miak

Literally one of the best movies of all time.

Know your rights, flex your rights

…and pair that with “this is what you voted for when you voted third party or stayed home, to say nothing of directly voting for this mess,”

Lol, if that’s the approach the Dems are going to go with, I hope you loooove the current Republican regime. Attempting to shame people into voting for you is not likely to win much support.

Or they could have addressed both fentanyl in the US and the cartels in Mexico by just agreeing to end the war on drugs…

Help us, Han-Tyumi, you’re our only hope.

I love a bit of Bull Yogurt to garnish my Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Edit: would be fun if a restaurant serving Rocky Mountain Oysters would provide the names of the bulls that provided for my meal.

It sounds like we’re largely in agreement. Absolutely, you want to tackle the issue at the source. I don’t see how one hopes to accomplish that without empathy. Understanding those racist ‘losers’ is how you begin to understand how to tackle this at the source.

Fear is often a motivating factor in a person’s choice. This was equally true of the left and right in this past US presidential election.
I haven’t seen any evidence that fear is a value that most people hold though. The source of their fear is concern over the things they do value.

There’s those broad strokes I was talking about. I appreciate you providing an example.

Refusing to empathize and understand how people arrive at their views in favor of this kind of prejudice will never contribute to positive changes.
Yes, the best cure to bigotry is love and compassion. Love and compassion start with empathy. It’s easy to empathize with those that think and act like you do - it can be difficult, but all the more important, to empathize with those that don’t. Refusing to do so only ensures polarization of society and a perpetuation of the cycles of violence that permeate society. This is something that has become all the more clear with the rise of social media and the info bubbles they trap people in.

Often when I see someone accusing people of voting against their own interests, it’s pretty clear that the person making the accusation has not taken the time to understand the values others are basing their choice on.
If I could rob a person and be confident that I would never be caught and punished for doing so, am I acting against my own self interest if I chose not to rob them because it goes against my moral code? No, of course not. But based on the way some people talk about voting against ones self interest, you might think I just cheated myself out of free money. Is it possible that a person might “vote against their own interests” because of a misinformed view? of course, but you’ll never understand a person’s motivations by chosing to paint them with broad strokes based on your prejudices instead of getting to know them individually and trying to understand what it is they truly value.

As a Bi-man, a bigration sounds great! Would be great to have more bis around. Mono-sexuals are just weird, imo.

From a practical standpoint, I don’t see any difference between Huckabee’s position and Biden/Harris’s position. Biden and Harris may not be stating this explicitly, but their actions imply a similar view.
How many stern letters will Biden send to Yahoo before actually taking some action against Israel’s crimes? How far will they move the goalposts to avoid pulling support for Israel?

This is amazing! Why haven’t I heard of this and why isn’t it a bigger deal. The world needs this more than ever!

Thank you for this!

You know, we really should have a world wide Fap For Peace day. Like those “Pray for [insert thing]” days you sometimes hear about people doing.

The freshest and most Hungary!

Did somebody say Miak?

Sure, but when you need it I bet you’re damn sure glad you have it. It’s never a good feeling to be caught without your jellyfish launcher - don’t let that be you.

Cyrus The Virus. What a great 90s villain. Upvote for the Con Air reference.

Can’t wait to buy a pizza on layaway!
