The boobs on the left are nice to look at, but the ones on the right daaaayum that's nice. Because of our societal expectation of bras at all times for all women, when you see boobs like on the right it's because a woman has chosen to be vulnerable and it's extra intimate.
The boobs on the left are boobs you get to see, the ones on the right are the boobs you might get to touch!
This scene is straight up from world war z. Hordes of emaciated people running to the only food source for miles around being gunned down.
How can someone look at this and argue this isn't genocide. How bad would your life have to get for YOU to run towards these tanks for food, this is how bad their life is.
LMAO apparently immigrants can't be skilled labour either. Conservatives can't say a single sentence without being racist.
Conservatives turn every problem into an excuse for racism.
Our hospitals are underfunded! "I bet they'd be fine if it wasn't for immigrants"
Reality: "In 2016, 245,500 people were employed as nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates in Canada. Of these workers, more than a third (87,925) were immigrants." https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/45-28-0001/2020001/article/00036-eng.htm
Looks like immigrants are the only reason the severely underfunded healthcare system is still even running at all.
It's Facebook but uses activity pub so it federates with mastodon. The whole thing is pretty contentious.
Rachel Gilmore is a fucking treasure. She's on threads so she's accessible through Mastodon https://threads.net/@r.gilmore/
In Canada we have the same thing. You can every year when filling taxes tick off a box to update your voter info to save you the work. You also can register at the voting booth with ID, or proof of residence, or the statement of a registered voter in the area willing to vouch for you.
Basically zero voter fraud.
Voter ID and registration laws are pure voter suppression!
I think you're potentially looking at this wrong. They might be dependent.... Or they might be in COMMUNITY with their families.
If they're in their 40's their parents are in their 60's-70's. Is it possible these adults have a relationship of give and take where they each lean on the other for different things? Maybe her dad takes care of car maintenance for the family, her mom manages medical needs and she manages other aspects of their shared lives?
Although it's certainly possible, I find it hard to believe parents of a 40 year old are somehow coerced or guilted into an unfair arrangement.
Maybe we have different life experiences in this regard...
Bad Photoshop will always be better than good AI!
Yeah that's the best part. If you watch the vid, it's clear that the police did most of the damage, but the senator was right in the way "helping" trying to get the "good PR" and he caught all the blame. Absolutely beautiful turn of events!
Except for the marine.... Having your hands broken for telling the truth is brutal. No one wants to die for Israel's wars of aggression.

I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.
It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!
I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.
The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line
Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firmsโ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions
So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?
We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.
So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!
If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.
They really think we're idiots.
In your example everyone is throwing knives. Not throwing knives gets you shunned where you might starve to death. Leaders repeatedly make speeches about how children who get hit by knives are a tragedy, but we're already doing our best! This is explicitly to ease social guilt and confound the morals of everyone who doesn't have the luxury of being able to sit down and study the system.
I can't blame the people in that system for hitting kids with throwing knives. In fact the ones who hit kids are doubly traumatized because they have to live with the consequences of actions they were coerced into performing. This is especially true if they were also hit by a knife as a kid!
I blame the system and the people running it. You should too. It's deeply childish to assume everyone shares the privilege required for having a proper leftist worldview in a system that literally criminalizes it. Someone is facing 20 years in jail for having a leftist zine with a feminist review of midsommar right now and you expect every parent to have a critical understanding of economic and social coercion???
