It’s about blood flow. Your nose is not only filled with mucus, it’s also inflamed. Prioritizing blood flow to other parts of your body will temporarily alleviate that swelling, allowing you to breath again. Light exercise works just as well.

Cut out three cardboard seashells.

Ok? If not on a Saturday, when do you think people are seeing 6:30 showtimes? Do you think theaters just don’t open before 8pm or something?

Here’s the nearest theater to me smack-dab in the middle of the reddest metroplex in the country.

It’s Saturday?

This seems like an extreme reaction.

Your dismissal of his credibility as a source doesn’t make you any less wrong.

There’s evidence that they’re pursuing a domestic policy somewhat similar to the US response to 9/11

Lmao at what point did the United States government detain and imprison and torture millions of people in response to 9/11?

You’re awfully dismissive of a horrific situation just to stand on top of the ethical fallacy that this isn’t “genocide” as it fits your definition.

Several countries, including the US, UK, Canada and the Netherlands, have accused China of committing genocide - defined by international convention as the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

The declarations follow reports that, as well as interning Uyghurs in camps, China has been forcibly mass sterilising Uyghur women to suppress the population, separating children from their families, and attempting to break the cultural traditions of the group.

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has said China is committing “genocide and crimes against humanity”.

The UK parliament declared in April 2021 that China was committing a genocide in Xinjiang.

A UN human rights committee in 2018 said it had credible reports that China was holding up to a million people in “counter-extremism centres” in Xinjiang.

The only one comparing the two is you. Both can fit the definition of genocide and be horrific without devaluing the other.

Guess I don’t know how to format quotes properly.

I can’t tell if this is just a silly joke or an astute observation of depression.

Are the Xinjiang papers not enough evidence?

Maybe you would like to follow up on the findings of the select committee investigating the issue?

Maybe you want something Sourced by the BBC?

Don’t be a simp for the CCP. It’s embarrassing.

Who looks more ridiculous? The monkey that paid a stupid amount of money for a delicious treat they couldn’t have gotten at home, or the monkey that paid a stupid amount of money for someone else to peel a regular ass banana for them? It’s a pretty basic “don’t throw stones in glass houses” analogy.

You mean like alcohol?

I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and say the impact of lead poisoning and micro plastics is way worse than anyone realizes yet. It feels like I am actively watching my parents mental decline and they are only about 60.

Same. I was taught that the Internet was for anonymity. You never supplied details from your real life to the internet and largely treated it as a hostile environment. The Internet was cool and full of information but also dangerous. Today I am still a little weirded out by how open people are with their personal information online.

I have never once in my life desired a notification from a website.

Imagine you wanted children and then someone would come along and castrate you because there’s a problem with overpopulation. You take away an individaul’s choice of reproduction for the greater good. And it makes sense, but the lack of consent or even understandment does not sit well with me.

You’re anthropomorphizing animals too much. Cats don’t “want” children. Beyond a basic biological need they don’t give a shit about procreation. It’s not even a difficult question, ethically speaking. In almost every environment they exist in cats are considered invasive, reproduce like crazy, and tend to be incredibly destructive to local species. To be clear, I don’t think there is anything wrong with owning a cat, but it’s important to do so responsibly.

Roll back the rock, friend!
