And he encouraged others to do so. It is almost like this is a bigger issue for women or girls for some reason. I’m probably sexist for noticing.

Also fun: calling in and you are told your healthcare was canceled, you ask why only to be told that is confidential. Good times.

Joking about how right wing cis transphobic women are „actually“ just men in drag

FTFY

People become more tribal under scarcity conditions and the scarcity is largely artificial.

The United States has negotiated “Pax Silica” so that it doesn’t need Taiwan for chips…

I guess they would just kidnap, I mean “capture”, the president of Taiwan to be charged in their courts. No need to invade, it’s just “law enforcement” without a warrant like what Trump is doing now.

She will say this is the war to end all wars or some BS like that. Words mean nothing to these people.

Low key yes. So many Americans have this “well it doesn’t affect me” attitude.

Sometimes the pictures are for your doctor.

Can bet on large swaths of people dieing but where’s the bet that Trump will be assassinated? Don’t they want an accurate forecast of that as well?

Teflon Don, like Epstein, collected pictures of powerful people doing “embarrassing” things. Unlike Epstein he didn’t use a private island, he used hotels that catered to people with power.

And pax silica will lessen the geopolitical fallout by ensuring there is fab redundancy outside of Taiwan.

It’s what happens when you are surrounded by yes men. Also they can never experience genuine love without wondering if the person is just there for their money.

It’s not an either or, many feminists champion other issues.

It’s not even profitable though… At this point it seems it is just about control, like they would rather have a money pit then let independent workers, ie creatives, have any profit.

I do wonder if they had a referendum whether this war would have been avoided. Maybe I’m just being idealistic but even if Crimea had voted to stay with Ukraine then that would have at least gone a long way to show it isn’t simply the will of the hegemon. Or if Crimea had voted to go independent then the international community could create a new security agreement.

Yes, that is good of China to not act like the USA. Which is why it is concerning when they start to act like a more competent version of the USA.

I wasn’t the one who made that claim of Xi, I was the one who showed up with receipts and said you would have to read between the lines to arrive at a similar conclusion: that Xi & the party will use force if necessary to achieve the goal of reunification. Do you not think that is more relevant?

Glad you specified pre-2022, as in before the invasion that displaced many residents; yeah, I would support any region to hold referendums on the matter of self-determination. I think Ukraine was wrong to keep their people from voting on the matter, if they had issues with the process then they should have worked towards consensus on the matter of having a legitimate referendums.
