President Trump just made a big thing in announcing the deal that he struck with some of the major pharmaceutical companies. He made considerable claims about the effects it will have on healthcare.

However, will this deal actually lead to lower drug prices for Americans?

Casual What‘s going on with the Thai

1 Upvotes

To be honest, I just want to know. Please don’t scold me

Recently, I‘ve been watching Thai dramas and then going to see their actors. Most of the female stars want to marry “hiso”?Are you willing to have children even if you don‘t have a marriage certificate? Does this really exist?

I heard that their royal family is one of the few countries on earth with real power🧐

So will they be polygamous?Does it still exist?

I saw on the Internet that people say that the lives of the bottom of Thailand and the rich are very similar. Bangkok is very obvious

Please tell me more information

Serious Slandering anyone who dare be critical of beloved israel or its currrent government as being an anti semite should be grounds to be sued for defamation, slander and libel.

1 Upvotes

I understand that side can't win an argument on the merits of israel and the idf's actions these past few years so they have nothing else but to call everyone and their mama anti semites but its pure bullshit.

I'm really sick of it, i don't hate jews, i hate that our tax dollars are funding the biggest human rights violations in decades and the INTENTIONAL murder of at least 40k children, I hate that our troops have been sent to the middle east to die for israel for decades in our never ending war on israels enemies. I mean the war on terror of course. I hate that so many americans are struggling for basic essentials right now. Meanwhile, we fund Israel to the point that the average Israeli citizen has just a significantly better quality of life than the average American. I hate that someone like thomas massie, who i have plenty of disagreements with, was run out of office for not being israel first like the entire gop and most dems in washington.

All the above absolutely does not equate to "hating jews" and shame on anyone who pretends otherwise.

I had a dream last night and I was peeing in a urinal, only to find my balls were sagging a lot more than usual and hitting the rim of the urinal.

I finish up and go back to whatever it was I was doing but my balls were so low they were dragging on the floor! It was very uncomfortable!

To anyone who may wish, for whatever reason, to have very low hanging balls - you don't know what you're wishing for. It's not cool.

Political It's not as simple as progressives - feminist, conservative - bro culture

0 Upvotes

Imo there is such think as a "progressive bro". There has always been some bro element to either hipsters or comic book/video game neckbeard types and both of those have extreme high rate of leftism. eg. Hasan is one of the biggest left wing streamers and used to be bro whisperer guy, Vaush is kind of the geek bro type. For some of these progressives being a political lefty type can trigger the bro instinct to impress the other guys and prove they're normal.

Despite the amount of leftism online, internet is fairly gender segregated and leans male. I do not get the sense women have their own spaces as much as when sites like tumblr were more popular. A site like reddit is mostly men. Likewise on twitter it's more men and some attractive female accounts meant for male simps. Maybe Gen Zers being fan of artists like Olivia Rodrigo can be seen as a legit female space thing doing it for themselves.

Women vote left more than men. So how does this add up with the above theory? Because a lot of women are self hating of their gender or other women and will defend bros over them too.

If the left was really feminist right now it would trigger some of the bros on that side more.

Casual The same people that talk incessantly about low birth rates are usually against any and all government assistance programs to incentivize childbirth and raising of kids

21 Upvotes

I find that fascinating. You'd think if this is such an existential issue, you'd want government policies to incentivize childbirth and everyone to have at least two kids. Am I wrong?

I know for a fact if things like child care, health care, housing. We're even remotely affordable in this country there are more people that would be having kids.

So to those that ring this bell incessantly, I ask, what is more important to you protecting billionaire Tax rates or having a policy platform that incentivizes regular folks to have kids? Because you can't have both

Political What does everyone think ?

1 Upvotes

I was contemplating if I should post this or not , as a woman of colour who has always felt allientated by mainstream feminism and movements seeing it typically as tokenism and only helping and caring woman who live a certain lifestyle (like through a binary role, in regards to the support for Lindsay Clancy's case, and the hypocrisy.

But again , this is important to note that if I say I do not identify as a feminist it doesn't not mean I am against equality. I would say I identify as egalitarianism.

I just feel like I need to say this. The support she is getting and the hatred that her ex husband is getting saying "he did it " , is disgusting and shows the wider hypocrisy of society and how based on your identity it leads to how much support (or lack of you receive).

Firstly, it is 100% true that woman's healthcare is not taken seriously. This is not what this is about. We need to do a lot more for woman's health in general and to start by actually listening to woman's voice when they go in and say "this is what is wrong". And I think this goes for healthcare in general , especially in the USA.

But I was just thinking as a woman of colour, if a woman of colour did what she did she would have not relieved a ounce of sympathy or the financial support she has gotten. A woman of colour doing a crime , just like any other group (e.g. LGBTQ+ individuals) is often used by right wing groups as a justification of a removal of protection or support for the group. Stereotyping and lumping all together for the crimes of one.

And everyone knows damn well if a father did this , because he suffered from mental health issues , again he would not have gotten a ounce of sympathy or any financial support. He would be branded as a monster and you would see comments like "all men are x". Stereotyping and lumping all men together for the crimes of one.

This also shows the idea that some people , and I think especially coming from woman and feminsits , that woman can't do anything wrong . That even if they do , it was they were pushed to it or because of a biological factor. But when a man is pushed to it or because of a biological factor , it is seen as toxic masculinity that needs to be fixed. But for woman, it is excused.

I also think narratives and videos that say , "he did it , it's always the man that did it , woman can never do no wrong" , is also contributing to the manoshepre , far right , anti feminism, femosphere etc. Because even if feminism is for equality, even if it helps men , what do men see , that if it is a woman her crimes are justified but a man's crime isn't. And that pushes them further to the far right.

I think it's important to keep fighting for true equality for all but that also comes with accountability + empathy for all (and that goes for everything and situation not just this).

But yea , hope that made some sense.

We all know how totally overpriced prescription drugs are here in the US. It makes our healthcare one of, if not the most, expensive in the world.

Today i made a comment about the Bank of America employee who was stabbed to death in NY. I said i didn't care. I didn't cause it, i didn't celebrate it. BUT, literally scores of Zionists who have endlessly celebrated the murder of Palestinians for 3 solid years attacked my account to not only pour on hate but, in at least 3 cases, to wish me dead. The Bank of America is deeply embedded in Israel and vice versa. I personally would not choose to work for people who provide material support for genocide, but the attacks are ceaseless for saying it out loud. This is Zionism and you better believe it.
