If it is a story from the US that would make international news if it were in another country, it should be posted here. I'm from Canada, US politics is world news to me. Their wretched politics seeps across our border, it's material to my day to day life to stay abreast of the broad current events in the US, just like the UK.

They are still happening, the western News just got bored of it. The morality police just received orders to start cracking down hard on women with uncovered heads. The government believes it has the authority to end any Iranians life for any reason, even outside of Iran. The clergy would rather burn down the entire country than let people live free from religious oppression. Without outside pressure, these protests are just going to mean more dead women and stiffer laws against them.

I didn't take those jobs, but thanks for the unnecessary hostility.

I worked as an extra in Canada. Scab work is half the jobs, especially for commercials. You sign NDAs to keep it secret from the US unions.

Check out this video from Practical Engineering, a channel about teaching us about our constructed world, when it works and when it fails. https://youtu.be/jxNM4DGBRMU

They're a Jordan Peterson mod, don't bother. The ultimate Idiot's Genius. Imagine thinking the only reason to be concerned for the plight of others must be for selfish reasons. It says more about them than you. And it's a deflection away from coming up with actually sound counterpoints. Mindless contrarianism.

There are regions in every country where not being racist makes you a pariah.

I'm a man who loved lurking the reddit sub. It was never about hating men, it was about being a woman in a man's world. A good place to feel good and remember we can rely on people for support when systems work to our disadvantage.
