Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum

Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Maybe radical, maybe not, I don't know. Instagram has a policy of no nudity, with some exceptions. A notable one is for breastfeeding, which has led to this weird category on Instagram of... I guess it's Breastfeeding Porn, I don't know what else to call it (?). It's bizarre because the videos being made are obviously meant to just show off naked boobs... but with young children in them. So, IMO, it's dipping its toes into exploitation, but because it's technically "breastfeeding" it's perfectly fine with Instagram. It's this weird situation where, showing your tits in a video by yourself is considered "offensive" or not safe for children... unless you film your tits out with a child in the video. Honestly, they should just allow all nudity via some sort of gatekeeping program or something that tries to keep kids from viewing it, but the breastfeeding exception has just created a weird porn sub-genre.

And I'm sure there's legitimate reasons why somebody would take a video of themselves breastfeeding, maybe for instructional purposes for other mothers or something, whatever, I'm sure that's a thing and I'm not knocking that. And I know breastfeeding creates a strong bond between mother and child, it's a normal, natural thing that happens, I get that, but these videos in particular don't seem to have any purpose that I can make out. These videos are just women staring at the camera, their tits hanging out and off to the side is some kid greedily suckling on one boob. If this is such a sacred relationship between mother and infant, shouldn't it be kept private? Sure, women can breastfeed in public because they literally have to feed their child.... but broadcasting it to the world doesn't seem like a necessary part of that.

More pizza is good in all three states than is not true, pineapple isn't special in this regard. Wood fired crust isn't good cold.
