  • I mean sure but one set of billionaires is nazis and keeps on giving themselves tax cuts on the backs of everyone else. Not to mention oppress minorities, take away freedoms and just be all around terrible. While the other set is at least willing to do a few things about improving things so long as they also get richer. It’s a shit choice but there is an objectively better choice and its disingenuous to pretend otherwise.



  • Id say most of America has “the fuck that got to do with me” attitude. And its a problem because that attitude carries forward to the voting booth. It’s why ~40% of Americans didn’t vote in 2024. The average citizen feels broadly disconnected from the government. Congress maintains a like 10-20% approval rating but forget the general people dont vote in the primaries either except for the old and rich.

    It’s a way to approximate fetal age without an ultrasound and make sure development is progressing as expected. So while pregnant its actually a relevant question. Asking every time is one way to ensure that records/expectations are correct, same reason they ask your birthday like 3 times between checkin, the nurse, and the doc.

    For women with less standard cycles I’m sure it is more annoying.


  • You’re defending someone who helped Nazis willingly, just because they weren’t cis. That really the lane you want to be in?

    There’s no note of desperation she experienced and what makes you think the resistance wasn’t desperate? The Nazis killed 1.5million kids. War is hell and bullets economical or otherwise don’t magically avoid children. France had 80% of domestic food being commandeered to Germany and enforced a 1300 calorie rationing. Not to mention forced entry of French men for STO, military Brothels, and the killing of ~75,000 jews. At what point do you think Violette should have stopped activities that supported the Nazis? When do they say “enough, no more”?

    She may not have even been the target, as noted the a bailleul family was part of the vichy France regime. If she was the target I can guarantee they weren’t looking back with the 20/20 hindsight we have and were going off the reports calling her the hyena of the Gestapo. Information reliability is going to be low in occupied war zones.



  • The worse accusation were rumors, they still helped the Nazis by getting them gas, space, and driving them around. The problem with facists is that everyone remotely involved in helping them gets put at the same level. All of ICE whether they’re driving the trucks or actually kidnapping folks are still ICE members. Whatever washed up actor or comedian of the day is also not going to get sympathy from me. Peter Thiel is gay, that has nothing to do with the horrors he is helping unleash on the rest of us.
