oh no someone made the thread....

I literally thought "Fuck, it's made its way here." 😭

This whole thing reads like a hit piece on queer people. Yeesh.

Says the living stereotype.

I can understand how immunocompromised folks losing a place they knew was safe for them one day a week could be really hecking disappointing.

Why are always this outspoken and demanding immunocompromised people queer people?

Sounds like it's best that they just sell the bar. Maybe look for a buyer that will keep it a lesbian bar with the mask mandate in place.

Can you legally hold them to an agreement like that if it's written?

[Boredfrom]

Matellian tells the group her credit score is trashed. For six months, she lived in her truck because she was pouring money into the bar. She is working four different jobs. She is responsible for paying off the $50,000 loan the three took out to launch the business.

The online critics are unmoved. "[Y]ou chose to use your time to spill tears and center your feelings," Noire posts in the chat. "This is incredibly racist and deflecting behavior."

Eventually, after 3½ hours of discussion, the meeting wraps up. Noire has more to say, but when someone suggests he come to the next community meeting, he refuses. "There's a lot of emotional and physical labor that goes into this, so for you as a white person that asks for me to stay for another meeting for free," he says, is "incredibly disingenuous and racist. I'm not doing that."

"Then I think, unfortunately, this meeting has failed you," replies a facilitator, "and I'm sorry."

[…]

I reach Noire, who identifies as a gender-expansive lesbian and uses he/him pronouns, by Zoom a few days later. I ask whether he has any sympathy for those running Last Ditch, given the profound financial strain they are under. "No," he replies.

U.S. Lesbians should stop catering to these dudes, as UK lesbians learned the hard way.

When Trump spurred Canada and began a trade war, KKKarney made a speech in January at Davos about how the post-war international order has suffered a permanent "rupture." The very next month, he cheerleaded Trump for launching the war on Iran. Fuck him and his family.

Anyway, my stance is there is a small part of the queer community that are self-righteous assholes who believe themselves to be the most morally pure because they still mask and anyone who does anything else "doesn't care" or "hates so and so group". They are unreasonable and ultimately unpleasable because you will always run afoul of them eventually.

I can’t believe this was posted on resetera.com.  That’s their entire MO!

Two data points worth noting about the Boston Globe story here:

1) Before this story appeared, a podcast had covered this story the week before. That podcast? Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog. For anyone who doesn't recognize those names, they're both giant anti-trans bigots. Doesn't necessarily mean that the Globe wrote this up after hearing it from them, but given the really small scale of this story, it's almost certain that there's a common origin between those two stories and it's not just coincidental that the story written up to be a conservative wet dream had recently been covered by noxious bigots.

2) The same day the Boston Globe posted this story, it was running next to an op-ed about how, hey, incredibly cherrypicked statistics say violence against trans people is going down, so you should definitely discount anyone saying otherwise as untrustworthy liars.

Horrific. Unfortunately America is trying to destroy the International Criminal Court so war crimes in general aren't really going to be a thing anymore.

Ah yes, otherwise Putin would already be on trial because that's how it works

The ICC that Russia doesn't recognize. (And the US has never recognized.)

Next Dem administration abso-fucking-lutely needs to grip Mjolnir hard, raise it high and SLAM. IT. DOWN. mercilessly on price-fixers.

I bet he really believes that every business in the country formed a cartel to raise prices rather than that inflation is an actual thing.

I really do not know how to phrase this. What was stopping them from dieting and exercising and practicing basic hygiene before.

It’s sort of admirable to put in the effort now, especially against some of the others. But like, did you need estrogen to eat a salad.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Yes, it is true that the United States, Russia, and China do not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

These three major powers have not ratified the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC in 2002, and explicitly refuse to accept its authority over their citizens or military personnel.

United States: Signed the treaty in 2000 but formally withdrew its signature in 2002, citing concerns that the court infringes on U.S. sovereignty and lacks constitutional protections like jury trials.
China: Never signed the Rome Statute, arguing that the ICC’s jurisdiction violates national sovereignty and risks political interference.
Russia: Initially engaged with the court but withdrew its signature in 2016 after the ICC classified the annexation of Crimea as an occupation and issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin.
While these countries do not recognize the ICC, the court retains limited jurisdiction over their nationals if alleged crimes occur on the territory of a member state.

[benji]

It's federal law since the Obama administration that the US will use the military to free any American held for trial at the ICC but these dopes think it's new and all Trump tweeting.

