Innocent until proven guilty (I say that as a woman AND a survivor of SA).

Then again he was proven guilty in other cases. Seeing as those weren’t enough to remove him from power permanently I am not sure what this would do. If I had to bet on if he assaulted minors I’d go for heck yes. I’d bet nearly everything I have on that. So I’d be a pretty bad jury member of this case ;) anyway: the more evidence there is, the harder it is to ignore. Victim statements are pretty good evidence, but more is better.

Oh, good. My first instinct was that they’d use that plastic fake leather stuff. I really dislike fake leather. It’s not very durable and really difficult to mend when damaged. And it’s so very sticky in summer. Denim sounds like an amazing option though.

Depends. Not every boycott is equally easy to pull off. Apparently the CEO of Nestle doesn’t believe in the basic human right of clean water. Makes me want to boycott them but… where do you even start. That’s about 1/3 of our supermarkets stocks. Also Amazon has the market cornered in a lot of ways / places. I’ve been able to not order but I know people who have 0 viable alternatives for things they need.

Then again if it’s something like people picking Starbucks over the local coffee shop next to it while preaching moral superiority… yeah, then I’ll judge.

I put most of those types of “wants” on a timer. As in I put the link on a wishlist. If a week or two later I still actively want it and think about it and it’s within my fun money budget then I get it. More often than not I have the impulse just in the moment and forget about it again 1-2 days later.

Genuinely impressed that you’ve kept up with it this long.

Gorgeous colours in this picture. Looks epic and the cat seems way too floofy for its own good.

We also have a cat who needs to stick out at least one paw to be a able to sleep. He prefers to stick at least one claw into something soft while doing that too. One of our nicknames for him is “weird little guy” and he lives up to it on a daily basis.

I left Reddit for the rightwing site-wide moderation policy changes. Well, technically I still have an active account, I just don’t bother using it. No point if nearly half my comments and posts get shadowbanned anyway.

I still agree with the “Jews against Zionism” crowd who take great offense to the idea that anti-genocide is the same as antisemitism. Because that seems to insinuate that genocide is linked to Judaism, which in itself is a pretty antisemitic idea.

Yeah, I suspect someone did this for internet clicks. Hope it’s at least edible glitter. Though even that is likely a really bad idea.

I agree that it would be slightly better. Not because women are in some way superior to men, but because more diverse groups in gender and culture perform better in almost any metric measured.

Don’t diss manatees like that. They are giant floating ocean potatoes with a temperament somewhere between snorlax and a puppy.

Well, by the look of this comment section there’s at least one who really needed to hear the message, but seemingly didn’t take it to heart.
