  • yeah, the question gets remarkably different answers depending on how it's asked (naturally) as do trans questions and others. it's really reductive and misleading to just blanket buy that 80% of the country is in absolute lockstep on trump policies and it will lead to strategic errors in organizing for those who are actively involved in it if they don't take advantage of what will clearly be growing unrest because they've resigned themselves to inaction against some nonexistent mandate

    in short, communists should not be taking cues from hakeem jefferies

  • i live in the northeast and i don't know of anyone that would consider those to be real curse words but i know if you go to like arkansas or (especially) utah that opinion could change drastically

  • i never really noticed or cared but now i had to look it up

    PG is the lowest rating that allows profanity (usually mild); G formerly allowed very mild terms like "damn" and "hell." Use of words such as "sht," "btch," "bastard," and "ass" are allowed but they will not be persistent or aggressive. Examples of recent PG films that contain moderate profanity include The Long Game, You Gotta Believe and Piece by Piece. Strong, sexual words like "fk," "ct," and "c**ksucker" are not allowed.

    Racial slurs like the N-word are allowed to be used, but only in an educational or historical context (e.g. Disney's Glory Road). Any other use will get at least a PG-13.

    One unique case of profanity is The Transformers: The Movie, when Spike says, "Oh sh*t! What are we going to do now?" (but the particular word is permissible at PG). A few PG rated films up until the '80s included usage of "f**k," most notably Spaceballs, All the President's Men, and Sixteen Candles, which came out in 1984.

  • yeah, really looking forward to basic weather forecasting being gated behind an accuweather subscription

  • i honestly think it's just his contrarian impulse. it leads to like one good thing out of every ten thousand so in between accelerating trans genocide and building resort hotels in Gaza he'll also talk about developing relations with North Korea.

  • but then my son will see it on our shared jerk off tracker

  • they dont want to fuck their trad wives though, they want to fuck virgin whore burger bikini models and then dehumanize them, the trad wives are there to do all their chores

  • yeah, the current collapse is not the version that crumbles with a minimum of collateral damage to the rest of the world. this is the flailing, wounded animal thrashing around in a china shop smashing everything within reach on its way down.

  • would be more resistance, and it also encourages the transphobic parts of the 'lgb' communities to participate in erasing us before society turns on them.

  • inpatient rehab and NA worked for me but I wouldn't necessarily recommend that path unless you're struggling with addiction, but the larger point there is that anything where you're gathering with the same groups of people organized around a singular focus has potential. hobby and interest groups/meetups/clubs work for this because you have at least one thing in common off the bat to ground conversations. from there it's a process of familiarity and feeling people out which can be onerous but is ultimately worth the effort.

  • this one does actually come up but in case anyone needs it

    Also

  • news @hexbear.net

    Trump says he’s given advisers instructions for Iran to be ‘obliterated’ if it assassinates him

  • this is the end result of devaluation of the humanities. Dunning-Kruger is overused on the internet but freaks like this are just a massive, massive, glaring example of it
