She’s more obsessed with lasers than the RCA labs were

“Happy 2am FEMA discussion!”

Yeah, that’s what I want. 3 days off in a row is nice, but not having to work 3 days in a row sounds amazing

I’ll say this, if trump had won I don’t know a democratic governor who would consider not taking a call from pence after a national disaster. Every governor pulling this needs recalled

No Israel is. It’s a nation state not an ethnicity/religion. Israel attempts to conflate the two, but the rabbis marching against it and the long Jewish tradition of arguing over Zionism say otherwise.

I really hope that at some point male victims of sexual assault will work to create a movement of support. It’s not ok that y’all get told to man up, and it’s not ok that y’all are often used as a way to shut down discussions of sexual violence against women.

As a modern feminist I think that’s one of the differences between the third and fourth waves. The third wave (and early second wave) had a strong emphasis on “feminism is for everyone” and was much more “theory based” if that makes sense. The fourth wave is generally understood to be defined by the era of mass social media. It’s been hardened by things like gamergate, the me too movement, and the rabid opposition to the third wave by reactionary men refusing to accept that it was the most pro man wave feminism saw. I don’t think it’s tactically wise or theoretically sound, but I get and feel the anger. That said I’m generally more pro third wave as a whole, including thinking bell hooks really understood how patriarchy negatively impacts men.

But yeah, modern feminist culture is jaded and angry, and for good reason. And I do agree that a men’s movement to deal with y’all’s issues would be incredibly helpful so long as you’re able to keep the reactionary voices out of it. Because from this woman’s perspective, a lot of men really need to develop friendships based on mutual care and understanding. Women can’t fix the malaise men are currently showing, and reactionaries can only make it worse.

Oh no, yeah I’d rather not watch a man insult queer and Jewish people and get mad when I don’t find his bigotry funny.

Is he blaming the Jews now? Sigh, I’m getting really sick and tired of this antisemitism bullshit

Oh it’s simple. They seem to be thinking the question is: Jews? And not: Genocide? From that perspective they’ve learned, they just learned a good lesson but not the most important lesson

It’s definitely a bad way to handle the constitution though. Not saying it’s not common, but the repeal of the 18th amendment is just as much a part of the constitution as the right to bear arms and the duties of the legislature

I’m an American ex Christian and yeah it’s definitely both

Yeah that’s positive christianity and it was an actual thing.

Religion is the opiate of the masses and the CCP insists on being the only dealer around

I’d rather not enact the highest stakes ship of Theseus

As an American: because gas has to compete. You can’t ask to go to the cheap hospital, they don’t even usually tell you the price before administering medicine. So hospitals charge what they’d like and that’s that. Gas prices are highly competitive and we’re one of the world’s primary oil producers and refiners. Additionally the Biden administration has been using our strategic oil reserves to stabilize gas prices.

Not when no airplanes use coal or renewables. And we can and should do both. We’re in crunch time.
