The museum this exhibit is at only allowed men until 1965. Today, there’s a single, temporary exhibit within this museum that’s only allowing women, with a stated intention to make people reflect on that previous time. That this single exhibit draws international attention speaks volumes to the reality of sexism in western society, and it’s not the sexism you’re talking about
.avi was a video file format like .mpg back in the day when we had to download our porn one file at a time, slowly. Though in this instance I’m assuming it’s a fucking stupid shorthand for “avatar.”
$2 million over two years is actually a pretty reasonable salary for the founder and CEO of a major company by comparison to other major companies, and is two orders of magnitude less than $200 million. Two orders of magnitude less than $2 million is $20,000, that’s the scale of difference we’re talking about here
I read it when I wrote it, I’m comparing $2M to $200M here, not to minimum wage, and not defending anyone
Medicine won’t really help if you’re feeling depressed due to external factors. People who feel depressed because of their life situation typically benefit more from therapy both to learn how to cope more effectively and for guidance/support on making life changes. Look for sliding scales or low/no-cost therapy options in your area
I had a friend a long time ago who was arrested for shoplifting and was unable to post bail due to this being like a second or third charge. He was evicted from his apartment while he was in. He released his key to me from jail, and another friend and I went and moved out as much of his important stuff as we could, and the apartment complex threw away the rest. If we hadn’t been there to help him, he would’ve lost literally everything, computer, passport, guitar, you name it.
The reality of his compensation package is a lot more nuanced. The 9 figure number is eye popping, but he’s being paid less than $2 million over 2023-2024, and almost all of the rest is contingent upon a successful IPO and then reaching a set of (incredibly unrealistic) stock valuation benchmarks. Reddit’s stock has to hit something like $45/share for him to see 8 figures and $90/share for him to realize the full amount.
I’m in no way defending this pay package or his shitty behavior, just pointing out that he’s not just getting handed $200 million outright
I get you on this. A lot of people really struggle to maintain empathy with people they may otherwise find despicable, but to me, increasing empathy in the world among and for literally everyone is a paramount goal. Take this example: A huge percentage of men who sexually assault children were sexually assaulted themselves as children. It’s easy to dehumanize someone in this situation, but the reality is they have been both a victimizer and a victim in their lives. People are way more complex than our present instant judgment-based society allows for.
All that said, all Kyle Rittenhouse has to do is shut his ugly goddamn mouth if he wants to stop getting lambasted by the public.
This order is to inform the monitor before even attempting to obtain a bond. I’m no expert on the law, but I think the monitor is there to watch and keep a record of the Trump Org’s actions, and not to pre-approve actions the Trump Org takes. In that vein, this order would be a departure from typical oversight, requiring a level of notice before even taking an action. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
Either way, I think it’s great to have eyes on this, and I imagine this is a direct result of Trump’s attorneys providing zero (0) evidence they’ve made any attempt to secure a bond
“To be fair they both oppose these two really extreme positions” is a pretty low bar of commonality
Besides, there’s less than a hair’s breadth between Haley and Biden politically.
This is just fundamentally not the case
Im ok with pictures of Nikki Haley debasing herself
My few posts were almost exclusively in my local sub and plant identification, I never had a post crack 1000. Almost all my karma came from comments. Since I also got the offer, I’m guessing the bar was set very low
I also left in June, and also got the offer. My karma was in the low 6 figures and I had been on for like 5 or 6 years. Honestly, a low bar
It really has the possibility to not only hobble his campaign and his ego, but to also mentally unbalance him even further since he’s built his entire personality around being rich. He’s almost certainly in a situation where he will end up having to declare bankruptcy
I was curious about that lung cancer treatment and found this Snopes article. Sounds like in Cuba it’s demonstrated that it can add several months to some people’s lives after they’re diagnosed with lung cancer. Phase II clinical trials are underway in the US as of last year, and preliminary results show particular success in combination with other existing treatments. They’ve expanded the trial to cover some other forms of cancer too
Dude, you have some serious decisions to face that you’ve been putting off. Don’t hide behind “doing it for my child,” make good decisions that are right for you and in the end they’ll be good for your kid too, whether or not there’s short term pain.
Replace “government” with Republicans here and it’d be more accurate. Also the republican-controlled House passed a bill to force Bytedance to sell TikTok, but the Senate probably won’t even take it up for debate
The fact that it’s not right is the point. That people across the entire planet are talking about this Australian art exhibit and sexism demonstrates this exhibit was executed really well
