When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

For some reason I keep getting right-wing crap recommended on youtube and I suspect it's because of some poo poo posted on here at some point, so I'm going to subject the rest of you to this as well. Refugees have the audacity to mention when asked that their lovely living conditions are not perfect, ungrateful bastards. don't read the comments.

I guess that's the point though



If after looking seriously emaciated she couldn't get any more work, then something's wrong with the beauty standards. Also she'll probably get shitloads of work after showing she can think for herself.

Does no one enforce no shirt no shoes no service? Can't you get yelled at by health inspectors or something if you let mostly naked people wander around your store?

Here's the thing, the job description for model is 'look good on camera'. Its not a job that you can advance through practice, study at gradschool, or even through nepotism. You have to be good or at least interesting looking, and that's not an achieved ability except through diet, exercise, taking care of your skin etc. Pro athletes have similar pressure on them to control their bodies.

Who decides what looks good on camera? To a small degree the clients themselves, but mostly the people they want to sell to. American apparel doesn't use waif thin models with perfect makeup, and their target market reacted really well to it and they will continue to follow their costumers' 'standard of beauty'. Lots of absolutely bizzare-by-beauty-standards looking people have internationally successful careers as models.

This lady 'thought for herself' and blamed her agency. What agency will pick her up after seeing her freak out like this?
Rightfully she fired them if they weren't finding her work, but blaming them specifically is misguided.

Today Switzerland elects its bicameral Federal Parliament. Since political TV ads are banned, parties try to reach out to the voters with billboards. Here's a few that I've walked by every day for the past several weeks. Can you guess which are the right wing parties ?

Mostly correct, but the last three pics you quoted are actually campaign posters for the Socialist Party and the Worker's Party.

So the results will the confimed later, but thus far the picture is pretty grim :


The UDC has won a larger portion of the electorate than it had previously. This means that they may gain up to 11 seats in Parliament. With the PLR seeing gains as well, Switzerland will have a strong majority right wing government for the next 4 years.

Reminder, the UDC are responsible for this lovely poster :
