There's something in that tbh, the idea of a siesta seems barbarian to me, englishman

Though I'd also suggest there may be variation between the sexes cos my lass is late for everything

[Uncle]

tea time is just british siesta

I used to think I was punctual but seeing Japanese ladies in heels full on sprinting to be on time contextualizes things.

In retrospect, how did the Japanese and Germans put up with the lazy Italians.

Did they though?

Seems like they just ignored them most of the time.

They didn't:

I was gonna post a counterpoint using clips from the Hetalia anime where countries are represented as people. But do not do that. Do not search in those terms. YouTube is full of “Gerita” shipping videos. This is the cruelest attack on the axis powers maybe ever.

"Maybe a transgender category"

"Maybe a transgender category"

It is funny seeing the response being celebrated when they also think that a trans category would be transphobic. I guess they're cutting her some slack for now

I love the illustration

I had to check if this was a different guy or something. Why are we suddenly talking about death penalty

Stole this argument from Twitter but at some point you got to wonder how this is possible while at the same time you don't see any trans men winning medals. If hormones are all that matters when it comes to physical abilities then it should apply to trans men too.

Finally the moment has come where I can be an ally by declaring I'd fuck AOC

Lotta stuff happening

On one hand, fuck that guy. There's a reason people hate cops.  

On the other hand...channel 9.

What’s shocking (not really) is how nobody cares. You had the 2020 shitshow, scams, and aftermath. The protests and nonsense since 2023. Whether it’s fatigue or annoyance or whatever. They really fucked up in maintaining and building off the momentum. And been mentioned over and over how bad the imagery of waving foreign flags amid a burning American city is. People just do not care.

I feel like the stuff with the flags has been going forever. For a time it was burning the American flag which was always very weird when you're protesting for an American cause, but people don't really care

USA Gymnastics' transgender policy pages offline as Riley Gaines-Simone Biles feud rocks the sport

USA Gymnastics appeared to delete its transgender eligibility policy pages on its website. When the pages were officially taken offline is currently unknown

One link previously led to a November 2020 announcement that the organization no longer required trans athletes to undergo sex reassignment, legal gender recognition, and hormone therapy in order to compete in the gender category of their choosing, as seen in an archive by the Wayback Machine. That page still shows up in search results, but the link now goes to a 404 error page.

Most of it is cracking down on illegal immigration is popular. Most people probably think it should be done with due process and people shouldn't be apprehended by unidentifiable thugs wearing masks, but that all starts to get a bit in the weeds for normies.

But I can't help but think part of it is how the destructive protests shift from one cause to another. BLM, to Free Palestine, and now Due Process in Immigration. End result of all of them is seeing people yelling and property destroyed.

It's not even a TRA or a random progressive on Bluesky, it's a cis woman who writes about women's sports for a living

 

Gaines had inserted herself into the conversation about the Class 4A softball championship in Minnesota, claiming Champlin Park had “hijacked” the title because its star pitcher is a transgender young woman. Never mind that there are nine players on a softball team and Champlin Park won the title game 6-0.

Or that her teammates “love having her out there. She’s a great kid and a great teammate.”

Gaines has never let facts get in her way, so she posted three times about it in a two-hour span. Made sure to mention the name of the transgender athlete, as well, while purposely misgendering her.

It's a shame Gaines, one of the few outspoken "elite" female athletes, is such an asshole who has turned valid grievances into a MAGA grift. She's actually detrimental.

All you need would be a Lindsay Vonn, Caitlin Clarke or Simone Biles (about that...) to speak out in a measured and respectful ways, for the liberal media, pretty much the last people still defending this, to finally change their tune and see the light.

the self driving cars getting destroyed in particular is funny, you can feel a thousand executives in every area of automation suddenly looking up in realization, "oh gee, yeah, if nobody's attending the thing then we can end up pretty fucked, huh..."

[HaughtyFrank]

This explains a lot about the online left.

Americans see something like that and don't realise they are a failed state helltropolis

If you weren't so obsessed with pretending dinosaurs didn't exist you could have sick stuff everywhere
