I don't think anyone who mentions that honor killings are a thing is saying that. Honor killings have been recognized by amnesty international as being a distinct threat to women worldwide that is present in America as well specific to Muslim majority countries in the Middle East and Asia.

I think any child has the potential of being killed by their angry parents, it's happened very frequently from people of all backgrounds, but it's ok to admit that a Muslim girl who doesn't want to introduce you to her parents could be motivated by the fear of death or abuse in a very specific way. And i think it's ok to tell this kid that this is a possible additional pressure based on her culture.

But it's fair to say this has happened like a half dozen times in the US in two decades. That might feel like a lot, but considering the sheer number of Muslims who live in this country, that might as not happen at all.

I can keep both of these ideas in my head at the same time and not have a weird, knee-jerk meltdown in the comments!

Unironically every Korean amd Japanese dating show that isn't about divorcees.

Trucking is so funny. There is an adversarial relationship between the drivers and the office, which you can see in this comment.

The industry is trying to solve safety issues caused by the nature of long haul driving and maintenance of profit in logistics by companies that use their services.

Trucking used to be a way a person could provide for their family, remain independent, and feel in control. Now, trucking is an industry where you are trapped in a moving computer designed primarily to reduce the insurance rates of the company that employs them, because their business practices and demands were so dangerous, individuals truckers had to drive more hours, get paid less for those hours, and literally drive themselves, and other motorists around them when they crashed, to death.

Then they blame the truckers as they race to bottom in hiring. Don't even get me started on nafta. Your industry sucks for the employees who are necessary to keep the economy moving.

This seems so dumb, like people have simply put names to the typical tropes of online conversation, it's a very typical meta discussion that you don't seem to want to engage in, so why waste the time?

Your solution doesn't make sense, just take things less seriously! Are you the fucking Joker, this is serious shit. It only works if there are more likeminded people who share your "logical" opinion. If your solution is to always just overshout, you are agreeing to the will of the majority, which we call the tyranny of the majority in the United States. What happens when the majority you picture yourself as flips to the minority in the argument.

Congrats, you've just lost everything! Welcome to 2025. A zero sum game where if someone asks a genuine question with good discussion, people are going to come in to try to flip the table.

This is an excellent example of moving the goalposts, thank you!

Who's gatekeeper and purity testing this method of targeted censorship you've dreamed up?

The craziest shit about getting on an SNRI as opposed to an amphetamine based med was how quiet my space is compared to before.

Yeah, that's about the level of discourse I expected judging by the rest of this thread. Just gross shit.

Is this the suicide hotline? That's fucking ghoulish, you are gross.

This is some of the most incredible finger in the ear bullshit I've ever seen. If ya'll don't recon with the failures of the DNC and just try to shove them down the memory hole, you are just gonna get the same fucking shitty candidates with compromised primaries.

Look at this news, understand that the Biden admin was lying about trying to end an active genocide, we should demand much better. Keep in the top of your mind how feckless and cowardly the leadership was while staring down the barrel of a potential Trump second.

Ya'll are totally ok with losing some sort of moral high ground you weren't ever on, as evidenced by this story. Fucking callow moderate liberals are a curse, ml is right about that.
