DSA: “hey, Biden sucks because he lets genocide happen”

Rational person: “well, I don’t like genocide… who’s the alternative?”

Dem party: … Biden is our candidate …

Rep party: Trump Trump Trump!!!

What they don’t tell you is that most American Jews on the super religious part of the spectrum love trump because he explicitly endorses Israel as well, and Bibi is the same friend of right wing extremists/dictators that Trump is.

Personally, I’m not pro Palestine. I’m anti Hamas AND anti Bibi… Just Pro peace and both govts don’t want that for different reasons.

It’s not great but I honestly like it. For a few reasons

1. It forces me out of the house to get my full 10k steps in. Which I never get when I wfh due to my ADHD and putting it off.

2. I always feel if my coworkers are online I’m hesitant to ping them because they may be busy and I don’t wanna bother them. If in the office, I can see if they’re not that busy and have been able to say hi.

3. I have a toddler and when she’s not in daycare she, or my partner, likes to come in and break my flow

We’re 3 days a week in which is good and bad since I def am able to see most coworkers at least one day a week and also have two days I can wfh and either leave early or have an easy morning, but is weird due to when people come in.

1000% agreed on no hello. Got constant "hello"s from many team members. They’d even wait for me to reply before sending messages… Only figured that out after my boss brought it up in a 1:1 … I just thought they realized the answer to the question.

I’m not talking about “sitting in your chair thinking” times. I’m talking about those micro BS conversations that people have around the office just to relieve from the monotony and try to bond. “Oh I spent last night playing this game/watching this show/ etc.” or right after a meeting.

Few things for the family

• Malcolm gets called out by EVERYONE of the main characters and major side characters at one point or another in the series for his crappy attitude… It’s a running joke by the end of it…
• This is one of those fox “see! the poor don’t have to be poor, they just need gumption and having less kids” shows… (Bones is another ex.)
  • Malcolm’s always whining and it causes him to lose out on many major opportunities (both relationship-wise and career-wise)
  • Hal says they have sex several times a day, even when they’re camping with another family. Thus he’s always tired and can’t concentrate
  • In one episode, Lois and Hal have to stop having sex for a week because of some medical issues, the grass gets attention and turns green, hal gets a promotion, and they stop being so trashy. All in one week. Once the issue is gone and they can have sex, everything goes back the way it was, grass looks like shit, house is a wreck.
  • In one episode they show how each time they have a kid, the parents lives get progressively worse.

I’m not sure if this is supposed to support or counter my point.

It sounds like you’re supporting it because it’s brainwashing you to think, “meh. Work sucks. Just deal with it and don’t try to improve it”

It reminded me of another point that in one episode when Hals company is trying to frame him for something the big wigs did… you find out that he’s never worked a friday in years. So him lacking commitment to try his hardest actually works in his favor. … As well as the fact that he matters so little that nobody noticed.

Bones had a lot of subtle things … Each character has some weird quirks that almost always has the future conservatives would tell them.

(Spoilers for a 10 year show)

If the top of my head …

• Both of the women (bones and the hot girl intern) who were proud of having a lot of premarital sex end up accidentally getting preggo and don’t even think of not keeping it
• The super duper rich guy, although he loses all his money due to outside circumstances, he works his ass off all the time, and becomes super duper rich again
• The only “poor” later season intern is a southern guy (ya know, from “real America”) who works hard and gets rich by capitalizing on his family stuff
• The sexy “free spirit” artsy girl is an airhead in most areas of life.
  • Forgets she was actually married, (and secretly wants the black guy more than the rich white guy)
  • She’s a programming genius, but her program gets hacked in the stupidest way possible
  • Of course she has an out of control hard rocking dad, who ends up getting drunk with her fiance and getting him tattooed (because you can’t trust drifter dads)
• The og intern is also poor, also works hard, but is not rich for two reasons >!He’s obviously on the autism spectrum and also turns into one of the multi-episode killers also showing to not trust people with mental issues!<

I’ll take it :)

As others have pointed out, the rules of competition don’t apply since there’s exclusive content at play.

As a metaphor, It’s not like one restaurant serving a popular type of food vs multiple restaurants doing so. It’s having one Italian, one Thai, one Chinese and one American restaurant being the only ones in 100 miles. Look! There’s competition, 4 restaurants! Unless you only want some pad Thai.

So now instead of fixing cables issue of $60-100/month, they made it more complicated by paying $60-100/month to 3-5 different companies instead of one.

As a real life example. If you have kids, or are a big Star wars/marvel fan, 9/10 you need Disney+. It may as well be a Monopoly now so they can raise their prices as much as they want. Parents and nerds will pay through the nose for it.

Fyi I don’t agree with the previous commenters ideology about two separate classes for women.

I however agree that we can’t discuss this rationally today because social media (including lemmee) is a terrible forum for this discussion, because, unfortunately, a person who is AFAB and has a DSD, or other naturally occurring condition, which gives them more or less testosterone/lactic acid/something else than the typical woman, and thus an advantage, gets conflated with having a trans woman compete, because then the people who feel strongly about trans people on both sides come out of the wood work and start yelling…

And then everyone gets pissed and/or understandardly triggered and nothing can be argued.

By naturally occurring I mean w/o the use of drugs/doping/surgery. Which in my understanding is what’s the case with the boxer.

I don’t post this to argue or convince. Just clarify what I think they’re trying to say.

I won’t respond to the “are they female”/“what to do” debate, only that this forum is terrible to have these debates.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk/soap box lecture

Apologies I meant the person you were originally replying to. I can see it being ambiguous.

I agree with you, this argument is dumb, sexist, and not fair.

I’m just saying this is just not a good forum to handle it.
