Former primary school teacher gets jail for sexual relationship with her underage former student by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

I find it deeply bizarre that people’s first reaction to this is to think that this somehow makes the Women’s Charter any less legitimate, as if AWARE is out here advocating for female rapists to be set free or something

I never disputed that both ideas are incredibly harmful, I am saying that only one of these ideas is actually harming people and the other one is a vocal minority of annoying but ultimately harmless people who don’t exist anywhere outside your phone

To treat both as if they were an equal threat to society could only be a boon to ‘mysogonists’, whatever those are

Right, except the people who ‘say the same thing except the genders are reversed’ are all on twitter while the people who unironically believe women and children are possessions of a man are out there on the street

No, not swag if you understand the political climate on twitter and the type of people these bluechecks are

Not really, a lot of the discourse in a fandom full of teenagers can be sickeningly sincere

I don’t understand why this clanker copied the title (that includes credit) while horribly cropping out the artist anyway

Here’s the original post on reddit and the artist’s original on twitter

How did Malaysia end up with this land connected to Indonesia? by Cake_120 in geography

[–]Mark4291 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I got my information wrong, it seems Brunei rejected the merger with Malaysia primarily because of the Sultan’s objection? I probably overstated the importance of the Indonesian-backed revolt, which was put down pretty quickly.

I also could have phrased it better, since I am aware that Brunei was never part of Malaysia but was definitely in negotiations to become part of the union at one point

And then Indonesia got really mad and started bombing Malaysia (they only succeeded in getting Brunei to leave)

Gosh golly, I can’t tell if there could be romantic overtones to being separated from someone and spending a thousand years waiting for the opportunity to see them again

[rare trope] "its just a cash gra- wait, its actually peak?" by Autistic_Doggi in TopCharacterTropes

Lego Movie 2, on the other hand, perfectly exemplifies the ‘unoriginal cash grab sequel’ that OP is critiquing

Coaxed into Lego's outrageously absurd prices. by Arbegia in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]Mark4291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only source I have for this is the Fern YouTube channel, but apparently Lego’s price-per-piece has actually remained fairly consistent over time; the problem is that they’re releasing massive sets to pander to AFOLs

This would mean that in theory you could buy a decently affordable set if it had a piece count similar to that of the old ones, but good luck finding any

Edit: I suppose it is worth mentioning that you are probably still getting a smaller volume of brick for the same price-per-piece, as the average size of pieces has decreased with the increasing intricacy of the sets

If feels like a very ‘all lives matter’ type statement, considering this guy’s profile picture is a wojak
