We don't have to argue that Europe is uniquely moral because of the abolition of slavery. There's an obvious weakness there, which is that it only happened after the active resistance of slaves. We don't have to be the universal civilization.
Zarathustra@zarathustra5150
Slavery has been a huge part of practically every civilization throughout history. It is in fact abolition that is unique. And it is unique, like so much else, because it came from White people. The W.E.I.R.D.-est people in the world…

@dieworkwear Its about giving sentences paragraph treatment, to make them easier to read.
It is the same logic as bullet points; everyone fears the semicolon.
English
Why do people write tweets like this?
Where every sentence gets a new line.
Sometimes a line might have two sentences. Like this one.
But generally speaking, every sentence has a new line, making a tweet look like a long block of text that no one reads.
Worse still, such tweets are often repetitive and winding, hammering on the same point over and over again.
The writing is often very bad.

@MarcyBelowFloor i still remember the first time i played a game without a jump button and i felt myself getting muscle cramps.
English
Isn't it weird how jumping is a bog standard game movement option yet most people don't really jump at all?

@Georgesantos The only people who bring up the tan suit are trying to make it sound like thats the worst thing he could be criticised for.
English
I never understood the outrage of this suit… don’t like him, never voted for him. The man looks good in a tan suit… so why all the hysteria?

How much pain would you put yourself in if you had Warren Quinn's self-torturer implant?
...And why not a little more?

@c_mabee @collinson165 @soigomaa I would reckon that basically all research on ovarian cancer is done on female bodies.
English
@DanielEllis95 @collinson165 @soigomaa Lo que se pide es que las investigaciones también tomen en consideración a los cuerpos femeninos.
No se que tan difícil es tener eso en mente.

When men are so afraid of having a finger stuck up their butt to perform a lifesaving cancer screening so they come up with a blood test for it instead.Meanwhile women have been getting cracked open with the original speculum from 180 years ago and nobody seems to care.

@gurgle_io @SCHIZO_FREQ Even though im a likely red hedger, i do still believe blue would break 50% and everything would be fine.
English
@SCHIZO_FREQ Blue seems to always assume the majority would vote with them. There must be a word for this.

Finally asked my family the button question
Everyone picked red except my dad. Mom was like “I think he’s wrong. If this was real he wouldn’t wanna leave me behind and he’d switch to the right button”

@Rassmalai_ were you hoping the system would be ragebaited by this.

@heavensbvnny exercise is one of the only things i get addicted to.

@EdLatimore im pretty sure a bear hug is acceptable as a bare minimum.

Men
(This is hypothetical, obviously)
You're out with your girl/wife, one thing leads to another, and she gets into a fist with another women.
They're of equal size and there are no weapons.
She is getting her ass beat.
What's the protocol?
Are you allowed to seperate them, jump in, or does just gotta wear that ass whopping until the cops arrive?
English
Never quite know what to do when I go to shake a woman’s hand and they offer theirs horizontally. We’re both women, am I supposed to bow and kiss your hand? What are you looking for here?
English
@ljmontello yeah everyone was against that, as far as i know no one admitted to doing it publically.
English
What about the number of men who opened their wallets to buy nudes of a girl *hours* after turning old enough to not be a federal crime?
Any commentary about their non-existent shame?
Steve@Loverism__
These women have zero shame

@BareLeft They should have just shot him. Have fun trying to take advantage, defending the guy who just stabbed two people.

Having watched this back a few times today now the initial shock is over, it's clear the Met are extremely sensitive to even the suggestion of excessive force being used, because they know how bad this footage is going to look when properly scrutinised.
Osita Mba@DrOsitaMba
We must stand with @ZackPolanski at this critical moment. The Establishment and their minions are telling us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears.

Hold on - what?
If police officers think someone might be carrying explosives, protocol is to kick them in the head repeatedly like this?
Is that actual police protocol?
If so, how is it a wise police protocol?
Can someone explain the reasoning?
Sky News@SkyNews
.@KamaliMelbourne: 'The video of the Golders Green terror attack arrest shows the officers kicking this individual in the head. Is that appropriate force to use?' Met Police Commissioner: "In most situations it wouldn't be reasonable, but in that situation it was reasonable."
English
You cannot tell me you watch this video and think the police behaviour needs no explanation.

@HazelAppleyard at least a reasonable chance it happens whilst im sleeping or alone. Not like im ashamed of my body, or going to jail for magic one second nudity.

@crochet_mom314 This does disadvantage women, but you can rest as much between as you want.

I can do 20 pushups a day. 20*365 is 7,300 pushups a year. That's $73,000 a year. Without training to make myself stronger, it takes 14 years to get $1 million. I'm pretty sure I can keep doing pushups until at least 65. That's 31 years, or over $2 million
$10 per pushup
Hazel Appleyard@HazelAppleyard
$10 per push-up or $1 million?

@c_mabee @collinson165 @soigomaa Viagra was created as heart medication, a solution for a very serious problem that effects everyone.
More women should be getting cervical screenings, not fewer.
English
@DanielEllis95 @collinson165 @soigomaa Por cierto, el cérvix tiene muchas terminaciones nerviosas y así como puede sentir placer, también siente dolor.
Pero que nos importa ¿verdad? Viagra para todos! Porque tener una erección estable es más importante que prevenir el Cáncer cervical uterino.

@DanielEllis95 Watch how differently people react. The best never fight with me. They listen, they think, they add insights, they cooperate.

How do I not hate men considering that I have been hurt by them, I know any relationship (even friendship) carries risk of heartbreak, and I see men being hateful to me here every day?
I think there are a few things that help. short thread 🧵
Patrick O'Neil@mkegymdawg
@PaulaSeeksTruth Women should also be talking to women about how they moved on from being hurt without descending into hating men. Frankly, I hear a lot more relationship bitterness from women than from men.
