Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Ever owned one? It’s pretty great. Accidents can ofc happen, keep your insurance up!
 
Never had a car breakdown on me. As long as your car is maintained, fueled and not very old breakdowns are rare in my experience.
 
Due to the environment I never drive around just for the sake of driving around. That’s a waste. I need a destination and a reason ofc.

As someone who’s done a lot of Uber driving to help make ends meet, I’m on the side of those who say mass transit should be more highly developed.

“Never had a car breakdown on me.”
 
Well now you’re definitely gonna have your car breakdown on you. Better find some wood to knock on

How fucked are we if Cotton or Hawley win in 2024?

@Background Pony #10C3  
Remind who they are again

@neutralgrey  
Preventative maintenance is key. And wood, knock knock. :)

@Background Pony #10C3  
I have no idea who the #### they are.

@neutralgrey  
Eh, It’s not a waste if I’m having fun. If the apocalypse comes and I need gas I’ll just rob my neighbors.

From what I’ve said two days ago is anything short of inexcusable. I apologize from the bottom of my being, and I shouldn’t have made my emotional pity party get the best of me. Even though I hadn’t take my prozac a few days ago knowing that I ran out, that shouldn’t be excused well enough that saying that I wanted a country that caused this global outbreak and lied about it to be nuked from existence is the last thing I wanted to spew out. I don’t expect my apology accepted, for I know I have my limits.

Trump once again engages in Cancel Culture as he calls on Fox News to fire Karl Rove.
 
What did Rove do? Say…not even mean things, but not-overly-flowery things about Trump.
 
Edit: The Capitol Rioter who broke into Pelosi’s office and pictured himself putting his feet up on her desk freaks the fuck out during his trial hearing.
 
The judge had to recess the trial so this senior citizen could have a time out and calm down.

A school in Texas had a “Chivalry Day” which, according to the assignment paper, instructed female students to “obey reasonable requests” from male students, and to refrain from showing intellectual superiority around male students if it would offend them.
 
 
Aside from the sheer monstrousness of that, I noticed it left off some things. Such as always paying fealty to the crown, and how all able bodied males are to, of asked, die for king and country without hesitation. If you’re going to do this, go all out. Let little Timmy be flayed on the stake for daring to question the Lord of the land, get some real chilvery in here.

So Chauvinism Day?

Taken a little out of context? A bit outdated but there was a historical point to it.

@Background Pony #CEFC  

 
You do that and then find out they’re new age hippies who walk everywhere

@neutralgrey  
I’m not a dirty hippie…  
Also if It’s too far I take a taxi

@silbasa  
No amount of context could make that acceptable (and yes, I read the article you linked and for one am glad that event has been cancelled, because that’s the kind of thing that completely deserves to be).  
There’s a reason why such notions are outdated nowadays.

@silbasa
 
Yea, I read the context already. Even the article on Fox that I read was critical of this. There’s little context where it’s not sketchy as fuck.

@Zincy
 
“Male students were also reportedly given advisories — including referring to girls as “milady” and showing “courtly courtesy as they assist ladies who may have dropped an article by picking it up for them,” according to a subsequent tweet.”
 
“Boys were also told not to use vulgarity or complain and to rise when females entered or exited a room.”
 
Media make it sound like a harem fantasy come true, when it’s kind of innocent in a way? (A bit misguided perhaps without explaining the context better for the students.)
 
“This assignment has been reviewed, and despite its historical context, it does not reflect our district and community values,” wrote Dr. Anita Herbert, superintendent of the local district, according to Fox News. “The matter has been addressed with the teacher, and the assignment was removed.”
 
But it’s been pulled and it’s no longer a thing.

@silbasa  
Given how much the word “milady” is now associated with the neckbeard subculture, I’d bet even the male students must’ve been relieved by this cancellation.

Alabama Senate passes bill that will make it illegal for doctors to give hormone therapy and surgery towards Transgender youths
 
The bill also says that it will make it mandatory for schools to contact and out kids to their parents if they are having gender identity issues, even if said kids do not want to come out with it to them.
 
Also what a coincidence that The guy saying that they want to “help” trans youths has never actually talked to one before

@Ereiam  
Ironically, I think one of the ways it stands out as anti-woman is that the ideas of how men should behave have more or less remained intact, and tberfore don’t seem so odd.

…  
I refer to every girl I don’t know with senora / senorita with ZERO irony, I show courtesy, I hold doors, I smile with my eyes (because mask) and I leave them alone if they don’t want any unsolicited assistance.
 
I don’t feel entitled for praises or rewards, nor do I feel obliged to help them because of their gender. I do that everyday, anwyay. It’s called ’adab. I read the room, and I don’t play games.
 
I don’t play game because I don’t got one. I’m the extreme opposite of Zincy.
 
Am I a chauvinist?

@tehwatever
 
No.

@Background Pony #1F81  
Cool cool. It’s not like LGBT kids ever have problems with their parents not accepting them, right?
 
Especially not in a place as cosmopolitan and forward-thinking as Alabama? Right?

What did George Carlin say about Equality?
