Idk where you live, but if there is a ramen shop in your area, they may have some on the menu.

Make that a “FIDUCIARY financial advisor,” important distinction.
It really is incredible that this is what got people in the streets, not the dead and dying children.
I did read it and I didn’t say macklemore was the one who turned her in. Maybe take your own advice.
How the hell is macklemore able to sell tickets anywhere? What hall monitor level ass snitch turned in someone for streaking?
Grandma already needs a walker and a wheelchair, she’ll never recover from that blow.
This is definitely wholesome, but that is also a really cool rock. Everybody wins.
It is quite interesting that you believe prostitution and rape have been “left behind” in any appreciable way. It is also quite interesting that you equate the two. I’m supposed to be just agreeing and disengaging, but that is quite a fascinating mindset.
Wow, that is really predatory.
I can’t help but feel a deep pity for these people. They are so incredibly lonely that they are doling out massive amounts of money across multiple platforms on parasocial relationships.
You see an issue crop up in many areas where something is generally found distasteful by society at large, so it is made illegal by various means, leading to greater harm than if it was just legal and regulated. You will not eliminate demand, therefore you will not eliminate those attempting to supply the demand. If sex work was legalized and regulated, it would be much safer for the workers, customers, and even those who choose not to engage with it all. The current legal environment creates space for trafficking/slavery, public health concerns, and a lack of physical safety for all. While a legal and regulated industry won’t completely remove the black market, it would greatly reduce it and the harms it causes. Is there still demand for dusty garage tattoos? Yes, but that is certainly not the majority of the market.
While I understand the similarity with the latin languages, as it shares that origin, it is its own word. The actual word is being used, not words that sound alike, as it was exported by colonial powers. I don’t have to have lived there to be aware of its use. Hell, anyone that read the post is now aware, there wasn’t any confusion as to what was stated in the peace corps document.
You can not say these things do not have “the connotations or baggage” (how dismissive) that “westerners attach to it.” The N word is an English word with one use, dehumanizing people of African ancestry. Blackface and Sambo imagery are also borne of white supremacist ideals and dehumanizing Africans. That is specifically where this stuff comes from. There is no alternative interpretation. You could maybe say someone is ignorant of the history of the N word, but if you are not racist garbage, the intent of blackface and Sambo imagery is very clear without needing a history lesson. Acting as an apologist for racists is functionally the same as being racist. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression about having dinner with 9 Nazis. 10 Nazis are having dinner.
My understanding is that it is intentionally adulterated by illegal distillers in order to increase potency while keeping costs down in a competitive black market of alcohol sales to those who can not afford legal alchohol.
The larger issue here is that our society idolizes the military in the first place. I find that much more concerning than “stolen valor.”
Don’t tell idaho, their bars will have a “Super awesome straight skinny guy beach days” every Saturday…
I’m very suspicious of this story, myself. Somebody hit that little girl with the racquet.
Demolition Man was a cyberpunk dystopian prediction taken to the absurd in order to be palatable to the masses. Really, though, who’s to say what eventual conglomerate will be on top. Tangential revenue streams and strange mergers could make tomorrow’s winners. Either way, the rest of us lose.
Authoritarian left political positions are very real. What is this?
