SuddenDownpour,

I’m seriously on the fence with this one. A couple of points make it really difficult for it to not to be satire, but I’ve met guys who would unironically think of “can think for herself” as a malus - but they wouldn’t admit it out loud. Now, can there be some kind of cave creature so pulled apart from civilized life that they would think this and post it?

Virgin “I live in an existentialist mental hell I’ve been indoctrinated into” vs Chad “A meaningless life in a purposeless universe means I’m the master of my own destiny, and therefore I choose to eat tacos”

SuddenDownpour,

About a month ago there was a Christian philosopher making exactly this argument, perhaps not realizing how absolutely psychotic he sounded like.

SuddenDownpour,

We should accept that there’s both people for whom sex work is just like any other job, and people for whom it implies renouncing to an element of privacy they’d rather to share only with their partner/s. Should it be legalized? By criminalizing it you’re screwing over a lot of people who do want to perform that work and don’t provoke any issues in the world, but legalizing it might have ramifications that are horrendous.

For instance, say your country has an unemployment system where you’d lose your unemployment benefits if you receive a job offer and reject it, and immediately after getting fired you receive an offer to work at a brothel. That’s great if, for you, there’s no emotional element attached to sex, but for a lot of people that would be a nightmare, especially if they need either a job or the unemployment benefits.

So, my take: decriminalize sex work but don’t regulate it yet. Once we have either socialism or UBI or both, and no one gets under risk of suffering personal misery for not having a job for a while, legalize it like all other jobs.

Turkey simply relabels Russian oil products and exports them to Europe, research indicates (www.intellinews.com)

More evidence that Turkey simply relabels Russian oil products and re-exports them to Europe as Turkish emerges from a new study by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA) and the Centre for the Study of Democracy (CSD)....

SuddenDownpour,

Please don’t tell me they’re also helping Russia evade the other sanctions by selling them technology that may be used in the military industry.

SuddenDownpour,

There, the tourists “violently intimidated one of activists, who is a racialized woman, calling her ‘fascist’, ‘monkey’, telling her to go back to Africa and even threatening to kill her.”

Sounds on par for ethnic supremacists.

SuddenDownpour,

Person of color, but only in a background where it has any significance. So a Chinese person is racialized in France, but not in China, and a German person is racialized in Japan, but not in Germany.

SuddenDownpour,

As I hinted at at a recent thread, one of China’s geopolitical principles is the respect for internationally agreed territorial integrity, because their legitimacy to reclaim Taiwan as theirs relies on it. China tolerates Russia’s stunt because they’re allies of necessity, but it forces them into an uncomfortable position.

SuddenDownpour,

You may think it’s bollocks, but they have been very consistent in claiming they’re theirs even since before China was the PRC.

SuddenDownpour,

To a lot of people the US and the EU have often been the devil man that Russia is today

Currently are. The average person of the average Arab country right now probably has a worse opinion of the US than they have of Russia, and for good reason. The post-colonial status of France in plenty of countries in West Africa also make a sizable amount of people there hostile to France, even if the situation is more nuanced. Personally, I’m not a fan of any empire.

SuddenDownpour,

20yo dumbfucks posting their spoils of war on social media. The spoils of war in this case being actual human beings.

SuddenDownpour,

Americans complaining about the detention: “My countries’ laws are fine and the very standard of reason. All of you other countries should chill out!”

You must now boot up Disco Elysium and go tell the mailbox that everything will be ok.

SuddenDownpour,

The way other countries do it is by considering “gender dysphoria” an illness. This way, you aren’t ill for being trans, but you can absolutely feel sick if you’re trans but cannot transition, so the cure for gender dysphoria is to facilitate medical transitioning.

SuddenDownpour,

The idea that the Slovak Prime Minister was shot because of his views in vaccines is ludicrous. The shooter had plenty of views on plenty of different issues, having supported both far right and social liberal parties. Doesn’t look like vaccines were relevant in any way. This is just Taylor Greene sparking unjustified indignation among her base.

SuddenDownpour,

Russian’s current military doctrine involves overwhelming its opponent with larger amount of fire over precision. This means that they give preference to dumb munitions (this is, projectiles which trajectory you cannot change once they’ve been fired) over precise munitions, and North Korea is pretty much capable of providing a bunch of the former. Given North Korea’s current economy and the fact that not many countries would be interested in that kind of armament, it would make perfect sense for Russia and North Korea to make that trade. Nothing of this are judgements of value over any country, just facts and analysis.

SuddenDownpour,

Same, I’m not a massive nerd on Star Wars, but it’s a very common take on Youtube videos that get a little bit deep into Star Wars lore.

SuddenDownpour,

Could have been avoidable if they didn’t have the intention to kill anything that moves.

SuddenDownpour,

From China’s 12 points peace plan:

  1. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld.

Russia unilaterally decided that territories that everyone had agreed were Ukrainian were now theirs. Truly agreeing to China’s peace plan would mean returning everything, including Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea. I don’t think anyone here is naive enough to believe this declaration was serious in any way or form.

SuddenDownpour,

I frequent c/GreenText and people have that attitude all the time, including when the post is about the most normal shit you would hear from a boring friend.

SuddenDownpour,

If someone punches you to death, declaring they weren’t trying to kill you doesn’t make them any less guilty of murder.

SuddenDownpour,

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but virtually everyone here knows their local healthcare center (centros de día o centros de salud) from which we interact with these institutions. Given that I already mentioned that T isn’t in a good financial situation, someone from here would correctly assume that all medical interventions related to his ADHD have been handled through the public system. Just so that you understand, this is the equivalent of telling someone from the US with problems to pay taxes to get in contact with the IRS.

SuddenDownpour,

Just a note, I wouldn’t immediately assume that it’s been the mother of the girls who has been stoking the fire, at least neither T nor his partner have told me anything of the sort. It wouldn’t be impossible for a worker of the school to contact social services upon noticing that the girls were routinely having issues, and someone from there deciding he was the easiest target to take the fall.

SuddenDownpour,

Apparently staying at the mother’s home.

SuddenDownpour,

This is my experience moderating communities as well. The worst trolls get a kick out of testing how far they can stretch the rules and provoke mayhem without getting banned. Excessively explicit rules also trample over people who would usually cause no trouble, but get too tense under exceptional situations.
