  • I’m sorry you live in a country like that.

    Have you considered sending them abroad? I work at a university in Australia and it is actively encouraging female participants in STEM, to break any stereotypes traditional family may have taught them. I think all universities are.like that here.

    We are partnered with a university in England and my understanding is they are the same.

    You are also able to look at university rankings which cover diversity topics. We have just submitted our data for 2023, so expect new rankings to appear in a few months. Since the data is public, many websites use it for higher education rankings.




  • It is part of what 2A was actually meant for.

    Would be interesting to see who comes out on top in a battle. A Gravy SEAL or a yoga instructor. One has gun accuracy, the other has everything else.

    But I’m sure by day 30 everyone’s over it after another country swoops in to annex during the instability. It’s not like allies can do anything until that point, and then there’ll be that whole rule of engagement where they can’t involve or engage with any Gravy SEALs or yoga instructors unless fired upon first. Which I imagine would happen a lot since the militias have never been “well regulated” and are in no way ready for combat, let alone identifying what’s friendly or foe.

    “Whoah! Stop shooting! We’re England!”

    “The hell you boys doin’ 'ere?”

    “The annexation.”

    “The wha?”

    “You’re losing your country to Russia and China for like eight months now.”

    “We are?”

    “Yeah, most of the west coast is already their’s. We’re trying to hold them off-”

    “California too?”

    “Yes. That’s where they landed.”

    “Buddy, that is great news! I gotta report this to HQ.” crosses street to Taco Bell “Captain Grand Wizard, we fuckin’ did it!”




  • Yeah, everyone’s got it to a degree. Some will be violent over those sports. Others simply make sure they look professional before going to work. I think people just need to remember what it all is at times though, before harming themselves or others in the process. I get upset at people hating who they are as much as people hating others for who they are, like anyone hada choice in it all lol.

    Can’t wait until we’ve passed it on by and socially evolved, but I will be long dead when that happens. Until then, don’t let people get ya down and just be you, y’all!


  • People can do whatever they need for their identity, but they need to remember it’s just an identity. It exists for a reason that does not come from within a person. That’s the whole premise of an identity, pursuing a specific treatment from society based on how it identifies you. The happiest people in human history give few fucks about their identity.

    So I can see why some people find it sad. But I can see why other people just as caught up and trained by society would be mad, not really understanding it’s got nothing to do with them.



  • For anyone still wondering if anything on Temu is good—so many people in my life still are—its best explained as an online dollar store.

    A dog bowl? Yes. A basic backpack? Sure. A jigsaw puzzle? Probably… Shoes? No. A Bluetooth anything? Hell no. An outdoor gas heater? Fuck no.

    So, yeah. Basically whatever you’d go to a dollar store for because you think it’s something basic, like a door mat, but everywhere else you go they’re like $50 for some reason.

    I didn’t notice it much this year. I think the markets have moved on. It’s been years since rainbow Facebook profile pics and now the right is having surging influence. Companies will jump onto homophobia if that’s cool in the next few years.



  • But why? Isn’t that their capitalism at work? If they are good, people will buy them. If they are not, then German manufacturers have nothing to worry about. Heaven forbid a free market act as initially intended, balancing out to reward manufacturers that perform well and consumers with competition driven high quality at reasonable prices.

    It’s a bitch, aint it? Some times that Community Chest card ruins your whole Monopoly game.

    Oh, wait… Lobbyist card hidden under the board. That’s the capitalism we all know and loathe.
