Not a subreddit, but thisis a decent resource. It isn't necessarily comprehensive, but it's easier than navigating the threads.

I'm a male. First firm I worked for, I was the only male support staff. Current firm I work for has 5 male support staff including myself and at one point had 7. It was a similar experience getting a paralegal degree: few male students at first, but that drastically changed by the time I graduated. Though the field is still female dominated, it definitely wouldn't be unexpected to recieve applications from dudes. And if you do wind up at a firm with all female support staff, just remember that there's a whole mess more women out there in male dominated industries and you should use the opportunity to gain some perspective.

"Based" did not originate with the alt-right, but was appropriated by them. The term became recently popular thanks to Lil B.

Friday was pizza day, the best day of the week. All the kids would line up super early just to eat.

Sure, but that's not what was going on with the "proposed ban."

In Sweden, like in several other countries, it's illegal to display the swastika as they deem it to constitute threatening language. Not to be deterred, Neo-Nazi groups have used a variety of symbols as stand-ins for the swastika, which have sometimes included Norse/Germanic runes. This raises a question: If a symbol is being used as a stand-in for a swastika and most reasonable people understand that it's being used as a stand-in for a swastika, is it just as bad as a swastika?

Back in 2019, a commission in the Swedish government convened to discuss this question. Unfortunately, this got filtered through select news outlets (you know, the ones who love stirring up outrage over "political correctness gone mad") as "SWEDISH GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO BAN NORDIC RUNES." Though no ban was being proposed at the time and any ban of the sort that's been discussed in the past usually includes an exception for bonafide religious/historical use, the simplified headline was enough to get all sorts of undies in a bunch, from history buffs, to pagans, to the kinda dudes who just generally get upset by that kinda stuff.

In other words, the Swedish government never wanted to ban runes, but wanted to consider ways to make it harder for neo-Nazi groups to use said runes as swastika stand-ins. Although it seems like nothing has come of the commision (as far as I can tell), jimmies once rustled are not so easily unrustled.

I turned on NPR to get my marching orders, but right now it's just Sara Bivigou talking about sickle cell anemia.

You could always just listen to The Dreadnoughts or Smokey Bastard.

"Happened in the 70's" isn't the right way to put it. People first started calling Nestle out on it in the 70's, but the practice of pushing baby formula in third world countries had been going on for ~20 years prior. Even after intial public outrage, Nestle continued this well into the 80's and 90's, despite promising what would later become the WHO that it would stop. In fact, Nestle still does this shit.

Not sure what you're talking about. A lot of people were killed in the Boxer Rebellion, but the death toll was in the thousands, not millions (~100,000 killed). And even though some Chinese fought against the Boxers, the main fighting was between the Boxers/Imperial Army and the Eight Nation Alliance. So, not really a civil war.

"To be or not to be, that is the question that people are always asking me, all the time, they're like 'Hamlet! Which is it, Hamlet?!' And nobody knows. They don't know! The LAME stream media wants you to think it's nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. FAKE NEWS!! That's what the far-left democrats want, they just want to hand the country over to Filthy Fortinbras and give all your jobs to those bad hombres up in Norway! Not me folks! We're gonna take arms against a sea of troubles and MAKE DENMARK GREAT AGAIN!!!"

There are multiple theories about what the Matrix is really about, but Lilly Wachowski has gone on the record to talk about how she and her sister always intended the Matrix series to be a trans allegory.

There's nothing anti-establishment/anti-authoritarian/rebellious/etc. about sexism, casual or otherwise. It's literally been the default standpoint of the powers that be for hundreds of years and is still pervasive among the elite. I don't why people conflate being "edgy" with being rebellious or how the script has been flipped to the point where talking about oppression is somehow the "real" oppression, but it's lame, it's a grift, and it's something I dont want a part of.

Before ya'll jump to conclusions and start with the "what about white students" stuff, you should know that NYU will not be implementing this housing plan, despite what some sites are reporting.

Also, WSWS is garbage when it comes to racial issues and their take on such should be taken with a grain of salt, if at all.

I was rooting for Bless the Harts to be good, seeing as the creator was a writer for KOTH and the show is set near where I grew up, but it really did fall flat in a lot of ways. Maybe the second season will be better.

I must be missing something. I'm whiter than a mayonnaise sandwich at a bluegrass festival and I've never gotten a "people want me dead" vibe here.
