racism@0x4d6165 that's a whole fucking thing, lke being a white person in the hood because that's the only place you can afford to rent, then by being there ( and i play guitar n shit if i lived in LA i would be active in punk scene blah blah, well just by being white in a multi-racial area and paying rent and asosciated with other whites you're participating in the gentrification process whether you want to or not, so
I'd probably get myself shot because i have this big fish small pond complex and i like to talk about anarchism very loudly
racism@0x4d6165 no i wouldn't go outside because the air is all fucked up and there's no trees and and the traffick is crazy, if i did live in LA i'd certainly live in the hood, idk how people even afford to live there
racism@0x4d6165 i don't think i would even go outside if i lived in LA, especially not in the day time, i am nocturnal, maybe if there was a riot i'd go out, that's what sucks about living in a mid size city you can't really get a sustained urban insurrection going
political shitpost, this will not work and have bad consequencesspread misinformation that chemicals in the water are turning people trans so that it tricks right wingers into regulating poluters with a venture
tho thing about right wing hippie environmentalism like organic farming n shit it's actually not eco-friendly in practice, just a big scam that promotes paranoid delusions as marketing strategy ( alex jones sells 'male vitality supplements' i think that's one of his main revenue streams )
what jones did is bring up the problem of polution and skew it with his weird homophobic politics and so literally no one could agree with him, and the issue itself because assasociated with unhinged wingnuttery
@0x4d6165 yes of course, that is more joining the picket line, you are allowed to pass with the consent of the workers, notice how "cross" has a double meaning in english, to cross a person is to get on their bad sign, so that's what i mean by cross a picket line because you don't want to get on it's bad side
some people you just don't get along with, that's okay, you don't have to like the people you share affinity with, as long as you treat everyone with basic respect you can avoid unnecessary conflict and work together in a respectful comradely way
@nemesis oh you're fine, the main takeaway is just that the SCOTUS does not, cannot craft laws or policy as such, their role is to determine whether or not a law or policy is constitutional, or how the law should be interpreted in cases where there is ambiguity or disagreement
Prediction time; attitudes toward sex throughout history@nemesis
The main obstacle is having a case go to the court, so, there would have to a state enforcing an old law or passing a new law that restricts certain forms of sex, and so SCOTUS wouldn't have to implement the ban so much as strike down previous rulings declaring it's a 'state's rights issue' this is the same way that would 'legalize' bans on inter-racial mairage... in either case many states still have these laws on the books, they're just not enforced and so they'd be 'reactivated' in the case of such rulings.
was thinking about this the other day: how bird song is not considered real language or communication because it's repetitive, but there's obviously a reason birds are making all that noise, maybe there is some syntax in the subtle variations of those repetitive patterns we don't pick up on that communicate more complex information
like greeks called everyone else "babarians" because they thought they talked like this "babababa"
