The usual nonsense then.
Former long-time lurker of r/CTH. Just want to chat and post with some comrades. Maybe make some some funny comments along the way.
The usual nonsense then.
What’s going on here, exactly? Why are people mad at the person who played one of the leads in LA By Night? I’m usually the last to know these things.
Tbh, in the back of my mind I was wondering how much of such a strong reaction against something like astrology in the OP comes from an unstated/unexamined/unconscious bias against some activities women engage in because they’re “too emotional.” It brings up the old patriarchal dichotomy of irrational women, rational men. I think that should be carefully examined in unpacking the topic of the original post.
I’m not sure myself. Maybe they’re referring to stuff like indigenous technical knowledge of environmental management. When you look into that, all the generations of accumulated knowledge gained by observation and experimentation, it really upends the traditional Western descriptions of indigenous peoples as lacking any scientific tradition.
It blew my mind when I learned about it, especially the major environmental impacts not maintaining those systems had on the western hemisphere post-Columbus.
I’d say not necessarily everyone, but I guess it exists for some people.
I just see it as a way some people of all genders try to fill the space left by religion. It doesn’t necessarily have to be coded as an activity exclusive to one gender. I know plenty of guys into stuff like that. I’ve heard others describe this phenomenon as a way to question the accuracy of outcomes predicted by the secularization thesis.
Regardless, I still am diplomatic with people who like that stuff, despite me not believing in it. I don’t want to come off the same way the New Atheists did when discussing religion. That sort of militant attitude can be off-putting when trying to make the case for socialism.
I’d say the best way to discourage taking such practices too seriously, I’d suggest deconstructing such practices by reading about it’s history. Understanding the history of a topic helps one realize the fallible and changing nature of a supposedly unchanging process for discerning truth. I use the same approach with religion
Freedom of movement for all bolides.
Is this guy dropping out yet?
Roughly, what I’ve heard is that they made gains under the NLRB regime of the Wagner Act but, at the price of having that be dependent on the state, which has the power to certify and decertify unions. The period of significant gains was short, lasting from the mid 30s to Taft Hartley. Then you had the post war labor compact, which lasted until the profitability crisis of the 70s made capital take away the seat they gave labor at the table to help recoup profitability.
Jeez, that’s some rice paper-thin skin right there.
Isn’t this the trap that Matt told us about in his description of how the two parties operate: The Bourgeois electoral system as a competition to see which faction can mobilize it’s base of supporters to make the opposing faction’s supporters miserable by utilizing the machinery of state.
Basically the temptation to get lost in electoralism by owning the libs/chuds.
I think the equivalent of that in my area were these nylon book socks. We would stretch them over the textbook covers.
Yes! We love to hear it.
Did she mention Hannibal Lecter and the handsome generals? My mom said she heard that. That’s the stuff on my bingo card that I live for.
So, the sort of northerner who would have voted for George Wallace?
. Is he like a Dixiecrat or something? Like some sort of Wrangle Island holdout. I didn’t know there were still Democratic voters like that.
This but, it’s done in the style of one of those Josh4Congress posts.
Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed.
It’s insulting that they no longer have the decorum to even ask for your vote. They just keep asking for money for their LinkedIn ponzi scheme.
I don’t even have any to give them. If they want a ton of money, they should go beg Miriam Adelson for some more of that blood money that she’s been liberally spending in the primaries.
I hate how this guy used to capture my father’s attention. He thought this guy was somehow some sort of authentic practitioner. He’s just as corrupt as our local priests who work hand in glove with the local Republicans.
She really devalues the concept of “leadership.” Real leaders take responsibility for the failures that happen under their tenure, instead of blaming entire countries.
To this day, I partially blame the Democrat’s rabid desire to prolong the Russo Ukrainian War on their steadfast belief in the baseless conspiracies she endorsed to cover her own ass.
