No such thing. Society is built on (at least) the idea that the group will tolerate you as long as you tolerate the group. If you come in refusing to get on with others in the group, you’ve violated the social contract. It is not paradoxical to oust someone from a group who won’t play by the rules of the group.
Good. The fact that he’s related to the POTUS is irrelevant. She showed a private citizen’s illegally-acquired nudes in a public congressional meeting, then proceeded to email those same nudes to everyone on her mailing list.
Luckily, Hunter actually has the legal and financial weight to follow up on this. If it had been some random Joe Schmoe, she would’ve been able to delay and deny until he ran out of money for lawyers.
Well… That’s just shitty of them. No one even knows their log in because the only people making an account are people trying to get through their shitty launcher to play a game.
That’s terrible. What happens if I have some life-changing events, like I go on a vacation or a sabbatical, or have a baby and take a year off from playing video games. Which is something I’ve done recently - I went like 2 years without playing video games.
So these assholes are going to just delete all my games when someone does this?
I have a 2017 Dodge Journey. AC, AM/FM/Satellite radio (though I don’t subscribe), CD player, very good heater (Wisconsin winters), bluetooth thats currently nonfunctioning (and I do miss it).
My GPS is a standalone Garmin unit. Learned my lesson with that when Toyota charged my dad $150 for map updates. Could get a backup camera for that, but don’t really need it.
I’m happy with what I have. I do wish I had my Bluetooth back for podcasts, but NPR keeps me pretty happy.
“Because if they institute it, there is nothing to stop the Americans from instituting a visa charge for them to come into the United States,” said Greenberg.
The US already charges $21 and have Europeans fill out such a form. Greenberg is an idiot.
That doesn’t appear correct, Europeans only need an ESTA.
Visa Waiver Program Overview The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables most citizens or nationals of participating countries* to travel to the United States for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less without obtaining a visa.
I very recently applied to travel to the US, the ESTA fee is $21. You have to apply every two years, or after getting a new passport or other personal details change. You need a valid ESTA to qualify for VWP.
So interesting that this is like a global conversation. Trans people have existed, gender affirming care has been possible for 100+ years, but even the pretty right wing authoritarian Russia only banned it after it became an issue in the US, which only really happened after Obergefell in 2015 ended the gay marriage debate in the US.
I’m open to other ideas for why this became an issue. Not sure the 2018 changes to the ISD would be classified as cause or effect of the US debate.
It became a thing because right wingers need someone to blame. Conservatism only works when there’s an “other” group to blame for all your problems. It’s been the Jews, BIPOC, gay people, and now it’s trans people.
No, the left does not call for conservatives to lose all health care and to be imprisoned. They do not actively pass laws in socialist countries to take the rights away from conservatives.
To spell it out plainly, one group are people trying to live and breath. The other group is attacking those people for the crime of trying to live and breath.
Left or right, we all need a group to blame to keep fighting each other. For the left it’s the far right, for the right it’s the far left - in reality most people sit much closer to the centre than the extreme.
This move to highlight (and aggressively publicise) an anti-Trans agenda is purely to garner more support from conservative parties in the EU & US who are gaining popularity.
The difference between the far left and far right is that one is in power and is causing active physical harm to people and the other is the far left.
The right uses minority groups as scapegoats. The left calls them out. These two things are not equivalent and fence sitters in the so called center just enable the far right people in power to continue to cause harm
Idk what else to say here, but the far right are in power. They’re pushing immigrant kids looking for a better life into dangerous rivers, they’re destroying the lives of trans people for daring to exist, they’re forcing CSA victims to give birth to SA babies, and numerous other horrific things.
They’re here and they’re in power. Pretending they’re not just makes you ignorant.
Hell, one of the far right groups that’s taking over school boards quoted fucking Hitler in their newsletter recently.
Iraq’s foreign ministry on Monday called on authorities of EU countries to “quickly reconsider so-called freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate” in light of the Quran burnings
I wonder if the even realise how sinister that sounds to anyone from a developed nation?
