  • I mean, if it’s really N-ICE Mode…

  • Have the day you voted for, asshat.

  • why?

  • Or, hot take, a company that sells clothes with pockets makes less money than a company that sells clothes without pockets and then offers ladies $50-150 purses to compensate. If you think the fashion industry hasn’t noticed that, you’re crazy.

    It’s like how the American auto industry noticed they could make more money selling big vehicles and so all of them just stopped making smaller cars. Plenty of Americans say they want smaller cars, but the American auto makers don’t care.

  • No, it’s definitely a thing, and trends more in clothes geared to older women. When I shopped at Forever 21 back when I was in my 20s, I was a size 4-6; when I shopped at REI I was a size 4. When I shopped at Chicos, on the other hand, which caters almost exclusively to older women, I was a size 0. And sometimes even that was too big on me.

  • They want us to all go back to saying things like ‘she’s in a delicate condition’ and shit lol

  • Boy I wish. But stop believing in gods and people find other things to worship, as the techbros and cults of personality prove. There seems to just be part of the population that wants a ‘higher force’ to mindlessly follow.

  • Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    They are showing they are in the ‘in-group’ by flouting the rules they dictate to everyone else. It’s a key part of showing you’re in the in-group, and powerful within that group. The more rules you can flout the more powerful you are.

  • The billionaires’. And the fascist shits that are happy to see the world burn as long as they get to enslave brown people again.

  • It’s not going to get better even with a popular democrat. Over and over again, even as the leopards are ripping their faces off, they announce that they’re sad about getting eaten, but they would totally vote for the Orange Felon again.

    Politics for them isn’t about choosing a good government, or getting someone to represent them properly. It’s team sports, and you have to vote for your team so your side wins.

  • ‘Sharpedo Pokémon’ works too

  • It’s a long-standing tradition? And a thing in pretty much every country? Canadians volunteered in our Civil war. French and Germans volunteered in our war for independence. What do you think this is, North Korea that grips its people so tight they can barely breathe?

  • I mean, most sweets are vegetarian…

    But seriously, meat gives a lot of easily-digestible protein, so when you cut it out your body starts to throw energy cravings everywhere, and fats and sugars are another easy-access energy source, so your body pushes hard for those.

    I’ve found it helps to eat more smaller meals through the day to keep my energy up and my cravings low, if I haven’t been hitting up heavy-protein foods like beans.

  • As another lemming pointed out elsewhere in the discussion, psychologists have noted a strong correlation between winning/losing football teams and the fall/ride of domestic violence reports in the areas that supported those teams.

  • Not really. Plenty of places have high gun counts without the high violence count. There’s something wrong with us, specifically.

  • Sounds like you might need a new oven.

  • Then you really need to work on your reading comprehension.

  • Yes, there have always been people trying to create the in-group out-group dynamic, I never said there wasn’t. But in the past the in-group was determined solely by bloodline. Allowing anyone in as long as they have enough cash is a fairly recent development.

    I’m going back to the French Revolution because that’s where the modern movement started. It was crafted largely by Prince Kelmens von Metternich of Vienna as a response to the rising tide of proletariat revolutions and movements towards demanding more commoner’s representation in government.

    I hate to say it, but you’re the one who’s been taken in by the bullshit they spout to make themselves appear legitimate. All that stuff they say about saving money and taking things slow is a smokescreen. You’ll notice none of the leaders of conservative movements have ever paid more than lip service to those ideals.

    But because they want an in-group and an out-group, the conservative movement attracts regressives and other assholes who want to get special treatment without doing anything to deserve it, I agree. It’s useful for conservatives; it means that those people help support their push for power in the hopes they can be allowed into the ‘in-group’.

  • The Conservative movement wasn’t started to conserve money. It was started in Europe around the French Revolution as a way to conserve the power of the ruling class.

    Around that time, the ruling class had a bit of an existential crisis; they had always believed that bloodline was what determined who was part of the In Group and who wasn’t. But during the French Revolution they started to think that perhaps bloodline wasn’t the way to judge who was Deserving of being in their little In-Group clique, or at least it might not be the only component of who should have access to it.

    So they settled on money as their new main determining factor. It’s also why they (or those aspiring to the class) always want the best, shiniest new clothes and devices; it showcases their wealth and thus their eligibility for joining the In Group.
