We must earn profit off our democracy, that’s capitalism

Yup. Have you ever watched old Civil Rights activists’s speeches or interviews? People like Madaline Murray O’Hair. The interviews were calm and seeking to understand. They were slower and less aggressive. Madeline Murray O’Hair was called “The Most Hated Woman in America,” and is responsible for many laws enforcing separation of church and state. And they were still able to conduct a better interview then.

Those old Civil Right’s interviews really showcase the regression we’ve had. It’s almost like since we had those few famous activists, we haven’t had many real ones since. Unless it’s a teen girl like Malala or Greta Thurnberg, who are cute and all, but like, where are all the adults, ya know?

So people who are anti-genocide should be genocided?

Actually in the wheelchair community, there can indeed be pressure to use the least assistive wheelchair possible. Chairs aren’t 100% seen as liberating and there’s a lot of nuance into why people pick certain chairs beyond finances. My aunt repeatedly fell out of her chair because she insisted on one made for a lower back injury than she has. She kept it for status, because she looks more able without the sides.

I guess ‘differently abled,’ just comes across as ableism to me. Not using visible signs of a disability, like a chair or hearing aids, can be internalized ableism. Some of the worst verbalized ableism I’ve heard has come from disabled communities. It’s a very complicated topic, not least because disability is used to harm disabled people and take away their agency. And for many, there is a lot of grief with using assisitive devices.

That being said, I don’t think people should be forced to change or to use devices they dislike. My aunt still uses her chair, it’s not like we’re going to drag her into another one or whatever. I just wanted to point out the internalized ableism that could be contributing to this attitude and word change.

It wasn’t so long ago that the Civil rights Era stopped disabled people from being chained in attics and lobotomized and hid away. It’s entirely reasonable to fear that association.

Women are not meat-based artwork that you own for the sake of looking at them. That’s not what marriage is.

I just went to Vegas and probably took 30 ubers while there. Almost none had signs. One had a police license plate though lol

I think there’s a lot more to this guy’s relationship with his daughter. She had other friends at the house and hadn’t told him she’d left. She also went inside and left during this confrontation. Sounds like a very strained relationship for many reasons - eg I wonder how many times he’s threatened her with a gun etc

If the FDA, FTC, USDA, EPA, Depts of Transportation, and CDC wanted to guarantee and check their work, we’d have universal healthcare. And in fact I think that’s exactly the legal argument for why the government should be FORCED to provide us healthcare - how else would we be able to catch (and class action sue for) large community-wide health hazards such as:

-asbestos in baby powder

-lead and heavy metals in vitamins and supplements

-consistency of dosing in medications

-Deaths from auto accidents when we should be having trains

-Deaths from contaminated eggs, meat, milk from bird flu or other pathogens

-Products that are blatant lies/false

-Companies leaking chemicals into water supplies

-Lead in water supply

-Heavy metals in water supply& in crops, from exhaust from cars and bits of tires

-imminent looming climate change

Gee, I wonder why corporations are scared of us getting healthcare?

What an ignorant take.

“They have a 6½-year-old daughter,” Jones said. “And she misses her daddy.”

He was also cheating on his wife with this woman for over a year and delayed getting back home to his daughter so he could go to Russia to cheat on the mother of his child.

He should have known better on many levels.

And I don’t think he gives a single fuck about his daughter.

I was permabanned from r/worldnews for saying we should give free meals to kids at schools here instead of wasting money blowing up other country’s kids.

I volunteered for his campaign in 2016 and am very proud of that. Really respect him even if I don’t agree 100% with everything he says

Imo, companies being concerned about class actions if everyone had access to Healthcare, is THE REASON we do not have Healthcare for all in this country. Imagine how many more Flint, MI, there are, but no one knows because none of them can afford to see a doctor.

We were poly, I have my own OF, it’s no big deal except those subscriptions add up fast. Just like the dating apps were okay at the time too, but an annoying cost when added up.

LustyArgonianMana, 1 month ago

My ex has hundreds of dollars of subscription stuff each month: Disney, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Streaming, Max/HBO, OnlyFans, Tinder, Field, Bumble etc etc. It’s so stupid

I think now is a good time to exit. Tesla may have been a good company at one point despite Musk, but now you’re going to be bagholding. It’s probably a good time to exit Tesla.

As if Kansas lawmakers actually care about harm to children unless it personally affects them. I will never forget the waterslide incident, allowing parks to self inspect and not adhere to basic safety standards is wild. It wasn’t until a politician’s kid died that they changed the rules.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verrückt#:~:text=Verrückt…)%20Scott%20Schwab.

Verrückt permanently closed in 2016 following a fatal incident involving the decapitation of Caleb Schwab, the 10-year-old son of Kansas state legislator (and later Secretary of State of Kansas) Scott Schwab.

After Scott Schwab spoke to his fellow legislators about his son’s death and its effect on him, they voted to change the law that had allowed Schlitterbahn to self-inspect, requiring that all the state’s amusement park attractions be regularly inspected by the state.

On February 22, 2019, criminal charges were dismissed against [slide makers] … the law at the time did not require that those standards be followed.

But yeah, get right on protecting those kids from the gays. And not forced conversion therapy, which is legal in most of Kansas from what I can tell.

Yes, because the world is extremely complex. The sadder thing, is that even if we solved climate change tomorrow, we’d still have a few other ways for our planet to end, including destruction of soil habitat, loss of biodiversity, and literally dozens of pollutants like BPA and glyphosate, dyes for clothes, microplastics, heavy metals (including from tractor tires&exhaust right onto the fields we grow our food in)… And we have an outdated representative democracy that doesn’t utilize our country’s education or expertise. Frustrating. It’s not the time of horses any more, we can fucking use technology now ya’ll. We should be able to vote and discuss policy en masse from our homes/cell phones. We don’t need representatives if we are literally our own representative in a true democracy.

If unions and OSHA really had teeth, they’d point out the significant health risks of having workers commute to work versus work from home. In terms of lives saved, work from home is much safer and we should fine companies accordingly when they force workers to commute when instead they could simply work from home. They should also be fined for environmental impact as well :)

People aren’t embarrassed to be racist anymore- really think we should bring that back
