Oh damn. I didn’t realise just how ahead of his time (by Anglosphere standards) Nader was. We’re 50 years on and just now are the evils of motornormativity starting to be more widely understood.

Sorry I still don’t really understand. What does “unsafe at any speed” mean?

Assuming this is real (it’s not)

Proof?

Subtlety and nuance are great in art

They can be. But if that was the intention, that’s what the teacher should have said. “Dial it back” is a far cry from “your art would be more powerful with a more subtle message”. And anyway, sometimes the artist doesn’t want to be subtle and that’s ok too. Subtle art can be easy to misinterpret. Look at all the chadbros who idolise the characters in Fight Club.

I’m happy to see you’re not talking in the 3rd person anymore though.

Pretty sure they just didn’t have reason to refer to themselves in that comment. They’ve always used normal pronouns for other people.

Americans lost abortion rights because of the piss-weak Democratic party relying on a shaky legal foundation to keep them in place rather than legislating it themselves at any of the times they controlled the Senate, House, and White House under Carter, Clinton, Obama, or Biden. All of whome had a period where that was the case. It’s not feminists of any sort that are to blame.

This one needs explaining

Oh damn, nice! I didn’t realise it was more than a one-off. Cows & Cows & Cows was such a classic back in the day.

Omg it’s like Cows & Cows & Cows, but sheep.

I’m kinda tired of arguments that expect the minoritized group to not “radicalize” the majority group. Why is it on the people who are being oppressed to not offend people aren’t even necessarily oppressors? Honestly, this comment is tone deaf as fuck.

It’s respectability politics. The same as when people complain about climate protestors blocking roads etc. There’s a huge segment of society that cares more about avoiding any sort of conflict than achieving just outcomes.

Punishment is about virtue signalling

Ooh careful. Don’t use that phrase. You might trigger the fascists!

Got a link that works without signing in?

Oh that is adorable!

Oh huh. Until I read this comment I assumed it was written from the perspective of the weird alien things, and “bipeds” referred to the humans…

Reading this to the tune of Never Gonna Give You Up

I’m guessing he didn’t know she was Native American and just saw a non-white person and assumed non-white=immigrant. Never mind that even if she were of Asian or Latin descent it’s entirely possible her family had been American for generations.

!sexmemes at whatever instance that community is in.

You do it with ![](Link goes here). Optionally, you can also put alt text in by putting it between the square brackets.

Why are you conflating criticism of a genocidal regime with racism?

It’s also worth noting that the “ZY” or “KSY” pronunciations might be misleading to English speakers. The “Y” in both of those is actually like the vowel in “fly”, not like in “baby”.

It’s not cropped, it’s a different photo. 5 separate photographers are known to have captured the event, who each took multiple photos. Many of whom were on different floors of the same hotel. Jeff Widener of the Associated Press took one of the more famous telephoto shots from the 6th floor of the Beijing Hotel, while this wider one was probably taken by Stuart Franklin of Time, higher up in the same hotel.
