124·22 days agoUhhhh
“seeing other women” means “not exclusive”
but “not exclusive” does not always mean “seeing other women”
He could be, just as one example of many, very unsuccessful at trying to see other women despite having an existing “nonexclusivity” agreement with her.

122·2 months agoAcceptable and unproblematic levels of irony such that it’s not really ironic at all without some major oversimplifications and assumptions. Like when workers go on strike, "oh how ironic that they’re working for them in the first place!”

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that a child born out of wedlock to an American father might not get birthright citizenship, but a child born out of wedlock to an American *mother* automatically gets birthright citizenship.English
13·2 months ago“to ensure that the child and citizen parent have some demonstrated opportunity to develop… a relationship… that consists of the real, everyday ties that provide a connection between child and citizen parent and, in turn, the United States”
Huh… The child in this case became a US permanent resident at the age of 6. Is that not enough for an implied connection with the country? So much yikes with this ruling. Then again what else can be expected in a 5-4 Republican majority splot.

Canada@lemmy.ca•BC’s Drug Response Isn’t Following the Evidence: Former Coroner | The TyeeEnglish
2·2 months agoThat’s the best thing about representative and not direct democracy: you can do the right thing, e.g. pass correct legislation or policies even if it’s not popular. Instead they do the opposite. Maybe some day the majority of Canadians will come to grips with how our democracy is mostly just a thinly veiled oligopoly. As a BCer it’s probably further away for us than the other provinces.
