The best is when people say "I BET IF HE WAS WEARING A SHIRT WITH SEXY GUYS ON IT NO ONE WOULD COMPLAIN". Like if someone was on national TV in a Tom of Finland shirt people wouldn't flip their poo poo.

Honestly the only news I've seen on the "Nerd with the bad shirt" is from men complaining about "feminists" talking about it. However I haven't seen anyone actually complaining about the poo poo.

The best is still all the people posting at length about how much they don't care about Kim Kardashian's arse/the shirt. If it wasn't for people saying how much more important the Rosetta landing was I literally wouldn't have heard about it. (The bum, not the landing)

Hold on a loving minute. Can we loving go back to this? What the gently caress Is there any kind of follow up to this, specifically about the baby getting taken the gently caress away from her and her going to jail?? Like Number 1 rule you learn about babies is DON'T SHAKE THEM. What the gently caress.

I've seen so many people bitching because the magazine she posed nude in (I'm all about dat rear end so that photoshoot was A-OK with me) had the headline of something like "BREAKING THE INTERNET" and a billion people are like UH NO I DON'T THINK SO SHE'S NOT GONNA BREAK THE INTERNET WHO EVEN IS SHE, and they don't at all see the irony. People HATE Kim Kardashian for, what seems like to me, no real good reason, I kind of feel bad for her at this point. Like I see the tabloids all the time basically saying "what is that whore doing being a mother??" and then I see a magazine that is like "kim kardashian is SPOILING her son. Will he grow up normal??" and it's like are you serious

quote:never taken no drat pill n still never been knocked up either. Lol. but in all seriousness, pharmaceuticals are incredibly detrimental to health. There are many holistic approaches like using certain herbs; for not getting pregnant for a certain length of time, permanently sterilize oneself or to bring about a miscarriage (instead of the alternative, getting scraped by machine). Women can take back their bodies and the majik therein, and work together without the help of manmade corporations selling poo poo products to womyn. All this hoorah about birth control day, what a gimmick, the side affects and bodily damage are terrible. Sure not every dude knows how to pull out but hey, there are so many things on this planet hat can be put to use.. That native cultures have used for thousands of years... We are trained to take a pill, to go see someone when we cough and sneeze, to take medication without questioning what it is, inject a substance into our bodies because its merely suggested. If we weren't trained like cattle and instead, aspired to be a self reliant species like the ones who came long before us, we could figure poo poo out for ourselves and have some integrity in this great living organism, the Earth and all of the vast array of offerings.

The shirt was just annoying because science is cool and it sucks when people act super unprofessional and confirm stereotypes of science guys being gross nerds. It's like you'd never see a lawyer at a press conference dressed in a Jimmy Buffet themed Hawaiian shirt because it's unprofessional as hell. The shirt could have had half naked dudes on it or it could have had flames and Gokus, it's still a guy doing a press release for a major institution announcing a really cool bit of stuff they've done in poo poo clothes.

Taking chemically active preparations in standardized doses is bad. Just cramming chemically active herbal preparations willy nilly into your body is awesome! Why, sure, random stranger, I'll take that pennyroyal. How much should I take? A bunch? Well, all righty then. (Brain damage ensues.)

Well, plants come from nature, and pharmaceuticals are manufactured from poisonous ether in massive, smoke-billowing early 20th century factories. Nature = good, things touched by the taint of machines = bad

A woman dressed in that fashion probably isn't going to do much speaking in public at all, in my experience. Maybe her son or another male family member who is escorting her around, but not her.

The older women are a little more hesitant, but will still speak for themselves (as much as they can, if their English is bad) while younger women will be pretty outgoing all the same. I see a lot of Muslims, actually, and I've never once had a woman defer to her husband in conversation, and my job requires I interact with almost everyone I see.

The point doesn't even make sense though. What do Canadian soldiers in Iraq have to do with Free Speech rights in Canada? Like, I don't doubt plenty of Canadian Solders died defending Canada's rights, but that doesn't really apply to much to the middle east situation?

I thought Canada didn't have any rights because it was still part of the Empire, like where the Queen's corgis get let out to poop outside or something.

A Muslim woman put back in her place: being told to shut the gently caress up by a man. If you're going to make that Islamophobic poo poo up at least try and make it interesting or something. Say they pulled off their burqa to reveal an alien or something, don't stop at ham handed racism.

What really pisses me off about it is that I have worked personally with a lot of landed immigrants, doing censuses and other jobs in predominantly immigrant neighbourhoods, which is where I live too, and they loving LOVE Canada. A lot of them have Canadian flags in their yards. They're super enthusiastic in completing the census because we acknowledge them as Canadian and it makes them bloody proud. They start conversations with me discussing things like the weather at bus stops. They're perfectly regular people. Posts like that are complete bullshit xenophobic racist garbage. I hate it so much. I saw it posted by a friend on my page, and someone said "I don't care if it didn't happen, it should!!!1!" They don't realize that these allegedly horrible immigrants are some of the nicest, most patriotic people they'd ever meet, if they ever bothered to actually loving meet one for once. They just happen to retain other aspects of their culture, and all we do is judge them for it without actually getting to know them.

It's a pissant point re: anti-Muslim prejudice, but the universalization of (various misspellings of) the burqa always irks me. That's a real specific garment, the headcovering with a big mesh over the eyes and it's kind of poofy at the top. It's also worn precisely nowhere in the Arab world--it's a strictly central asian phenomenon. The woman in the article's picture is wearing a niqab, which is the full veil most common in the Gulf, and the abaya, which is the loose gown. It's like the "save the Muslim women" rhetoric got so fired up for Afghanistan that they never bothered to update it when we started agitating for invading Arab countries.

I purposely qualified that it's just been my experience, since I knew someone would have a completely opposite anecdote  Working in retail as I currently do, though, is where my experience in this comes from. Maybe it's less a "won't talk to men" thing and more a "my 9-year-old son is the one with better english" thing, as you say.

 Saw this on a post about things to do for Christmas in my city. The train complaint is about a nation-wide foodbank drive that consists of a CPRail train covered in lights driving across the country, and you bring a food donation when it shows up. A truly horrible, anti-Christian event.

Because they get saved and recompressed many, many times by people who don't understand how compression works. I think the biggest contributor is people who don't right-click and save as, but screenshot and crop. That way you compress the already compressed information further and over a few iterations it turns out ugly.
