because the lines are bad?

is that a common drawing exercise?

sorry what’s the context here? I’m having a beer night.

I laughed at this, but now I might actually show it to her.

the longer that story goes on the less ridiculous it seems. I have a more favorable impression of the skibidi toilet series than I do of the official transformers movies.

I just got to show this to someone yesterday for the first time.

they were confused, but want to keep going.

tines of three, handle of five

memeoffice.

didn’t think msoffice would be the easiest platform to build memes/diagrams on.

I actually didn’t even know office could build something that complicated.

thanks

huh, i much prefer libreoffice to msoffice, i can’t even think of a reason why anyone could prefer msoffice.

Im a but gobsmacked at the notion.

what do you use the drawing for?

“I’d do it all day.”

this is exactly your problem, that you’re okay insulting people. You are bragging about not caring about others.

You care about your own feelings and want everyone to listen to only your feelings.

Insulting people or claiming that you wouldn’t mind being insulted doesn’t matter here, it’s that you’re hurting other people.

“as long as it applies to the situation/male I’m speaking with it’ll be business as usua”

that’s how definitions work, not people, not intention, not culture, and not objectification.

you can choose in your mind to believe that an insult is not insulting, but that doesn’t stop the insult from being insulting.

You are exclusively targeting women here.

You can attack gay people on the weekends and swear that you just like hitting people with bats, it has nothing to do with them being gay, but if you are exclusively targeting homosexuals, then you are attacking gay people, it doesn’t matter what your asserted beliefs are.

You can claim you don’t mean an insult as an insult, but if you use that insult, then you are insulting people.

You are hurting others despite what your feelings are.

“What about the term ladies.”

that is socially acceptable depending on the social group and your intentions.

you can say “punk” as a friendly jibe with a friend or you can call someone a punk in a bar and get yourself ostracized or even get your ass beat.

your problem with using “female” is that it’s used primarily as an objectifying term in casual conversation, so again, you can choose to claim an insult is not insulting, but that doesn’t negate the insult.

Your feelings do not negate the feelings of others.

When you use that term, you are insulting all women using a shorthand to show that you do not respect any woman as an equal person.

“street whore. Should that be shunned too?”

yes, “street whore” is another insulting term that should not be used to refer to half of the human race.

“we should just abolish English…”

that is an impractical and unrealistic solution to your specific bigotry.

There’s no reason to punish everyone for your selfish bigotry.

“I really do not understand these weird feelings…”

This is probably a symptom of focusing internally rather than on the community you are a part of.

Empathy is the key. If someone tells you how they would like to be treated, treat them that way.

If they tell you they would not like you to insult them, then don’t insult them.

You can choose to insult them if you want, but that doesn’t make you a revolutionary, just an asshole.

“hey follow some rule of feelings. It’s absurd.”

This is correct because it’s what you are insisting.

You are insisting that everyone follow your feelings alone and to ignore the feelings of everyone else.

Which is absurd.

“I doubt any male would find this offensive.”

nobody said they would.

"Call em males, they are afterall. "

go ahead, next time you see ir are talking about a man or men , say “hey, male” or “males like to…” see how they respond to what has become a derogatory, sexualized term for a person in casual conversation.

the demeaning objectification is why insecure men say “female” and men are not addressed as “males”.

thank you I was wondering about the public reaction to the mines closing, since it does seem like a good thing on its face, no you’re absolutely right that a problem doesn’t need to be handled the hardest way.

interesting to hear about the cycle coming around again with steel workers now.

that was a great write up and an appreciated explanation, have a good one!

You’re incorrect, residency and language fluency are not new residency requirements for Italian citizenship, although the proposals I brought up(that have not been signed into law yet) are being expanded specifically for ancestry petitions.

You can try again.

nothing says they were.

I don’t think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.

The residency I’m pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.

I’m curious to see if this new law will get ratified.

thanks!

that’s the article I was originally referencing and then referenced again.

did you understand that article differently than how i’ve summarized it?

Thanks, I meant intentional deportations of US citizens.

got it.

as far as I’m aware, it’s just the “great” part that changed. it’s not so much that Italian immigration laws have become overly restrictive as they were so broad before as to proving Italian heritage.

The current Italian citizenship restrictions are still a great deal easier than most other countries.

basically, as long as you have a parent or grandparent who is an Italian citizen or became one, you can become an Italian citizen also by filling out a form.

i was pretty lazy about it, I’d like to see the results of other breadsperiments.

oh shoot I just thought they got rid of the “great” part and you can still become a citizen if you have italian grandparents, what are the new restrictions?

Italy and Ireland were like the last two countries that you could claim citizenship through great-grandparents, but I think Italy just ended it this year.

thanks for posting this, it’s the first I’ve heard of maybe a US citizen being deported.

I’m looking into related posts to find corroboration and explanation for the term “parole” used here.

not with regard to this specific situation, since white people have been deported or turned away due to their visa status, but under this administration anyone not white should feel way more targeted than they might be under other administrations.

update: Blue sky users are apparently receiving threatening letters using the phrase their “parole is terminated” despite being us citizens; I can’t confirm anything, but I’m looking into it now.

so far naturalized citizens are not being harassed or detained.

everyone i’ve heard about being turned away or deported so far has a green card, visa or is in the US illegally.

it’s certainly a terrible situation and a slippery slope, but as far as I’m aware naturalized citizens are not facing that treatment yet.
