Worst of Social Justice

Some are too young to vote, most can't be bothered. Like in any state. I would be happy if the US followed Australia's cue and made voting mandatory, and opened early voting online or via post to everyone, not just seniors and those living abroad.

To be fair, though, Texans don't exactly do a lot to fight the stereotype. I mean, just look at their recent record in governors. Or how pretty much every Texan I've known (spoiler: two people) wears a cowboy hat and makes their drawl as obvious as possible.

There's 27 million people in Texas. About ten percent of those voted for the current governor.

Wait, really? That's it?

That's what Wikipedia tells me. 2,796,547 people voted for Greg Abbot, 1,835,596 for Wendy Davis.

fanta = patriarchy... it's hitting "persecution complex" levels of projection, here.

Actually, a woman is more like a beer. They smell good, they look good, you'd step over your own mother just to get one. But you can't stop at one. You want to drink another woman.

I think that's just called ergonomic and intuitive design.

[I am lizard]

I was agreeing with it until the soft drink part.

[Skybison]

Actually I remember watch a TV documentry 10-20 years ago about the cola wars that said that Coke bottles were shaped to resemble a woman's body.  Partly because sex sells and party to make their bottles stand out from the competition.  They showed a commercial from the fifties that openly said so.

I couldn't find it on youtube so you'll have to take my word for it.

I don't think it's true of other pop brands though.

So women's bodies are ergonomically designed?

[Zygarde]

In a way yeah kinda, at least from an evolutionary standpoint they are. Since they're designed to carry near to term a fully developed child woman's bodies evolved with that kind of shape (it's also why subconsciously men like woman with wider hips because it indicates a better birthing area.)

More shit about "muh feelings" and "muh safe spaces"

[niam2023]

Its because of negative nancies like this that I take "do not endanger safe spaces" not as a recommendation, but as a challenge.

[Sigmaleph]

More shit about "muh feelings" and "muh safe spaces"

The fuck.

[Even Then]

You do realize the people who were joking about bomb threats at a convention in the first place actually left gracefully after a calm conversation, right?

[Sigmaleph]

I'm glad they apparently left on good terms. My reactions remains "the fuck".

Well, according to Rasmussen Reports, 64% of African-Americans say "All Lives Matter" best describes their views, as opposed to the 31% who say the same thing about "Black Lives Matter".
