A square diaper?

It’s from Legend of Korra. They probably saw their kids watching it.

So the gloves are sadistic and cruel, but we’re okay with taser guns which work at long distance?

The fight against that word has always been stupid. Calling someone stupid or a moron or an idiot is literally the same as calling someone retarded, but we’re okay with all those words. “OH but saying retarded is worse”, by what metric? You’re still saying the person is mentally deficient. That they’re incapable of performing basic thought processes and tasks.

I have never once heard someone with those problems say that they felt any of those words hurt less.

Yup. Haven’t applied to other government jobs, but I’m guessing DOGE left its mark everywhere.

I don’t know what they even expected me to say. Like, it’s a firefighter job, what do you want me to do, use less water?

My point was that to accomplish its goals it needs to accept that (past a certain point) fighting for women as it’s main goal is self defeating. It’s hard to get individuals that are struggling just as much or more than women as a group to fight primarily for women’s equality.

Think of it like fighting gravity. You can get pretty far with wings and a propeller, but at some point a complete change in tactics is necessary. Some feminists really don’t want to understand that.

I feel like now is a good time to mention I applied for some kind of wildfire firefighter position locally, and got rejected.

I wonder if it’s because I said “fuck you” to the questionnaire on how I would contribute to government efficiency…

reads comment history Jfc, you’re just addicted to downvotes, aren’t you?

As always, we’ll get downvoted by the “Free the nipple! … No we didn’t actually mean it!” crowd.

Well fuck her for walking back “defund the police”.

Ai has ruined the name Al.

Yeah, that’s kinda where I’m at. It’s hard to get people that have to worry about making enough to survive to worry about what some middleclass person is struggling with 100 miles away.

That’s why until the recent backsliding, I’ve thought for awhile that feminism has kinda run its course. Most issues feminists have are either a symptom of capitalism run amok, or shitty people in general getting away with sociopathic behavior. The intersectionality stuff tried to amend that, but at the end of the day it’s a band-aid solution to a bigger issue.

I’m not putting up with NYT website’s bs, so I’m not sure what SHE’S defining as crazy, but I do think the messaging I was hearing a decade ago absolutely pushed many people to the right.

Good luck getting a minimum wage factory worker pulling double shifts to think that some woman lawyer getting paid less than her male counterparts, or buying more expensive razors than men, is among the main social issues to focus on.

Basically what I’m getting at is that it’s like climate change. Yes, we could all make changes to improve our world, but fuck you for telling me my tiny ass car is killing the planet when we have millionaires flying around in private jets every day and throwing up data centers on every plot of land!

“Don’t talk me, I’m empy!”

Ooh, new show to watch!

tiny seal claps 🙏

… Bazinga! Ridiculously loud laughing ensues

No, they made it very clear they wanted teachers to be able to “joke” about shooting their students.

Ngl the one upside to this project was the loss of the fancy private theater. Fuck that shit.

I tried replaying it recently. Was losing my mind at how limited it felt. Gotta wait until mission whatever to unlock the one thing you wanted to do today!

That and the missions felt boringly grounded. That worked for RDR2, but I don’t want to follow a Prius in a slowass semi, I want to blow up cars!

When you tell lemmy users that teachers joking about shooting their students is bad, actually.
