Thank you. The fire at Notre Dame affected me in the same profound way that the fire at the museum in Sao Paulo did, or reports that ISIS had bombed Palmyra, or when the Taliban blew up the giant buddhas. These monuments transcend the religions they were built around and are important for all of humanity. It’s ok to…
Because you’re either with us or against us? Way to prove leftists can be just as reductive and extremist as the right. She can both condemn Trump, express concern for Omar’s safety while disagreeing with her views.
Nah, it’s the only way the Democrats can hope to win in 2020, in the middle of a worldwide rightward shift that’s seeing the rise of populist authoritarians everywhere, and has left wing parties in shambles everywhere. Pelosi’s smart enough to know that.
Um, the Obamas have always been centrists. The fact that Obama was called one of the most left-of-center Senators in the US is a testament to how largely conservative American politics are.
This is true. And it’s happening all over the world - the right wing, nationalism and populism are on the rise and left wing parties are in shambles. But I’ll take a centrist Democratic administration over 4 more years of Trump. Because I live in the real world and I take what I can get and which is feasible, rather…
It’s called compromise.
It’s the same with some communities in New York. For the most part NYC authorities have let them be but every once in a while they’ve had to step in and remind them they’re part of the world around them and can’t just ignore all the rules. The first time I remember was a couple of years after I’d moved to NY, there…
Half of all the stars to you, and half to the original comment.
Now that I get. Same with implants for reconstructive purposes.
Personally, even at my smallest, I wished I was even smaller. But like my comment makes abundantly clear, I am speaking only for myself.
Well, obviously. Also, understandable for reconstructive purposes too, like one of my best friends who had reconstructive surgery and implants after she had a mastectomy and oopharectomy because she had the cancer gene mutation and a history of aggressive breast and ovarian cancer in her family.
You think I wasn’t teased or made to feel self-conscious about my large breasts from the moment they started growing? Wrong. Men make women feel like shit for big and small boobs, for being too thin or too fat. Women too, for that matter. Physically though, a small chest is so much more comfortable and easy to dress.…
I am anti assange because he is a toxic narcissist from hell. I wouldn’t say I am pro Chelsea but I sympathise with her more and I think she had much better intentions. I also think she was treated inhumanely in prison and her original sentence was ridiculous. But I think Chelsea definitely also has narcissistic…
Having been naturally “blessed” with big boobs, I never understood why women would want them. They make you look fatter, clothes don’t fit right and they’re uncomfortable as hell. I dream of being flat chested and never having to even look at underwire ever again.
This is unfair but I very often find people like Chelsea - whistleblowers, militants, activists - highly annoying. I always want to roll my eyes at their dogged earnestness and militance. I guess you need to have a certain personality type to spend your while life pursuing those causes. And while I support some of…
That is exactly it.
I was about to comment that I loved his response. Americans feel such a need to label and categorise everyone. The whole identity politics movement is obsessed with it. I loved this response that he gave:
It’s only an issue in Illinois. It’s legal everywhere else, though personally I don’t think it should be legal anywhere
Not surprised. However this is actually legal and common everywhere in the US except Illinois and H&M are far from the only store to use this. I wish it were banned federally.
