Props to the guy at the front of that pack. He seems to be completely nude, judging by the transparent ponchos he had on.
I didn’t think them wearing transparent ponchos breaks the principle of nudity. But some of them have underwear on. But even that is less than I would have on, so respect to them all regardless!
Based on that thumbnail, some of them don’t understand the concept of nudity.
While I was reading the article several jokes came to mind. But then I read that most of the women were intimidated by him and scared of coming forward because they felt he would make life hell for them. Which also suggests he might have forced himself on them. So it seems like this guy isn’t a ‘playa’. He’s just an abusive piece of shit.
Well there was that incident on the campaign trail about 10 years ago when his daughter recoiled in disgust when he went to kiss her.
His poor kids. I can’t imagine how gross it must be to have him for a father.
I stopped trying to rationalize these people’s ‘reasoning’ a long time ago.
Not quite the same, but when my wife was a kid, some of her hardcore fundie neighbors ran up MASSIVE loan and credit card debts on the lead-up to one of these rapture dates in the '90s. They thought that since they would soon be chilling with Jesus in Heaven they wouldn’t have to face financial consequences. It financially ruined them and they lost everything.
List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results, then the people who anticipated this latest failed prediction are absolutely, frothing at the mouth, street corner screaming certifiable.
But then I think we all already knew that.
Let the backpedaling begin!
How long before the Presidency starts hosting monster truck themed executions at the Whitehouse? It can’t be much longer now.
There’s are still some consumer TVs out there that allow you to use the green without an Internet connection. Although they are kinda rare these days.
Sony Bravia. Because I just did this last year. My old TV was also a Bravia, and it lasted about 15 years. One big selling feature for me was that you can set it up as either a smart TV, or a ‘basic’ TV that doesn’t require an Internet connection and doesn’t pester you for one.
Obligatory “OrDeR cRaCkEr BaRgLe!!1!” meme reference.
Here’s a logo comparison of old to be, because the article didn’t for it for some reason:
Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don’t realize it’s him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.
This brings up another facet: when it comes to ideological biases it’s all subjective.
I consider lemmy.world slightly left of center overall, but again with important caveats that some communities within it are pretty left wing and some are pretty right wing. But maybe to someone pretty far on the left of the political spectrum the instance seems very right wing, while to someone pretty far to the right it seems like almost everyone are ‘rabid pinko commies’.
Basically, things are more complicated than they may look.
This probably sounds like a dodge of an answer, but…
It depends on the Lemmy instance. Some are anarchistic, some are very left wing anti-establishment, some are hardcore tankies, and I’ve heard somewhere there’s a right-wing instance? Some hate certain technologies, some love those technologies, etc.
I don’t think it’s realistic to lump all Lemmy instances (and users) together under a single ideological umbrella. That’s like lumping everyone from America or any other county together for their opinions.
Bingo.
“B-but everyone is leaving California!!1!”
To the people saying this: yeah, dream on. Step away from the hard right-wing media and look around. It’s a myth.
Yes there are some people leaving the state for places like Texas and Florida (sorry, but fuck knows why!). But there are still a ton of people here in CA, there are still people moving here, and there are still kids being born here. We are a loooong easy from a mass exodus of economy crippling proportions.
A few counterpoints to the circumcision pros that you mentioned:
Circumcision rates are dropping across America. In some areas they ared dropping faster than others, but from what I recall the get are basically dropping everywhere to some degree. So I expect bullying about it is on the decline as it becomes less common.
Also, the simple fact is that bullies will find any reason to be shitheads. So if it’s not circumcision it’ll be something else.
Any straight women who are grossed out by a natural penis are idiots, and your kid will be dodging an asshole bullet if they do reject him over that.
Better to let him decide if he wants to get it cut later or leave it uncut than to take away his free agency.
