While many believe young people are becoming more liberal, data shows that 12th grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Around 25% of high school seniors identify as conservative while only 13% identify as liberal. In contrast, the share of 12th grade girls identifying as liberal...
The rate of girls identitying as liberal is significantly higher and unlike the conservative boys, the rate hasn’t started dropping off. Probably because the girls face actual threats to their freedoms, while the conservative boys’ complaints are about a bunch of imaginary nonsense.
But of course it’s boys who get the headline. The hill is a right wing dumpster bin.
So what? That has nothing to do with anyone’s rights. Girls are facing having their body autonomy stripped away and the best you can come up with for boys is that they don’t have boys only orgs at school anymore?
You didn’t give an example of shit. I asked for an example of how boys’ rights are being treated and you come up with some wussy nonsense about recess. Give me a break. No one has a “right” to recess, even if your complaints about it were true, which they aren’t.
Your ideology is a fragile, weak joke. It’s pathetic that the right thinks they own masculinity and strength while acting like a bunch of whiny wimps.
Following the release of a report by the human rights organization Safeguard Defenders in September 2022, probes were launched by several countries into the activities of the “overseas police stations” established by China worldwide.

We cannot allow another country to pretend they have jurisdiction in North America, that’s beyond unacceptable. These enforcers absolutely need to be arrested and deported.
China won’t do shit. They are just as dependent on the US/Canada, if not moreso at this point. If we allow this to continue we are essentially surrendering our sovereignty to them, while allowing them to harass and threaten our taxpayers. That is pure cowardice.

The carriers refused to do it one their own so Google had to provide the servers themselves. Apple could do the same, but we all know they won’t and never will. If it wasn’t this excuse it would be another one.
Apple has deployed a system called Private Access Tokens that allows web servers to verify if a device is legitimate before granting access. This works by having the browser request a signed token from Apple proving the device is approved. While this currently has limited impact due to Safari’s market share, there are concerns...

Man, I hope the EU pulls the trigger on Google. They are way, way overdue for getting broken up. It’s insane how easily they can change the entire internet on a whim with zero oversight. The Biden admin will never do it.

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can’t even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what’s between their legs.
She’s abusing her office to make money, to me the distinction is only in degrees of criminality. These justices are acting like they’re above the law because they basically are, which is unacceptable. Judges in general have way too much power.
If a regular federal employee or contractor did something similar they’d lose their job and probably go to prison. A janitor at the FBI is held to a higher standard then supreme court justices are.
The idea was that you basically paid your own way. A huge part of the issue is that Congress steals our social security money on a regular basis and people let them get away with it.
