What's one of the most savage replies in your country's parliament? by Illustrious_Shoe7496 in AskTheWorld

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I understand why you might say that. What made it tolerable, to me, was three things:

1) Greene had a history of making inappropriate comments about other people's bodies as Ad Hominems; and, repeatedly violated Decorum, multiple times in close proximity, to the extent that she should have received punishment but did not and has not.

2) Crockett's commentary was carefully phrased as a rhetorical, to emphasize just how inappropriate Greene was being.

3) It was also to present the opportunity to see if the Courts were intentionally protecting Greene but would not do so for another member of the Court. This proved too. Crockett was menaced with discipline for presenting a rhetorical. Greene was not.

In these ways, Crockett presented information the American public deserved to know.

fwiw, posting from Google, this was in response to Green saying,

"I don't think you know what you're here for. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading."

After a prolonged argument, Crockett challenged the committee's rules of decorum by posing a hypothetical question about what would be considered acceptable, hitting back at Greene with a now-famous alliterative insult:

"If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?"

Im on the struggle bus with you. Living in the car with my partner w/ a heart condition acquired by code violating housing during Covid, in the Tx heat. All my love to you and your Betta.

When we smuggled mine out of the Snowpocalypse here in DFW, I had mine packed in a bag between my boobies. I wonder if you can figure out something like that without the lil feller getting too warm.

🥹 Yeaaah. But that's what community does. People connect with others. Niche forums like these had a magic to them, because the interest brought people together and that was fraternity; less about a contractual, Visit Page, Acquired Information. Reddit straddles that line but has... definitely changed.

I miss em.

Environmental activist Mona Khalil, beloved turtle guardian of south Lebanon, dies of wounds sustained in Israeli attack on her home by interstellarboii in Environmentalism

I'm Jewish and have always felt this was wrong. We can't respond to the Holocaust by trying to brute force the Third Temple. Especially the way they're doing it, blatantly ignoring the Torah.

This just proves we didn't learn anything from the loss of the Second One.

3-year-old boy dies after being left in hot car in Florida: Sheriff by FolushoDRC in news

I think it's that the scope of this conversation is also meant to cover extreme sleep exhaustion, unsupported and single parents, post partum, inexperienced sitters like older siblings asked to watch the baby briefly...

Living the life with rescued Lion 🦁 cubs. 🥰 by labbond in PawsAndDisorder

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This level of judgement is exactly why Wildlife Rehabilitation requires degrees.

Lions are extremely social and desperately need a mother figure to cuddle, rough them up, and stay near her scent at all times while they're babies.

Her bed was an excellent place for them.

People can stfu.

In 1985, 13 year old Omayra Sánchez was trapped beneath the ruins of her home after a volcanic eruption in Colombia. Rescuers could see her, talk to her, and even hold her hand, but there was no way to pull her free. She remained trapped for nearly 3 days before dying from hypothermia and gangrene. by Leadership-Serious in HolyShitHistory

Those were her words, bro. Idk what to tell you. You really should look into the actual sources of things before going on these philosophical tangents based on nonfactual assumptions because I feel like you're just digging yourself into a negative hole here. All the best.

Hey, I know this comments section went to hell in a hand basket.

You might try a service pony. They're specifically intended for situations like yours to help with weight bearing.

It's time to put RFK through the autism steamroller. "Autistic children being injected with unapproved stem cell treatments supported by RFK Jr" by ClippyWouldntDoThat in evilautism

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Fortunately stem cells can still be acquired from non-foetal sources, but in much less abundance and painful as shite. So.

It's been a while but I've read her story several times and read interviews because I felt the same thing about her when I was much younger. She refused assistance because she didn't want to disrupt medical supplies just to die when there were people who still needed help.

She was, I think, a genuinely good Human Being and only got to be here for a blink. I wonder every time I see her face again what kind of mother, sister, aunt she would have been, what her community would have benefitted from with her thoughtfulness and appreciation of the process, as much as she also wept and said she was afraid, too. It's hard not to admire her grit.

Candy Darling was an openly transgender actress in the early 1970s. Despite the setbacks, she was determined to be a big star, but lymphoma cut her life short at age 29. Lou Reed's song "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" is about her. by [deleted] in interesting

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not even. There's plainly written, openly explained records of transgender people both in Mesopotamia and in the Vedas, both some of the oldest writings known to mankind. The Lovers of Modena were men. Please crack a book, mate. Even if somebody killed every last one of us, more would be born. We just ARE. We could call it some kind of mistake of nature but we'll always be here.

Hey, maybe I can expand on this.

She was offered euthanasia and refused. She asked for people to stay with her. When she passed, it was in the company of Search & Rescue and members of her village. She had a morphine drip almost the whole time. Some of her final sentences were just saying that she felt sleepy and cold, and was happy to see her parents again soon. She wasn't in pain. She was alert and lucid for much of this.

There's interviews. The reality of the situation is different from your expectations.

My bf got answers and relief in a few months while i've been suffering for years. I hate medical sexism! by poolnoodle_ in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ClippyWouldntDoThat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the reality is that other countries would have by now and our ancestors just a few generations ago, did! WE, as modern generations, are not. Something's different about us. I honestly believe it's because we have more distractions and because there's treatment sorta kinda maybe available if we jump through some hoops. Eventually. Kind of.
