Nope. If you watched the yelper episode of South Park, specifically the scenes where the yelpers are all gathered together talking over each other, it shows exactly how these people see the world.

I had to switch to Jerboa because Connect kept glitching out on a bunch of posts where it would load the image for a second, then just give a blank screen. So you'd need to either keep clicking out and reloading to hope it worked, or load externally in a browser.

Nah, the cat wore it better

That's kinda fair, but only if not looking at context. Unions represent the will/votes of the workers, and in the past women's rights were culturally looked down on. In the present day equality is a more widespread cultural view so unions now would reflect that, at least in areas that do. So essentially unions are only as good as the current majority ethics of the workers within them.

Pinkerton are sadly still modern day stuff.

In around 1946 it was changed from the word for man-bed to homosexual. This is due to translation from Greek to the various different languages, including English over the years. Apparently the original greek word used was arsenokoitai which wasn't the word for homosexual just meaning man-bed having many meanings such as sexual perverts, which if he meant explicitly homosexual he would have used paiderasste.

Except the anti-gay part is a 70 year old (seemingly deliberate) misinterpretation of a line saying a man shouldn't lay with a boy. Which was about not being a pedophile, which these religious "leaders" do daily, and not about homosexuality. The Gold metals go to religions for gymnastics, mental category.

Makes sense. Greece fires are hard to put out. Have they tried baking soda?

Why even fine corporations at this point? Put the ones involved behind bars and shut the company down, liquidate their assets, and divide it to the victims when they do criminal shit.

It's not murder equivalent though. You probably have this image in your mind of a fully formed fetus when in actuality its something smaller than a pea by the time like 99% of abortions are done. There is no mind formed, the whole "heartbeat" thing was a lie, it was essentially the cells forming parts and doing basic tests on them to see if it works yet. Your logic would also dictate men NEED to have kids every moment because sperm only lives for a day or so and if they don't fertilize then it's the same as a mass murder (even though only one sperm survives fertilization, so still mass murder).

Also what about future possible kids? If you plan to only have a set number of kids, and aren't in a good place, financially, mentally, or otherwise to have them right now you are looking at two possible options.

Option one: have them now and ruin your, your spouse, AND the kids lives by raising them without funds and before living life and maturing into a better person and parent, and in situations of stress like that you end up yelling at them unjustly, hitting them, or otherwise taking your problems out on everyone else (intentional, or not. Directly or not). Not to mention the overworking hours to pay for them takes you out of their lives when they need you most.

Or Option two: wait until you are ready, financially, mentally, or otherwise and give that same number of kids the life they deserve. And you all get to have much happier lives.

Now in both possible universes the same number of lives are born, and even if you picked universe one, now you've deleted the kids in universe two. So it's still removing their futures.

There is no logical, or even ethical, reason to prevent abortions other than to control women and hurt children. Period. Anyone who says abortions are bad are hateful anti-human or anti-thinking people who want to push themself into others lives and force them to live how they demand.

Except it's the opposite. Uncut gems was a terrible movie. I loved almost all of his other movies.

Same here, but I'm still unsure if Lemmy is a good alternative. Having to sign up for every community just to upvote/downvote, comment, or post seems foolish. Posting, totally fine. Upvote/downvote and comment? That creates a problem.

I would be nice if they had centralized upvote/downvote and comments in one general login if they wanna get more users to migrate. They could allow communities to block that access if they want, for more control so only accepted users can interact, but otherwise it feels like im bound and gagged trying to use this site, at least compared to reddit.

These issues are like programming UI 101: Don't make the user have to login to too many things or over complicate it or they won't use it. Because of that I worry this ends up being only content interaction one way so I might as well just go back to TV or corporate media/news sites where users can't participate.

Edit: huh, I guess you can. Well nvm this is not bad.
