Invading other countries and violating their soverignty has been what constituted the majority of french history for at least the past 500 years

Welcome to the world, white buffalo. Come through.
youre telling me a ham fisted this metaphor??
My dude, I might not even want my businesses to run like a business, the way businesses have been run lately.
As a young boy in school, Masaki Sashima would be dragged out of his classroom and beaten by his fellow students.
Masaki, now 72, was different to the other kids.
He was Ainu, an Indigenous people from the country's northern regions, most notably the large island of Hokkaido.
"During recess, the hallway door would open, and several guys would yell at me to come out," he said.
"I clung to my desk in the classroom and kept quiet.
"Everyone would surround me and beat me."
Japan has long portrayed itself as culturally and ethnically homogenous, something that some have even argued is a key to its success as a nation.
More than 98 per cent of Japanese people are descendants of the Yamato people.
But the Ainu are distinct, with their own history, languages, and culture.
But, as the victims of colonialism, assimilation, and discrimination, much of that identity has been lost.
An Ainu woman named Chiri Yukie wrote down some of her people's oral traditions into Japanese because, as a child, her people were being displaced by Japanese settlers in Hokkaido. Her language was disappearing, so she (ironically) saw translating the stories into Japanese as a way to preserve them. She died at age 19.

Stuff like this radicalizes me. How is this the best system we have?
Could you imagine how fucking awesome food service would be if your annual salary was $162,000 a year? And you’re just making pizzas and shit?
The worst part about working food service was the pay, I actually didn’t hate it that much and slinging out food that I knew actually tasted good gave me a sense of pride I don’t get in my job now. It was just not worth it for what I took home every week.
Yeah c'mon
I once had a landlord offhandedly mention that his mother had set this house on fire before. He and his wife lived on the first floor, and i rented the third.
Apparently his mom didn’t like his wife. So she set their house on fire. The house i was living in.
He assured me that everything was fine now and that this was years ago, just kinda laughed, smiled, and said ‘You know how moms are’
Yes. I know how moms are. I know how fucked up moms are as well. I have known many fucked up moms and fellow children of fucked up moms.
Attempted murder through arson is not typical mom behavior, even for a fucked up abusive mom
Oh, and his mother lived next door 🙃
There were two houses next door to each other, both owned by the same family. They had lived there for decades, and for my landlord it was also his childhood home. Each house had three floors that acted as separate units. Every unit in the two houses was occupied by members of the extended family— except for me. I was the oddball living in the attic of one of the houses.
This is the family dynamic i was tossed into
HOUSE ONE
- 1st floor— landlord and his wife
- 2nd floor— identical twin sister of landlord’s wife, occasionally children (not clear whose)
- 3rd floor— me ☺️
HOUSE TWO
- 1st floor— landlord’s mother, who previously set house 1 on fire
- 2nd floor— adult daughter of twin sister, her young kids, and current man (changes of man signified by throwing clothes out of window)
- 3rd floor— creepy brother of the twin sisters who is always outside working on his van
Yes, the rent was dirt cheap
The rent was so cheap that i usually paid in cash— ATM fees were about the same as money orders (and i didn’t have checks)
Then one day my landlord is in his truck, pulling out the driveway when he stops and asks
‘Hey— you haven’t been short on rent these last few months, have you?’
No… I had been paying in full, on time
To his wife. In cash
He wasn’t normally home when i would go to pay rent, so i would give it to her. Figured it was the same as giving it to him.
Turns out instead she was pocketing $100 off the top and telling him i was short each month.
And he knew it was happening. He just wanted to confirm.
‘Each month she makes it her little pay day! Well you know how wives are’
Sir, you need to reevaluate the women in your life because this level of stealing and attempted murder is not normal
“You know how moms/wives are” is a statistical error. Landlord Georg, whose wife and mother steal from and attempt to kill him, respectively, was a outlier and should not be counted
Additional fun fact! The reason he was hard to get a hold of? He worked a crazy schedule that always changed.
He was a hospital chef. Oh. And a wedding dj. He tried many, many times to hire me to help work dj events for him.
I would politely decline
This whole thing reads as at least a 30k notes post wdym it only has 130 notes
EARLY ON A BIG POST FOR ONCE
Concerned ape has been posting patch notes in the lead up to the sdv 1.6 pc update on the 19th . I’m so excited I hope it will come to consoles quickly 😭
i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:
1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.
2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.
60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.
WHAT WERE THE OTHER 37 (at least) GUYS DOING:
- they thought there was a queue for the stabbing & were politely waiting their turns and by the time they realised it was more of a free for all it was too late
- they forgot to bring their knives to the senate
- they all stabbed him actually but some of them put their knives into existing stab wounds
- they all stabbed him but the doctor who did the post mortem was like, really bad at counting
- they got nervous :(
Fun little fact from Suetonius: supposedly when Julius Caesar realised he was being assassinated he attempted to retaliate by stabbing one of his attackers in the arm with a pen so there were actually 24 stab wounds inflicted but one was on a different guy
Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).
Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).
Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included 78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)
Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.
Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations
yeah that’s super important.
This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.
Be kind. 💜
“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?
“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”
Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.
