Orange chicken taco for cultural fusion

Yeah but this is more clever and has nothing to do with Kamala, so double-win

I mean it’s pretty much been that the whole time… Idk I guess I’m just tired of people saying basically “Well here’s an obvious solution that you clearly missed because you’re automatically lazy and/or stupid if you’re from the US, and especially if you don’t have the financial solubility or high-demand skills to easily expatriate or you’re disabled, just get up off your lazy corn-fattened ass and go yell at the people who give the US military their orders. Oh, you say you tried and nothing happened? You must have been an utter and complete failure. You deserve this then.”

Not that that’s what is being said precisely, but it hits the same notes. And DicJacobus, this isn’t aimed at you, but at the original comment in this thread. Unless you agreed with them and I misread your tone

Shit duee my unlocked Sony Xperia has WiFi calling locked via the carrier 😅
I’m no slouch when it comes to basic tech literacy, but I was left scratching my head when I watched the WiFi calling setting literally disappear before my eyes. Fuck AT&T (at least I’m on a cheap plan)

Literally this I’m dying laughing at my own lack of observational skills 🤣🤣

Oops fuck you’re right 🤣🤣 I saw that in a different comment above it at the time and thought they were nested 😅😅💀

“Anime to watch with my early teen daughter” probably doesn’t include Berserk. And Ghost in the Shell isn’t fanservice exactly, but definitely has sexual themes

It’s almost like people think times haven’t changed since then

Because these two countries are otherwise identical in every way. Good thing you have an easy solution that still works in spite of the existence of assault rifles and wire taps

I have strongly considered the Armor line. Which is what I’m assuming you’re talking about

Altogether the three equals less than one whole good film. They get close with the first two but the third is inexcusable. I counted: there are less than 5 shots that last for more than 15 seconds before a hard cut, even if it’s still in the same scene (I counted but also barely cared; I was just trying stay awake)

OK I’m actually a noob at formatting and i have no idea how i even did that giant text

This is crazy in the context of having just finished the Native Tongue trilogy by Suzette Haden Elgin. Great read or listen, describes the world this person imagines.

Trade =/= capitalism. Capitalism is maximum enrichment for a few at the cost of the many. “Capitalizing on an opportunity” doesn’t usually seem to get interpreted as “get what I need and hopefully what I want in an exchange that is equitable, just, fair, and negotiable to all parties”; instead, the common meaning seems to be “get all that I can as quick as I can in exchange for the least possible expense on my part”, which is not even a full step away from 'The Tragedy of the Commons, ’ or, “if there’s not enough for everyone to have as much as they want or need, then everyone who takes as much as they need is evil, and if someone is going to be evil AND ALSO have enough than that person is damn well going to be me.” THAT’S capitalism.

Such has been the present interpretation of the course of recorded history. Recorded most often by conquerors, looking favorably upon the the ends of their conquest to justify their means, and if you boil just about every single conquering ideology down for long enough, you will see two things, in this order: greed for what the conquered populace had, and fear of not having enough.

That’s not “human nature,” that’s a response to human nature. Most of us would probably generally prefer to go on living. For many people, that looks like “i just need my necessities covered and I’ll figure out the rest.” Historically this happened by banding together and looking out for one another, not by hoarding resources and making people do extra work just to fucking exist with a modicum of comfort in a society forever dangling a golden carrot to keep you distracted from the meat grinder. (Edit for formatting)

She’s probably not even married, among others, but is still playing into the prescribed gender role to troll the masc even harder. OR, she is married, but probably her relationship has some elements that are still considered “niche” or “deviant” by society at large. Or, maybe NONE of that is true, either, which is yet another layer relating to assumptions people make based on the behavior and self-expression of others

Damn this comic has L A Y E R S

Ope. There goes the Pope.

I just read a chapter called “Zionism” in a book called “Never Again” by Rabbi Meir Kahane (published 2009), because the book was presented to me by the person who owns the copy as being, like, somehow especially important, something about the author being really good or something. I don’t remember exactly. I figured reading this chapter would tell me whether the book is for me (born Buddhist/Jewish in a primarily Jewish/Espicopalian Christian family; celebrated Christmas and Passover but never had a mitzvah, 60% Ashkenazi, yadda yadda), given my lack of education/study of Jewish history. It starts out seemingly taking a neutral/mildly derogatory stance towards Zionism… But by the end of the chapter it’s clear he thinks of modern Palestinians as being still responsible as “Arabs” in general for the past persecution of Jewish people in the region. He pretty much says “these dirty Arabs can’t possibly be genocided hard enough” (paraphrased), and that’s when I put the book down.

I’m not sorry to say: I firmly believe that past atrocities committed against one population by another absolutely do not, in any way, provide a basis for or permission to perform any atrocities in recompense, especially not intergenerationally. Yeah, easy for me to say, being Caucasian, but also, I’m still Jewish, and queer, and disabled, so I don’t know what it’s like to live with daily racism, but I’m definitely not even actually that close to the top of the social hierarchy

Yeah but it’s a relatable sentiment, one I identify with personally as well. Maybe that can be the point
