I guess that makes sense but that seems so difficult to reach for a movement, can the meetings of EU leaders propose laws themselves or do they also have to get votes?

In the US for something like StopKillingGames we have a local senior that we can call and yap to and (in theory) they’d listen to what their citizens have to say and start the process of making it a bill, when then would become a law after a couple rounds of approval and editing before being approved or vetoed by the president.
There’s actually a children’s music video they played to all of us in school when we were young, it’s unironically a super good way to teach people about how it works, https://youtu.be/SZ8psP4S6BQ

If you hear people in US politics say “call your senator” that’s who they’re calling, they have some power over bills that can be voted out I think.

also, I’ll just add an asterisk to the whole paragraph as

1. I’m not a lawyer, I just have a basic highschool education so far, I might be wrong

2. the whole idea of a “justice system” and “laws” are kinda currently being thrown out the window?? i don’t really know what’s happening anymore.

3. also presidents can propose bills or something and skip the senior section I think?

anyways, it’s pretty interesting learning about how laws work over there. Seems so much more simple than ours :/

this sounds like the kinda thing that I (uneducated in this topic) would go “heh… yeah…” and upvote not understanding the joke

then I open comments and it’s actually about tossing toddlers into a volcano and I am immediately sentenced with the guilt of upvoting a meme about child volcano sacrifice and I have to come to terms about how I am a horrible person who will blindly follow someones agenda because they were using big words and I am actually incredibly foolish and don’t deserve an opinion about anything ever…

or it’s just an extremely nerdy joke that nobody really understands but upvotes anyways

(unfortunately) speaking as an American, why is it so hard to get legislation to pass in the EU?

happy cake day

happy cake day!!

why you gotta be so rude about it? like we’re forced to live here, your bragging doesn’t help anyone

I don’t speak this language, but I trust it’s funny 🩷

I read the whole article and I’m still kinda confused what the “we” in the title is referring to.

Also and addition to the ‘non disabled people pushing for accomodations even when it isn’t needed then not listening to the disabled people’ conversation, /s should only be used when the sarcasm isn’t obvious.

The entire r/fuckthes sub is autistic people saying how it ruins jokes then non autistic people saying “nO iTs FoR pEoPlE wItH aUtIsM” and saying the sub is ableist and its so annoying how they won’t listen to the very people they’re claiming to fight for.

Not to say I think /s is useless, it definitely has a place when sarcasm is iffy, a good example is making fun of conservatives where people might think you’re serious.

Also the /hj (half joking) one is SO infuriating because there’s 2 halves and one of them is a joke but it doesn’t say which one. It’s never really been an issue for me personally, but it’s a bad system that gets on my nerves.

I’m not sure if I’m putting my thoughts into words well enough to get my point across without sounding like an asshole.
idk I just have some controversial opinions on tone indicators that’s minorly annoying to me and thought this would be a good place to share.

are they actually just lizards?

due to the ‘Dont Say Gay’ bill my biology teacher said it was “great sex” instead of “gay sex”.

literally 1984

Sidenote, the modern web is so fucked because how am I supposed to teach a kid that I would trust the random website “paper.wtf” I have never seen before with literally “meow” randomly above their article MORE than businessinsider.com which is like at the top of every search result

Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc’d may be attended with much Inconvenience.

I didn’t need to know Benjamin Franklin fucks old ladies because they can’t have babies, but I appreciate the honor of carrying this information.

also the idea of a genius putting a bucket on the head of a grandma he fucks and telling her to act like she’s 21 is HILARIOUS to me

so you’d pay if there was a free trial?

I’ve gotten that before too

I wish I could close or move windows around with my brain. It would be so nice.
