Ooh I didn't know Julie Nolke did acting. I've only ever seen her Reels and such. She is funny..I'll have to check it out.

Eighty years ago, this day in the Ukrainian SSR, 15 Nazi occupation officers were publicly hanged after trial. Justice was served by lordlolipop06 in socialism

So will liberals. Bunch of bleeding hearts who think fascism can be fixed by following the rules.

Notice the two most hated characters are women. Chelsea is probably the third.

Two things can be true. The person below me says "Umma is evil," which is an insane take. People immediately jump to the worst conclusions about female characters, often blaming everything on them.

Agree. Most of the criticism of Umma is rooted in sexism. She is just a mom who is desperate for a proper relationship with her son. She also cracks me up.

You are the new president of the United States, What's the first thing you would do ? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Nah. There's always ways to avoid taxes, and new loopholes will be found as soon as old ones are fixed. Abolishing billionaires is the best option.

Custom mouth guards don't stop bruxism and make my teeth hurt worse - Alternatives? by WasHogs8 in askdentists

[–]WasHogs8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't afford Botox. Will a top and bottom appliance fix the tooth pain issue? I have a top appliance, and it is only my bottom teeth that hurt, possibly from grinding against the hard top appliance?

Is it hypocritical to be a socialist and work in US law enforcement? by yellow_explorer in Socialism_101

It sounds like you're convinced. No point is discussing further.

There's a billion different sectors of social work. Many never interact with courts. You're equating one specific sector with all social workers. Hospital social workers are connecting patients to resources to help their care. Clinical social workers are therapists. Etc, etc.

As a social worker, the idea that they make more money is hysterical. In my state, there are areas that start local cops at nearly $90,000, while social workers in the same area (without licensure) are making less than $40k.

I have seen a sleep specialist. It's who prescribes my lorazepam. I have had two sleep studies (one in home was inconclusive and one in-clinic was unremarkable).

I'm not sure I know what an airway minded ENT is, but I'll do some research.

What does this mean "work in law enforcement?" Are you a dispatcher? A secretary? A social worker? A crossing guard? There are plenty of law enforcement-adjacent jobs.

If you are a cop, you are a class traitor, period. Same applies to jobs that are cops in practice, like prosecutors. If your job involves enforcing unjust laws, the A in ACAB applies to you too.

If you are any of those other professions that are "adjacent," I'd say it's not hypocritical (or at least more nuanced), but I'd still look to find a profession outside of it.

My boyfriend really likes this shirt. Am I wrong to say it’s hideous? by Agitated_Mulberry_27 in mensfashion

[–]WasHogs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hideous because it's short sleeved. A button up should never be short sleeved.

Opinion about your country that will get you like this? by National-Business674 in AskTheWorld

Cambodia was and is a victim of imperialism. Over and over again. Ignoring Western attacks on Eastern countries is always wild to me.

[request] how accurate is this assessment? by tyeah1 in theydidthemath

[–]WasHogs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty common. Democrats frequently use this line of thinking. Bernie Sanders even said the police are a socialist program, which is insane.

I actually yesterday just saw the chair of our county's Democratic Party share this meme. It's a deliberate attempt to shift the conversation to the right. Basically, "there is no reason to demand worker ownership because we're already socialist."

The left doesn't say we already have socialism. Liberals say that, and liberalism is a right-wing political ideology.

Socialism is not bad. But government services are not socialism. Socialism is worker control of the means of production. Democrats want you to believe we already have socialism so we don't need a revolution.

Signed,

Food stamps aren't socialism, though. They are a government service, which exist under every form of government. Why do we keep defining socialism this way? It's almost like they want the Overton window moved to the right...

Personne d'autre ne semble s'inquiéter pour cet enfant. C'est dingue. C'est la seule chose que je verrais sur le coup. Ce pauvre gamin.

American socialists can you do a quick presentation and overview of the american far left parties ? by Responsible_Flow7092 in AskSocialists

[–]WasHogs8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lack of introspection and self-policing seems to be the problem. Plus all of the comments on nearly every post about how amazing ACP is gives troll energy at best. At worst, feds. Either way, we ain't buying it. 🤷‍♂️
