Here's the article incase someone actually wants to read about this boring man.

Isn't this the same as what Israel has been doing with Birthright?

If he really respected the troops he'd kneel down and drink that hero's piss. Just another fake patriot.

"Just a cone" sounds like a cone with no ice cream to me, so yes, that sounds weird to me.

"Stiff breeze" sounds kinda gay.

The labels have the character's name followed by 受 (uke), which means being the receptive or passive partner, or in BL slang means the bottom. Most underrated organizational system ever by the way. Please show this to anyone who claims that "unwoke" Japan doesn't "shoehorn queerness into everything".

It really is depressing how eternally relevant this meme format is.

I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.

Last year, I discovered that I have something in common with Biden. No, I don't mean I should be executed for my crimes against humanity (although I'm sure some of you tankies will beg to differ); I discovered that we are both using CPAP to treat sleep apnea. I struggled with chronic sleep deprivation for around three years until I finally got diagnosed and started CPAP around 18 months ago. I want to try to avoid being ableist, but as someone who has personally experienced impaired memory and reduced neurological ability from untreated sleep apnea, I know full well what it can do.

I do not know the full details of Biden's treatment, but articles suggest that he only started CPAP last year despite being diagnosed in 2008. Maybe it's unfair to speculate about his personal health, but it seems like there are one of two possibilities.

  1. Like roughly 50% of CPAP users, he struggled to adapt to it and quit within the first year, but had to give it another chance after his health inevitably deteriorated.
  2. A CPAP was unnecessary at first, as he could manage his symptoms through undergoing surgery or using a dental device, but they progressed (as they generally do with age) to the point where he needed to start CPAP therapy.

In either case, he was probably sleep deprived for some time before his doctors noticed and advised him to start CPAP therapy. It can also often take at least six months to overcome sleep deprivation (it took more than 18 months in my case), and even longer to repair the damage it caused.

My sleep apnea is likely much worse than his, but I'm also half as old as him, and I would not describe my memory as fine. I never expect to remember important information unless I write it down immediately, and I sometimes struggle to remember the names of people I've worked with for several years. I've just had to accept that dealing with my poor memory is part of managing my symptoms. I don't think he deserves to be mocked, but I think he should accept that his memory is far from fine.

And one she's probably completely unqualified for. I can only assume that the meritocracy loving conservatives will come out against this nepo baby diversity hire.

Does this guy seriously think no white English men have ever taken their shirts off in public, or that they don't sing or chant at football matches?

Climate change is making the Middle East uninhabitable. This can only lead to two different outcomes for the state of Israel. We will either see a second holocaust by Israelis choosing to remain in their unsafe homeland, or their citizens will have no choice but to flee and once again be dispersed among other states, undermining the Jewish people’s right to self-determination.

Do not be fooled by so called pro-Israeli American Jewish conservatives who receive funding from fossil fuel companies. There’s a very good reason Ben Shapiro defends Israel from the comparative safety of America, all while enabling the fossil fuel industry to bring about the downfall of the Jewish state. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

You may wonder what lead to this, so I must confess that I made the mistake of claiming that Palestinians deserve basic human rights (my exact words were "I support an end to the occupation.")

Erm, actually, the IDF has gaydar and uses it to keep queer people safe. I heard it from Biden himself, so it's true!

Naturally, they'll also be dropping bombs on the homes of anyone who writes/hosts for The Daily Wire.

[-] Umechan@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

Even if someone might be hypothetically homophobic, I still do not support an apartheid and ethnical cleansing.

Even if we didn't accept that, what point are these conservative pundits actually trying to make? That we should support the murder of bigots/people with ideological differences? In that case, who's going to tell them that they'd be the first to go?

"Should we tell they/them?"

Not how pronouns work. They is only used to indicate a grammatical subject.
