DNC ghouls only let Kamala run in the first place because they knew being left holding the bag after 4 years of the Biden disaster was a classic glass cliff situation. Her catastrophic loss will only cement this further, they'll not put a woman or anybody from a minority on the ticket unless it's a given that they'll lose anyway. If Hillary gets to see a woman become president before she gets dragged off to hell, it's gonna be Girlboss Hitler on a GOP ticket.

This is a classic example of a B film. Theatres back then had double features where you got two films for the price of one and the second movie was usually low budget stuff, and often relied on being a bit edgier than the usual fare to make up for the cheaper production. Video tapes only started to become a thing a decade after this, and didn't get really big until the 1980s.

Musteloids are an underrated treasure, gotta love the lil guys.

Yeah, it absolutely is absurd, but a ton of libs out there don't even clear that bar and will fold to transphobes as soon as they face backlash like that.

CW dairy, gastrointestinal disease

One of the main things that made me go vegan besides the bullying from comrades on here and my growing fascination with oat milk and other alternatives to an exploitative, speciecist diet was getting a fortunately mild lysteria infection from eating one too many of these runny French raw milk cheeses that are just pure ammonia bombs. Or in that case, a very impure ammonia bomb. This is a reminder that up to one in ten of these cheeses is contaminated with lysteria and i doubt it's any better when the milk doesn't get processed at all. But i guess that the raw meat crowd already has a pronounced addiction to kinetic diarrhea, adding the grossest stomach discomfort imaginable on top of that is probably a plus in their book.

Your cat may have basic tastes in entertainment, but she is elegant and beautiful.

When you've been a high-ranking figure in the genocide euphemistically referred to as the "war on terror" which has led to the murder of roundabout 4 million people, the displacement of many millions of people more, the complete public acceptance of unchecked mass surveilance, black site torture and extrajudicial drone killings of victims chosen by a dubious and completely intransparent algorithm, an atrocity which has laid the material and ideological foundation for the latest resurgence of fascism as well, it is not surprising at all that you're a raging racist asshole who looks like a milsurp Richard Dawkins.

At first i actually thought you meant sub as in a BDSM context, which worried me because i really, really do not want my subs to implode. Then i realized that's not it and wondered why a sandwich would have wifi. Only then i remembered this is about the next best thing in the world after unimploded submissives and delicious sandwiches, which is dead billionaires.

id say 4-5ish years on is when most people begin to radicalize a lot

pls god no i don't want to become an ultra

Nobody has called the entire community racist, the callouts have been exclusively to people like you defending a term that obviously plays with one of the most common racial stereotypes about East Asians. Taking a racist term out of context doesn't make the term not racist, it only means that a still racist term has gained even wider use.

I understand the sentiment, but "buying consent" is a difficult line of thinking when you follow it all the way through.

CW: SA

There's sex workers who are sexually assaulted by clients, some brothels have panic buttons in their rooms for this reason. So if you follow the "prostitution is legalized r*pe" line of thinking, what's that then? Wasn't the sex worker in question already violated when they entered the contract with the client? Is that a case of double sexual assault?

I don't think that idea holds much water in all cases. It often does, but you cannot apply it universally to all sex work. That's because you can't just "buy consent", a sex worker still has very specific conditons for giving you conditional consent that only extends to a select number of specified acts, to certain time frames, certain areas of their body and so on, and they can revoke that consent when things turn south because the john starts to behave badly. And ultimately, all consensual sexual acts are in some ways conditional, even if it's the unspoken agreements in vanilla heteronormative relationships. It takes a massive level of trust and the knowledge that your partner will always intuitively accept your boundaries to allow them to do what they want with you and actually mean it. And when i look at it that way, i do not think that you can just override somebody's ability to consent by giving them money. There is already some form of consent to these acts involved when somebody agrees to pick up that line of work. It's difficult to say where that ends, moreso than in sexual realtions outside of sex work, i'd fully agree to that, and that's highly problematic, but it's not as clearcut as "all sex work is a form of SA because you bought consent the sex worker normally wouldn't have given to you".

(rest of the post is just general musings not directed at you, comrade, i'm only putting them here because i think this works better in one post).

That said, i'm very much not a fan of people buying sex work, and yes, that includes porn. Sorry guys, i know that most of you can't nut on your own without this stuff, for reasons i've always failed to understand, but it's how it is. The reason for my attitude isn't that i disagree with sex work per se, my support actually always lies with the workers and puts their concerns first, which is why i DO NOT support failed approaches like the "Nordic Model", which aims to only punish buying sex work, but effectively worsens risks for sex workers, increases deportations of sex workers without papers etc. My concern rather lies with the inherent coerciveness of all transactional relations under capitalism. When you listen to a typical socdem SWERF like German SPD member Leni Braimeyer (surprise, she's also a massive terf), who is pushing for the "Nordic Model" instead of the legalized prostitution we see in Germany today, there is not only a total, ultra-patronizing lack of recognizing the agency of sex workers, there's also a complete obliviousness to the economic conditions that determine how prostitution works in Germany, as yet another form of exploiting the economic imbalances in the EU and supplying German capital with a constant supply of workers who have to take increasingly awful deals out of pauiperization and desparation, as well as an increasingly precarious situation for the lower incomes among the German working class. It's these conditions that give rise to prostitution as an area of mass exploitation, and ending capitalist relations is the only way to amend the problem that a majority of sex workers are in a lopsided economic situation that is the actual threat to their agency and their ability to fully consent.

The original version is but the cartoon one is particularly gigantic on other instances due to a bug that shows all emojis at their actual size outside of hexbear.
