I could see children deciding that this is how they get gun control laws.

It’s generally legal in the US, with some exceptions (judges holding court, maybe ship captains?), and as an American, it’s a little hard to wrap my head around the laws in Germany. I live here, so I just don’t say rude things to strangers, but what is an insult?
Some people are ugly or fat or bald or stupid, all of which I would consider insults. Can the truth be an insult? What if I did fuck that dude’s mom last night, would it be an insult to tell him? I’ve seen dutzen (use of the informal “you”) be considered an insult, and I just don’t understand how. I understand how it can offend someone, but the word I use for the people I love best in the world is objectively not an insult.
If insulting is subjective, can lizzo (or an equally body positive person) get away with calling someone fat?
Above all, how is saying “it is my sincere opinion that” before the insult a real defense?
I think with a forced gender binary, any advantages are double sided: men are respected, but not allowed to show emotion; women are cared for, but infantilized; men earn more money, but can’t ask for help; women are trusted with children, but not computers; men get to go on adventures, but can’t back down from a fight.
Like, with other forms of bigotry, there’s a much clearer “winner,” but sexism fucks everyone. I don’t think it fucks everyone equally, but it does negatively impact everyone.
I’m an AFAB egg and I heavily relate to a lot of that. I come off some sort of way to people (I’m also 178 cm, but only 62kg, so I’m tall but not big, maybe that’s related), such that people don’t interrupt me, take credit for my ideas, mansplain to me… I actually experience very little in terms of individual (vs institutional) sexism, and I don’t know how to phrase that without it seeming like victim blaming. People don’t even catcall me anymore, but I may have just aged out of it
I do feel awful for the kids who would have gotten to go to these schools, but won’t because of institutionalized racism. Just not for the people who pushed for this law
Jesus Christ, it’s not on you, but what an awful show. Nobody let that woman ask for evidence even though it was a good question that she tried to ask multiple times. I’m secondhand frustrated now
That’s why I’ve requested it 😂 It’s not cheap in the US, but it’s well under $10 (though it’s been a few years of inflation…)
My husband sharpened a friend of mine’s meat cleaver for her. I knew I’d be seeing her at the library later, so I folded it inside cardboard and put it in a reusable shopping bag for her. At no point did I worry about anyone stopping me, and if they had, I would have expected them to believe me about what happened.
Everything went according to plan and I wouldn’t have thought anything of it, if my husband hadn’t been so surprised that I gave her the knife in public.
Old people (I’m not even old yet) who used to sit like the below picture and have incapacitating back pain when they sit wrong now.
Also, doesn’t everyone like fried chicken? I don’t even eat chicken and I make fake fried chicken
Yeah, I have to assume 18 year old women are on average way, way, way poorer than 40 year old men. That’s true regardless of the gender, 40 tends to be a pretty high spot in personal capital.
Are you rich enough to only use glass containers and do all of your food shopping locally at farmers’ markets? Because if not… stop drinking beverages out of plastic bottles. I’m in the same boat.
Our food is not as nutritious and we don’t exercise enough. We also have micro plastics, but they had lead and asbestos, so who knows on that.

I do worry that this might have a “cried wolf” effect for victims of actual antisemitism.
Do chatgpt and the like have a plan for profitability?
I don’t know what to tell you. I decided one day that I didn’t want to like them anymore, and then I didn’t enjoy them enough to eat them from then on.
I knew it wasn’t good for me to start, I just used to enjoy them through the guilt until I made the conscious decision not to like them.
The majority of porn with trans women is aggressively fetishized and dog-whistley to blatantly transphobic. I’m honestly not surprised that someone who consumes it is a transphobe.
