I kind of love how we sync users are sort of like the OT Israelites wandering the desert and losing faith, then you periodically pop up and are like, "bros... relax. I was just gone a couple weeks and y'all lost your goddamn minds"

So the article (from 2 presidential administration's ago) details someone who wouldn't accept male Indian interns due to the country's reputation. It does nothing to debunk the argument that rape is not an endemic problem in India, just that some shithead German professor threw the baby out with the bathwater. Okay, fine. We can get #NotAllIndians trending even tho I'm pointing out that it's a cultural issue, not a race thing like you keep trying to shoehorn into this discussion.

By your arguments you're saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality? Cool. That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these "victims" were probably asking for it. Got it

Anyhow, I'm also not going to travel to the horn of Africa, chunks of the middle east, North Korea, Belarus or Gary Indiana for that matter. I'm just too closed minded I guess.

No. I'm pretty ACAB across the board.

Every "-ism" you listed isn't solely the dominion of white folks. You're sort of falling into the same mindset you're accusing me of possessing by calling me out for saying India has a problem. The US also has a problem. Both suck and neither excuses the other, but I have firsthand accounts from femme friends who have had sketchy encounters in South Asia. As someone who is not white and has a non binary partner, you are free to eat the entirety of my brown ass

Namaste

Here's the thing tho: it's been "vote blue to save democracy" but the DNC is just as fucked up just without the outwardly fascist leanings. No one wants to vote for Biden, they just want to vote against Trump. It's lose/lose and the most marginalized of us are going to get savagely fucked or slightly less fucked depending who's voted in.

There's no viable candidate who doesn't want to give Isreal carte blanche to commit genocide with US backing, no one wants to address money in politics... the fucking economy is a mess for the rank and file, non owning class majority of us. If these very real issues are mentioned, suddenly it's progressives' fault the Trump with be president. Fuck all that. Explain why I'm supposed to be enthusiastic?

I get voting for harm reduction and by virtue of the electoral college, my presidential vote won't matter in my state (my state has been "safe democratic" for the last half century) but when I cast my vote I will be holding my nose

Obviously the ideal number is zero and the US certainly has its share of problems, but this is reported rapes. I'm not going to paint myself as any sort of authority on the subject, but I've read enough stories where Indian law enforcement was complicit or unconcerned. I'd bet the actual numbers are a lot higher

Ahh, the Ricky Henderson method. I like it

Props for letting it ride and not editing

Okay. Everyone is a they/them. No binary gender for anyone. Hedge your bets and play it right down the middle.

Problem solved

I mean... you can upstream everything. I work for a place that sells outdoor sports gear. Pretty benign unless you do a deep dive into supply chains and the like.

For the record, I did work at a place the built parts for cruise missiles. It sucked. I quit

If the poor assholes working get surge wages during the rush I'll go along with it

I'm just going to deadname Twitter and ask why some of you assholes are still on there

The head guy self published something like a dozen AI generated books that he's selling on Amazon too

More like brokebacks

Neither is Trump. He just happened to strike a nerve with his asshole following.

She split with her husband, ie the guy who exposed himself to her in a bowling alley when she was a minor.

Also the guy she fucked around with is a registered Democrat who owns a bar that does drag shows.

I'm not making any of this up

Muricans might only speak one language, but they're actually really good at it.

The sad part is that this often is not true

Joke's on me. I'm the asshole who took Latin.

Semper ubi sub ubi

That said, my kiddo is going to a Spanish immersion school

It puts the genocide on its skin or else it gets the Trump again

Oh. Now the military gives a shit about pollution

I think you missed the point, homie
