It also reminds me of the incumbent NDP ridings we lost to the cons because liberal voters don’t do strategic voting, yet they expect progressives to.

I’m always sad when tomatoes season ends. IMO tomatoes are the singular item with the biggest difference between grocery store and local heirloom ones. It’s like night and day.

I gotchu fam. In this picture, @[email protected] is clearly not with Epstein:

May you all rot in hell.

They’ve strayed so far from the teachings of their own god, I’m fairly certain that’s the biblically prescribed punishment.

This is a problem that’s been brewing for a long time. Their business model is untenable at the scale they’re at without relying on near slave labour. Their massive profits come more from scale, than absolute margin, so if they actually payed a living wage they’d be in the red.

So now y’all will have to wait until the coming food shortages drive up prices before the pay is enough to interest other Americans that’d otherwise have no interest in those sorts of jobs.

The owners won’t play ball without getting their pound of flesh.

I think every time I switch freezers, I have to learn the lesson again. Maybe the vision of the particular freezer I’m using splattered in gooey cola tar is enough reminder, but with a different freezer, the trauma is no longer with it.

One can of pop exploding in there was enough to traumatize me into never forgetting again.

Lemmy is filled with thigh-sock wearing, Arch-using catbois isn’t it?

Mreww :3

Man, what a defeatist attitude. “If I can’t fix everything, why even bother to make small changes for the better.”

Edit: Oh, I see. This is a shitpost. Nice b8 m8, then. Ya got me.

Sounds like this Men fellow has multiple personality disorder or something.

While I agree, an outright ban on a specific category of porn, especially when there seems to be no evidence that it actually encourages problematic behaviour, seems rather silly. Seems more like a personal vendetta than well thought out policy.

I mean, those seem like pretty good laws. They have carve outs for consent, but still punish reckless behaviour, even in a consensual setting. I’m not sure how this is related.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Dame Diana Johnson told MPs: “We know that the increasing prevalence of this kind of content… is fuelling violent sexual encounters.”

I find this somewhat dubious. If you know this, why not show your work? Show us a study on the matter. Lots of people enjoy sex involving their own pain or humiliation in a healthy and consensual way. Banning a specific type of porn because it makes you feel uncomfortable is puritanism, and has a pretty poor track record of success on actually curving negative outcomes.

If you’re really concerned about people getting the wrong message from porn, then why not require porn to have pre/post checkins with the actors/actresses to affirm that it was made with enthusiastic consent. Seems to me this would do more to stop some of the real problems the porn industry has.

Yep. I recall going into the adult area of a manga store, and there was just a full on lolicon poster on the wall. Pretty sure putting that up where I live would get you a jail sentence.

It’s a valid and moderately common construction. This is called the generic (or indefinite) form of you. It’s primarily used as a colloquial or less formal substitute for one.

But yes, you do have to infer whom you is referencing from the context, so I could see why some might find it more confusing.

The “you” in the 3rd panel refers to the hypothetical shop owner referenced in the 2nd panel, not the dude she’s talking with.

Man, my life is kinda sad, but at least it’s not “join a community specifically to hate on stuff” sad. What hosers.
