But other countries do have protests and riots for a lot less. I think the reason it doesn't happen in America is mostly because of the lack of organized unions and stuff like that.
Where I live if some law suggested doctors could be facing jail time for providing care to someone who had a miscarriage, it wouldn't take a week for doctors to go on strike, which would probably be organized by their union. And even anti-choice doctors would strike too.
And yet a ton of people apparently only found out that Biden wasn't running when his name wasn't on the ballot.
They are talking about education, not intelligence. Children of couples with higher education will usually have a better education too.
Also none of the sources linked there mention anything about trans women.
I wish I could say that people would riot before that happen, but these days I think that Americans will just take whatever the government does to them and at most will make some memes on the internet about how fucked up they were.
Back when roe V wade was overturned I still thought "this is gonna be the straw" but nope, nobody did anything at all, not even any minor protest.
America just doesn't have any structure for fighting back. With just two parties and barely any relevant unions for anything, there's nobody willing to organize anything to push back.
Nearly 20 years ago I was on a meeting when one of my coworkers suddenly jumps back, takes off his shoe and throws it in the middle of the room, with a scared face. Everybody looks at the shoe and out of it comes crawling a spider. At this moment the boss walks into the room and notices the spider too and says: "woah, careful, that spider is extremely venomous". The other guy then looks even more terrified.
Boss takes him to the hospital and he took the antidote within like 15 minutes from being bitten, so no big deal at the end of the day, just the story of how he was wearing a shoe with a spider in it for over an hour before it bit him. We were all laughing and cracking jokes in the afternoon but the guy was just relieved about no longer feeling the pain from it.
I have no idea what spider it was, but this happened on a small town in the Atlantic forest region of southern Brazil. My guess would be that it was a Brazilian Wandering Spider (the spider famous for giving painful long lasting erections).
I think he means "backwood countries can do whatever they want, but EU countries can't"
Fun fact; Hitler is in the good place.
... It was a technicality.
Flashback:
Architect: "man this Hitler dude is so awful, whoever kills him goes to the good place, no questions asked."
Everytime this shows up I wonder if this is really a male nipple or if the creator used a female one just for extra laughs. If it was a serious thing that people actually did it would be hilarious if they were replacing one female nipple for another.
Somehow also reminds me of a story about a singer's album cover released during the latest military dictatorship in Brazil (it was a heavily censored period). Folks went out of their way photographing a woman's asshole with a marble ball on it until they managed to get one that looked like an eye - then used that picture as the album cover.
For weight, yeah. It's still unhealthy for many reasons but if you only care about weight that'the thing that matters
The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn't remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.
Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.
I only started remembering which side west is (relative to north) when I started thinking of "the wild west" and then thinking of where the wild west was. Still can't use it in the real world for anything though. At most if I'm at my own town I know approximately where north is, but anywhere else I'll quickly lose the sense of which direction is which.
