I’m anticonsumption in general and temu just seems like the epitome of paying for disposable garbage.

In general i don’t understand why people are buying any nonessential items at all. Everyone is apparently too poor but random crap still sells. I splurged and bought a cheap tablet to use as an ereader this year but only because i can’t justify the expense of buying books and my local library is awful.

Economic imbalance is baked into the games.

Taking your own air conditioner and rubbing it in the face of those who can’t afford it, in the olympic village where you’re all supposed to be treated the same, is such a glaring display of economic privilege that i find it bothersome.

I’m always embarrassed by Australia spending a fortune on sport and then congratulating ourselves for winning more medals, especially at the commonwealth games where most of the countries are poor.

You can’t remove individual differences but there ought to be a level playing field at least at the actual competition. Is it acceptable to provide better accommodation to rich countries? White countries? I think at the games everyone should be treated equally.

The athletes who get aircon will also be determined by who comes from a wealthy country. Makes a mockery of the games imo, should disqualify them all for having an unfair advantage.

They want people to smoke, that’s the only explanation. They make money from taxing it and save money when people die early.

Get mental health treatment.

Equality isn’t treating people differently because they are different, it’s treating people the same even if they are different.

This idea really breaks down when you apply it to people with disabilities who have different needs than the norm, and that problem applies to systemically disadvantaged people too. Society isn’t one size fits all, we need to cater to everyone.

I don’t think the average person gives a toss about any of those things or sees them as adding any value to their lives. They believe that journalists are lying propagandists, universities are elitist and out of touch, welfare serves lazy immigrants and social and democratic systems have failed them. Noone really beleives in society anymore, the right would like to create a new one where they fit in.

Deutsch is Pennsylvania Dutch, which is German

They should be Canadans

Carry tampons at all times.

When the monthly misery ends i block out the whole experience and the very existence of menstruation until next time, when i am shocked and angered that this is happening again, already!?! I’m looking forward to menopause.

Bombing everyone in Gaza is a great way to turn many of them into hamas. How are those kids going to grow up sane and normal and make peace with Israel? Imagine a whole society with PTSD, it’s horrifying. Israel knows this too, which is they want to protect themselves through genocide. They really do think those kids are hamas.

Probably because we don’t make cars, or anything else. We dig stuff up, send it to China and buy it back in the form of goods.

I’m 47 and the twentysomethings at work still think i’m their age, its hilarious, some people my age wouldn’t even talk to me until they found out im old like them. Some of us just habve great genes.

I’m curious about what percentage of programmers would give error free answers to these questions in seconds.

I actually like annoying vegans. The truth is that you are right and I just don’t care enough about the planet. You’re far better people than I am. I also think that’s an awfully frustrating thing to say to a vegan.

The cognitive dissonance says i should really try to make some kind of vegan food… Don’t give up.

I value honesty far more than popularity, i guess that explains why i don’t like the comic lol

Angry boomers will love it, also the masculinists who think boys are too weak these days.

I don’t like this for two reasons:

If you have to lie to a person to get them to like you then they don’t actually like you (or know you). So what’s the point?

If you lie to a person to get them to like you then you’re an abusive manipulator who has no business beimg in a relationship.

Imagine if your mom could have had some time and space for herself instead of working constantly and never getting a full nights sleep. What a bitch she would have been.
