@nikicaga The reason Brits didn’t stay in India is more because of British policy making it virtually impossible for them to put down roots for most of the colonial period so that British settlers wouldn’t form an independent power base and leave the empire like the settlers did in America
@MadelaineLucyH The fact they have children is an argument to keep them in prison - it’s really hard to imagine they are better off growing up with violent misogynistic child pornography enthusiasts in their lives
@Xanaxretard2 I really don’t understand why people buy bartenders drinks - habitually drinking while you work will obviously wreck your professional life and health. If you want to do something nice for them, just give them a tip
@nikicaga Playing games on the computer sometimes is completely compatible with full time work - no reason to believe this person isn’t planning on working as well
@hecubian_devil So many of these comics I have seen are basically like ‘You agree with 95% of what I want but not 100% and also don’t want to have sex with me? Fuck you, you’re a transphobe too!’
@allie__voss Just because someone else’s life is harder doesn’t mean that your feelings about your own aren’t valid. How would the mum react if the daughter told her to STFU about sacrificing her dreams because peasant farmers in South Sudan work longer hours and live in huts?
@nikicaga I really hate to defend a Russian but this does just seem like someone came into her shop and abused her when she hadn’t done anything to them.
@allie__voss A lot of the homesteading activities you see on social media are probably fun the first couple of times and then incredibly monotonous and boring after that
@allie__voss These guys were manipulated into doing something completely reasonable - trying to flirt with an attractive woman who has specifically told them she finds them attractive - in order to be framed as creepy for the sake of views. They are the victims.
@emilykmay This is such an insane post to make on your parents’ 50th anniversary that I had to go and check the poster wasn’t based in Bangladesh and larping as an American for rage bait
@ChristianityOn He didn’t deserve to die, but Cambridge has a responsibility to ensure its staff earned their positions honestly and the Guardian has a responsibility to conduct investigative reporting to uncover the truth. He brought the situation he was in on himself through lies and deceit.
@ChristianityOn It’s also about variety - if you do a 9/5 job, you can still spend a couple of hours with your kids at night and all day at the weekend. If you are a SAHM with a baby, it’s just the cycle of feeding, playing, changing nappies, sleeping a bit itterated over and over again 24/7
