Panetta argued—in a probably conscious paraphrase of Anne-Marie Slaughter—that “girls don’t have to change who they are” to become arms dealers and military officers. Rather, the war machine must change for us. And which female “us” is that? The writer and journalist Rania Khalek once sardonically declared that, in American geopolitics, “all that actually matters is breaking glass ceilings, even if that means breaking the actual ceilings of women in Yemen.”

Real events bore out Khalek’s observation with spine-tingling crudeness when, in 2019, the weapons manufacturer Raytheon (responsible for many lethal drone bombings of Yemenis) wrote a check to the Girl Scouts of the USA, after which the two organizations cosponsored a series of “Cyber Challenges” themed around juvenile females’ career advancement. Smiling cadettes learned code and received “mentorship,” all courtesy of the “defense” megalith that ongoingly profits from selling bombs to Saudi Arabia, which end up obliterating Yemeni school buses.

To the best of your knowledge, in the New Testament, Jesus says "Get thee behind me, Satan" to:

Abraham, appearing in a vision

A fig tree

The archangel Gabriel

It's said TO Jesus, by Saul

Judas Iscariot

The moneychangers at the Temple

Nobody, it's entirely apocryphal

Saint Peter

Satan

It was said to st Peter! Peter said "gracious lord I hope you don't suffer and die" and Jesus called him a worldly little tempter just for being nice.

Congrats to the 42% of people who knew this, commiserations to the 20% of people who thought it was Satan, many of whom thought it was during the Temptation, where Jesus says get thee hence, and a spirited participation trophy to all the people who learned the funny fig story (as a child I believe it was taught to me as Jesus experiencing the imperfect passions of humanity which feels heretical to me).

I had lots of fun coming up with red herrings so it wasn't just a guess between the right and wrong answer! I'm delighted two people bit on Abraham which I thought was obtuse enough you could really talk yourself around to it, and congrats to you all for not taking a wild swing on Gabriel.

some people think that dog people vs cat people is a new phenomenon but the rashidun caliphate conquered the sasanian empire in like the 7th century so like

[innerchildabortionclinic]

also any other ocdheads feel the need to do certain rituals after touching dogs for cleanliness but not cats?

I feel like this is just kind of logical since cats are quite clean animals in general

sometimes i'm like "I regret not having the college experience" then I come across a social media post like "my boyfriend still has the frat cooler a girl in college made him" and i'm now really grateful I was never in such a state of mind where I wanted to decorate a cooler for a guy in a fraternity. it's also possible I just have a lot of hate in my heart and wish suffering on more well adjusted individuals

as a teen, i was constantly harassed by adults enforcing ''dress codes'' on me. I very much experienced this as sexual harassment. I think this is one of many cases where people would more easily understand this as sexual harassment if I described it as if it happened to an adult.

imagine being on your lunch break, and your supervisor comes over to your table, tells you to stand up in front of everyone. they draw everyone's attention to your thighs. they tell you that you have broken the dress code because of the length of your shorts. they tell you to go change (so you do not get the rest of your lunch break). they do this every single day at lunch. every day. so you read the whole dress code front and back, and you choose your clothing carefully to not break it. you bring a cloth tape measure with you to work because they will not believe you. this time when your supervisor tells you that you're breaking dress code, you pull out your tape measure and show that you are within the limit. your supervisor says "I bet you wouldn't want me to bring you to the boss and let him measure it, would you?" it's clearly a threat: if you don't obey then you will be put alone in a room with your boss and he will touch your thighs. you don't know how to respond. you're taken out of lunch again.

this was my experience at school. replace supervisor with "teacher" and boss with "principal." this was sexual harassment. fuck dress codes.

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport the first person on the moon went there by accident and promptly died. The next dozen or so people also went by accident, and also died. Number 14 figured out that people who go to the moon die and very cleverly brought a sword and six weeks of travel rations. This did not help.

No one on Planet Where Everyone Can Teleport ever figured out why people die in space because they don’t need airplanes and never found it particularly interesting to climb tall mountains. Astronomers use telescopes to take pictures of the ever-growing pile of corpses on the moon.

“why don’t they teleport back” because they’re not on the planet where everyone can teleport anymore. try to keep up dumbass

#this feels like a fable that would have some kind of moral but I’m not quite sure what#something about like hard work/effort/the need to be curious idk

the moral of the story is that a breathable atmosphere is important to one’s general well-being
