Not really. I've been doing all of my own cooking for years.

Not really.

Black Lives Matter is a movement specifically to shed light on how cops abuse their power towards people of color and frequently go unpunished for it. Black Lives Matter is not about addressing how white people may suffer at the hands of police brutality and if you're trying to argue that it is, then you're either disingenuous or ignorant.

You do have a point though, where both feminism and Black Lives Matter focus on one group over people over others.

Great distinction.

No it's not. It clearly favors one side, but then people are saying it's about equality.

If whatever feminism is trying to describe is truly about equality, then we should use a term that isn't biased.

There should be a different word that doesn't favor one side if it's about equality.

Anyone who is tired of people misconstruing the meaning of the word 'feminism' should be trying to find a better word that means what they are trying to convey.

What is this referring to?

How dairy cows need to be pregnant in order to produce milk, so they're artificially inseminated and kept pregnant throughout most of their lives?

It's a really shit word to use if it's supposed to mean equality.

Are there any other words we can use to replace feminism that doesn't show bias towards one side?

Thomas Sankara was a true hero that was killed because he dared to threaten the status quo of "haves and have-nots."

Nah.

For one, I don't like a term that's supposed to promote equality clearly favoring one side in its name.

For two, most feminists I've met genuinely hate men and think they're owed superiority, not equality, for the treatment of women in the past.

Good point.

I don't know if we should consider characters as Disney Princesses that weren't created under the Disney Company.

It's my understanding that the only benefit gas stoves have over electric is that they are cheaper to operate.

As someone who has played video games most of their life and came up with every excuse in the book to avoid reading, I'm letting you know that you should try to develop an appreciation for it.

It will help you out in the long run, and give you something to do in your free time that, to be frank, doesn't make you seem like such a loser.

I'm just being honest and hoping you can learn something from my mistakes.

I'm realizing in my adulthood just how much school has hurt my impression of reading.

Throughout most of my life, I was so used to reading something and then having someone else explain it to me, that I never had the confidence to go off and read things on my own.

That makes a lot of sense.

This might make some of you uncomfortable, but it seems like this coincides with women's adoption of tech and social media.

Women already read at way higher rates than men, but since so many of them are swept up in the social media hysteria, they literally don't have time or patience to do it any more.

I didn't really read this, but it might not be that simple.

Most libraries will actually let you check out books "indefinitely," as long as you come back and renew every once in awhile.

If this church is splitting up checking out these books among different members, then it would be very difficult for a library to properly detect and enforce restrictions on them.

Even if the library could identify these people and put methods in place to stop them from what they're doing, it would still be a hassle and the church could be happy with just inconveniencing the 'liberal' library.

That's actually really funny.

I can't believe what goes through these people's minds.

I mean, these places are just grocery stores at this point. That's all Target is for me.

If I bought games, I would just buy them digitally or order a physical copy if for whatever reason that's what I want.

Books? Free downloads at anna's archive.

Movies? Free streaming sites and 1337.

Olive oil...? Decent? Isn't it all kind of the same thing? Lol. But yeah, that's just a grocery item you can get anywhere else.

They are competing with Walmart and Kroger, as a grocery store. That said, it's not much of a competition because you can buy the same damn groceries at Walmart for cheaper than Target, always.

Good.

Censorship needs to end.

I'm already getting into self-hosting.

It's surprisingly easy, and can be done with a VPN that has port forwarding.

Wouldn't be surprised with how shittifed the web is becoming that we end up with alternatives to DNS since it requires forwarding on port 80.
