I get the sentiment and it's cool you put some time into this. That said I think it looks go much like him leading the protesters. The composition isn't ideal for the message, you know.

Not want to be an asshole, it's just what seemed off to me, becuae when I saw this in my feed it looked like a very much pro trump image on first glance.

Belief in magic is pretty even between the genders and pretty common

I was interested and looked up some studies. There is a gender gap in spiritual believe and women tend to be more spiritual, including believing in magic. So OPs statement in that regards holds.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying everything that op wrote is correct or that I agree, but the starting point they used, that women tend to belive in magical stuff more often, seems to be true.

I have to admit thag I just never had problems, so I just use what ever I can get. I use vegan soaps, if that helps, but I can't compare them to non vegan ones.

I don't know where you are located, but here we have dedicated body and shampoo soap bars. They are quite a bit nicer to akin than using normal soap. That's all the advice I have to offer unfortunately :)

I have been using solid bodysoap and shampoo now for some years and it has likley saved a solid amount of plastic waste and is super easy.

Sounds like massive human bias at play. Any source?

World's crulest animal puts other animals in captivity and then calls them dumb for showing their natural behaviour in a completely alien envirment. More at 11.

"Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore," Musk wrote in the all-staff email. "This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade."

This is so fucking cringy.

So because the majority of voters voted Republican the parents who lost children deserve no empathy from you, even if you don't knwo how they voted.

This is a shit take. Everybody who lost a child deserves empathy, period.

"Minorities" are actually dangerously close to becoming the majority in most White/first world nations.

That kind of lies.

At the time of the 2021/22 Census, 16% of people in the UK had been born abroad – a total of around 10.7 million migrants. Although the foreign-born population has increased further between 2021 and 2024, no reliable data are available for later years.

But they are giving the context in which he says it.

The story came about as he was discussing his uneasiness for looking at blood, which prompted him to recall the incident.

And I wouldn't call it cherry picking if an article that says: Here is a bad thing Trump said in an old interview is quoting, well, said bad thing. In Context.

I mean, you are right about what they did. He said a lot of stuff and they represent the things that make him look bad. Doesn't change that he said them tough.

I was saying, 'Get that blood cleaned up! It's disgusting!' The next day, I forgot to call [the man] to say is he OK.

It's just not my thing
