I’m not sorry, but if colors offend you, you might be really fragile and not as manly as you’d like to think

And if you use religion as an excuse to be a bigot remember your god made everyone and everything so hating colors kinda like saying you’re afraid of your own gods creations.

I was laughing at the thought of music being used, not the entire compound. But as someone linked an article explaining how much worse it is, I retract my statement of amusement ☹️

Oh ☹️… it’s way worse than I thought

No fucking way lmao what a wild additional punishment

I feel bad that this guy essentially martyr’d himself and I don’t really think it’s done anything to change Russian discourse. That being said this punishment is wild and something I would genuinely laugh at if it was happening in places like Guantanamo bay

Guess we’ll have to do nothing except condemn those nations to fight a bloody war again, sad

Anyone know how the cartels are making their money with most of America having legalized weed? Did they just diversify their portfolio a long time ago?

Well he’s not Chinese or Russian for one. And I think no matter your status you still should have basic human rights like privacy

It should be his right to not have his medical condition not blasted to the news the moment something changes. Don’t know why he should not have that right

Hence modern capitalism. If trade in general is capitalism then every system is capitalism

I understand what you’re saying, but these Chinese cultural aspects go back far further than modern capitalism. At least in china

I have several very close friends who are Chinese. Some from near Shanghai some from near Beijing. The reason they explain is much more cultural and not capitalist as some here suggest.

For one, it is extremely rough on women because young men act very spoiled and men in general have an abusive problem there. So they don’t want to have kids with these men and they don’t want to marry them either. Women are getting married much later with it not being completely unheard of to be 30 and unmarried anymore in China.

Second, it is also hard on women because of family. When they get married the man’s family is their new family essentially and they lose support from their blood family. This can be tough especially if the husbands family hates the woman (not that rare).

Third, divorce is still rare because of the culture of stick through it and be a good wife. Divorce is also hard when you have kids and there’s a lot of pressure to have kids right away when you get married. This is changing but it’s slow.

Finally, we arrive at feminism. This is a good change and women are realizing all the cultural problems and see they can be happier on their own and make big money on their own too. So why get married, why have kids when you can be happy by yourself?

So all in all it’s not bad changes, these are cultural changes most countries go through and I’m happy for the Chinese women and hope all goes well. If you have any questions or want me to elaborate just let me know.

I don’t think they’re coming home even if (and most likely) dead

I got paywalled, anyone have a bypass link?

Yup so you shouldn’t be surprised either

This has been a tactic since humans first waged war so I’m not really surprised here

That’s absolutely not what I had on my bingo card for 2024 but that’d definitely shake up the current crappy reality meta
