Yea, as a millennial, it’s kinda depressing to hear some of us take credit for being the spearhead when previous generations were the ones who went through things like the Stonewall Riots and started Pride.
We absolutely were not the spearhead. We were supposed to be the bulwark to prevent it from backsliding and we failed.
It’s more like facing a cliff and pulling the handbrake to crash the car in the hopes it rolls to a stop before going over the edge instead of bickering about what speed we want to go over the cliff at.
Not even different wings. Both are right wing parties. The left wing of this bird was long since broken.
Are you aware that countries sharing borders is no excuse to force conscription against the individual’s will?
Can’t believe this is getting downvoted.
No country, for any reason, should ever have the right to disenfranchise an individual and force their enlistment. Authoritarianism of this nature should never be supported.
Idk … Andor has a really good message.
This very succinctly explains why I, with AuDHD, find it practically impossible to get anything done as I slowly rot from untreated chronic illnesses.
Knew a guy. Young dude, former military but broke his back during parachute training exercise so out on disability fully. 4k+ a month. Lives in a 4 bedroom house in a modest, rural town. Constantly complained about never having enough money. Dude would spend damn near half his monthly check on new accessories for his collection or a new piece. Every month.
Dude was selfish as fuck and such an idiot. Didn’t know until I had to live with him. Glad I’m not stuck there even if life is technically harder.
Literally annoyed right now because some dimwit fighting ghosts, saying that I was advocating for tolerance of right-wing fascism, because I said that the Balkanization strategy was not the strat in reply to a third individual’s comment.
Also trying to say something about vulcanization, but idk what the chemical process of mixing rubber with sulfur has to do with geopolitics.
Caramelized carrots are bomb. Add as a topping on a sweet potato casserole if you wanna level up your game.
Except they are using it as collateral to accumulate excessive amounts of wealth, essentially replacing their income, tax free.
Which is why the first commenter mentioned the tax should be used on unrealized gains that are used as collateral. Not just the unrealized gains themselves.
Also, yea, when they sell, they pay a tax. Just like everyone else. That is a completely separate instance of wealth accumulation that is unrelated to the wealth accumulated by using those gains as collateral.
Don’t like it? Don’t buy stock and earn your money through income from a job instead. It’s that simple.
Though tbh I think this entire discussion on share and stock is pointless. Profit paid to shareholders is wage that should have been paid to a worker; if you don’t perform labor for that company, you shouldn’t have any entitlement to the profits made from that company.
Cause God forbid we expect men to not by misogynist perverts. Women should just cover head to toe and never show themselves in public because “consequences”, yea?
Nah fuck that victim blaming mentality. Women should be able to post pictures of themselves online without worrying about perverts objectifying them.
Men need to learn to be better and held accountable for their shitty behavior.
How is this downvoted? Dude literally admits to creeping on women’s profiles so he can ogle their photos. How is he any different from old school weirdos who would whack it to Sports Illustrated?
This isn’t someone admitting to enjoying porn (which is still a problematic industry in itself but that’s another, more complex, issue). It is someone admitting to looking at regular photos on women’s profiles and fantasizing about their tits.
That’s textbook objectification of women.
The 4th is straight up a symptom of abuse victims.
People literally have to go to therapy to learn how to stop doing that to themselves.
Imagine doing years of therapy to unlearn this habit only to have some middle manager cunt cause you to relapse.
