I agree it should not be performed on a non-consenting individual, ESPECIALLY KIDS, but please do not claim the result is guaranteed to reduce sensitivity, as it is simply not true. Source: I am living proof the opposite can actually happen!
I had phimosis and experienced paraphimosis which can result in losing the whole thing. A circumcision was one of the best decisions of my adult life. It is NOT a sexual death sentence or designed to be only that. It can in fact be a saviour.
Deporting the kid contributed to a statistic that they are publicly presenting as positive action, which is allowing them to cling to power. That’s it. That is the banality of evil.
Maybe it was her first time seeing moving pictures? 😏

It’s good but you forgot to capitalise the buzzwords: “If any LIBERALS really want HANDOUTS, maybe they can try their hands out in the MINES!” Then throw in a laughing emoji after saying something totally dangerous: “Honestly if you have democrat parents you should have to pay more for school 😂”
Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.
It was just probably just some poor guy with magical thinking OCD. “If I don’t repeatedly draw symbols in the dirt, my whole family will die.”
You’re both right - spending tons of money just to build influence does not buy you respect, but investing your money in something that contributes to the greater good does. Unfortunately for Elon, this requires good intentions and substantial effort, neither of which he possesses. So, he bought an epic gamer account to brainwash the most vulnerable members of society into believing he’s some kind of 22nd century technogenius! Seriously, what the fuck is actually wrong with this man???
Yet they can’t cut a promo!

I never understood why people hated smart TVs until one day mine decided to install an update that presents me with advertisements and a hub screen when I turn it on. If I don’t select something in time, the screen disappears, which locks all of the controls, and I can only reset it by turning it off and on again. Why??? Just why?!?!
How about “dry dogged”? Who wouldn’t want to be dry dogged?
Ooooopsieeees it was me 🙈
Great explanation - thank you for re-explaining it to another stranger who’s wandered in here. You’ve explained it well as did another - it’s moreso the case that the optics of Trump Vs. Biden or Rep Vs. Dem looks like a great difference to an outsider, when in reality they’re upholding each other. And totally agreed on the participation of the broken system Vs. useful organisation, makes sense why you’d disregard the election.
I think your explanation has best explained it - you see it more as both parties sort of upholding an undemocratic status quo (as you said, Republicans actively doing x activity with Democrats either not doing enough to counteract or being implicit) rather than the Dems/Biden offering a tangible actual long-term change. I understand as well that the party had better candidates than Biden/Hillary but the candidacy is heavily dependent on funding/donations, which is wildly inequitable. Thank you for taking the time to explain, very informative.
European lefty here with some questions for the anti-both crowd.
With the FPTP voting system, aren’t you limited to a binary choice between Trump and Biden? I agree that Biden has been shamefully complicit in the Palestinian genocide (among broken campaign promises and rightful health concerns), though I would imagine that “finish the job” Trump would be a more destructive choice. Would it not be marginally better to have Biden in office?
I don’t hold Biden in the view of someone who is a champion of environmentalism or global peace, but an anti-NATO, anti-climate science, fraudster surely would be more likely to implement harmful changes that are difficult to reverse versus a generic neoliberal?
Of course, this is through the perspective of your current voting system; ideally you would have third-party options that you could realistically elect that are not fronted by genocide supporters. In a case where you had the option for ranked choice or approval voting, who would your ideal party or candidate be?
(Not a troll/criticism post - genuinely curious about the spectrum of American politics coming into the election!)
“wtf bro it’s just 4 hours of Megadeth” - yes, and???
