Is Trump the sitting vice president of a country facilitating a genocide?
Fair enough, my ignorance/age is showing.
I’ve taken public transit all my life so I understood what it meant. Never heard the term in Canada before though.
Apparently we’re calling commuters “straphangers” now too. I wonder if the NYPD will shoot at speeding wheelgrippers next.
The one apple product I’m willing to buy.
I feel like other brands have closed the gap but there was a time where macbooks seemed like the only great laptop on the market.
Technically your tax dollars aren’t being used
Basically it’s taxpayer money being used to buy from american companies via a 3rd party
I understand that buying american weapons makes the aid end up back in america but it’s still tax payer money being spent on weapons is it not?
What does aid mean then? Genuinely asking, I know the US sells weapons to Israel but don’t they also give financial aid?

Idk how I’m supposed to interpret $15 billion in aid as anything other than giving them $15 billion in money/supplies
JK “I’m protecting women” Rowling?
Whats your argument? Everyone should have their sport at the Olympics even if it’s problematic?
You’re not engaging with the conversation, you’re just saying people will be disappointed if break isn’t an olympic sport.
Why is exclusion worse than cultural appropriation? I’m excluded from the traditions of the first nations people where I live because I’m not first nations, is that a bad thing?
Most sports are not as recent as break and do not have the same cultural significance. Break was developed by an oppressed people who have historically had their artistic creations repackaged and sold without their involvement. I have no idea whether breaks inclusion in the games is cultural appropriation but I don’t feel like you are giving the proper context to the conversation.
Cultural appropriation is not bullshit. Look at the history of black people in america. Their art forms were copied by white people, sanitized, then sold to the masses with zero credit or compensation given to them. I’m not saying that only black people should be able to perform or enjoy those art forms, but there is a significant difference between respectful imitation and theft. Art forms that were created in large part due to the oppression they were put through, were copied with zero respect or acknowledgement, then repackaged and sold to the very people oppressing them. If you can’t see how that is a bad thing then idk what to say.
To be clear I’m not arguing break being included in the olympics is cultural appropriation, that’s for the culture to decide not me.
Man fuck all the downvoters, this is a perfectly valid question. If they started a haka competition people wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss this.
To answer you question, no idea, never thought of it. I’m pretty ignorant of break culture but I’d be interested to hear what those in the culture think of it’s inclusion.

I mean ya? Trump has been vilified by democrats.
No shade but I could not take the premise of that book seriously. The idea that any complex system could be mapped thousands of years into the future is so incredibly unrealistic to me that I was unable to suspend my disbelief.
I’m a massive Dune fan though so I have no leg to stand on. Hold on a second while I re-calibrate my metabolism and use my genetic heritage to recall events that happened 30000 years ago.
It’s not that surprising to me. Chaos theory is not well known/understood and we are accustomed to seeing weather reports from childhood, it’s not odd to expect them to be accurate.
Not sure how old you are but calling brown people terrorists was extremely common after 9/11.
It’s honestly been depressing seeing how seemingly universal this reaction has been. I expected jokes and made some myself amongst friends. But I did not expect the entire community to unite behind a legitimate desire for violence.
Feels like a mask off moment.
What does justified even mean in this context though? Are you in favour of capital punishment? Of vigilante justice?
Trump is a horrible person who, if elected, will harm the lives of very many people. I simply do not believe assassinating him is a legitimate tactic. There are so many problems inherent with political violence that I don’t even know where to start.
To me, advocating for political violence is a position detached from reality. Akin to wondering why the western world doesn’t simply declare war on Russia over their invasion of Ukraine. It may seem/be the morally correct thing to do, but the consequences of doing it are far reaching and extremely complicated.
Honestly idk what I’m trying to say other than I don’t think violence against Nazis is an effective strategy. I think it’s reactionary and short sighted and will only make the problem worse.
Yes.
