but queer is just a slur for lesbian or gay and asexual? who is going to fuck with you just because you don't have sex? Man christians would love you for it i maybe it is intersexual? whatever that is
It doesn't actually mean anything in particular, but it's a thing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I bet by 2020 it is something like lgbtqiasikeklsomwerpzxcvbnm

I think the q is for "questioning" a is for "asexual" The + is for the other letters they haven't included yet
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
they should make it lgbtqiah, since heterosexuals are oppressed.
sk
>LGBTQ: "LGBTQ" is an abbreviation that originated in the 1990s and replaced what was formerly known as "the gay community." The abbreviation was created to be more inclusive of diverse groups. LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (and/or questioning) individuals/identities. I mean it's both queer and questioning
It's people for whom the question at the start of pokemon is like taking your math finals Takes a lot of thought, and they're adults now, still not sure
The amount of letters is fucking ridiculous anyway If you're gonna have the + there, just fucking leave it at that, then, dipshits G+ means the same thing as this clusterfuck of an abbreviation does The plus makes all equal
Gays and everyone else is the same as Lesbians, Gays, Trans, Bi, Queer, Irradiated, Asexual and everyone else

I think they could really trim the fat on the abbreviation if they wanted to
Lesbian and Bi? they're both gay Queer and indeterminate or whatever? that's trans basically Asexual? I mean what kinds of rights are you looking for here? You explicitly don't want to fuck anybody, what right are you having infringed here? What right based on this identity COULD anyone infringe on?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>19354 but that would be OPPRESSIVE no a bi is not gay bot lesbian, gay, queer all are the same in the end people just associate gay to be men usually and well for some reason women needed a "gay" term for themselves.
Yeah but are you trying to say the heterosexual part of their bisexuality is what's having its rights oppressed? Cause it's obviously not It's the gay part. That's the part that supposedly ain't equal yet

Also I understand python fine, I can read a program and as long as it isn't too long I can figure out what it does.

Apparently her products weren't even selling all that well. ...Probably because of who she's related to, really, but still.

>>19423 what's the source on that? i ask because that can be said of about every brand ever market research is constant refinement and most products don't sell well it'd be super easy to pluck one out and put that context onto it to make it sound bad when it applies to almost everything
Anno
http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/business/nordstrom-to-stop-selling-ivanka-trump-products-1.3964918 Granted it's Nordstrom saying they have a personal right do -to cut lines as they wish. But considering they didn't cut the line based on political-based complaints previously, it seems weird to me to do a 180 on it.
月
I have to wonder whether people understand that industry at all most of the time it's not even cutting a line that makes it sounds like they're discontinuing something, like it's extreme or negative retailers will do trial sales for contracted periods of times -- for super big franchised places, they'll trial it in, say, new york and boston at like 5 or 10 locations for X weeks and gauge sales on a product before a group of people that looks over all those things en masse makes decisions about where to expand to, what not to continue, and so forth the whole process is built into any retail branding
but for something to get pulled, it's not like "oh no walmart pulled all their beef off the counters, stopped selling it because it was contaminated" why is it even newsworthy in the first place
Anno
I think there's extenuating circumstances involving this brand, especially considering Nordstrom goes on to say they drop many lines of clothing a year. And it's not like there's reports for each and every one of those.

It has been a weird time being a reader of Cracked during these years how it has come from a site with actually funny content to nowadays being more political shoutbox than a comedy site with "comedy" being mostly slander towards their ideological opponents, dressed as "humour" Shame.
Maria
I haven't read Cracked for 3 years because of that shit
"Clearly the reason that brexit passed was because we didn't shout racism loud enough!" >>20125 i just havn't removed the bookmark, but they still have some fun content few times a month and also it is a good window to the regressive and "liberal" sphere But it is also amusing to see the comment section bashing their ideological articles harder and harder. Basically, even their loyal supporters are starting to get fed up with the bullshit the loud minority on the "american left" write out, pretending they represent the whole of their side.
Maria
What's the best way for the left to market itself now without seeming like whiny faggots?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
well for the starters, actually resume supporting the working class and not cater to the needs of whiny faggots like >>20126 dem in dis pic I didn't know that it was in working class' interest to get more low-income immigration workers, that drive the minimum wage and accept the same job as the native worker, but for worse (at times semi-illegal) terms. But that is just scraping the surface when it comes to quite many, but not all, left leaning parties in europe. I just wonder what happened. In space of about 10 years they just turned from working class' party to a party driven more by blind fervourish ideology, and beliefs that no way represent the reality.

Quarters or even years or even several years is how businesses operate. A day, unless it is a holiday or somethign when they KNOW business will increase, matters nothing at all.
Well there is a business that operates on a week basis, but then again selling fireworks to general public is allowed only on one week a year. So a "let's not buy fireworks on NY's day" would hit that small niche industry quite bad.
Also, continuing on the slander of trump with so much baseless or half-truths told about him, any legitimate criticism gets buried or classified under the constant umbrella of just lies and slander against trump How can the general public trust anything told about him, when most are revealed to be utter bullshit or way out of proportions blown out stuff.
The opposition just digs their own trench wider and deeper, so that the rest of the country will fall into that muddy shitty ditch of theirs eventually. A real "if I can't win, no one wins" mentality indeed. Maybe USA should have that much desired communist revolution. See how actual dictatorship and oppression on national level is and what real ideological civil war is and feels like.
Take finland, who had a reds vs whites civil war for example. About 90 years after the war, 4th or 5th generation descendants of the reds are still frowned upon in some circles. For example, the army barely allows red descendants into high officerships.

plenty of countries have way saner voting than the US and frankly big cities should have more influence because more people live there not the current fucked-up gerrymandered bullshit
Maybe humans just aren't cut out for government on this scale Maybe you should quit the fucking state shit already and just either be one country or several
>>20324 Big cities are governed one way and the country side another policies and acts that benefit the big city will and have fucked up the rural area
For example, here is the turn out by election region on out last parliament election Now about 1/5th of our population lives in the capital region, and our presidential election is a direct vote.
Yup, and thus you can win the presidential election without giving a fuck about more than half of the population at times getting the southern big cities on your side, guarantees you about 20-30% votes, and thus a place on the second round. And then it is just enough marketing to get the swing votes on your side if you get lucky, without actually giving a fuck about the remaining voters.
Sure it rarely happens, and our multiparty system keeps such development in check But with a first past the post...

Hmm, I guess a major problem in many countries nowadays is, how the system is built on "informed public can make an informed decision" but if all information is starting to become misinformation, what happens then?
Samurai !KW2DbpWwls
people vote with their gut anyway even if they have the information they go with the charismatic person skynet 4 prez
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
most don't but people do adhere to policy and ideology too much and are reluctant to change voting habits, even if proven that their former party of choice is no longer a good idea. Of course, a multisystem party works around this, as long as the new bloods can be trusted to be less-shitty than the old guard. But even that is not a perfect system, as eventually a political elite of carreer politicians will form up and envelop every form of "ruling class" types.
