Those are all made up. "In matters of taste" wasn't claimed to be part of that phrase until extremely recently. The earliest record of the "original" meaning of "blood is thicker than water" was in 1994, while the supposedly "shortened" version can be traced back to the twelfth century. You can't believe every tiktok or meme claiming something just because you like what it says.
It wasn't so much a break up as a "we've been touring for 40 years and we're old and tired and want to spend time with our families and don't want to do this most of the year anymore."
It's cultural retconning. What was normal, trendy fashion at the time has since been associated with counter culture LSD use. Sixty years from now references to skibidi and 6-7 will be considered sure signs of chronically online basement dwellers when it's actually just every single person in a given age bracket.
Conservatives have/are passing laws that require people to use the bathroom of their assigned at birth gender. Which would result in trans men using the women's restroom and trans women using the men's restroom. Because they're afraid a cis straight man will put on a dress and rape a little girl in the women's restroom. It's the same as saying black people need separate restrooms or a white person might put on black face and rape someone in the bathroom.
More Palestinian children have been killed in this conflict than in all other military conflicts on the entire planet in the last ten years combined.
Yeah, that's pretty damn close. We drive that far, visit relatives, and drive back in the same day at least a couple of times a month. I've lived in towns where that was the minimum distance to take a date to the movies. Philly to DC only seems like a large distance because of traffic. They're actually pretty close to each other.
For someone used to saying inflammatory things and getting finger wags and civil, rational arguments in response, suddenly facing the ultra violent right can be very scary. If you aren't used to standard right wing violence being aimed against you, getting thousands of emails, letters, and phone calls graphically describing how they will mutilate, torture, rape, and kill you and your children is terrifying. People on the left are used to violence from the right so it is just everyday for them.
During law school I considered being a law librarian, so I called a bunch of them. They all advised me not to, because it was a constant battle to find hidden books and reshelve them. Anytime a specific volume was necessary for an essay or exam students would hide it after they got what they needed so other students would fail, which would increase their class rank. One of the things that started me down noping out of the field completely.
Unfortunately, a lot of people will take a cop saying something happened as proof beyond a reasonable doubt. If you can't prove the cop is lying, then you're guilty. And that's ignoring having to sit in jail for months or years waiting for trial if you can't afford bail.
Because you have to pick a year and it's always going to be arbitrary. I'm pretty sure there weren't several hundred shooters that were transgender in 2017 they're trying to exclude.
This also cuts to the "gender" issue. There's an entire genre of films about how two people of the same gender are so different it's hilarious when they're out together. There's currently a sequel to a remake of a remake of a movie about two women that have to literally swap bodies to be able to empathize with each other.
Vs it's southern neighbor that cut funding for establishing prairies and wetlands for the express purpose of mitigating flooding and fertilizer runoff. And now there are zero safe to swim bodies of water in the southern 75% of the state.
Ask the natives how much USA's promises have been worth. Just like you can't be a millionaire without fucking a bunch of people over and having morals, you can't be a superpower without fucking a bunch of people over and having no morals.
There was never a time when non-disruptive protests actually achieved meaningful results.
I still hear people from Minnesota saying that Minneapolis was "burned to the ground" 5 years ago. People that have been to Minneapolis many times since then and saw with their own eyes that it is still a thriving metropolis with zero burned out neighborhoods. They will literally believe right wing media over their own eyes, every time. If someone on Twitter said their wife was killed they'd wonder who the stranger in bed with them was.
What's scarier: turn your history off and see the horrible bullshit the algorithm provides blind. Click a link of a video about corrupt cops getting convicted and almost all the recommended videos are straight copaganda about how wonderful and heroic they are. Watch a video about protests and almost all the recommended videos are about how liberals are burning down cities and trump is a hero saving us all.
I'm not sure what your problem is with what she did. People knew that there was segregation and Jim Crow laws and were pleasantly ignoring it until a bunch of people put their lives on the line in symbolic and performative gestures loudly enough and often enough that enough people started to pay attention. It takes continuous and repeated moments. One drop of water sliding down a rock does nothing a bunch of them causes the grand canyon.
MLK's plan in Selma was to provoke a response. No one at that match expected the government to say "ok, fine, I guess you showed up so black people have equal rights now." They knew they'd be between and firehosed and be violently attacked by dogs and police, that was the entire fucking point. And cumulatively, all those attacks at all those marches led to a public outcry for change. You're saying Russ Parks was a self serving bitch because she didn't expect all Jim Crow laws to be repealed.
Israel stopping a small boat with a free creates of food is Israel announcing to the world that they are fully intent on genocide. There's zero military reason to stop them, literally the only thing they stopped was a few children not starving to death. And Israel, in full international view, said yes, we will arrest you in order to ensure those few children you might have saved will for horrific, gruesome deaths.
So they did exactly what they set out to do, amplify to the world that Israel was purposefully stopping what they know are merely aid and survival ships and preventing them from delivering food and water, no matter how small they might be.Israel commandeering and arresting people bringing a few crates of food to starving children is absolutely atrocious and insane. As you said, everyone knew with plenty of advanced notice what it was, and they still fucking did it.
Complete guess: make it look alien or mysterious and people will want to figure it out.
Just like parents worship infants and toddlers.
When did she say, imply, or even slightly hint at thinking everybody is a narcissist? Or even that every man is? Your comment is completely irrelevant. If someone says they are sick of carjackers and thieves, you'd never in a billion years think "if you think everybody is a thief then you must be a thief."
Holy shit, you think people stealing wallets ranks 29th in the list of global problems that general society should be concerned about. There are millions of things in the world that are much more drastic and important than someone's wallet getting stolen, not 28.All misogyny taken together is a much bigger global issue than all wallet thefts taken together. If you want to single out this one example against everything, then you having your life savings stolen amounts to squat globally.
Fluoride is literally better than brushing. Kids that did a daily fluoride rinse and didn't brush at all had fewer cavities than kids that brushed twice a day with non-fluoridated toothpaste. Brushing prevents cavities by spreading fluoride on your teeth more than by removing food particles. That's why you shouldn't rinse your mouth after brushing, you want the fluoridated toothpaste to stay on your teeth for a while.
A possible addition, he might have been in an air conditioned room and went outside and sat down before they adjusted to the heat.
If I stole your wallet, there would be hundreds of millions of things that everyone else should be mad about before that. Cops should be more concerned with violent crimes. Courts should be more concerned with putting away murderers and rapists. There are probably a lot of things you care more about and would be more concerned about than your wallet getting stolen. So we should all just ignore and be fine with people stealing wallets, because it's not the worst thing that could happen.
Sure we have. Keeping genetic variation that can sometimes be a "weakness" means greater survivability in changing environments or scenarios. Keeping those alive who wouldn't survive "in nature" is a human drive because it was evolutionarily advantageous. Caring for others isn't thwarting evolution, it's actively participating in it.
We all will like to think of 4chan trolls as losers in their parents basement. But in the past 20 years they've gotten degrees and gone to work. One of them is the vice fucking president. The shit heels that ruined the Internet are now voting. Bastards raised on misogyny and racist shit posting are working 9-5 beside you and voting for asshats for a laugh, because that's all they've ever done.
You've got it a bit backwards there. It wasn't tricking the media into saying the OK hand gesture was a racist signal. It was using the OK hand gesture as a racist signal and then pretending it was a joke. It was the equivalent of someone saying something racist to see if it lands and claiming it was just a joke when it doesn't. If a bunch of racists use a symbol to say they are racists then they are racists, regardless of claiming it's a joke.
