amazing

I've been turning this over in my mind for a while, and I just can't help but think there is something deeply wrong with the new campaign to convince mothers to breastfeed, like there's something sick about it. I don't know if I can entirely justify this opinion, other than the fact that I'm a new father and see what a sensitive and difficult issue it is already.

I haven't seen the specific campaign you're referring to, but as someone who also recently became a father, there is definitely a lot of pro-breastfeeding information presented to you by health authorities and others that you encounter on the road to parenthood. I don't think it was too over the top though I'm sure it annoyed some people. My wife and I intended to breastfeed though for various reasons things didn't work out that way.

xp I saw that sign in spanish, which somehow made it seem even more effective/ridiculous as faux-revolutionary propaganda

hmm

the thing is like, i totally get it, and i don't disagree with it completely. but like, i LOVE a jumbo size. i grew up with it. a deli means jumbo size to me. sorry that's just the way it is.

well the goal is for the next generation to not grow up thinking deli means 800 calories of sugar water

i would also get those huge "italian subs" on the reg so u can't go by me

but tbh i would get the jumbo half n half, not soda. altho i'm sure that's illegal now too

itt a strange man asks if you saw the ass on that one

Later in the evening, the host interrupted me to point out that the mayor himself had just arrived. Did I want to meet him? Sure. My friend and I followed the host over, shook Bloomberg’s hand, and my friend thanked him for his position on gun control. Without even acknowledging the comment, Bloomberg gestured toward a woman in a very tight floor-length gown standing nearby and said, “Look at the ass on her.”

"If you look at how menus have changed, whether it be in fast food or family dining, you are seeing more and more healthy options," Cashion says. "Not because of legislative mandates or regulatory mandates, but because of consumer demand. Our industry has always been one to respond to the marketplace."

BLOOMBERG: YOUR IDEA STINKS!

I live in a tiny NYC apartment with no room for even a garbage can. I am a senior citizen, and can hardly make it to my garbage room, no less get out of bed with my tired joints.

Now you want me to recycle my scraps of food?

How dare you impose your idea on the sick, dying, and elderly.

ARE YOU GOING TO FINE THOSE WHO ARE TOO OLD SND FEEBLE TO SORT EVEN MORE OF THEIR GARBAGE WHEN THEY HARDLY CAN REMEMBER TO TAKE THEIR MEDS!

SHAME ON YOU BLOOMBERG!

Bloomberg is not actually trying to defend the constitutionality of his NYPD’s tactics, because it’s clear that he doesn’t actually care about constitutional policing. He’d have fired Ray Kelly after the RNC if he did. His point is to argue that it’s not racial profiling, because blacks really do commit more crimes, and that racial profiling is necessary, because blacks commit more crimes. See, “it’s not racial profiling” is the thing you say to make white liberals more comfortable with your actual pitch, which is, “we all know racial profiling works.”
