I hope your day was more than adequate 🙂

because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects

That’s some A+ victim blaming right there. E. Jean Carroll didn’t do shit

Doesn’t really matter if they weren’t targeted if they still ended up dead.

Care to share a link to the video? A way of mapping the world without GPS sounds interesting

My school had a kid build a computer for the science fair, and our science teacher was like “yeah, you basically just put together an expensive lego set.” and gave him an “adequate” ribbon

Was going through links on a wholesome subreddit the other day, looking to calm myself down, and happened upon a video of a young teenage girl in an audiologists office getting her cochlear implants turned on. She was emotional, and happy crying, as her mom filmed her. But it just seemed kind of wrong to share? Like, this is a private moment for you and your family, and you can see the moment the girl realizes she’s being recorded, and how she then immediately goes to wipe tears/cover her face.

I’ve come to revel in the idea of not recording precious moments, just because I don’t want to cheapen them with the inclusion of a smartphone, a screen to separate myself from life happening on the other side. I take a similar approach to good deeds. Do something good, or kind for someone, and then don’t tell a soul. Keep it with you, for you, only. Hoard those moments like a dragon, and whenever you are having a crisis of faith, where you’re unsure as to your own worth, remind yourself of those times you did something kind for no other reason than it was the right thing to do.

It’s not they filming that’s the problem, it’s posting a video of them being vulnerable on social media for everyone to see, and possibly be used against them in the future. Would you be appreciative if the next time you ugly cried, someone took a video of you doing so, adding their commentary, and then posted it for the world to see?

That’s a nice thing your mom did, and your tattoo is a great reminder that however bad we’re feeling in the moment, that “this too, shall pass.”

Ok.

I never defended Biden, I said that it was disingenuous of you to lump all Democrats together with republicans like they’re on the same side of the issue.

And looks like he has since evolved his stance on the issue, and is actively trying to help student loan borrowers. Which is 1000x more than what republicans would ever do.

That’s a blatant lie. It was written by Chuck Grassley and cosponsored by 10 other republicans, and two democrats (Ben Nelson-NE and Thomas Carper-DE)

I get what you’re saying but let’s not forget this important aspect:

The Republican-led bill tightened the bankruptcy code, unleashing a huge giveaway to lenders at the expense of indebted student borrowers. At the time it faced vociferous opposition from 25 Democrats in the US Senate.

But it passed anyway, with 18 Democratic senators breaking ranks and casting their vote in favor of the bill.

republican bill, that was opposed vociferously by a majority of democrats. The corporatists were the 18 that broke ranks to vote for it, but let’s not lump in all Democrats. Democrats are still the better option by every measure.

former U.S. President Ronald Reagan had pushed for the current student loan system in order to make it more difficult for working-class Americans to attend university as a backlash to campus protests in the 1960s and 70s.

Americas Margret Thatcher. i.e. just, the worst person.

What’s the tattoo? I’m glad you were able to yeet that fucker out of ya 😅

Nobody but republicans are voting for genocide. Everyone with a conscious and brain are voting for the lesser of two evils because that’s the only choice we have. You’re inflammatory BS does nothing but make you seem more fringe, less thoughtful, and therefore easier to ignore.

Why does it need to be equal to population?

Because I was responding to the previous commenter that cited specifically those numbers.

I get what you’re saying, that other cultures are not as tolerant, and when said culture pops up in a previously tolerant area, it can cause tensions. To that I’d say that we have a system of government enforcing laws in a uniform manner across a region precisely because not everyone agrees uniformly. You can’t strip away the freedom to be wrong, you can only enforce rules that support equity, safety, and inclusion, and do so especially within local populations that seem to eschew it.

But also, not all migrants are intolerant. So assuming that they 1. are, and 2. will stay that way, is a xenophobic dog whistle.

I’m in this comic and I don’t like it!

Those moments of clarity, when your attitude towards some thing that was previously an overbearing negative force on your life suddenly abates… When the true meaning of life feels so firmly within your grasp, seems so straightforward and simple that the whole world looks less dark in the glow of your revelation. You know what’s important, and for the briefest of moments, everything else slips away into obscurity allowing you to breathe like there’s never been tightness in your chest, or stress in your shoulders.

But then you have to go to work, or the trashcan gets flipped over, or it’s time for dinner and you’re out of that thing you need and someone says something mean, and someone cuts you off in traffic and then… you’re back in your normal routine. Back to taking something, drinking something, smoking something, watching something, playing something, doing something to alleviate the stress from all the things you don’t want to do but have to. And with all the pockets we recede into to get away from the stressful things, we forget we’re also hiding from all the other things. Those things you previously determined were the true source of joy and fulfillment in life…

But it’s too hard to stay in the moment and reflect and maintain positive relationships with others and volunteer and pursue hobbies and passions so you sit down and find something to watch while you eat.

It’s hard to be mindful, so you gotta practice everyday!

are European countries regularly taking in migrant populations equal to their countries population?

my bong has a bunch of crevices/nooks that get gunked up with resin n’ such. Put in some salt, a healthy splash of alcohol, and shake it up! you’ll be surprised how much that gets.

Sounds like an awful slippery slope 🙄

Well good thing we’re not taking in 330 million immigrants all at once then, so this will never be a problem.
