  • UN: 4.5 million girls at risk of genital mutilation in 2026

    Jump

  • I get what you are saying, but that's not the way to do it.

    "What about male genital mutilation?"

    "We should ban all mutilation of genitals of children. It is barbaric. Some more than others, but it's all bad."

    If all you do is respond with essentially "what about this other thing that this particular article isn't talking about," it derails the conversation of the current article. Saying that all aspects of the subject if the article are bad and have no place in society says "I agree with this, and let's extend it further."

  • why is the beginning on the left and the end on the right?

    Jump

  • Swinging with right hand, holding with left (for right-handed people). So you can see what you've done so far as you go, just like writing with your right hand from left to right.

  • Fuck, can I have a do-over?

    Jump

  • The best thing I have learned to do with age is embrace the awkwardness. You do something ridiculous and awkward, you laugh, call it out like it's something funny for both of you, and then you move on.

    "Gow's it hoeing? ...wait... that's not right. Hoooow's.... itt.... gooooiiing... there we go, nailed it."

  • TIL the US Military operates a massive non-profit "socialist" grocery chain called the Commissary. It is taxpayer-subsidized and sells goods at cost

  • Housing is assigned by rank, is available to anyone currently in contract

    Not only that, but government owned housing is assigned not based on pay, rank, or whatever, but size of household. So an E-7 with no kids gets a 2 bedroom and an E-3 with three kids gets a four bedroom (depending on age/gender of the kids). So according to need.

  • Like the number of remaining torpedoes, plenty more where they came from

    Jump

  • Yeah, and then they die, sacrificing themselves to bring back the rest of the crew, thus showing the futility of not being main cast.

  • Inside me there are two shit takes

    Jump

  • Both are yes but also no.

    Each person is responsible for their own actions and choices.

    Also, often systemic issues make certain behaviors far more likely, and rather than suggesting there is something inherently wrong with a person or group of people who have made those negative actions or choices, we should address the issues that contributed.

    If a person beats their kids, saying they came from an abusive household does not absolve them, but if there has been a culture of ignoring (or encouraging) child abuse, addressing that would go a long way toward reducing child abuse in the next generation, for example. But the person who abused their kid still deserves the punishment they get.

  • I cast rock sling at mach 2

    Jump

  • Apparently there was a whole whip vs sword choreographed fight planned for that, but Harrison Ford was super sick at the time so they just had him shoot the other guy. Ended up being fantastic, but I feel bad for the swordsman who learned a bunch of choreography for nothing.

  • Clothes too dirty for the closest but too clean for the laundry

    Jump

  • I use command hooks on the wall. It feels more orderly.

  • Don't waste your time debating them just keep away from them

    Jump

  • Back when I was at university, I was in the band, and there was one guy in my section that was super annoying, and who couldn't talk with a person without squaring up to them (and then talking at them).

    One time my best friend (also in the section), in the middle of the guy's sentence with a bored expression on her face just... turns and walks away as if he had stopped speaking.

    The rest of us were thinking "wait... we can do that? I didn't realize that was an option."

  • Can’t wait for the head(amame) package to arrive

    Jump

  • I want this product (not the 3d printed parts) with a bluetooth connection to build into my retired flight helmet (I have flown in military helicopters most of my career, but am old and grounded now).

  • Edit: responded to post instead of comment

  • Trump v. Greenland

    Jump

  • Taking someone else's yogurt out of the fridge and murder are both wrong, but I'm far more concerned about the addressing the latter than the former.

    It doesn't say that it's right or okay, just silly to compare the two as if they're the same.

  • Poor Brad

    Jump

  • The local bars near me have that, and I can reach them from my house.

    My playlists always begin and end with Photograph by Nickleback, and in between is... interesting. I like to ease in with a few weird-for-a-bar but not bad (My Heart Will Go On, some Babymetal, etc) and work my way toward the really weird (showtunes, especially from Avenue Q), ending with the bad (like the 30 minute Sufjan Stevens song). Then Nickleback again, and back to your country music.

  • So this is one of those "even things that end up benefitting men is Feminism" things.

    Men having no paternity leave, but women having it, might sound like it's better for women. But instead it just makes them more likely to leave the workforce when their maternity leave runs out. Giving men an equivalent (minus medical recovery) amount of leave to be used over the first year makes it so both parents can take turns, get the child to a reasonable point of being able to be put in childcare, and allows both to return to work (if desired). And studies have shown the vast, vast majority of the pay difference between men and women is due to separating from the workforce for years after pregnancy (and subsequent pregnancies).

    Paternity Leave is part of Feminism.

  • Zeus: Wow. Just.... rude.

  • I mean, only the Predator movie makes sense as they just come here for hunting.

    And nerf themselves to make it better sport. Like us hunting with a bow and arrows instead of a drone strike.

  • Is this even a question?

    Jump

  • Damn, you weren't kidding. I was expecting a cop car, not six.

    To anyone looking, you have to get the corner/mid-intersection shot to get the mess of police. If you're just going up Pine, it looks pretty benign.

  • Got that Alaskan Airframe and Powerplant license, I see.
