This. The UN isn’t for “doing things”. Its sole purpose is to provide an established avenue for diplomacy. It is a monumental achievement in human history and is critically important especially in tense times like this, for no other reason than enabling interstate dialogue. It isn’t meant to be on anyone’s side as an organization, it’s meant to bring everyone to the table to encourage diplomacy to prevent war.

If the good person deep inside you never comes out, what does it matter?

Sorry but the ampersand is really bothering me

That was fascinating to read about. History doesn’t repeat but it sure as shit rhymes.

Wiki page if anyone’s interested

As my neighbors fighting the HOA can attest, you do not need a farm to own chickens lmao.

But then how are you supposed to know when to laugh?!?! ^/s

I’ve got no qualms with killing and eating something, I make an effort to dispatch those animals as quickly and humanely as possible, thus the question.

So does this mean stab the lobsters or don’t stab the lobsters? I was raised on the NE shore and have cooked hundreds of lobsters, I used to do the trick of putting them face down and stroking the spine, that would work ok but they wake up when you move them to the pot. I started stabbing the lobsters a few summers ago after a chef I worked with told me I should be, but I wasn’t convinced it was a lot more humane and it’s not fun if there’s kids around lol.

That’s fair I haven’t been reading the whole comment thread. There’s definitely plenty of meat on the meme bone for jokes about the ugliness of the maga aesthetic without it degrading into misogyny, but it’s too bad people are acting that way.

The whole conservative movement is the butt of the joke. They’re all in shallow marriages, wear hideous fake costumes, and hate each other. The whole thing is ugly and shallow. The men wear the same clown costume and it’s just as ugly. Spray tans and hair gel anyone?

But they’re ugly because of specific choices they made to wear what ends up looking like a fascist clown costume. They chose this look. They’re not being made fun of for things outside their control.

The vitriol and anger that led to those aesthetic choices also led to unhappy marriages. That’s the joke as I saw it.

I asked a genuine question politely, you can drop the snark.

I agree that if the implication that their husbands would sleep around with other men exclusively because their wives are ugly, then it’d be misogynistic. But that’s not the implication of the meme, at least not as I saw it.

These women chose to wear a specific type of outfit, a specific type of makeup, dye their hair a specific way, and get specific cosmetic surgeries to fit into the toxic world they live in. They choose to look like this. It’s a uniform. Nobody is making fun of their bone structure, bodies, etc. They’re making fun of choices they made aesthetically that comedically also reflect the toxic and ugly nature of their politics. The character flaws that led to those choices also led many of them to have shallow marriages of convenience. That is what I saw as the joke of the meme.

So is a woman insulting a man by saying he’s ugly also sexist? I’m struggling to see how it’s misogyny, honestly. Like I’m not trying to fight or anything, I just don’t get how insulting physical appearance can be misogynistic when men can be ugly too. It doesn’t seem to be attacking them because they’re women, but because their appearance seems to reflect their souls. Ugly. What am I missing?
