In any other setting, when we take specific, tiny stones and carve patterns into them until they can perform tasks for us, we call it magic.

The BMI was created by a social scientist to place people into rough categories for a study on how obesity impacts social interactions, in greater research on how the "average man" represented a social ideal. The fact that we now use it to define who is obese and overweight is a little insane. While it's been adopted by major health organizations (and hopefully adjusted by genuine health professionals), it is a horrible singular indicator of physical health. People in the extremes are statistically more likely to face health issues. This is not the same thing as "being in the obese category makes you unhealthy because you are fat."
I see this tossed around occasionally with zero reason or evidence, while the majority of people seem to think it's a respectable resource.
What's the controversy here? What'd I miss?
They're not sending their best.
Doing the lords work, my man.
I'm so sick of watching these fascist fucks do their best to replace the empire they don't like with an empire they do like, all the while cosplaying as a modern leftist. These guys are left wing like Stalin was left wing.
I'd argue if they somehow remain a billionaire post mortem, then no, they're still not a good billionaire.
The term “eighty-six” is a verb, which the Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines as informally meaning “to refuse to serve” or “to eject or ban” a customer, and “to reject, discontinue, or get rid of” something.
Trump: "He called to have me killed!"
Calm down, snowflake in chief, he said you deserve to be let go. An opinion most of your country agrees with.
He. The fact that you assumed I'm a woman explains a lot about why you'd defend this.
Because that is the target audience, but not the explicit message.
Your bias colors the post in a light that is favorable to your interpretation. Interpreted from a wider lens, it is genuinely perpetuating sexism. You've simply internalized it.
A 2 week old account posting over 250 times in that tiny duration, spending every single post completely blasting the Liberals and pretending to care about the NDP.
Hmmm...
Not sure I've ever seen such an egregious case of being on someone's payroll. Then again, I guess there's a chance this is someone so cripplingly, unapologetically far down the right-wing misinformation pipeline that they've completely lost control of their life and spend every waking moment trying to get images of the Liberals inviting immigrants into Canada and shutting down oil pipelines out of their heads.
Oh come off it. You and I both know that the man in this image is not the butt of the "joke," and it's an insult to both our intelligence to pretend otherwise. Fucking sad that it's 2025 and we're still defending pathetic positions like "the only thing that really impresses women is wealth" under the guise of shit like "no, no, see, he's old, so it's actually a deep and nuanced boomer humor Facebook post from Grandpa."
Sling insults and argue ad hominem to try and deflect all you want, this meme is base level, early 2000s sexism.
Don't get me wrong, this is some pretty par for the course .ml logic, but that screencap isn't evidence of that being said? This is someone from .world stating that as a supposed quote by "ML," which reads as hyperbole.
There are plenty of unapologetically awful tankie things being said over there. We don't need to exaggerate or flat out make things up.