My favorite part is that one of their smoking guns is that a media outlet shouldn't focus on such a small conflict as if it's not one of the most typical kind of articles journalists write, providing insight into the lives of various people. Like I just listened to an This American Life episode about how a woman struggles with brushing her daughters hair.

I really wanted this but then they snowed Snoop and it felt weird. Then they showed Tupac and it felt really gross. Then they showed the combat and I found it horrible and dull and slow. If I do get this, it won't be until a deep discount.

Canada's under attack too.

Excuse us if Canada's leader sometimes has to choose his words carefully because Trump is crazy and he keeps drawing maps of North America with Canada as part of the States.

Reminds me how Carney's first meeting at the White House went well and he even seemed chummy with Trump to the point where some people said Carney is MAGA lol.

In addition to the issue of how Carney sees Iran, theres also the issue that hes on a fine line in how much we can push the US right now to not get the worst case scenario

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-carney-prepared-for-risk-that-trump-might-order-military-action/

Its still a "pick the fights you have" situation for the moment, which sucks.

You can't complain about the U.S. threatening or attacking your country while supporting the U.S. attacking other countries. That's just hypocrisy. And if Carney is just saying this because he's afraid of Trump then he's literally an American puppet.

Get fucked Canadians. Your cry fest about Trump is OVER. Take your global north bitch ass out of here, Muslims are speaking.

Oh fuck right off with this nonsense puppet rhetoric. Where in the OP does Carney say he wants to help the fascist shit hole country to the south in their relentless and illegal bombing campaigns in Iran?

We didn't join Iraq and we won't join this. Ever.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I'm sorry, is it OK to imply that Canada is a puppet of a fascist american regime?

When our own government is defending the invasion of Iran and handaving threats of "annihilation" as "language of war"? Yeah. Of course.

What Shoot is saying is that you can't bitch about Trump threatening to invade us (and yell at Americans for not taking it seriously), then shrug your shoulders when Carney defends the invasion of Iran. It shows that you don't care at all about the US bombing brown people, you only care when you're on the receiving end of the threats.

Note, Chrétien told Bush to kick rocks about Iraq. Carney didn't need to defend this shit, at all. He does, not because he's afraid of Trump (we've seen many times that he's very much not), but because he agrees. No Canadian should be defending him for this.

...you very much can. Are you serious Morrigan? The heck does it mean that we can't bitch about being talked about being invaded and a clearly insane person going "Maybe i'll do a ground invasion, would that be not funny? Teehee", just because Carney is a fucking hypocrite and is not willing to condemn the US war crimes?

If you are not also willing to condemn Carney? Then yes, you are a hypocrite. How is this hard to understand?

Maybe read the full post again, because otherwise I don't know why you're outraged.

Being okay with calling out Carney as a jackass just playing the west "bestof tape" about "the evils or Iran and how attacking them is justificed" and not willing to actually think, because he is a imbecile stuck on what west sold about Iran for 40+ years is one thing (or the idea that he is also a blood hungry monster, which is a possibility if we truly want to go there).
Saying that we cannot talk/bitch and be angry about the country doing war crimes, talking about DOING WAR CRIMES ON US? That is another thing entirely. That goes beyond the pale, to say that because our government are hypocrites that we should sit down, shut up, and take whatever happens. CHRIST.

Edit : I think i'm going to bow out, i can feel like i'm getting a more and more assholish tone in this thread, and i wont contribute anything that would help anyone.

Bye, bye! Global North SCUM!

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

For any Americans that think this is their opportunity to get thier licks in. Understand that we voted in what you would call a Democrat. Meanwhile you voted in one of the worst political figures in history. There is no parity there.

This is unbelievably rich when you've been popping in to every single thread about Harris to condemn her and her voters for the same exact reasoning as this thread is doing with Carney.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving.

Is bombing Canada bombing brown people? It's 90+% white or white-adjacent.

[benji]

Not that anyone should care about a Nazi country that gives $15 million to Israhell. Like that's enough to buy half of a plane to do genocide with. Nah, fuck Canadzi and its enablers just like Nazi piece of shit Gavin Newsom and Nazi piece of shit Kamala Harris and all the other Nazi pieces of shit in the shithole West. And none of y'all are arming up to unite with the world against it. I'm so tired. I just want people talking on porches and kids playing with chalk. Is that really so much to ask of y'all? No, because y'all aren't ready for that conversation. Sounds about white.
