So you’re saying that millions of southerners died for an abstract concept? What rights did they feel were being trampled on that triggered this? Or was it just the threat of states rights not being respected?

Did anyone check if there’s a collagen elastin tomato?

So what states rights exactly was the south fighting to protect? What did they not want decided on the national level?

To be fair, Oregon was founded as an explicitly white territory/state, so at least it’s on brand.

People. With. Families. Are. Abused. In. Nursing. Homes.

It’s a literal fact that men are more likely to abandon chronically or critically ill spouses—that doesn’t mean that every man will do that, but it’s also a statistical fact. It’s the same as saying the majority of Americans are white—that’s not an ideological statement or a desired goal, it’s just a fact.

Lmao, no one being abused in nursing homes has a family the same way that no homeless lgbt youths have families either. Families can be a lot shittier than this dude realizes.

I mean the gag is you could have kids and they could choose not to take care of you and then you’re out the money it took to raise them AND nursing home fees. The number of older women I’ve assisted at work who were abandoned by their children or their families is not negligible.

Re: fraying: Check your tension as you knit—I find that happening when I’m especially stressed and taking it out on my yarn. You also might want to check out some other joining methods for the yarn ends—Russia joins or spit splicing can be much more invisible than other methods. Even if you can’t make the fraying…

Hey, if his friend wants it so easy, he can just have a (probably rapist) coyote smuggle him across the border, live in whatever apartment on the outskirts of town that will take payment in cash without a lease or any questions—oh, one that he can afford with his off the books food service or agricultural job. He’ll…

Why did they charge for an operating room on the 2nd day, in that case? Or was it routine for vaginal births to be done in operating rooms at the time? Genuinely unsure.

I mean, I’m not ~outraged~. Jonah Hill dealt with this like a baby. But if he had just acted like an adult, my takeaway would have been “oof. sucks for him”

you seem like a real fucking cunt

SHE STARTED THAT. She was the one who talked about buttfucking first

I’m a fat woman and I immediately saw it as a pretty thin person laughing at fattys.

But Dave Franco still fits into society’s beauty standards.

It 100% is. The power dynamic of the joke is not man-woman but ugly person-pretty person, fat person-skinny person. People here are all about intersectionality until they’re not.

You know who she reminds me of? All the socialist dudes I talked to in college at parties, who simultaneously wanted to condescend to me about how much better they understood social justice than I did while also condescending about how much purer and unconcerned they were with regards to actual political work. Ugly…

BROKE INTO HER HOME. My fucking god. I think violent home invaders should probably be watched for a good long time. The post you replied to sounds v v biased towards her family member.

It’s actually specific to the spousal relationship!
