    You’re all making jokes about how obvious this is, however I would argue that it’s still a very important thing to study and an important thing to say.

    So many people pull out the suicide statistics of trans people, and for anyone with a brain, would understand that the rates of suicide are so high is because of the ratio of people who hate them simply for existing. How many times can you be told to fucking kill yourself before you do, huh?

    This study validates that not telling kids to kill themselves, and and having loving parents is the “secret” to bringing down rates of depression and suicide.

    So for everyone with a brain this is pretty god damned obvious, it’s sad that it needs to be said, but it does still need to.


  • “God created Eve from ’aḥat miṣṣal‘otaiv (אַחַת מִצַּלְעֹתָיו‎), traditionally translated as “one of his ribs”. The term can mean curve, limp, adversity and side.”, per Wikipedia

    Different sources somehow use different words, so I’m curious what the actual words were.

    Not an actual argument from your point, as it can still be translated as side, but the video and all other instances I can find differ on the actual words used.

    But this is why language context matters, a word being able to be used in multiple ways muddies the waters of intention when viewed from a perspective of 2500 years later.

    Capitalism is too broad of a term to make any type of useful argument. Democratic socialism is still a capitalist way of doing things when it’s miles apart from corporatism. Both still fall under Capitalism umbrella, however one is definitely worse than the other.

    Ultimately, commerce will never cease, resources will always cost, etc. Just update your terminology and you’ll find much more reception to your point.

    I think it’s a reference to cyanide smelling like almonds. In particular I remember a Jodi Foster movie The little Girl who lives down the Lane where Jodi poisons a rapist. He says, “It tastes like almonds.” as he drinks the tea. Jodi Foster says, “It’s the almond extract.” knowing it’s the cyanide.

    So the punchline is setup to be something about poison but gets subverted by the hand grenade.
