Yeah, that’s a definite ass world for me, because whilst I might visit tit loans out of curiosity, ass world is where I am sure I would want to go regularly.

Yeah, making up rules in the heat of the moment just to shut someone up is gonna make bad rules that deserve malicious compliance. Dead right.

Just a reminder to our American cousins that in British English, trump means the noise an elephant makes but also to fart: “Sorry I trumped.” Donald the Trump is a noisy noxious unwanted thing on the world stage.

Exactly. Very well done indeed. It has a simple beauty.

But I’m scared of Monad transformers and lenses. Can’t I just use elm? Elm is so perfect, so pure, so very very pure. And so pretty. And so robust. And so instantaneous to compile, and with such helpful error messages. Come to me, haskell programmer, you’ll never want to leave. Never leave… Always elm… Lovely lovely elm…

Thank you for being on the Internet.

That was helpful, thanks. I’m very much looking for insight, explanation and experiences.

If I’ve grasped what you’re saying (and please re-steer me if not), the male gaze is a kind of societal expectation that women would present themselves in certain ways to walk the tightrope of some sort of impossible-to-attain universal male approval, and where women are harassed on the one hand for for not pleasing male eyes and on the other hand, harassed for pleasing male eyes - an obviously lose-lose situation. As such then, this male gaze would exist in the way some men behave towards women and in the head space this takes up in the minds of women who have been repeatedly hit with these expectations.

What would Jesus do? Not this. Absolutely not this.

I wanted to learn more about women’s perspective on this. Sometimes my “don’t be a dick” plan needs more detail, and being more aware of what kind of behaviour is problematic might steer me better. I’ve heard the phrase male gaze but I don’t think I fully understand what is meant by it, and I feel your question may point to and illuminate a kind of discrimination that I want to avoid.

I don’t understand how it is that you can be this full of hate and so utterly devoid of compassion and empathy.

Sorry to look twice, but wow, nice cock, bro.

I took care of our young kids for a fortnight “instead of working” when my wife was rushed to hospital. It was far more exhausting than doing the day job. I don’t know how single parents cope at all.

But better public support for a month than erasure.

I vote for not giving corporations shit for one of the few positive things they do. Honestly, I worry that this backlash against corporations supporting LGBTQ+ people is actually often being pushed by homophobes.

Maybe it’s shallow and maybe it’s not very long lasting, but at least it’s public and positive.

It was a zip file, essentially. You drag files into it, then you drag it to your usb memory stick and take it to work. At wprk, you drag it from the usb drive to your briefacse on the work computer and it updates with the newer copies. That’s about as much as I remember.

Well, I’m not going to get you to admit that Trump and the Republicans plan on being far, far worse for Palestine, and I think that if you really did care about Gaza you’d do whatever you could to keep Trump out of the White House, but you really, really, really don’t want to hear it.

I warned you, though. I warned you as best as I could.

Factually incorrect:

Biden: Don’t bomb Rafah.
Trump: …

Biden: Cancels some of the armament shipments
Republicans: object loudly to Biden cancelling armament shipments

Biden: We should have a permanent ceasefire
Trump: PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas, his most definitive position on the conflict since the terror group killed 1,200 Israelis and took more than 200 hostages on Oct. 7.

The Republicans would accelerate it all. The Republicans share Israel’s aim to “finish them”.

You don’t admit any moral difference between trying to slow the killing down and trying to speed it up, and the reason is that you’re only pretending to care about Gaza what you really care about is discouraging left leaning voters from voting so that your guy Trump can win.

You’ll deny it, I’m reasonably sure, but that’s the effect of your outright condemnation of Biden and your extreme head in the sand refusal to admit that the Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, are far more committed to the Israeli military and its aims, always have been and likely will be for decades to come.

Now stop pretending that allowing Trump to win means worse atrocities in Gaza and more encouragement for despots everywhere, including for Russia winning the war invading Ukraine.

Personally, I think it’s the Israelis who are committing the genocide with America’s support from pretty much all of the Republicans and most of the Democrats, but you didn’t answer the question: Up to now, Trump has a slight lead in the polls. Who would be worse for the people of Gaza, Biden or Trump?
