being totally realistic about it, a lot of people will buy the pills online. You can do that now in countries that have made it illegal thanks to a lot of great organizations. People aren’t as aware of this/as aware of the pill right now because they don’t need to be, but I imagine the word would get out pretty quick…

nothing that is happening is ~illegal~ though, as far as I’m aware? In which case the system of checks and balances, as it’s laid out here, is inherently flawed? It isn’t a system that really accounts for ever-devolving two-party extremism - it just assumed power struggles between court/presidency/congress, not that…

it comforts people to think that this society’s flavor of racism is “normal” rather than something specifically learned and taught

as messed up as it is, we need a system in place where neither side can just change the entire course of the country by having someone die at a lucky/unlucky time and maybe this is part of what gets that ball rolling. If it’s a shitty system we should be looking to change it, not just spend our time hoping the…

“Considering that at least two prominent Roman politicians fell in love with her I doubt she was “Nubian” as some people claim”

yeah - like it’s a valid point in itself, but the optics of a white man dictating how white women participate in the conversation is eye-roll inducing. They LOVE calling people as Karens and people constantly discuss the white woman stat, and not the white man stat, because it’s considered a given that white men are…

the epilogue is the worst part of the series. So cringe. It’s like how I would have paired them up in second grade. You get married and have baby, because you like each other ! :)

And when one considers the far-fetched dogma of organized religion, is Snapeism considerably stranger than anything in the Bible?

With tape measures in hand, they pretended to take men’s measurements on the street and mocked men they encountered by shouting “too small!”

I agree - my impression was that, at some point, he really was saying “never mind, no thanks” to his life being fatherhood & being a husband.

I think it’s kinda entertaining (age: 31), but I watch it with the understanding that a lot of people are just there for the free travel and publicity and then a few odd balls are actually taking it seriously. And it’s fun for the bizarre things people say or do to try and get attention.

yeah every parent should be 1000% responsible for the errors in judgment that their independent adult kids make otherwise it’s bad parenting

yeah she really came across as YOUNG and just not ready to handle the intense pressure that comes with the focus of millions of people rooting for a singular outcome for your life. Good thing her dad was there to say whoa Nelly in her defense

I did watch this season and at the time I did think it was kinda refreshing that he didn’t even give two shits about pretending to like three people at once when he didn’t.

I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong (obvi the way they went about it here, is wrong) to have an award or group “for women.” The experiences of different groups are just that - different - even if marginalization overlaps. Same as how we can acknowledge that the experience of being a black woman is unique, and can’t…

thanks, that definitely gave me some info to chomp on!

I think there could definitely be an argument made for this type of learning

this may be one of my more stupid Qs, but how much control does the pope actually have over the “government” of the church?

the irony is that I used to write product descriptions for luxury fashion.

the most iconic mother/daughter dual of all time continues to play out
