“When Chrysler made that one car that looked just like a Bentley...”

I feel you, the US likes to think of itself as a “democracy,” but it’s really more of a constitutional oligarchy. Though, I think there are far greater issues impeding American democracy than the selective service.

The draft is the only way to “quickly” raise an army of 10 Million +. That’s what it takes to fight a war on multiple fronts. While under the current geopolitical climate, such a war is unlikely, but I don’t believe for a second that humanity is done with large scale war. The selective service is harmless, and it’s…

“No matter how this issue is addressed, from either side, there are going to be casualties (figuratively, of course). The only difference is that more white men will “suffer” as a result and to the modern PC society, that’s an acceptable risk.”

California: not just beaches and Yosemite! We’ve got MS-13 too!

Same at my high school, though in NorCal. Saw a dude get stabbed my freshman year...

Pretty much this. I’d be willing to accept this argument if there was some evidence that restrictive dress codes were effective in mitigating harassment/assault, but this doesn’t seem to be the case.

“There are some film adaptations that surpass their source material—Lord of the Rings, for example—”

She’d be perfect!

I’ve heard the “can’t find the clit” line so many times over the course of my life, it must be a common problem... but REALLY? I guess I haven’t fucked enough frat bros or something...

Having a semi-sentient sex slave robot is def creepy, but I look at the whole issue from a simpler perspective. Dudes that make up the potential market for stuff like this are really just looking for the “girlfriend experience” with women who would never give them a second glance IRL. A prostitute that looks as good…

I’d argue that all homogeneous communities are inherently distrustful of outsiders and cultural change. Part of this is rational, in the sense that diversity necessitates the dominant culture being forced to relinquish it’s hegemony. People fear the end of their way of life. Its easy to talk a big liberal game when…

I feel like this phenomenon is often overlooked in progressive discussions/spaces. Interestingly enough, as more and more people migrate to western and norther European countries, far right and nationalist political organizations are gaining more influence. It’s easier to achieve consensus in mostly…

It was a plea deal, he didn’t plead guilty to murder. Still a little light for manslaughter. This is the DAs fault, not the law’s.

Only real way to get the cops to stop shooting people is to disarm them or disallow the use of lethal force in all situations where they are not being directly fired upon.

Same. All these “omg expensive” comments got me wondering where people live.

It’s not paying more though... 1brs are like $3200 in NYC. I guess you can find Sub-$2k apartments in Flatbush or something...

It’s $1375 for the SRO units, $2k for the small studios. Probably cheaper than a 2br in the East 90s.

hetero sex is violence.

I think she meant this in the sense that - if there’s no emotional connection, why be exclusive?
