the only way to stop him is throw him in jail for contempt which Trump knows they’ll never do— so he’ll never stop. The worst the court has the guts to do to him I stop fine him, and that only means his dumbass followers will be directly (further) funding the witness tampering/harassment and incitements to violence.
In the ensuing hours, the county posted a series of evacuation orders on Facebook as the fire spread through the town.
This appears to be just a small piece of the story, not like it was responsible for the disaster, but… is this implying that Facebook is considered a primary ergency alert system? I don’t know how anyone can consider that anything but GROSSLY negligent.
Maybe I’m desensitized, but I honestly don’t remember any gay moments in this movie. There are obviously plenty of guys wearing really “flamboyant” outfits, but it was contrasted with their toxic masculinity (i.e. behavior mostly associated with the types of people who actually tend to be homophobic), which is what made it so goddamn funny.
And I also have no idea what they’re talking about with promoting body transformation. Unless you know going in that the one actress is trans, you might not even guess she is. The main joke that even references genitalia is making fun of the fact that the Barbie and Ken dolls have nothing there…
And all this is beside the point anyway. Modern societies shouldn’t be catering to the precious feefees of religious/conservative snowflakes. They can just choose not to see this movie instead of ruining it for everyone.
I think the argument is that allowing women agency and asking men to define themselves through something other than their relationship with women is gay. So basically, violating patriarchy is gay.
I saw it in the trailer too but just in case, upcoming spoiler: maybe the whole beaching each other off scene? I can’t think of any others besides that, which if it is the one, then that’s kind of funny in a ridiculous way.
Good point, but I feel like they could probably just translate that scene without having the innuendo (like the direct translation for “beach off” probably doesn’t sound anything like the translation of “beat off”, so it would become more of a whimsical non sequitur directly translated).
I think there’s a fair amount in this movie that doesn’t really translate well outside American/Western culture anyway. For me, that scene was funny because it’s repeating a pun that points to the Ken characters’ innocence when in the real world, they’d be mocked mercilessly by some people. And it forces the audience to think about their own reactions when insecure straight men sometimes follow sentences like that jokingly with, “no homo,” to point out that, despite unintentionally saying something that sounded kind of gay, they are not in fact gay. At any rate, I don’t see this scene as an endorsement of homosexuality, but rather a commentary on society’s fixation on hypermasculine language.
That Marine is fucked. The UCMJ is a heartless bitch over minor infractions. I can't imagine what's waiting for this guy over sexual assault of a minor.
I grew up not far from here and yeah, after storms this is not uncommon to see, sadly. It’s such a mess there with the oil & gas companies, chemical plants, and refineries. They offer good paying jobs for men with just a high school diploma. They’re highly sought after, but they’re destroying the state between dredging, spills, leaks, etc. The fishermen and other seafood industries are hurt by it, as well as the wetlands and environment, but the residents just can’t quit the addiction. And the state offers subsidies and rebates and tax breaks to the big companies, so Louisiana isn’t even compensated the way they should be, like in other states. It sucks and that’s why “Louisiana brain drain” is a real thing that just makes the problem worse. So many young people who get a higher education in other areas leave soon after because they know they have brighter futures elsewhere.
Have some perspective, the middle east has been radicalized by war since the time the west hated gays and people of color. But now since the majority of Western powers has progressed past this for like 10 years out of the last 80 that we’ve been involved in these conflicts, they’re the savages?
It would be much easier for civil discourse to mature in these countries if most of the people weren’t traumatized by the predominantly Christian imperialist countries.
Unfortunately, conflict is always going to be more common in the middle east. The North American center of command [NOR-COM] barely touches the south American COM. America itself, shares borders with only two countries that it’s allied with.
The middle east COM has 3 COMs around it, the most of any other. The geopolitics of this implies the other COMs are going to meddle in their affairs the most, since they’re the buffer to other rival COMs
Good behavior is about having empathy, not mocking how people view the entire universe. I don’t like how the middle east isn’t as progressive as the west, and I don’t like how they don’t have as much empathy for gay people as the west does now. But mocking an entire religious community - a community that extends far beyond the middle east - for not being peaceful, doesn’t make sense when the west succeeded in bringing imperialism to the entire world. Especially when the west hated gay people for most of that time.
It’s easier to discuss these issues when you don’t have to worry about your school being bombed the next day. It’s easier to have empathy for the western values of diversity, while not having to worry about the west bombing you because of religion
Hmm. Is there a particular reason why you would associate Islam with warfare? I am asking you because you assumed I was being sarcastic without clarifying first.
Oh feel free to get in another whataboutism rant. You must be feeling the itch by now.
Lol you’re dumb, you don’t have an argument you’re just shit talking. But keep talking about what abouttism as if you know anything about logical fallacies
I’ve never actually heard anyone use that line except people in alt-right circles, and I am around a lot of Muslims. It is not a term Muslims use to describe their religion, not that they would describe it differently, just that it is a strange description. It would be like calling Canada “the country of peace”, which I guess is technically true because most countries want to avoid war and promote peace? But does not mean their military is non-violent.
The line is clearly used for the intent of creating a false contrast to make some made up point about hypocrisy.
Also as the other commenter pointed out, you are making a critique about the middle East, everyone agrees the middle East is dysfunctional.
Um, islam and peace in Arabic both come from the Arabic root س ل م, so to say that they aren’t related is just wrong.
Most religions have/had a very strong violent aspect directly related to them. (Crusades, Israel’s Torah “backed” colonization, India creating a hindu state, etc.).
Everyone is free to believe what they want but imposing something on others is not cool :/
I don’t like centralized religions either, and I think I agree with your points. But I’m just saying the line “The X of peace” is either so generic that it is a bland description of any ideology. All ideology hides it’s violence behind self defense, and are therefore “peaceful”. Or it implies that they are particularly peaceful, so it’s a description of non-violent. But few ideologies would identify as non violent, and so they would not use that term to describe themselves.
You can choose to upload your own image instead of using a thumbnail pulled from the article, so I suspect that might be what OP did. To get attention, maybe?
You can see this thread on the original instance, and notice that this thumbnail doesn't exist there. Kbin pulled this because another link that was posted around the same time had this thumbnail, and Kbin duplicated it for some reason.
EDIT: I don't really know how to report bugs properly, but if anyone knows how to see if this has already been posted on the project page, please feel free to do so.
I remember a bunch of years ago there was a day or so where Imgur had a bug that had randomly re-associated all of its URLs to other images. It was a fun sort of image roulette, if you didn't mind surprise pornography sometimes being the result.
