And yet the Trump regime STILL somehow manages to fuck up badly enough to lose the moral high ground against them.

My dad’s a gynecologist. He looks at vaginas all day long.

This photo brings up a question I have.

I don’t know if there are any active service members here on Lemmy. And if there are, if they’re even free to express an answer to this question.

But I was wondering what it must feel like for a serving soldier to be compelled to stand at attention and salute this man; this National Guard wash-out that has never actually served any day in his life but suddenly found himself in a position where men and women FAR better than him, have to salute him.

ummmm…so what’s with the knife?

“Intimate” is a completely subjective term. Some people, like it or not, don’t consider nudity to be intimate and are therefore more than happy to use it to their advantage. Just because you wouldn’t, doesn’t make you the arbiter or what is or isn’t considered intimate.

So, as you say “Clearly being the more preferable job” is a meaningless statement. A vegan wouldn’t rent out their body to work in a slaughterhouse. A pacifist wouldn’t rent out their body to the military. Just because you wouldn’t rent out your body for people to enjoy on the internet doesn’t make it objectively worse than any other profession. It’s just your perspective.

I’m not saying that there aren’t issues in the porn industry. Of course there are, tonnes of them. But renting out your body to perform manual labour or renting out your body for people to look at on the internet are not as different as you think.

if someone has to grant access to their body, under threat of starvation or homelessness

But that’s employment in a nutshell, though. A welder rents out his body to a company to weld steel beams for 8 hours a day. An accountant rents out their body to sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day and crunch numbers. A salesperson rents out their body to cold-call for 8 hours a day.

No matter what, we’re coerced into giving or body to perform someone else’s labour. The fact that it doesn’t always involve nudity doesn’t change anything vis a vis your bodily autonomy.

It’s looking like it’s time for the Brazilian military to plan a precision strike on mar-a-lago to “arrest” the current president and hold him indefinitely for collution in drug trafficking.

I’m just here to chew bubblegum and throw some grenades. And I forgot my bubblegum, but no problem, because I’ll never run out of grenades.

There already is a word that encompasses it, “Queer”.

The only people that generally want to keep adding more letters to the acronym are so-called “Allies” and not members of those groups themselves. Most members of those groups (in my experience) are more than happy to call themselves Queer and then give you a funny look when you start talking gibberish.

The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman

Not going to lie, I got excited for the first half of that sentance.

IIRC, it’s also one of the best ways to test for forged paintings, because paint after WW2 is affected by the same minute traces of background radiation that the real deal painted a few hundred years ago wouldn’t have.

If the guy in the header photo didn’t at some point say “Suck it, Trebek”, I’ll be very disappointed.

I feel like this really is a mini-test for America right now. Orban has been trying his best to rig the election in his favour despite is very obvious unpopularity. He’s behind in polling; and would be even further behind without his fuckery in the background.

So one of two things will happen on April 12th, either the result will be so overwhelming that if he tries to claim it was rigged, it would be an obviously bullshit claim. Or he’ll somehow sneak in with the victory despite being behind the entire time (sound familiar).

Can Hungary overcome his fuckery is a direct mirror to the American midterms. Will Trump accept the results, or refuse to leave. And if it’s the second, will Hungarian people rise up?

Princess Bride, of course.

Everyone with a functioning brain-cell knows that Trump is going to throw kegsbreath under the bus to save himself, and I for one can’t wait to see his smug slick backed face hung for war crimes.

And if you look really close on the right hand side, you can just make out the disturbed ground surrounding the entrance to the underground Chinese base.

Because their penises don’t work anymore and no one ever actually loved them enough to want to touch it without being paid up-front in the first place.

Trump is an idiot. The rest of his people vary from incompetent to simply evil.

I’d bet my life that the nuclear briefcase that Trump masturbates to every night is a fake. Someone in his circle has long since clipped the red wire to prevent him doing just that during a midnight Truth Social post.

Don’t let the doorknob hit their ass on the way out.

Worst case scenario is Russia tries to take advantage of the situation and gets curb stomped by a NATO that is roughly 30% weaker but still more than powerful enough to handle the paper tiger that Russia has proven itself to be.

Trump is dead within a year, guaranteed. The GOP will fall to infighting after the cult of personality ends, and when the next president wants to clean up his mess and rejoin NATO, they can be allowed back in without the bullshit VETO that they for some reason have. They can return as an equal, not as a boss.
