Rust Cohle sees you and has a vision about the vast emptiness of space, where he realizes that life has no meaning and time just repeats endlessly in an inescapable loop. He numbs himself every night trying to forget you, but he canât escape the gravity of your memory. Heâs pulled under the darkness, like a crashing ocean wave, and heâs drowning, over and over, in the inky blackness. He realizes youâre trans five years later, after everything he loves is dead, because heâs the only one who can.
Would you use the term âbitchâ when talking about dogs? Or just say female dog to avoid being misunderstood? It used to be used that way, but now youâre going to sound like an asshole if you use it.
Once people start using a technical term as a slur, it gets tainted by that additional meaning. You canât forcefully separate the technical term from the slur. If you donât want people to think youâre throwing around slurs, you need to find a new word to use.
Don't blame the people hurt by the slurs, blame the assholes who misused the word so often that they fucked up its meaning.
Downvoting isnât for disagreement. If you think the conversation is valuable you can upvote for visibility while disagreeing in a comment. This is important subject matter that needs to be hashed out!
Theses is the plural of thesis. Kinda looks stupid out of context but there you go.
If itâs popular in Germany, given by a German parent to a German child and based on a Hebrew root word, Iâd argue itâs a German name as much as it is Portuguese, Spanish, or Italian.
Itâs all semantics though, I assumed your original question was about how common the name was in Germany, not about its linguistic roots. It seems fairly common. If youâre looking for a deep dive on the history of the name Iâll let you do your own research because I honestly donât give a shit and youâre being kind of rude.
Wikipedia says the root is Hebrew. SoâŚ. a European name? Seems pretty popular in Germany.
Yep, I know a Manuela from Germany!
Maybe it would be more useful if it was like a chemical hazard label. Add symbols for what kind of alterations were done, i.e skin texture removed đŤĽ, body shape changed đ§ââď¸, teeth whitened đŹ, etcâŚ
I love the way Fallout 2 (maybe also 1, itâs been forever and I canât recall) changes your dialogue options if you have low intelligence. Itâs like a whole other game.
I read it as Dad told the cop why he was going so fast, and cop thought it was funny and decided to help him win. Not totally unrealistic; cops get bored and hate paperwork, and love breaking the law.
Itâs VERY mild approval. Like a step above OK. Iâm acknowledging the existence of the thing and maybe nodding my head or giving a thumbs up, but Iâm forgetting it immediately as soon as it leaves my field of view.
This is the world feminists want. Dude is happy, bear is happy, lady is hiking without being attacked.
Your condescending tone and weird insistence that we only talk about very specific topics in very specific ways makes me think youâre not interested in a good faith discussion at all.
You seem upset, so I wonât push any more. Hope you feel better soon!
What aspect of your post are you interested in discussing? I found your assertion that the fear was irrational interesting, but if thatâs off-limits we can talk about some other partâŚ
Iâm certainly not arguing that the USâs behavior in this case is good, Iâm just not seeing the connection to fascism.
Authoritarianism is about a governmentâs relationship to its own citizens, not its posture towards foreign governments. An authoritarian country can be completely isolationist, like North Korea, or warlike and expansionist like nazi Germany.
For fascism a hallmark is government capture of business within the country. It can take the form of cooperation like the USâs relationship with BP, but ultimately this kind of cooperation is about fulfilling the totalitarian regimeâs goals, not the businesses.
Primary to fascism is NATIONALISM, like your second quote states. Arguably the US is well down the road to fascism, we have a cult of personality building around Trump, focused on making the US âgreat againâ, demonizing and othering his opposition within the country. If he were to seize power Iâd argue weâre there. I just donât think our colonialist mindset towards other countries is a symptom or indication of fascism. Itâs just yet another way weâre a garbage country.

The new buttons for commenting and voting take up a whole bunch of space at the bottom of each comment. I think it would be more compact and readable if those buttons move up to the top of the comment.
The comment button could move right next to the three dot menu (or comment could become an option in the three dot menu).
The vote buttons could be combined with the vote counters already displayed (i.e. click the upvote arrow or upvote count to upvote the comment).
I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. Iâd be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, theyâre just not as comfortable. Letâs normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I framed my favorite birb art from the internet, hereâs a photo of my little buddy checking it out. He looks rather unimpressed.
