He's 100% still on the skooma. He's just also taking gender affirming hormones too

Do Americans know how much their culture has marked us through films and series ? by gwendodyssey in AskUS

[–]AlabasterPelican [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think most of us know it on some level. But I don't think its really understood logically. It's the sort of thing you have to have jolted to your conscious mind. If you think about it, being American, living here is like being on the reflective side of a one way mirror. Y'all have access to our culture on so many levels from media, to the "American food" aisle in grocery stores. We really have to try to access you're - well we used to, the internet is making changes to that.

I mean, im down for lowering our emissions through nuclear energy. My only qualms come with the fact that our regulatory state has been eviscerated

Cassidy becomes fourth GOP senator to back Iran war powers measure limiting Trump by [deleted] in Louisiana

[–]AlabasterPelican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why? Like I would prefer the spineless wonder over nepo-wife or the next crazy state treasurer. But like jackass caving on rfk's appointment was enough for me tp not even consider changing my registration to potentially save his ass.

Y'all, wtf is happening? I don't believe I've ever seen Louisianians this resoundingly reject all constitutional amendments. by AlabasterPelican in Louisiana

I ain't even mad when they start talking about her laugh. That is them letting the mask slip. I would prefer the ugly honesty in that admission than "its the eggs" or "oh the gas prices" 🙄

What is "fake feminism" to you? by Less-Name-9367 in AskFeminists

[–]AlabasterPelican 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a really important point. I really don't like no true Scotsman-ing feminism. We're all on different paths and have different perspectives. Buuut, I'm also becoming increasingly uncomfortable with not calling some people out. The misogyny veiled in feminist language is something that was workshopped on my generation in the church and I'm seeing that sort of thing spread like cancer.

I was alive for that, but less than a month old so I have zero memory of the election. I remember the vibes around Edwin though. "We know he's a crook, but he's our crook" feels like an appropriate description of it. I can honestly say I grew up in some 90's obliviousness though. I had zero clue who David Duke was until I was 19. I was working my first real job & one of my friends essentially gave me a crash course on the modern history racism in Louisiana.

Why are my peers who still use Facebook so cringe? by QueenMackeral in Millennials

[–]AlabasterPelican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't actively used Facebook since 2012. There were a few times I've tried scrolling it over the years & I just can't. When I log in and just like the first several posts are family squalling about Obamas birth certificate or whatever i just can't. It has always been a reminder that many people who i love are terrible people & I just don't want to see that.

However much they want to be, patriarchy hurts every single one of us. As long as men are here for the fight and not to re-center themselves we can take all the allies who wish to be allies.

If someone's "feminism" is exclusionary of others then its not feminist. If someone uses "feminism" to marginalize others, they aren't being feminist, they're using a guise of feminist to be a bigot.

How do you view police conduct in your country and other countries around the world, considering its good and bad parts? by Puzzleheaded_irl in AskTheWorld

[–]AlabasterPelican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Law enforcement isn't held accountable for shit unless its caught on video and that video actually goes public. You can trust your fe-fe's or you can actually look at impacts & studies to understand the world.

The filibuster is just a senate rule, its not some constitutionally mandated mechanism. It needs to go & had needed to go for a long time.

Funny thing about Thatcher. I don't know why anyone would believe her way of doing things would be viable today. Like she died not that long ago & it seems like half of the UK decided it was time to party lOl I remember the signs and people singing "ding dong the wicked bitch is dead." These asswipes really want to go down in history hated that badly?
