This was the norm in poorer families BEFORE the pandemic :(

I think I quote “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado Perez constantly, but its never so apparent as it is now. The pandemic has only intensified that there is so much unpaid labor going on and that without major changes, this will only be exacerbated.

The first time my brother ever cleared a dirty dish off the table was when he brought his then gf/future wife home for the first time. I almost fell off my chair. He was 25 at the time. 

And yet again, we have another dumb celebrity who is ok with injecting silicone, but vaccine that saves life, nop.

One of my husband’s co-workers has said he will quit if he’s forced to get vaccinated, because he doesn’t feel he’s a huge risk of getting sick, or that if he does, he will be just fine.

There is ONE (1, eins, un, daya, en, ngoe) legitimate reason for not getting the vaccine, and that’s if getting the vaccine itself would kill you. And there are people like that, but for the most part, their immune systems are so delicate (chemo, mast cell disease, etc.) that they’re not working in hospitals or with…

This. And fuck any supposed 'religious exemption', too. 

I kind of feel like if you’re a medical professional and refuse to get vaccinated, you should have your license to practice revoked.

The really interesting thing is that 99% of these people would probably support at will employment laws, if they actually knew they were. Then they would argue the exact opposite of at will employment for this situation. They would also see absolutely no irony in the situation, because they have no ability to reason.

That has been the worst part, between that and police refusing to enforce restrictions, what the hell are people paying them for?

Get vaccinated you ignorant fucks, or we’ll break out the dart guns. 

I always wondered how she put on that jacket. Like was it one boob at a time or what?

But to a certain extent that’s her own fault.

I totally agree. I actually find it more objectionable- having .2% Sephardic DNA or whatever doesn’t make you Jewish. It doesn’t mitigate failing to meet with Jewish constituents previously or failing to seriously address issues that affect Jewish constituents, like those constituents getting beaten up and harassed…

Like how Justin Amash voted with Democrats against federal budget cuts because the cuts weren't deep enough. I'm sure he thought he was making some principled stand, but the vote tally doesn't give a shit. He was a libertarian who stood with Democrats. He got nothing out of his no vote. 

It’s like those stupid Ancestry.com commercials. If you needed a DNA test to determine whether you should wear a kilt or lederhosen, you’re not as “in touch” with your culture as you think you are. But dipshits will still claim nationality of a country they’ve never been to and didn’t know about until they spit in a…

What was tough about this vote?  If she is so concerned about the plight of Palestinians as to be moved to tears by how easily this funding got passed, it would seem that voting “No” would be a no-brainer. What was driving the conflict between her head and heart?

Are you serious? Do you not understand human behavior at all? If Israel might face actual consequences for ratcheting up provocations with Palestinians, they might be less inclined to do so. Case in point, in the situation in May, the first volley of rockets Hamas fired at Israel after the incident at Al Aqsa mosque…

I think it looks significantly worse than voting “no,” whether someone supports her position on Iron Dome or not. To people who support her position, she looks disingenuous and milquetoast. To people who don’t support her position, she looks disingenuous and milquetoast. It looks deliberately deceptive but also…

Her logic makes no sense, frankly. If she thought that voting no on the Iron Dome funding was going to cost her that seat, I don’t know why she would think that voting “present” is magically going to preserve whatever support she thinks voting “no” would have lost. Especially when she then comes out and says all of…
