"what part of the giant sniper mech do you work in?"

"the bodacious hips"

This sounds like a great idea to pass right before we elect a guy who's promised to be a dictator.

They've been doing this since the 2000s. I remember having to set up a proxy server at home just so I could connect to it and actually browse the Internet at school without every third site being blocked for no reason.

The problem is more why he changed his view: it affected him. There are people who change their views because they're curious and empathetic and finally get the time to look into an issue and see how it affects other people. Those are the people that deserve praise for changing their views, even if they used to be conservative shitbags.

I can't tell if that's a legitimate misspelling or some special sovcit concept.

The American left is furious at Biden for the same reason we're angry at pretty much any President's foreign policy. We've opposed most of the interventions and support for dictators that presidents in the latter half of the twentieth century up to today have engaged in. But we have never been the majority, and haven't had the power to stop them. It's important to remember that about a third of the US is composed or pretty reasonable, pro-peace social democrats. The problem is that another third are "moderates" that are okay with empire as long as we pretend we're being nice, and the last third are maniacal religious fascists.

We should literally be doing everything AMLO is asking for, regardless of this deal. I know the guy is a bit of a blowhard, but it's good that Mexico actually has a leader that has policy goals that benefit Mexico and the rest of Latin America, rather than an American stooge.

This is weird because lots of Amish communities let people have cell phones, you just can't use it in the house.

People should be allowed to wear what they want. That said, nobody should voluntarily wear these terrible symbols of sexism and oppression. The literal religious purpose of the abaya and even the hijab is to promote modesty, with the rationale that men can't control themselves and it's women's responsibility to do that for them. Fuck that message and fuck the ideology that it perpetuates.

This doesn't quite work because one of the four noble truths of Buddhism is literally "there is suffering."

I'm an adjunct professor. The only reason I have health insurance and get paid a reasonable wage is due to the hard work my union puts in. Non-unionized people in my position live on absolute poverty wages and have to work twice as hard to survive. Any young person who dislikes unions is a bootlicking moron.

I hate the word "home" in a real estate context. You do not buy a home. You buy a house and make it a home by living there with your family.

Similarly, "houselessness" is a dumb euphemism because what homeless people lack is literally a home, not just a house.
