40,000 Southern Californians ordered to evacuate amid threat of chemical explosion
[Interviewer:] This toxic chemical that was involved in the incident in orange county this week…
[Dumbass:] Yeah, the one the valves fell off?
[Interviewer:] Yeah
[Dumbass:] That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
[Interviewer:] Well, how is it untypical?
[Dumbass:] Well, there are a lot of these toxic chemicals going around all the time, and only once every couple years does anything like this happen … I just don’t want people thinking that these chemical tanks aren’t safe.
[Interviewer:] Was this tank safe?
[Dumbass:] Well I was thinking more about the other ones…

US employers spend more than $1.5bn a year to fight labor unions, report finds
Well yeah. I mean. In modern times you could say workers have been fighting this battle since the mid 1700s I think. And further back even ancient Rome had a shipbuilders guild that took care of its members. Everybody who's anybody knows unions are good for workers. And when everything you earn must be taken from others, that's a bit much to ask of today's billionaires

Pentagon doubles down on Canada rebuke with demand for NATO spending road map, F-35 decision
Should never have entered the deal for these fucking planes anyways. America is an awful trading partner I doubt we can trust with the military engineering support for these things, nevermind the killswitch "boogie man" fears.
There must be some vote of non confidence we can just not continue this contract with.
EU is the only way forward. Should have gotten gripens instead of 35s

Pretty sure even a VPN does nothing if you're on a cellphone as well isn't it?
Like all cellphones carry a unique identifier, that's how, say, reddit can keep you banned even if you start a new account under new email and a vpn.

Think they saw the photo of kamala and decided it was because she's a woman, ignoring the rot that is Israel entirely.
America is definitely a bit too concerned with genitalia though, so whatever. They said what they said

Bipartisan Opposition Grows Against Trump’s $1.8 Billion Slush Fund
Just making the appropriate noises until it goes through and everyone starts yelling at their constituents "who cares about that anymore you're a bad person what a disgusting question", or whatever level blatancy they feel they can get away with.
Bipartisan opposition, my ass. Even the Dems will hem and haw after a certain amount of bluster before ultimately losing by exactly one vote.
The opposition party is just a bunch of pillows stuffed under a blanket to look like a sleeping person. Not even sleeping on the job just MIA

They're Called 'Super Pollutants'—And Trump's EPA Wants to Expose You to More of Them
“It’s nice that they are paying attention to affordability, but if they want to make a difference, it’s tariffs and the Iran War,"
Buddy, guy, friendo. Corporations. Do not. Give back. Profit margins.

Photochrom of the Auld Brig O'Doon, Scotland, UK, ~1900
I can never decide if I'd prefer what we have now over what we had then. Certainly there's a great deal to be said about now, but..
But on the other hand the downsides are extremely not ideal at all whatsoever across virtually all time periods and I'm far more likely to suffer than not, given a random birth.
Man does society ever just get to you some times.

Acting Navy secretary: Taiwan weapons sales paused to ensure munitions for Iran war
Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said Thursday the U.S. is pausing a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan because of the Trump administration’s war with Iran.
Speaking during a Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing, Cao insisted the U.S. still had “plenty” of missiles and interceptors, even as scrutiny grows over America’s dwindling munitions stockpiles.
“Right now we’re doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury — which we have plenty."
Lol. If this guy ain't sweating he's got a condition

Well I'm not sure how else they keep you banned. I was fine on my desktop under a new account and email but even with a VPN and fresh accounts it banned me, sometimes within seconds on my cell phone. Got a new phone like a year later and could get an account (obv)

Men, where do you stand on the idea that you bear some of the responsibility in regard to how men of the past have behaved and the society they helped create?
This question is a refraction of women's lived experiences viewed through the lens of a man-as-bystander and is, in my opinion, entirely erroneous by its nature, as asked. What's being tiptoed around is, for example, how men and women both tell girls that you can't trust boys. The men in a young woman's life know what boys want and they'll go out of their way to make macho noises about protection and shotguns on porches but not always will the educate the young men in their lives. And then as they grow up, women are raised seeing men let off of high profile rape charges so as not to ruin their promising careers, they see the stigma of single mothers, they see men taking away their rights to abort rape babies, they see alot. And they see it often and are forced by circumstances to think about it, always. "Am I safe?"
Their extended female friend groups have stunning amounts of sexual assault victims, something absurd like 70% of all women in the United States.
Like. The reality of the situation is that men are a vague threat right up until they either prove themselves to be an immediate threat or not a threat after all.
You get to choose how you feel about that but you do not get to pick and choose the reality we share, and the reality is men have a collective reputation, and have collectively earned their place as a general threat to safety and each and every one of us has to make peace with our place in that, and the only thing we can do is do right or do wrong by the women in our lives.
Same as it ever was, really. We can only be responsible for ourselves and recognize that part of women being responsible for themselves is being wary of men, to different extents, as a rule.
Men can't tell girls what to expect from boys and then be mad when they grow up not to trust men, but neither should we grow up being viewed as potential criminals. Until young men are thoroughly and consistently taught how to not harm women and to truly believe in the actions and mindsets required, women have no choice to see 'Men' as a potential threat. You could meet 20,000 men in a year and only be raped by one, but you've still got next year, right? That's the reality
Feel free to correct my numbers, I assure you the reality is worse
