isn't this whataboutism
I've been doing so since Iraq, even when Trump was in office they did the same shit
Believe it or not, even democratic reps are unreachable when it comes to antiwar positions. Yeah they might be "civil" to your face, they will hear you complain, but then send you a form letter in response, telling you that nothing's going to change and that's good actually. Feels like they could just say "fuck you" and save some steps, but I guess that's just Democracy™ in action.
they have managed to set a trend for filling the night sky with shitty little low orbit satellites chewing up the ozone layer
What’s this Bread Day about?
I had no idea either, its new after my time at least
The holiday was established in 2006 on the initiative of the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs. And the choice of date is due to the fact that on October 16, 1945, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was created, which dealt with the problems of developing agriculture and its production. Incidentally, another holiday is also timed to coincide with this event - World Food Day.
This article is a little weirdly structured, like yeah the traditional values indoctrination is cringe, they say that they saw this in a bunch of schools October 14-21 and that it was mostly non-military stuff
However, most of the reports reviewed by 7x7 focused on topics unrelated to politics or the war. Lessons were also held in connection with Father’s Day and Bread Day, and several kindergartens discussed what it means to be an adult.
Part of the reason theyre having soldiers in and related activities around 10/22 is that its white crane day, which is a day when WW2 fallen get remembered, and part of the reason for the veteran reading poems is because the holiday itself is named after a poem.
they only mention in the article that it was a poem about the SMO, but on the linked VK post they say that it was poems that he had written about exploits of people in the great patriotic war, and the SMO. the actually noteworthy thing for Western readers I think is the way that they're being tied together, for a lot of Russians the framing that one is a continuation of the other lands.
Just based off how comfortable Americans are, no.
The point of what I was saying was that it's not as explicitly gender-neutral as something like "person". Thus the example of asking a cishet guy how that guy he married is doing, it just doesn't scan. It's not a huge distinction in most situations and is generally appropriate, but its also pretty clearly a passive aggressive dig when it's used in situations where it's the singular and the subject has made their gender clear.
You're welcome to dispute that it's not used as passive aggressive dig, but I'm just citing lived experience.
Yeah the passage of time sure is crazy.
I'm still masking regardless
Me:
If someone asks a cishet guy how many guys they've been with
You:
If someone asks a cishet guy how many people they’ve been with
If you were calling me a person rather than a "guy" I would have no issue this whole time, notice how you just changed my wording to make your argument work?
I think I'll refrain from taking English language advice, or life advice from you
Yes, shoot the guns
I'll make sure to file this away the next time I feel like bringing up the US's active participation in genocide any time the US is the subject of conversation.
