https://thenevadaindependent.com/ar...anning-into-law My state loving enshrined in law women's rights. I'm very proud. I have been present at hearings and committees, as a stand in for my good friend's group, NARAL. She's a loving beast and is kind of a hero, being on the front lines trying to change minds on life and death. She's even been mentioned and photoed and captioned in the news several times. I'm so proud to call her one of my best friends. E: holy gently caress I shouldn't have rushed, I'm sorry. I don't know how to change the thread icon or the title.

Yeah it was dicey. Senate was not thrilled to sign, and the vote went down party lines. Sisolak I believe was rumored to be against the measure initially, but that's complete hearsay.

Does Trump know what tarrifs are, or how they work? Or have people been telling him it's a tribute that China and Mexico has to pay him to export stuff?

There has been consistent reporting for like a year of people trying to explain to Donnie Dumbfuck what a tariff is and no, he does not know how they work. He has insulated himself with yes men and cronies. Whenever some outsider with stupid elitist bullshit like a degree in economics says the bad words at him he throws a tantrum and they're kicked out by his minions so they can coddle his ego. This is why you see his inner circle getting called out on live TV over and over again on how tariffs work. They have to repeat the insulating layer's lie to maintain their position. bird food bathtub fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jun 1, 2019 |

A lot of the states passing stuff like decrim/legalization/etc. aren't doing it with a concrete plan because they're expecting it to become federally regulated and a standard to be applied, at least that's what a coworker's daughter told me after working for the state legislature for the last few years. They're hoping it hits a critical mass of states and the switch gets flipped in DC. edit: BigDave posted:

Read a blurb about it last night, Illinois' bill would expunge records of possession of less than 30g along with the legalization. Tooo late, Illinois. You can't lure me back to the cornfields with legal weed when I have it already next to much better scenery, lower state income taxes, and no tornadoes.

When a woman he hired turned out to be beautiful, he fumed online: “An 8/10 girl works for me since today. I’m going to dominate the hell out of her. Trust me, I’m going to kill her confidence.” Women with babies ignited anger, too. “Every time I pass by a pram, it fills me with disgust to know that she has ruined her body and chose to reproduce with another guy,” he wrote. Other users responded with gifs: angry WWE faces, a cackling Nic Cage. “Seeing women taking care of their sons is the only situation in which I don’t hate them,” agreed one user named Biebercel. quote:Truth4lie’s friends hated Chad, but they were also convinced their lives would improve significantly if they could somehow become Chad. They tried “gymceling” and “steroidmaxxing” (incel-speak for bodybuilding and taking steroids). They tried jelqing (penis-stretching exercises) and mewing (chewing hard foods to bulk up the masseter muscles, said by British orthodontist Mike Mew to augment the jawline). They tried pulling on their faces to reshape them. quote:What Is the Maximum Size of Testicular-Enlargement Implants?” The largest Eppley has done so far is seven centimeters in diameter. quote:“I hope everything goes well and this will be a real change,” he wrote on the forum. “But where do I need to begin? I need women, lots of women, to make up for my miserable life. I need a new social circle, a new identity, a new life. I’ve been thinking of leaving my country. I want to live in hotels in tropical countries and live a playboy life there, only loving hot blonde European girls. I have the money, I have the freedom. I need to go and leave this goddamn rotten place, need to leave everything behind, my old life.”

Does the idea ever cross their minds that the reason why they aren't very popular with women isn't their looks, and is actually their lovely attitudes and philosophies? I'm guessing that level of self awareness is beyond them.

Edit: I think we need a highlight show for incels. Top 10 posts of the week or something. Because when they peak, it's amazing. But I don't want a full ESPN for them...it would just be sad most of the time. Edit2: I actually can't even get through that whole article. Goddamn.

It's a combination of individual mental illness (either inherent or acquired) and social influence that turns into a self-sustaining cycle. You can write whole PhD theses on the nature of this social phenomenon, and people have already. The short end of it is that it's an individual issue that is compounded by social influence.

quote:Mike, a tour guide in Austria in his mid-30s, has spent so much time on incel forums that he “doesn’t know anyone in real life anymore.” But he’s not technically an incel, he says: He’s slept with 50 women in his life, though only “10 percent were hot.” “An average man has to swipe about 114 times on Tinder to get one match,” Mike said when we talked on WhatsApp. On the forum, meanwhile, he has read about “how many matches and messages women get, even women with gross deformities, women with disabilities, morbidly obese women.” This guy isn’t an incel, he’s just an rear end in a top hat. And the comments, oh the comments. The very first one is by a guy who’s advocating for people to be taxed on their sexual activity  Frankly, I do feel sympathy for these people who feel alienated and alone on account of their body dysmorphia, but if you’re a dickhead like Mike, maybe the type of facial rearrangement surgery you should be considering would be best done with 9mm JHP before you turn into Elliott Rodgers.

pantslesswithwolves posted:This guy isn’t an incel, he’s just an rear end in a top hat. Incels aren't just guys who don't gently caress. It's guys who subscribe to an entire ideology about how the feminist conspiracy has destroyed video games, society and their lives. They reassure each other that they have no hope of ever having a relationship and reinforce that the only way out is suicide or "striking back." They worship Elliot Roger and they are the guys who shoot up a yoga studio every few months or run over a bunch of people. In short incels are indeed assholes.

From the little ive paid attention to them they think that its only their looks holding them back because they see jersey shore and think its real. They see the lovely douchebag attitude protrayed in media and think thats how bulked up rich guys actually attract women, or just their money. The fact that "maybe a woman's purpose isnt to only ride your dick" never crosses their mind has nothing to do with why women find them repulsive

A lot of it boils down to not being able to separate reality from fiction, which to be fair is an extremely pervasive problem in our stupid hairless ape species.

I say this as I drive a gasoline powered car, eat meat that was almost certainly not produced ethically, and use credit cards that are underwritten by the same banks that loan money to Nestle, thus keeping them in business and financing their eventual takeover of everything free and essential to life. This is hellworld, and there's no escaping it. indeed.
