Age of consent there is something downright medieval. I think like 13 or 14.
Nope, that's just a myth pushed by ... genuinely don't even know who. The national age of consent is lower than that, yes, but that's only because they don't need to raise it because every individual part of the country has a perfectly normal age of consent.
Also I hate to invoke harry potter but going through people’s family history and records to check whether they are or are not a real pure blood has the same energy as the fascist supporters of Voldemort.
:stop-posting-amogus: STOP
My last job was like this weird combination of both. We were in a food packaging plant with heavy machinery active all the time and no air conditioning (so like 100+ degrees at all times) doing hard manual labor for a total of like 2.5h each 8h shift. My direct supervisors didn't really give a shit if we were doing anything for the rest of the time, but we still had to either hide or pretend to work for the rest of the time, and we absolutely could not make any mistakes about it whatsoever. like you might literally be sitting around with nothing to do from 10 to 2, but if 2:02 comes around and you're still not doing anything but across the entire facility some work finally opened up at 1:59 well you're gonna have a fuckin meeting where they shout and threaten to fire you and accuse you of being lazy and shit
have they considered actually doing their jobs as supervisors and letting us know when work opens up? no. of course not. we've just gotta know.
absolutely fucked
edit: just to spell it out as well (because its so ridiculous) they literally just expected us to be walking circles around the facility with a broom in hand for hours on end. that way we'd know when finally there was something to do. :agony-shivering:
I mean that genuinely does suck when you're doing it. The fact that many other people have worse jobs doesn't change the fact that if you spent 10 years pretending to be an important businessman at the business factory you'd feel like a drained, soulless husk too.
We've all got it shitty in this fucked up system. The only ones winning are the rich and even those fuckers manage to be miserable lmao
recording of that time the US tried scaring the Viet Cong with scary ghost noises
:fedposting: hueuhahaehuaehheuauaeheau. ok let me add some sound effects to that, this'll surely scare them
edit: this paragraph lmao
An example of the ghost tape being used effectively, was when the 6th Psychological Operations Battalion[4] mixed an authentic tiger roar during a time when North Việt Cộng soldiers were being attacked by tigers near a mountain. The 6th PSYOP got their information from a Việt Cộng defector by the name of Chiêu Hồi. With this information and a new recording, they sent soldiers behind enemy lines up a mountain passage with the task of playing this new ghost tape. After the 6th PSYOP played this recording, reportedly 150 Việt Cộng soldiers decided to leave their position on the mountain in fear of being killed by tigers. That is just one of many examples of the ghost tape being used effectively.[citation needed]
motherfuckers are literally being attacked by real-ass tigers and these fucking nerds think that they left because of a fake tiger and not the real ones
assuming the story is even remotely based in anything that happened, considering it has no sources at all. you'd think if it were totally made up though they'd make up a story that doesnt make them look fucking stupid lol
I for one want to see monarchal communism (does North Korea count as that?)
No, that's literally just propaganda. The DPRK is a democracy and the Kims lead because they are popular because they're essentially a family of "heroes" in their nation. You can argue that is less than ideal, but that is an inherent flaw in democracy, that celebrities are inherently powerful.
Yeah people hated Sarkeesian way back in early 2013, firmly before gamergate which technically started I think in 2014 and was only in full swing around 2015-2016.
I mean yeah, in certain contexts. In significant parts of the world they pretty much exclusively have that connotation still, the Nazis didn't really affect it that much. But yeah, if you're in the Americas or Europe cut that shit out obviously lol
Look, I'm allowed to be on my knees with my mouth open and what other people do is none of my business :galaxy-brain:
This may be the dumbest struggle session in the history of this site. Everyone voicing any kind of opinion about Hasan Piker needs to log off. I couldn't even figure out what the fuck any of you were talking about until like 3 threads in.
I swear we need to start giving Contrapoints posts the :funny-clown-hammer: treatment. Who gives a fuck? Stop watching the dumb lib's dumb lib videos.
