ClimateStalin [they/them, he/him]

Yeah antisemitism is not a deep rooted ideology in the United States, at least not to the extent it is in Europe. It exists and has existed certainly, but not nearly like Europe

“It’s so dumb it’s brilliant”

“No! It’s just dumb!”

And it’s not targeted either, it’s not like they’re pulling funding for fluoridation in heavily black areas or anything like that

They’re genuinely stupid people who actually believe insane conspiracy theories about fluoride and don’t believe in the benefits. There’s no plot. They’re just really really dumb. They’re also evil, but it can’t be understated that they’re dumb.

All wallets remind me of vaginas. They are flappy things, and you put stuff in them.

Often! Tend to be! You can certainly get a “men’s style” wallet that’s a bright color, or a “women’s style” wallet that’s black or brown.

These aren’t firm categories, there’s a whole spectrum of wallets. But there are general style trends that you can identify as “men’s” or “women’s” wallets.

You can typically get a single 24oz beer from a convenience store for like $2.50, which is like .7 liters. So like $5 for 1.5L

I think Aldi still has $3 bottles of wine which slap

Edit: I went to Aldi today and they were $4

I think there’s a balance to strike. Making the US dependent on them is good. But I think giving materials to make weapons to the guy who keeps screaming how he wants to use those weapons on you is questionable after a certain point.

“The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them” except China is the main producer of rope.

In the US you can certainly find low alcohol beers like in the 3% range, but they’re very rare, you’d have to go looking for them specifically.

Yeah that’s more in what I expect for a basic simple beer, 4-5%. It’s very rare that I see a beer below 4% abv.

Really? Is that a non-US west thing? In my mind a light beer is usually 4-5%. Most of them are 4.2%.

Wait does that say 3.3% abv what kind of beer is 3.3%

Is that not a tacti-cool wallet though?

Sleek MENS Black All Leather Tactical Wallet with Protective Carrying Chain

I was thinking it looked like a front pocket wallet for a man, especially given the chain

I’m not even gonna be obtuse and say I don’t know the difference between a “men’s wallet” and a “women’s wallet.” If you ask me to picture those two things this is what will come into my mind:

Men’s wallet

Women’s wallet

Men’s wallets tend to be smaller, intended to fit in a pocket, and are usually black or brown. Women’s wallets tend to be bulkier and wider, with more buckles and zippers, intended to fit in a purse or carried in your hand with a wrist strap, and are often bright colors instead of just black or brown.

So my problem isn’t even so much “are wallets gendered” as it is “that is not a feminine wallet”. It’s a black, small wallet that could fit in a man’s front pocket and has a chain to attach to your pants. That is a men’s wallet!

I feel like you’re overestimating the degree to which people recognize that language is a social construct.

If English had grammatical gender anglophone transphobes would claim the gender words have is unchangeable fact and if words can’t transition of course people can’t.

Jesus fucking Christ

I have to assume they will be, allowing enemy officers to join you no-questions-asked seems like a poor choice in basically every situation

This particular one is kind of a moment for me. Horrible sign for other things, but honestly I’d be in favor of banning all SHEIN products in the first place.

essential to making such things as military drones

I’ll be honest they should’ve stopped selling us anything needed to make military drones years ago unless the US stopped its anti-China rhetoric.

Don’t sell bullets to the guy who keeps telling anyone who will listen how ready he is to go shoot you and your family.
