@eternallyRaq Yeah... usually the way it goes. I guess it depends on which pipeline they use – like, I guess they could start by targeting incarcerated people ("equally," in theory) & that would lead to it starting with men.
Either way, it'll definitely be *worse* for women.
@YouKnoImHim@acnewsitics But having loyalty to two countries isn't a crime, which is why dual citizenship isn't illegal, whereas treason is a hanging offense.
@vortexglitter@MattEurich Just based on how old he is, if he's a Cubs fan, he's a Cubs fan who went 60 years without seeing a world series win. Definitely might affect whether he believes in a loving God, just based on what I know about Cubs fans.
Robert Prevost was already working in Peru when Paddington Bear came forward with allegations of animal abuse. Was he part of the cover-up? What actually happened after that priest got caught with 1000 bottles of marmalade?
@exp_grinding @IfyNwadiwe I can see Ally stopping by Grant's apartment & seeing seven kilos of cocaine stacked in an open closet. “Game Changer?” Then Grant laughs nervously & says, “Yeah. Uhhh... Why else would I have— but it's cool if we just keep it between us, right?”
@adophie_@agraybee Not sure which OS you're running, but you should look into LibreOffice. It only exists because a bunch of nerds in the early 2000s decided there needed to be an open source version of Microsoft Office, but at least in in my opinion, it's been the better option for over a decade.
@josephh17457894@CyanSantoro@jeffhalm@meaning_enjoyer That's because the idea of separate generations has almost been nonsense. It managed to be a useful model exactly once, right after 16 million young men with undiagnosed PTSD came back from WWII & made a lot of babies at the same time. But then we never stopped using the model.
@prophiphop Nah… Anyone saying you're “clearly” missing something is full of shit. Your brain's trying to win the argument with a logical fallacy & hoping you won't notice – specifically, it's the bandwagon fallacy (or 𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚 𝑎𝑑 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑚, for the nerds.)
@boots_erik@robertliefeld I looked up the IMDB for the showrunner that left after Marvel decided not to make a terrible decision, and just glancing at some of the shows and movies he'd been put in charge of before, I think we really dodged a bullet with this one.
@womanthinker1 @PopBase United was being sued for monopolistic practices because they kept buying out competitors, so it's absolutely an intentional reference.
Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.
@Hot592023 @BonaFideMugsie @maddenifico The bubbly, ebullient Thank You gif is much appreciated; I take it in the spirit with which it was given 💜
(And I do feel quite pleased with myself for figuring out that I can get around Elon's weird, transphobic shadowban on the word ℃ishet with the Celsius symbol.)
@Hot592023 @BonaFideMugsie @maddenifico If anything, this is where we should interrupt the broadcast & remind our studio audience & all the viewers at home that what I said ought be the bare minimum. “I shouldn't get a say in deciding matters that do not concern me,” shouldn't merit the gold standard for male allyship.
