100% garanteed Bardella and the whole party do Nazi salutes between themselves. Just never in public - those who do get kicked out. The US far right simply tested the boundary long enough to realize that no one will do shit about any of it - but Europe still pushes back when we see it.

Surely the lack of opposable thumbs made it difficult to hold a ruler long enough to measure the Earth precisely.

Only because Russia is failing to do what they’ve really wanted to do since the beginning, or did you forget Bucha.

They’re still stealing children by the thousands though.

Yeah, whatever Trump decides to do with the US membership, there’s nothing he can do about everyone else. He can pick his the US’ toys and leave, NATO will be weaker, but Europe will still want an alliance to defend themselves, even if Trump tries to pressure individual members.

People claiming it’s dead are delusional.

Not having sex doesn’t make you at fault. Rapists make that claim to pretend they’re right. But they are not, they are lying. Only rapists defend that lie.

You start from the conclusion that it makes you at fault, and you deduce that it must be part of the vow. Your reasoning is nonsense, you are trying to justify a conclusion that is already wrong by inventing a premise that doesn’t exist.

There is no such thing as a promise for sex in marriage vows, you fucking clown.

No no, that’s the joke

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape_laws_by_country

France Explicitly criminalised The law criminalises rape, including spousal rape, and domestic violence, and the government generally enforced the law effectively. The Court of Cassation authorized prosecution of spouses for rape or sexual assault in 1990. In 1994, Law 94-89 criminalised marital rape; a second law, passed 4 April 2006, makes rape by a partner an aggravating circumstance in prosecuting rape. (Article 222-24(11) of the Criminal Code)

I figure the crux of an argument would more likely rest on defining consent, which is where there’s always progress to be made.

Also there was a massive trial that ended just recently about the mass rapes of a wife who was drugged to sleep by her husband and offered to people for years without her knowledge. Of the 50 guys including the husband, most of them got prison I think.

All over the news for months here and it made some degree of International noise, at least in Europe. Dunno about the US.

Edit to your edit - “not true anymore” is an understatement, it hasn’t been true for 30 to 35 years.

By calling it “starting a war” (which is a lie) and insisting that it has never gone well, you are implying that they should lie down and let Israel genocide them. Because that’s how that goes.

You’re mixing up what people say and what they think. Biden and Blinken both denied the war crimes and the genocide, and we have evidence that they knew what it was. Nazi Germany might have spread propaganda about security, but they DEFINITELY knew they were exterminating entire “races”. Maybe not the randos in the streets, but anyone operating in a camp or the government.

Propaganda is not what these people actually believe, it’s the tool they use to give cowards plausible deniability. Those participating actively, and those not stopping it.

Yes, there are people who are in fact monsters.

Because you’re calling that statistic a Nazi dog whistle, and that means you’re saying it’s fake / fabricated and pro-Nazi propaganda somehow. It may not be what you intended, but it is the meaning of the phrasing you used.

It’s targeting what they want to sell you depending on what target group you are, it’s never been what might actually interest you personally.

What do the parents know about the “Great Work”, is it true or a lie?

Considering it started before the Empire (and they didn’t even know what happened), it seems to me that the Great Work was simply just the money minting operation. In fact, seeing how hard the whole planet has this '70s-80s America vibe, I imagine that it’s a really old ass secret, like, from a very long time ago in the Old Republic (as old as '70s America is to us!), the entire reason it got so big - because money. Everybody was simply indoctrinated into it, into keeping the secret and not stealing anything or leaving, but it wasn’t much more than that. Early guesses were that it would link into the sequel trilogy somehow, but it looks like it was simply a forgotten secret from the past, not for the future.

Jod’s fate can be anything they need, if they ever want to pick up the story later, if they want Jod to return, they can just say he escaped or hid or maybe he did time in prison and then got out. If they don’t, if Disney were to collapse tomorrow, you can just assume that Jod was captured and that’s that. There’s no real point in saying RIGHT NOW, if ever, how this wraps up, you don’t write yourself into a corner when you really don’t need it at all. It doesn’t matter, the good guys won. Any later detail is not that interesting until they follow through with something else.

What about the other At planets? Why are they just abandoned?

The Republic collapsed. It’s safe to assume that one planet got lucky and the others didn’t. Probably because they didn’t follow protocol as scrupulously as our guys!

Mando started it and Ahsoka is still continuing that line of thought, yes (with the still upcoming season 2).

Things do happen in part 2 that has been out for nearly a year but we only got one part of what we expected, everyone got mad that the big scene was “stolen from us”, and we expect the other shoe to drop in the upcoming part 3. The writers did it on purpose, and they might plan to make it worse for us.

Having a drink?

Via people. Who go on Lemmy.

We also know from that other study this summer that two groups of Neanderthals stayed in their respective cave system 10 days away from each other, for 50 000 years, and never interbred. People from the end of that 50 000 year period had the same gene pool as those from the beginning, and none from the neighbour group. 50 000 years of no one walking 10 days to clap cheeks. Until the extravert Sapiens jocks walked in and adopted an introvert Neanderthal to pull out of their cave and fuck for, apparently, some 5 000+ years, shortly before Neanderthal extinction (or assimilation of the hot ones into Sapiens I should say).

That article pondered the difference in world views between the two, but yeah, autism works too.

He said he had asperger once around 3 years ago.
