words do area-of-effect damage, friend.
if you use the r-slur around me, even if its not directed at me, it hurts, and it makes me feel less safe with you, because of the way that word has been used to specifically target me for hatred based on my neurotype. plus there’s the fact that you acknowledge it to be a mean word for disabled people, and if you’re using it as a weapon against non-disabled people, you’re really saying ‘haha, you’re like those disabled people, and that’s terrible.’ i hope you can see how this probably doesn’t feel so good to a lot of us?
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do
gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it’s a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.
anyone want to explain what the joke is here?
the headline seems to be so clickbait-y that it has diverted most of the commenters from actually reading the article lol
true, but as the article explains, in some places, the legal definition of bestiality does not require a penis to be involved, nor does it provide exceptions for artificial insemination of farm animals.
the ‘bestiality problem’ is not (thankfully) that people are out there having sex with cows in droves, but that, in their relentless pursuit of profit, the meat/dairy industries are probably violating the law, and definitely violating the livestock, on a massive scale.
is this post implying that Jumanji wasn’t already a horror movie?
is there a non sexist/queerphobic meaning for that term? i would assume the bigotry is the whole point.
also that first sentence does not have an ‘S’ in it.
so far as i’ve been able to sus out, an air fryer literally is an oven.
honestly, i can barely tolerate two pedal driving, but the thought of just removing the ability to actively brake in an emergency seems profoundly short sighted and dangerous.
she made a mistake. good design could have prevented her crash, and less negligent design should have let her live. absolute worst case scenario, it should have been an expensive mistake, but not a fatal one.
i felt more than a little sick to my stomach at “one pedal driving”.
‘white people ain’t shit’ is a pretty solid alternative title for this book.
does anyone know if the guy lived or died?
there’s still goofy magic sci-fi designs now, and there have always been more ‘realistic’ designs based on (to varying degrees) real scientific and engineering knowhow. the only way one could come to this conclusion would be by cherry-picking your examples. if you compare ‘the jetsons’ to ‘mass effect’, sure, it supports your conclusion, but on the other hand, contrasting ‘rick and morty’ against ‘2001: a space odyssey’ would give a rather different conclusion.
its weird how this is implying that there are people who don’t hate elon musk.
here ya go!
