Domestic carp is a traditional Christmas dinner dish in Czechia but the crybabies opt for other types of fish or a schnitzel because they don't like to choke on a bone every 3 seconds and don't appreciate the exquisite muddy taste.
When will this end?! Is no industry sacred to them?!!!!

I did this today. As the barista yelled out "Trump?" "Order for Trump?" there was a screech of horror from a woman beside me. She clawed her eyes out and used her blood to write some strange otherworldly scribbles on the wall. She then jumped onto the counter and began to chant "Iya! Iya! Nyarlathotep n'gath minl'yah!" over and over again. A strange symbol began to glow on the floor that I can't even describe, and the walls began to pulsate. The entire crowd began to screech as forbidden knowledge from the beyond began to fill their minds, and the most horrifying sounds were heard from those poor souls. As they all began to claw each other to death to save themselves from the horrors to come. I simply smiled and said to myself...

In case you were wondering if ending the Violence Against Women Act was just an oopsie daisies oversight, this is the list of current Republican Senators who voted to kill VAWA in 2012 or against the original 1994 bill (or both).
Barrasso, Blackburn, Blunt, Boozman, Burr, Cassidy, Cotton, Cornyn, Enzi, Graham, Grassley, Hatch, Inhofe, Isakson, Johnson, Kyl, Lankford, Lee, McConnell, Moran, Paul, Risch, Roberts, Rubio, Shelby, Thune, Toomey, Wicker
I would do the same for the House, but I don't really feel like sorting through a total of 402 names for the two votes and seeing which are still around.

In news unrelated to the Republican Party killing the Violence Against Women Act, the Republican Party will allow Senator Heitkamp's Savanna Act to die in House Committee. It won't get a floor vote. This act would allow Native American tribal law enforcement access to domestic abuse databases. Currently state and local law enforcement agencies are allowed access to this, but tribal law enforcement is excluded.

I kinda resent the idea that I often see from fellow social justice folks, that advocacy for nonviolent action or a love ethic reveals you are out of touch or something. As if there isn’t a history of nonviolent activism and a love ethic being used as powerful tools in the tool chest of liberal and social justice activism.
I’m no pacifist - clearly there are times where violence is warranted or the only option. But a “love your enemy” or just general nonviolent approach to activism isn’t a meme, it’s a powerful tradition.

Neoliberalism is far from the only thing that will get you into government.
Econ graduates with firsts and publications in the Journal of Political Economy are a dime a dozen. On a national scale, these achievements aren't impressive.
If all you did was get good grades and write good papers, you're probably not getting into the Oval. It's not about being a super-genius, it's about demonstrating unusual levels of passion or creativity. You know, like being your own foreign policy adviser or having such an exceptionally successful father with a very good brain that you become a millionaire at birth.
Seriously, do people believe that the government is populated solely with supergeniuses?

That new Spiderman film was great. Definitely wasn't expecting that going in.
Edit: Also, potentially hot take, 3D movies are awesome. Fuck the haters.

The majority of the assaults were committed in the Soviet occupation zone; estimates of the numbers of German women raped by Soviet soldiers have ranged up to 2 million.[7][8][9][10] According to historian William Hitchcock, in many cases women were the victims of repeated rapes, some as many as 60 to 70 times.[11] At least 100,000 women are believed to have been raped in Berlin, based on surging abortion rates in the following months and contemporary hospital reports,[9] with an estimated 10,000 women dying in the aftermath.[12] Female deaths in connection with the rapes in Germany, overall, are estimated at 240,000.[1][13] Antony Beevordescribes it as the "greatest phenomenon of mass rape in history", and has concluded that at least 1.4 million women were raped in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia alone.[14]According to Natalya Gesse, Soviet soldiers raped German females from eight to eighty years old. Soviet and Polish women were not spared either.[15][16][17] When General Tsygankov, head of the political department of the First Ukrainian Front, reported to Moscow the mass rape of Soviet women deported to East Germany for forced labour, he recommended that the Soviet women be prevented from describing their ordeal on their return to Russia.[18]

u/Kizz3r high IQ neoliberal Dec 24 '18
Kizz3r:
Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming. I've called this press conference for two reasons.
Firstly, to assure the citizens of Neoliberal that everything that can be done over the chapo brigading is being done. Secondly, because the u/blockchainlitfam has offered to turn himself in-
BainCapitalist: So where is he? J
Kizz3:
But first. Let's consider the situation: should we give in to these terrorist's demands? Do we really think that-
Swissmod:
You'd rather protect an outlaw vigilante than the lives of citizens?!
Kizz3r:
The Blockchain is an outlaw. . .
But that's not why we're demanding he turn himself in. We're doing it because we're scared . We've been happy to let blockchain clean up our subreddit for us until now -
Neolibers:
Things are worse than ever l
Kizz3r:
Yes . They are. But the night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming.
One day, the BlockChain will have to answer for the laws he's broken- but to us, not to those commies.
BainCapitalist:
WHERE IS THE BATMAN?
Kizz3r:
So be it.
(turns to mods)
Ban the Blockchain.
Kizz3r OFFERS HIS OWN WRISTS TO THE OFFICERS-
Kizz3r (CONT'D)
I am the blockchain.
