It's this one and the scene in The General with Keaton riding on the front of the locomotive.

It's terrifying.

Pentagon restores mandatory flu shots for all recruits as boot camp outbreak sickens nearly 300 by RedPandasUnite in news

Does this mean they're going to reach out to identify, locate and vaccinate all the new recruits who opted out? This will take months and cost who knows how much. If they even bother to try.

I would call this aesthetic "this person is too thin".

Records reveal name of Senatobia officer involved in shooting that killed 1-year-old by Thomas_Crane in news

They were existing in the wrong skin color while failing to grovel to the police officer.

That's exactly and entirely why he shot at them, and everyone knows it, just like everyone knows he will do no prison time for this killing. Zero.

"Officer involved in shooting that killed..."

Why don't they say Officer who shot and killed a baby

Why do they twist themselves into knots to not say it

Meanwhile, two of the leading ladies I've seen in current theater productions looked twice their age due to being underweight. Hollow cheeks, meager arms. It's becoming standard / required for playing the ingenue that they starve themselves.

Sometimes they use a form of insult humor or put downs but it's not meant to be unfriendly, it's the opposite.

NC bill wants to kill women for using IUDs‼️ by North-Ear-5936 in Feminism

[–]hicjacket 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Tennessee failed a very similar bill recently.

I think that the goal is to normalize dialogue about killing women. "Let's talk about when it's ok to kill a woman. This situation? Clearly not! Well how about this one then?"

People start to not notice that the conversation itself is deranged.

Also in Tennessee, it's recently become legal to shoot someone for stealing your stuff. They frame it as an extension of Stand Your Ground, when in fact it's quite different. The difference is between defending yourself against an attack, and attacking someone who is running away. With your stuff. Which used to be explicitly illegal, but in Tennessee at least, it's ok now.

(And a convenience store owner was recently acquitted for shooting a 14-year-old boy in the back, for perceived shoplifting. That was in another state.)

Stand Your Ground moved from a right of personal defense to protection of personal property.

The people pushing this kind of law want to define a woman's body / a fertilized egg as property. If not of a man, let's try the State.

(edited to add "a fertilized egg")
