The Whole Purpose

https://www.the-reframe.com/the-whole-purpose/

"It's that "the whole point of" that gives the game away. It creates this entire creaking haunted house of assumptions. The assumption that comprises the frontage of the edifice is that women must have a point, and that certain men (them) are the ones who will define that point and make all adjudications about whether that point has been achieved."

@BLuOXide how close to M&Ms are they? (Do y'all have M&Ms?)

no doubt this is a change on the youtube side...

@BLuOXide Brits have the Canada version too I think--they're chocolate, right?

seems like it used to be if you 'favorited' a post w/a youtube link on here, you'd get a clue what the video was about--there'd be a pic & the title of the video would show. Now all I see is this.

Bummer. :(

@_Hunter nice!

Do you reckon you'll be able to put a computer monitor on that upper shelf, or is it not that kind of a desk?

@maybeimaleo @Bix I hear ya. For me that's our local paper (seattle times) + NPR. Neither is perfect, but between them I feel like I have a bead on reality.

@LiberalLibrarian @Bix give it up for the classics...

@Bix LOL. What a clown.

I regret that I had but one subscription to cancel...

@Bix as is a fourth estate who will actually pursue waffling politicians and point out inconsistencies and character defects--for BOTH parties.

@Flyingdutchman696 that whole party is attempting to live in a post-Democracy US.

@CanisVeritum she destroyed San Francisco, as everybody knows, and then later the world. The world is now destroyed. Because of democrats. They destroyed the world. Many people are saying this. They come up to me, with tears in their eyes. Big strong men--crying--telling me that the world is destroyed...

@MakerWerks even if they could sub in someone else in terms of ballots & state election laws--would it be politically feasible? Seems like it's become such a cult of personality that the maga faithful wouldn't come out for e.g., a desantis or haley.
