Into the forest? I've heard about the chocolate that's not _just_ chocolate... Is that what we're referencing or are they _literally_ running ICE agents into the forest?
I had to see it to believe. That's the problem. I just couldn't fathom it was _that_ bad.
I couldn't understand why there wasn't unrestrained outrage. Then I finally started to realize, "Holy shit... It's _all_ like this for them. Every single interaction, all day long, every day."
I do not know how women, people of color, LGBTQ folks haven't burned the f'ing world down.
This whole thread is something men need to read and grok. Over and over again.
I cannot tell you how flabbergasted I've been seeing how medical professionals have treated my wife. The condescension and divisiveness is obscene. Then they'll look at me with a you-know-what-I'm-talking-about face.
Fuck you. Help my wife. She's not crazy, you're an asshole.
I think we should be arming and training Ukraine relentlessly.
I only got 1 vote and I used it for the sane choice.
Now, because not enough people did that, I gotta donate my personal funds to a war effort... Which is _explicitly_ the responsibility of my damn government.
All of that to say, I'm thrilled to hear that Norway is effectively sharing a $160 per person to arm Ukraine.
Ukraine deserves material and personnel at every opportunity.
If you don't know how _anything_ works _everything_ seems like magic.
I mean... Most of us don't know how all the technologies work. Like not _really_.
Yeah, I flip a switch and _LIGHT!_. Power generation, power transmission, stepping up and down of voltage before it enters the consumer location, conversion from AC/DC... Most folks don't know _any_ of that.
They know they flip the switch. If the lights don't come on... They're stumped.
"We lost because we're too busy having feelings and being empathetic!"
Fuck you. You failed to convince the voters of the validity of your fucking beliefs and policies. Now it's easy to fucking see why. If you can so easily leave these people behind and adopt "Alpha male energy" then you've never held the beliefs, principles, or policies that we value in the first fucking place.
Take a people from their land, shove them into an inhospitable place, and break every treaty you've ever made with them.
THEN in _your_ hour of need ask them to keep your secrets while risking their lives for a nation that derides them. THEY answer the call in _honor_ and we betray their memory.
