It wasn’t that long ago when Republicans complained about participation trophies and how, at sporting events in schools, the ones who did not win still were acknowledged for their effort. They were complaining that it would make children weak, not want to compete, not give their best effort if they got recognition without being the top dog.
Now they demand their participation trophy and it better come with tendies!
There is anti-americanism (which I’ll gladly join in on) and then there’s making asshole memes.
Aaaand it’s stuck in my head again
I can, I did, it fucked me up mentally. I’m 41 now and still suffer some of the consequences of the abuse by my peers and one especially vicious teacher.
That’s not how bacteria multiply. There is horizontal gene-transfer, but that would be a very slim chance.
No ancient bacteria aren’t the problem, multi-resistant strains that have already evolved and are evolving in our clinics are the real problem, some bacteria that haven’t been an issue for quite some time, because our antibiotics simply killed them, have now developed resistances and are suddenly becoming deadly again.
E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella, some of the most prevalent bacteria in humans are rapidly becoming multi-drug-resistant and resistant to desinfectants like chlorine. These superbugs already account for a shockingly high number of deaths in healthcare facilities and the situation is only getting worse as more and more countries use increasing amounts of antimicrobials, kickstarting microbial evolution into overdrive.
the social democrats (who were instrumental to nazi’s rise to power)
Can you elaborate on that? First time I hear this.
Even a broken clock…
It’sa me! Mussolini!
Mainly he’s incredibly likeable… this election is going to be the likeable ticket vs the asshole ticket.
This is great, he is politically slightly left leaning (for a democrat), but can absolutely score points with conservative, rural Americans as that’s where he comes from and how he talks. He has a clean bill and is just overall a very charming person with great interview game. He’s the one who first loudly expressed how “weird” the GOP and Trump are.
With him Minnesota Democrats were able to codify abortion rights into law, increase transgender rights protections, pass a marijuana legalization bill and install new gun safety laws.
“As governor, he’s embraced the idea that it’s really important to invest in people and infrastructure to grow the economy,” Blodgett said. “And to do it in a way that really helps people in the middle and down below. To me, it’s just a huge focus on economic issues that are kitchen table issues that people care about.”
You’re not allowed to, but you definitely can.
DW is pretty good. They get called left leaning by Americans, but that’s just because leftist policies have a well known reality bias.

The greatness of Rage Against the Machine is that their music is always relevant. The depressing thing about Rage Against the Machine is that their music remains relevant.
I can barely take care of my self! Everything’s fucked! Don’t expect me to parent when I can’t even adult.
It’s such a shitty landscape right now.
Is a given person uttering valid critique of Israel or is it veiled antisemitism? Is their opponent calling out real antisemitism or is it a dishonest defense of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel? Is real valid critique being answerd by honest but wrongly-addressed call outs of antisemitism? Is real antisemitism accepted as a valid critique?
The example of this thread is definetly a dishonest defense of Israel, they could not have made it clearer that they will oppose valid criticism of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel.
And I hate that, because equating Israel and jewish people is playing right into the hands of antisemites and into the hands of a murderous isreaeli government.
