„Don’t make me hungry if you won’t feed me“
It’s kind of interesting how different the statement looks depending on the pov.
In the middle of the night, in the dark kitchen, in front of a fridge: cute
In the middle of the night, in a dark alley, a man says the same sentence to a woman: …
Being invisible because I’m old.
They mention the app in the article.
“The WHO delayed declaring a global public health emergency and a pandemic during the early stages of COVID-19, costing the world critical weeks as the virus spread.”
What?
It was the US who ignored everything.
December 31, 2019
WHO notified by China about mysterious pneumonia cases in Wuhan.
USA: No action.
January 30, 2020
WHO declares PHEIC (highest alert before a pandemic).
USA: No federal mask mandate, no travel restrictions, few tests.
March 11, 2020
WHO officially declares COVID-19 a pandemic.
USA Trump says same day: “The risk to the U.S. is very low.”
March–May 2020
WHO strongly recommends masks, testing, lockdowns.
USA Trump: “Masks are optional,” “The virus will disappear.”
December 2020

The perfect excuse for invoking the insurrection act and then cancel the midterms.
What is wrong with Australia?

“Which is not to say I wouldn’t have liked a condemnation, but I’m just not sure what it would have brought us.”

Not only would it cost America a generation, each country, each area under the American influence will suffer the same.
Do I think Maduro is a great guy? No, of course not. Does that mean I think the US action in Venezuela is justified? Definitely not. This isn’t about Maduro, it’s about the US going into another country kidnapping someone just because he’s in the way of their interests.
What if the next time it’s someone you don’t think is an arsehole? Who decides how much of an arsehole someone needs to be for the US to kidnap that person and for you to be ok with that?
Not to be rude, but misogynistic arseholes come in different political flavours.
No matter the circumstances or reasons, forcing women to give birth is horrifying. Where this leads is pretty clear: a lot of women would rather live celibate than be forced to give birth. That in turn will convince men to go back to a time when husbands had the legal right to have sex with their wives no matter whether women wanted that, effectively legalizing rape. We have seen that before in history.
Judging by what is happening currently not only in Russia but also in the USA, we are heading down a dangerous path. It’s crucial to stand against these oppressive measures and advocate for women’s reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.
The argument that “they wouldn’t have to do this if they just did (not) do xyz” is essentially saying that they have a good reason to do this because of what they shouldn’t have done in the first place.
IT’S NEVER OK!

Atheists: who cares?
I don’t want adventures, I had enough adventures in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and certainly in 2025.
I want some boring peace, second breakfasts and no adventure at all.
I can answer that if you tell me what your definition of “dark side” is.
Well, the revolution in East Germany (1989) was pretty peaceful and led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and ultimately to the reunification of Germany.
Bin ich fasziniert von Katzen? Ganz klar: ja (und von Hunden, und eigentlich allen Tieren).
Bin ich fasziniert von online cat content? Nö. Mich nervt vor allem die Sprachverhunzung die in den meisten Fällen über einem eher alltäglichen Bild einer Katze verwendet wird.
Ich kann jedoch nicht verstehen, dass jemand mit Katzen nichts anfangen kann oder diese sogar hasst. Je stärker die Ablehnung anderer gegenüber Tieren, je größer ist mein Misstrauen gegenüber diesen Menschen.
For both, boys and girls, the hardest part is becoming yourself against all expectations from family, friends and society.
For girls the expectations are extremely focused on everything outside, how you are perceived. You‘re supposed to be cute, pretty, soft, styled to the max. You learn that you’re not supposed to go outside without altering your appearance, you learn that your natural looks are ugly. You learn, that intelligence or success is not something desirable as you’re supposed to be „less than a man“, in everything.
You learn that you need to yearn for a husband and kids, that you are not complete without them. That you are mentally wrong if you want something different. That your achievements in life are worth nothing if you don’t meet the expectations.
You learn that you need to alter your voice as you’re supposed to be soft spoken, hyper empathetic and forgiving.
Your not supposed to lead, you‘re supposed to serve, and they tell you, that it’s in your genes to be like this.
And don’t get me started on the perverted expectation that women are responsible for the actions of a man which is thrown at you at a very young age.
