Yeah I remember when he was a big name doing that shit. Then he recently popped up talking linux. And in between it became a somewhat regular occurrence in my country for people to march with swastika flags. For all I knew it was edgy jokes from an era where fascism was still outside the Overton window, or he just became a low key supporter of modern fascism but without any stunts big enough to get noticed

That’s wild to me. Or it isnt and the catholic roll is so normal to me that I don’t see it as the same thing, just with participating locations in every part of the planet. Idk I haven’t been Christian since college

“My physical therapist had me walk across the room. He told me I did amazing. Perfect genes, I should be in the Olympics. I challenge Obama to try to walk across the room without even stopping a fourth time. He can’t. SAD”

The two people I trust least on matters of science are some person who reckons it’s common sense and someone with a doctorate in something vaguely similar.

The third and fourth are every engineer and every physician that isn’t actually an expert on the thing, but that’s because we think we know everything.

They also probably didn’t make you keep taking them as an adult. I got a few of the “hey you’re probably neurodivergent let’s see how smart you are to better classify you” tests as a kid, but at 30 I haven’t had one in a long time because I’m 30 and that would be unnecessary.

That would be nice. Lightning would be better. Its looking like a fatal fall may do it. One cannot outrun the reaper, and his decline has been visible for the past decade. Ten years ago he was stupid and cruel but not obviously suffering from dementia

Its clearly a dementia test. AOC behaves like a non-cognitively impaired adult. Trump acts like a 70 year old who was in the NFL.

Why does the president keep bragging about his passing of dementia tests‽ How can he not understand that that is admitting to needing them?

Bad labeling and artificial insemination I’d have to assume.

Systems develop independence in a sense. It needs to be accounted for because while better people can make things better, its harm reduction not problem solving. The destructive systems need altered or replaced

Please keep doing it. As a poor landless peasant I celebrate your attempt to preserve some of nature. You’re buying time, which is vitally important

I fully agree. But once those who should be business majors enter a field everything about it gets worse.

The happiest I’ve seen people breaking glass was to jewish wedding music

That’s a fair assessment.

I’ve only seen the before and afters and I’m a lot more experienced in watching the psychic collapse of people getting more and more cosmetic surgeries than I am with specific procedures, and I’ll acknowledge her behavior and the circles she runs in have biased me towards thinking suicide by thousand cuts rather than a few ill advised procedures having unfortunate effects and it not being worth it to try to undo.

If your theory is correct then I’m somewhat sympathetic to that scenario. Especially as its increasingly common for political commentators and figures to have work done.

I think it’s more likely to be unregulated dysmorphia. Maybe they start with a bit to get the fox news look, but cut by cut wind up like that trying to fix every “flaw” with a procedure.

People getting hooked on cosmetic surgery looks really similar to how dysmorphic anorexics wind up.

Sometimes a surgeon can do an amazing job, and many will consistently do so. Much like how people can look much better by loosing weight. You probably couldn’t tell if someone had their abdominal adipose tissue injected into their butt or breasts if it was done well and you didn’t know. But then they’re likely to decide it isn’t enough.

Dealing with dysmorphia is hard. Changing to body neutral attitudes is hard. Seeing your body realistically is hard. I struggle with weight based dysmorphia myself and I know I possess the capacity to starve myself emaciated and still think I look fat because I have organs.

I find it ironic in a way, that Ms loomer is a transphobe who probably thinks we need therapy to deal with dysphoria, while being clearly at the mercy of her dysmorphia.

There’s a question I’ve seen posed in some circles before: “Do you need a boob job, or do you need to read some feminist theory?” It’s not meant to be accusative, the answer can be either and thats ok, but it’s important to actually consider that your perspective of your body and of other bodies may be skewed before you surgically go changing things based on your insecurities. Even if you pick the boob job, you’re more likely to go in with realistic goals and less likely to keep getting another procedure if you’ve seriously thought about it before.

She looks worse than the vast majority of trans people I’ve met

Yeah, our ally attacked iran without cassus belli, iran retaliated, and we bombed iran in response.

If iran chooses to attack us in response we should br mad at our president for starting it and regardless we should demand peace and accountability

Yeah, I’ve seen how little cops care first hand. In fact, they managed to focus more on the race of the perpetrator, while ignoring the footprints that clearly indicated that they were wrong about how he got in.

If the justice system actually cared about victims of sexual violence they’d focus on tried and true known methods of reducing recidivism and they’d actually test rape kits

All rights stem from bodily autonomy.

And yeah, with black men being the objects of white psychosexual fears this has a lot of opportunity to become yet another means of disproportionate suffering of black men at the hands of the justice system and for eugenics.
