Was this some iteration of "straight men don't care about aesthetics, they care about function" type of thing??
Because that's such a boring existence. I'm sorry your dad hates aesthetics. I hope you've found your own tastes despite him.

Is this the mcdonalds hot coffee case all over again? Defaming the victims and making everyone think they're ridiculous, greedy, and/or stupid to distract from how what the company did is actually deeply fucked up?
The thing is, a lot of white people in the US are probably descendants of illegal immigration and they either dont know, or dont care. I know my family is. During the Irish potato famine we can trace when my ancestors immigrated to Canada and illegally hopped the boarder into the US(they should've stayed in Canada, I could've been Canadian and have access to healthcare damnnit)
I know my ancestors aren't the only ones who did that. People were desperate then, just like they are now.
I hate that this country has way too many bigoted hypocrites and too many talking heads that encourage them to believe bullshit lies.
Poe's Law has leaked into reality.
When supreme court justice kavanaugh was followed by protesters he had a hissy fit and said they couldnt do that. But it's totally fine to spy on everyone with a phone and expose their medical data.
These hypocritical fuckheads deserve exactly what you are proposing and I'd fucking love to see it happen.
We could even say it's to protect the children... make sure certain politicians who have expressed interest in legalizing child marriage aren't left alone with any.
They're illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can't have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.
Also, we're not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.
And that too
Some of us prefer not drowning in bots and pathologically hostile individuals.
Social media like Twitter preys on people's fear of missing out.
Manufactured Problem - not being up to date on internet bullshit. Marketed solution - be on twitter. Supply and demand died a long time ago. Now it's all about manufactured problems, and conveniently marketed solutions.
This sort of psychological manipulation in marketing works. It's why it's so hard to get people to leave websites like Twitter, reddit, fb ect. They've made their brands synonymous with media trends.
It took long enough, but I'm genuinely happy to see folks wising up and realizing they don't "need" Twitter. It's like watching a bunch of people break up with a toxic ex all at the same time.
My one concern about her openly opposing the genocide in Gaza is that it would likely cause the electoral college to just hand the vote to Trump. That will be way worse for Palestinians overall. Don't forget Trump didn't win the popular vote in 2016.
Unfortunately there are too many people in the US government who are invested in supporting Israel, and it's not out of the realm of possibility that the electoral college is compromised like our supreme court is. Israel could be the make it or break it on that front.
It's still insane to me that people were actually doing that. I know meds like ivermectin and pyrantel are used in humans but still.... Horses have BIG organs, and that paste is a suspension dosed specifically to get rid of equine intestinal worms. It's not the same as the pill you get from a pharmacy.
Even if those people who ate horse dewormer felt no ill effects I bet there's some organ damage in there. I'd hazard a guess that human livers and kidneys don't like high doses of that stuff.
What about all the innocent women who are dying in our country because of who trump appointed to the supreme court and the result was the overturning roe vs wade?
Do those lives matter at all to you? Women bleeding to death in their cars because hospitals refuse to treat a miscarriage.
What about the kids who get massacred in school shootings because Trump and people like him won't support increased gun control legislation?
What about all the innocent people of color who have been killed by police? Do they matter to you?
If trump gets into the office not only will the Palestinian people be far worse off, so will every group I mentioned above and more.
You said you are against killing innocent people, then why dont you care about the women, children, and people of color who are getting killed in our country needlessly?
There's far more destruction for far more people if trump gets into office. If you want to double down, go for it, because I think it's worth reminding people just how much death in our country can attributed to Trump. Every woman who dies from preventable pregnancy complications. Trump directly contributed to that.
