Minorities too. There's a reason he was harping on shaving standards. Some people with curly hair get ingrown hairs when they shave every day. Causes infection and scarring. You can get a "no shave chit" - medical can excuse you from needing to be clean shaven.
Its mostly black men with these chits.
He's trying to give anyone who wants one an excuse to remove any one who isn't white enough (and male) from serving.
She, famously, has no idea how humans live. She is culturally distinct from the Europeans on the coast.
She has more in common with the fish that she speaks to. She's basically a magic dolphin.
Meanwhile, the people in the OP image are humans (to my knowledge, I'm not a nerd). Humans who have lived in the human world with human pasts full of human culture which give context to their characterization. I'm sure their background stories matter to their fans.
Nobody argues about what color the scales on Ariel's tail should be.
Sure but she didn't, she's not in the meme I'm critiqueing. I wouldn't have that complaint about that situation. I'd have other complaints, if I wasn't completely drowned in a bottle or something
George Floyd and Trayvon Martin were ordinary citizens living their lives, whose deaths were linked to (and probably caused by) oppression and racism. They never wanted national attention, certainly not for this.
Kirk was a propagandist whose speech contributed to the environment of political divisiveness, bigotry and intolerance. He was a public figure who thrived on the controversy caused by his hateful speech.
I can't upvote this meme, it feels like false equivalence (I agree with the sentiment, though, it just... they don't care if they're being hypocritical. That's their game).
They acknowledged that the campaign of destruction included the destruction or damage of 92 percent of housing units, 94 percent of the enclave's hospitals, 92 percent of schools and university buildings, and 86 percent of water and sanitation facilities.
I'm trying not to be a pessimist about this, but if only we had senators willing to call this genocide before so much destruction has already been done. So many of us are unwilling to call something a genocide until hundreds of thousands have died.
This report might be entirely ignored since these are Democratic senators.
Large USA media outlets are too focused on the death of a hatemongering podcaster to even report on this. I tried looking for articles from larger media outlets, and I only found an article from The Guardian (UK) and an MSN article... really wasn't expecting to see an MSN result.
Focusing on the death of one hatemongerer while our government supports genocide... we do live in a violent society.
the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face
He named his technology company after a wizard pondering orb wiretapped by LOTR-satan.
Im sure theres some great jokes here but I don't have anything snarky to say about it, I'm just tired.
Tbh I'm not even sure the app is breaking any laws at all. Reporting on the presence of law enforcement is (not always but sometimes) protected speech here. I don't use the app, and I haven't heard that they are trying to arrest anyone in regards to it.
Honestly though... Have you thought through everything you're saying? Sheltering Jewish people during the holocaust was illegal in Germany.
Anyway, have a nice day, those are my thoughts.
I don't want to drag this conversation into American politics, but I will say ICE has been doing things against USA law. Things are not great here. Even noncitizens have rights that need to be respected, and ICE is failing to do that. They have also arrested lawful residents, citizens too, in their sweeps.
The ICE tracker app is a protest app/ direct action sort of thing, not a tool for criminality. Surely you can see the value of being able to use technology to resist a tyrannical government?
By the way, do you want the USA government to potentially control which software can be installed on your phone? Google is an American company. USA courts could decide (international company) is violating (American IP law or something else) and instruct Google to disallow their app from being installed entirely.
They can pull apps off the app store now, and they do that, but currently you can still side load stuff.
I think that other guy's comment about the ICE tracker app really highlights the most important problem: If only signed apps can run, governments can pressure companies to remove access to certain apps. Even if Google allowed posting the app, the author would have to de-anonymize himself, and Google would have to comply with the law if they were subpoenaed. They would definitely give up the author's name. It is an issue of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to do with your device what you choose to do with it. You might not have a use for it (right now) but it's not necessarily something you'd want to give up.
And, honestly, I would personally be affected by this, eventually. I use an app called NewPipe to watch youtube. It already isn't available on the app store (violates google's ToS), and I doubt they'd let people install this even if the author properly identified themselves, because I use it to avoid watching adds and to be able to "subscribe" to channels without an account. I could just borrow my husband's premium subscription, I guess, but I really only use NewPipe to watch certain things, and it lacks the algorithmically driven feed (which I am actively avoiding, Google tends to suggest things that make you angry for clicks).
As a user, you should be upset that a private company is controlling how you are allowed to use your device that you paid for with your money.
This would be like if Microsoft decided you could only run Microsoft-approved code on a computer you purchased, in some cases with a locked bootloader so you can't even change your OS.
Also, Google is (imho) already operating unethically when it comes to the app store (See Google v. Epic). I don't care about Fortnite, but Google really shouldn't be able to take a cut of random services just because it's running on Android.
He's talking about getting rid of military members who can't shave due to medical reasons.
context
People with curly hair can have ingrown hairs from shaving. Most people with no shave chits are black.
Don't let him trick you into thinking this speech is just stupid. Its stupid, but he's also trying to give generals plausible deniability to remove minority military members and women.
