What’s great is how little information or context or anything he has to be calling Iran part of the arab world. Not even a cursory google. And just dumping a “free” slogan on there, for no particular reason.

[Potato]

Wouldn't freeing Iran mean freeing them from the autocratic religious dictatorship that had ruled with an iron fist for 50 years?

Careful now, that goes against WestBad.

in such a rush to find a reason to insult the picture that you actually state that you approve of trad life?

Like China and Cuba, Vietnam has abandoned communism while keeping the Communist Party single party state. They practice dirigisme or its more extreme form, fascism.

The only state that even comes close to still trying to create socialism is the Juche Paradise.

350k implants for minors per year?  That cannot possibly be true.

Banning cosmetic surgery for minors to own the TERFs?

 

I think the Harambe White dude nailed it. Something pierced the pro trans indoctrination and the woman realized what she might have done to her child.

350k implants for minors per year?  That cannot possibly be true.

there are approximately 38 million women under the age of 18 in the US

but I'm guessing 99% of the implants would be happening in the 15-18 range, you can safely eliminate like 88% of the "0-18" scale

so there would be 8 million 15-18 year old women in the US

4.4% of them are getting implants every year

I searched to chase down this claim and this is what Google's AI response at the top was without me seeking it:

Breast augmentation is consistently one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, with over 360,000 procedures performed annually in the United States, according to American Society of Plastic Surgeons data from 2024 and 2021 reports.

So 97% of the surgeries are apparently done on children.

And a fifth of all worldwide are done on American children:

Globally, breast augmentations are in the millions, with over 1.6 million performed internationally in 2017. American Society of Plastic Surgeons

Meanwhile, a more questionable source than a guy on Twitter, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons says only ~2800, half as many as reductions (as one would expect):

And that’s specifically including 18 and 19 year olds, so I have to imagine the numbers for minors specifically is even smaller.

I just utterly fucking loathe that these people have any conceptualization of "nazi" as a set of beliefs seriously held by a significant enough portion of society that they can be easily defined and taken seriously

if you mean he's a Trump supporter, or a Republican sympathizer, fucking say that

My research aspires to a mathematics education that is more humanistic, which values the personal experiences of students and teachers as the foundation for meaningful and inclusive learning. My research includes mathematising, whereby I explore how mathematical thinking emerges from students’ personal values as they engage with social issues, such as climate change or political districting. I am also interested in how digital technology can enhance mathematical learning and how such tools can be integrated into elementary and secondary classrooms. Currently, I am investigating i) How the TouchTimes digital application supports empirically-based multiplicative thinking and ii) How teachers integrate Desmos, an online graphing calculator, into their classroom practice to support mathematical learning.

TBF, how else is this guy supposed to continue getting academic grants in Vancouver as a CIS white man? Dude gotta eat and pay his 1.5 M$ mortgage on his garden shed.

Respect for cracking the code.
