All in Controversial
Comedy is delicate. So we ignore that everyone has retold someone else’s joke.
The eight points above add up to a likelihood that black people will probably be underrepresented in a lot of weird subculturey nonconformist things. This is not a firm law – black people will be overrepresented in a few weird subculturey nonconformist things that are an especially good fit for their culture – but overall I think the rule holds. And that’s a big problem.
Digging deeper down this rabbit hole — and by that I mean, more results on Google — brought up more of the same. “Never, EVER ask” and “you should never ask a woman when her baby is due unless you’re her gynecologist or you’re pretty sure you’re the baby in question’s father.” I read…
On a more nitpicky, “who cares?’ level, the so-called West is now associated with New Zealand, Japan, Israel and other countries that are East on a traditional, Euro/US-centric map. This West/East division perpetuates that these maps are more accurate than others. West is a cardinal…
So I say we should be ashamed of the crime rates and apartheid of St. Louis, where this man managed to murder and walk the streets for hours. We should be more ashamed of the media that pushes this content on us. And we should be even more ashamed of the social media that prioritizes clicks over mental health, wanting us to see content we explicitly do not want to see, just because it gets a reaction. We should never shame the bystandards of horror for their natural reactions. After all, most of us would do the same.
If necessity is the mother of invention, war is the midwife of innovation. Speaking to Ukrainians on a visit to Kyiv in the fall of 2022, I heard from many that the first months of the war were the most productive of their lives. The United States’ last truly global war—World War II—led to the widespread adoption of penicillin, a revolution in nuclear technology, and a breakthrough in computer science. Now, the United States must innovate in peacetime, faster than ever before. By failing to do so, it is eroding its ability to deter—and, if necessary, to fight and win—the next war.
Citations at the end are the, “OH! NOW I GET IT!" of writing.
… And so, 'next Monday’ typically means ‘this Monday.’ If you wanted to say “next Monday” as I mean it, you’d have to say “the following Monday,” pretending not to care that “next” means “the following.” We are burdened by societies’ inability to differentiate “this” and “next.” But if you really want to prevent confusion, just say “the following Monday, the ninth.” In this case, proximity and day of week are relevant, and we forget the number.
Even with all the kind and great people in this beautiful world, a rotten minority can ruin it. The lesson is to ignore the rotten people and focus on the kind. I must have missed this lesson.
Around this time, I averaged a few dates a week. I enjoy dating more than most. Dating is what you make of it. It’s not always an interview. It can be like hanging out with a new friend. Just don’t…
"Ghalib mocked African Americans following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police."
I had seen guns before… There was the time I witnessed a man shot, at my temple. Still, none of my experiences compared to five minutes of my sophomore year.
People care deeply about stray animals, whether it's out of love or fear. Yet there are over populations of stray dogs, cats and other animals all over the world. Governments are not motivated to correct this issue, and certainly not in a humane way. It's time some rich guy stepped up.
I was at my favorite park, Charles Klor, where I often played frisbee with random Jews and Arabs. And, of course, my dog, Naya. Charles Klor is a place where different cultures converge. It splits Jaffa and Tel Aviv propper. Across from it is a large mosque, and it’s common to see people break Ramadan in the park after. Today, the city was setting up stations, stages and more, for a Women’s Run. Workers aside, it was empty. Tons of room for my dog and I to play. As my beautiful, fluffy girl ran from bird flock to bird flock, all I could of was our mutual bliss. Unadulterated by thoughts of work obligations and life stresses.
Me, “Why?”
Them, “Fuck you for asking!”
Russian authoritarians are already acting to remove social media and similar tools from Russian states. They know the damage that will come if US simply had Facebook add a banner demanding protest in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. Massive corporations like Meta and Twitter are not Nato or US. Rather, they are an amazing tool we will soon lose. The US needs to be creative to act without the reprecussions of shooting missiles on Russian or Ukranian soil. Time is of the essence.
I will swipe left on “1.9m and up.”Yay, we BOTH saved time! You dont need to deal with a shorty, I dont need to deal with wearing heels. I might swipe right on “I’m 1.9.” Because I’m fine dating tall women. Hopefully they dont mind I’m smol.
The obvious answer to this is truthful, excessive communication, coupled with affirmative consent. That means “say more” and “ask more.” Don’t ghost, or assume after a date that the other person knows your feelings. Worst case they dont and you’re breaking bad news. Best case, they do know, but will appreciate hearing it aloud.
We dont need to have the same comfort assessing our peers in an office as deciding who gets control of nuclear arms. It doesn’t make sense to treat them the same.
