You do you, Suzy Eddie Izzard. I think you look great! I wish I could wear high heels, sadly I have vertigo :(. And zippers? Okay, I had a REALLY bad experience with an orthodontist. So zippers kind of trigger the ptsd (JK)

More ways to increase suffering

Thank you for the insight. I always appreciate being educated :).

Have you been to Europe? They have “walking” cities. You really don’t need a car to get around. My kids backpacked through Europe. The furthest they had to travel from a hostel was outside Amsterdam. 8 km on bicycles! My son just came back from Japan (I know, not Europe). He talked a lot about the “Shinkansen”. A high speed train that travels 280 km/h. They were able to travel all over Japan “without” a car.

And that’s why the Americans (Trump) are deleting regulations. Because regulations will cost the Oligarchs money. They’re sending innocent people to El Salvador. They’re stopping food regulations, they are spreading lies about inoculations that save lives. What is the point? They’re decreasing the population. Why are they doing this? There’s going to be no one left. (I’ve had one too many martinis)

Hence, the defunding of education, and specifically critical thinking. That is by design. You can’t easily control the population when they can read and think for themselves.

I agree. “Land of the Fee, Home of the Slave” Excellent!!

Countries that have universal healthcare also have other benefits when you’re raising children. So it doesn’t stop at the “free to give birth”.

I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing that out :)

Agreed. In the end, there has been too much suffering and atrocities in the name of religion (and politics). People burned alive, beheaded, drawn and quartered. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia torn from his family and sent to El Salvador for now particular reason. And the US saying, “Too bad, he’s not coming back”.

Actually, I think a lot of women like having a man in their life. I know I do. My relationship with my “man friend" is not traditional. We have separate residences. We spend a lot of time with each other: holidays, overnights, entertaining, travelling, etc. To me it’s perfect. Obviously this wouldn’t be ideal if children were part of the plan, but they are not.

However, women are NOT incubators. Women are NOT here for men to get their “rocks off”. Women are NOT men’s servants. Women fought long and hard for the right to vote! American politics has begun a campaign to strip women of the fundamental right to vote. So, yah, I’m feeling the hate too, muusemuuse…

Unfortunately, I’m afraid there are a whole lot of “bro’s” that want just that.

“Deus Vult” is a Latin phrase meaning “God wills it,” historically used as a rallying cry during the Crusades. It signifies the belief that military actions were sanctioned by divine will. The term “crusade” first referred to military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to the Holy Land. The conflicts to which the term is applied have been extended to include other campaigns initiated, supported and sometimes directed by the Latin Church with varying objectives, mostly religious, sometimes political. These differed from previous Christian religious wars in that they were considered a penitential exercise, and so earned participants remittance from penalties for all confessed sins. What constituted a crusade has been understood in diverse ways, particularly regarding the early Crusades, and the precise definition remains a matter of debate among contemporary historian.

But, basically, hundreds of thousands of people were murdered and tortured because some psychopath decided they were carrying out “god’s will”—aka "I’m using religion as an excuse to exercise my desire to control and subdue people to my ends”.

Is this comment a joke? Trump has been rude, hateful, and disrespectful towards Canadians. Despite being a close neighbour, rallying and sending our forces to U.S. for “their” wars, housing and feeding thousands of their citizens during the 9-11 attack, Trump has slammed us with underserved tariffs, and threatened to annex us. I think we’ve been downright fucking civil.

Please don’t attack the most vulnerable of our society without research. The question of why many homeless people have cell phones is a complex one, often rooted in misconceptions about homelessness and the true value a phone provides in this situation: https://www.homelesslongisland.org/post/why-is-it-that-most-homeless-have-cell-phones "How a society treats its most vulnerable is always a measure of its humanity” ☮️ ✌️

It’s the 1800s all over again. Coal production… and, wait for it… child labour.

This seriously makes me ill. WTF?

Nearly 90 million people didn’t vote in the 2024 USA election. If you don’t want to become an American, don’t act like onel

His bluff didn’t work this time. He wants to play another hand. His shifty eyes are betraying his poker face. He’ll win the next hand! Who cares anyway, he’s not playing with his money.
