that's a very specific requirement

Not really when the topic at hand is Charlie Kirk and the guy that gave him a bunch of money to skip college and start TPUSA.

Aside from that, Bari Weiss does not own CBS. She was given her position by someone who can just as easily take it away, because whoever actually owns CBS decided it was convenient to their interests. Yeah she has a lot more power and agency than the rest of us, but she is still a subordinate. The spoils of her work belong to someone else at the end of the day.

Found, not run. We're talking about founders.

More like a minor dying from childbirth complications. But regardless, none of this works because they would never invite a woman to found a conservative media organization unless its explicit intent was to reach conservative women.

Sure, not saying it's impossible to secure funding. Just saying that it would pale in comparison to what billionaires are able to throw at organizations like TPUSA and you can't expect it to be at the same level or grow nearly as rapidly as a result.

This just sends the message that the validity of marginalized identities is conditional on the folks with those identities aligning with your beliefs, which is a double standard. You don't body shame someone in good shape because you disagree with their beliefs, you challenge and make fun of them on the basis of their beliefs.

Why should marginalized folks have to work any harder, on the basis of their identity alone, to earn equal standing with what you personally deem to be normal? This just gives away that you see these folks as "other" and only support them as far as they can personally benefit you.

And to be clear, I'm not just talking about fat people. Would you make dehumanizing jokes about Candace Owens or Clarence Thomas on the basis of their race? Why's it acceptable, then, to attack queer conservatives on the basis of being queer, or this guy for being fat? Why degrade your allyship just to go for low hanging fruit? Don't we want these things to become so normal that they cease to be questioned by even the most conservative parts of society?

Trust me, no fat person needs your help to feel ashamed of themselves. Whether it's actually the case or not that there would be no other motivation to not be fat if there was no shame associated with it.

Also what difference does it make to you if someone else is fat?? It's literally none of your business, why make it into a problem that needs solving?

Lmao. Who would fund it?

Breakfast is a social construct.

100% this.

Yes, it's important to eat in the morning

No. Hard disagree. It's important to eat period. It doesn't matter at all what time of day you do it (the one exception is late at night, a full stomach can affect your quality of sleep). Nutrition is nutrition is nutrition.

Assuming you're meeting your daily nutritional needs, just eat when you're hungry and don't force it if you're not.

  1. What evidence do you have to justify your assertion that Ukrainian culture, language, and identity were targets of destruction?

  2. In this case, yes??? If we're setting out to prove intent to commit genocide, both the actions and rhetoric of the accused are pretty important evidence. You don't really get one without the other, the rhetoric is necessary to justify the actions to the people who will ultimately have to commit them.

Recognizing statehood is a pretty base level of recognizing the humanity and sovereignty of those that occupy it, which the USSR would not have done for Ukraine if their intent was to wipe out the Ukrainian culture and national identity and replace it with Russian identity. As evidenced by Israel, genocidaires prefer their victims as defenseless and disorganized as possible. Colonizers don't recognize borders on land they seek to colonize. Israel has denied and undermined Palestinian statehood at every stop, literally rewriting history to support their narrative, because allowing Palestinians to have a state with any level of recognized sovereignty would be wholly counter-productive to Israel's colonial project.

So how do you explain Ukraine being granted statehood within the Soviet Union? If, by your account, the USSR went to all this trouble to brutally cleanse the land of Ukrainians and their culture by means of starvation, why did they then just leave the land to be looked after by a Ukrainian state? Why did they give up on this ambition for Russia to occupy Ukraine? Where else have you ever seen a colonizer just up and leave a colony, still mostly occupied by natives, and grant those natives full statehood in their union??? What you're claiming just makes no sense when put into greater context.

I think there's also a connection to produce size and nutritional density. Seems like plants don't actually generate/take up more nutrients to produce larger fruits. Rather, the added weight is mostly water and, apparently, sugars/carbs. I know next to nothing of horticulture so huge grain of salt to everything I say but if CO2 plays a fundamental role in a plant's storage of energy as sugars then yeah this all tracks.
