Drusas,

Go to your doctor and ask for a titer to check your antibodies. That won't get you your blood type, but you could ask about it at the same time. Even in the US, these are pretty cheap and easy to have done.

Drusas,

Daiso is Japan's version of a dollar store (though admittedly far, far better than American dollar stores), so I would not go there for a long-lasting knife. Dishes? Absolutely. Knife? No.

Drusas,

I thought it was a zucchini until I came to the comments.

Drusas,

"Man" also means "humankind". In fact, it was originally a gender-neutral word.

Drusas,

Harassing someone who has been fighting for a ceasefire. These kind of protestors don't realize how they only damage their cause by looking like extremists and idiots.

Drusas,

The congresswoman, who has been a strong advocate of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, insisted she had already denounced Israel’s actions as genocide and therefore the protesters’ anger was misplaced.

“I already said that it was and y’all are just gonna pretend that it wasn’t over and over again - it’s f---ed up, man,” she said. “And you’re not helping these people, and you’re not helping them, you’re not helping them."

Are you going to pretend to know what she has said at work?

Drusas,

"Illegal driver" and "illegal doctor" are also terms that nobody uses.

Drusas,

But they will happily use statistics which include both groups.

Drusas,

Yes, it does. That's the whole point of why it's bad to use the word "illegal" as a noun to describe people. And that's why people do so. Dehumanization. They're not an illegal immigrant. They're "an illegal". Barely even a person.

Drusas,

Maybe so, but I've never heard it.

Drusas,

No, we're talking about using it as a noun. Saying "an illegal". Not saying "an illegal immigrant".

The Feds Are Coming for “Extremist” Gamers (theintercept.com)

Gaming companies are coordinating with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to root out so-called domestic violent extremist content, according to a new government report. Noting that mechanisms have been established with social media companies to police extremism, the report recommends that the national security agencies...

Drusas,

Are they pretending the JROTC doesn't exist? The US military absolutely targets minors under the age of seventeen for recruitment.

Drusas,

Thank you!

People so rarely think of the disabled. Sure, most modern buses can "kneel" to let someone with a wheelchair on or off, but that doesn't exactly make public transit disability friendly. For one thing, odds are that person has to wheels themselves pretty damn far to get to and from the bus stop. There is also generally one spot that a wheelchair will fit in and one spot only. There are also usually only two seats for the disabled/elderly and the disabled not infrequently get harassed for using those seats if they don't look disabled enough for other people's liking.

For another, there are many different types of disability. Having an elevator or kneeling bus doesn't solve every disabled person's problems with access. And what about the immunocompromised? Public transit is one of the most dangerous things you can engage in as someone susceptible to infection.

There will always be a need for personal modes of transportation of some kind. Public transportation is wonderful and I am a huge proponent of it, but it is not the be-all and end-all solution that people like to pretend it is.

Drusas,

Everyone should be avoiding palm oil. It's in a lot of products but still not that hard to avoid as long as you check the ingredients.

Starving Children in Gaza 'Cannot Wait' Weeks for US Port, Aid Groups Say (www.commondreams.org)

“Children in Gaza cannot wait to eat,” said Jason Lee, country director for Save the Children in the occupied Palestinian territory. “They are already dying from malnutrition and saving their lives is a matter of hours or days—not weeks.”...

Drusas,

The US can't force Israel to do anything.

Drusas,

It would be basically impossible to exist in modern society if that were true.

Drusas,

Six times seems like an awful lot of times to engage to with somebody.

Drusas,

Viewing this image, it's the first time I've noticed that the pride flag is missing one of the colors of the rainbow. ROYGBIV, where are you?

Drusas,

You clearly missed the entire gist of this post and thread. So I'm just going to leave it there.

Drusas,

The funniest thing about this is that you are the one pissing and moaning the most in this thread.

Drusas,

I think by this point whoever is doing all this calling should get a harassment charge.
