It's the same reason men want their sons to play sports and do manly things. Most of the dads pushing the patriarchal agenda aren't doing it out of some hyper masculine superego, they just want their kids to fit in. The really sad part is that it's because they know what it's like to not fit in. They perpetuate the trauma because they were traumatized.

Maybe we should stop routine elective cosmetic penis surgery on infants?

apt is for like when you want to, and apt get is the other way to get the apt. And then if it doesn't, sudo apt will, or then sudo apt get. Like if you're just doing an apt, and then you also need to apt get, you can.

Looking wistfully behind me at the "brink" of crisis

I cannot express how much I want this movie to be unconditionally good.

Much more accurate than guessing is not a strong endorsement.

They are, for better or worse. Kids learn to be people from the people around them. The only situation where your parents aren't role models is when they aren't around you, and that's a sort of role model in its own way.

Kids also learn from their peers, their mentors, their heroes, etc, so it's not like kids of shitty people are completely fucked.

Yes, Democrats ruined his reputation. Democrats and historians. Mostly historians, and people who aren't shitty bigots. Historians, people who aren't shitty bigots, and yes Democrats have ruined the once pristine reputation of the murderous slaver who was credited with discovering a territory full of people. Why would the Democrats do this.

Watching the Brak Show feels like smoking weed to me, but I'm completely sober. Except for when I'm high.

While you are correct, the only people using "woke" anymore are using it as an insult, meaning "not a bigot like me."

Who is going to hold them accountable?

It's hard to put yourself in the headspace of someone who believed in Donald Trump, and it's always surprising what each person's "last straw" was. Like, now that he hurt my business with tariffs, he's suddenly a horrible person. As though he wasn't a felon, a rapist, a bigot, a racist, a misogynist, a pedophile, a despot, an incestuous, traitorous, egomaniacal, lecherous, kleptocratic, lying sack of shit yesterday, but today he's gone too far.

Just checked for local restaurants, and sure enough there's a few in my area. I haven't eaten at any of them, but now I know not to.

I ask for summaries and examples for things I understand well but struggle to explain. Sometimes it's very helpful, and sometimes it's just deranged nonsense.

That's why I'm less likely to ask it to about something I don't already know. How would I know if the answer is accurate or coherent? At least with something like Wikipedia, I can track down a source and look for foundational truth, even if it is hidden under layers of bias.

If the admins won't address bigotry, then yeah I get that. It was also a transparent process with a clear cause and effect. I don't know why I was banned from some circlejerk community, but I can only assume it's some arbitrary nonsense from a tripping moderator.

My kids used to shout "Swiper No Swiping" at the tv.

Fair point, but kale is delicious if you drizzle with olive oil and a bit of garlic, and then bake it at low heat for like 30 minutes.

No of course not.

As hard as this will hit several industries, it's also not a terrible thing for climate change if we stop importing seasonal vegetables from warmer climates. If tomatoes aren't ripe in your region, maybe you just don't get to have tomatoes for a while. The idea that you can have anything anytime requires a fuckton of transportation pollution and waste, and the tomatoes taste worse because they are designed to look pretty

The trade war is stupid and we're all going to get fucked by conservative dipshits, but there might be a few silver linings.
