animals are property, they don’t have “rights” you’re just required to not abuse them, and often the definition of “not abusive” is still pretty abusive/negligent
Which is complete bullshit, a long standing tenant of the Mormon faith was to “follow the laws of the land” but once we started actually making some social progress they started forgetting that more and more and more.
I helped start a subreddit that was like “thatweirdbathroomdream” or something, I don’t remember it was easily a decade ago explicitly for people to talk about their weird bathroom dreams! Apparently it’s a typically American dream (so is losing your teeth but cutting your hair/hair falling out is more universal) and typically includes unusual open spaces, lack of privacy, unusual lighting, they typically also are clean like this or filthy, or at least the toilet you interact with could be filthy. I find collective cultural dreams to be SO fascinating
Unfortunately it was too niche and I’m assuming has since died
