  • Point 2 sounds like you think kissing someone entitles you to rape them.

    It doesn't.

  • Worth noting its common for these gang members to be forcibly recruited as children or teens so even a lot of the tatooed ones are akin to child soldiers.

  • You must be Ho, with all that computer knowledge.

    I kind of hate it when other people do it though, so I don't. But admittedly it would be effective.

  • Thanks Trump and Putin. Just what future generations of children need, more fucking landmines. /s

  • Permanently Deleted

  • They do, also it's a wider talent pool and more chance of recruiting the best and brightest.

  • If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.

  • Assuming that whites are entitled to "become" Indigenous through being an ally is incredibly problematic though.

    I mean this gently but I think you need to learn about colonization a lot more broadly. Fanon is a product of his time. I'd encourage you to look at South Africa, India, Zimbabwe, and also pay some attention to contemporary Indigenous activism in settler majority countries where there is often an appetite for separate sovereignty.

  • Me too. It's the one word that triggers something in my brain.

  • Oxford spelling, Oxford comma: what's not to like?

    Anything with a United Nations style spellcheck will sort it for you.

  • Depends on the tense.

    I spell it wrong.

    I have spelled it wrong.

    I spelled it wrong.

    I had spelt it wrong.

    "I had spelled it wrong" sounds like a hillbilly.

  • Do you by any chance know where I could read a good introduction to Canadian English?

    I can write fluently in UK and US English but Canadian sometimes has me stumped.

  • It's probably an insurance fire.

    This crying is all theater. There will be an angle to it for Musk and the other oligarchs.

  • This. Feels like people are just rising to the bait.

  • Adolf Hitler said he had solutions to all these problems. Screaming his threats and boasts, he could seem insane to outsiders, but he was saying what his audiences wanted to hear. He promised jobs, better living conditions, restored power and pride for Germany, and suppression of communism and other political trouble-makers. He also attacked Germany’s Jews, saying they were responsible for Germany’s defeat in the war.

    Despite his growing support, some had a hard time taking him seriously. Hitler’s boasts that Germany would regain power sounded so fantastic, it kept the world laughing for a few more years.

  • No need. Just lock him in a tesla long enough.

    A U.S. jury in Miami has ruled that Chiquita Brands International is liable for financing the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a paramilitary death squad designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. during Colombia's civil war.

    This decision comes after 17 years of legal proceedings and a previous conviction in 2007 when Chiquita was fined $25 million for illegal payments to the AUC. The recent verdict marks the first time an American jury has held a major U.S. corporation accountable for complicity in human rights abuses in another country, newsletter Pirate Wire Services explained.

    Plaintiffs represented by Earth Rights International, an NGO advocating for corporate responsibility, have long sought justice through courts in both Colombia and the United States regarding this issue. The jury in Miami recommended a civil fine of $2 million for each family member filing suit, following two "bellwether cases" selected from over a hundred filed by victims.
