Its impressive on a few fronts. Suggesting he’s an ally to the lqbtqia+ community while dirting health care for a vulnerable population of that group. Managing to infantilize women while proposing a completely imagined threat.

There can’t be that many voters who want to go blue but are hung up needing to bathroom bills too are there?

trust the market. ram will trickle down to you, surely we just need to wait to be worthy. /s

She’s that generation of old anti nuke tankie leftists. She caters too much to the anti vax anti science crowd. She’s not evil, but I’m super tired of her existing with such a high profile and not making any material changes happen in the world. She completely gave up on being an elected official in Massachusetts, and if she cant win there, what is she doing? She’s not moving any balls forward, its just a proto-influencer on an endless press tour.

edit: but yeah, this is just a trumped up charge for press, and im pretty sure she’s pumped for the coverage

Empowering brendan car is pretty bad. Stopping wind solar projects also bad. Eroding public trust in the election system. Kidnapping a foreign leader. Trying to replace the UN, a thing we already control with a thing only trump controls. Tearing down part of the whitehouse with zero planning or permission to fix it. Running a crypto bribery grift. Telling people Tylenol and vaccines cause autism. Shitting his pants and sleeping in public meetings. Accepting a 400 million dollar plane he’s going to gift his personal charity when he’s out of office.

I can’t pick one. The dude sucks. I eagerly await his obituary or prison sentence.

my spoon is TOO BIG

I think you’re really close to internalizing the problem, but you’re not quiet there yet (imho).

Today, every political problem is presented to you as a boolean, two options, left and right. That is how they manufacture consent. Don’t let you acknowledge the grey in the argument, one policy choice or the other. Zero sum. No room for policy discussion. Pick a team and root for their success, not discourse on how to deliver what everyone wants.

It’s presented to you like you have to choose between playing with your pews pews and lower taxes, or treating queers with respect and having free health care. And it’s not right and you shouldn’t put up with it.

So don’t. Don’t pick short hand. Don’t get married to a party. Celebrate that from time to time youre going to have to realign who you’re voting for to match whatever is the most important policy to you at the time.

In the same way you aren’t your kahkis or your job, you aren’t your party, and thats good.

A pint in the states is 16 oz. A pint in the uk/ireland is 20 oz. Google says a full stomach is 1.5 litres (67 oz) but can expand to double that when bing eating.

160oz of liquid sounds impossible. Even 128 sounds uncomfortable.

God speed. I guess no one said you had to keep it down.

You could just attack her for being a creep who groomed someone 20 years younger into a relationship?

It is bad. But its sooooo on fucking brand. If there isn’t some “respected body” to suggest what you did is bad, then you did nothing wrong. He doesn’t hate climate science past it stops him from doing what he wants. But if you can frame it in a way that motivates people against him (less fisheries means less sport fishing, less wild areas means less hunting, no snap benefits means more crime) you nip away at his base, and he doesnt have a ton of support. its marginal vs the voting public, even in midterms.

I’ve only had something like that happen once, and I suggested that I had some good resources from my wife and kid, and I could hook him up. He kind of awkwardly laughed it off and said he was good.

I still don’t know if he was trying to be use it as a punchline, or trying to share his condition. I certainly don’t want to push people away from sharing their struggles if they are using humor to deal with a hard topic. But yeah, using it as a punch line is pretty insensitive. I’ve said I was being OCD as a joke about being particular about a project, and I totally could have hurt someone’s feelings who actually struggles with a real condition, and that kind of sucks.

I dunno, seems like he still wants to discriminate against immigrants. Very ladder pulling boomer of him.

I’m in the states, but it’s the same here. Success and thriving is the autistic kid not being disruptive to their classmates. So for now, our kid is homeschooled. We’re lucky enough to not have to expose him to being overwhelmed 40 hours a week. Maybe he’ll try again in a few years, but for now, stay at home mom is killing it.

Theres an impedance mismatch in expectations, I’m expecting my owed publicly provided education, but they are providing* trauma inducing childcare.

That said, I get it. The school departments aren’t set up or funded for individualized education plans, if they were we’d be in a much better position. They are setup for take care of the fat part of the curve of students, and identify and neutralize disruptions. If classes were closer to a 1 to 5 ratio, if teachers were given more control, it could be different. If educators got more than a handful of 1 hour seminars on sped needs, pda, sensory issues, they would certainly handle it better.

I always wondered what the plague would do when he got out of prison.

Gotcha, thank you. So every night theres around 800mil of these and it spiked 25x. Theories why? Banks need liquidity, why don’t they have the cash on hand? unreported losses? over leveraged?

what the context here? its a graph with no real explanation of the source of the funds or the destination. im not saying its bad content, i’m just confused.

Inflation is 88 percent since y2k. Excited for a 50k a year job out of college in the year 2000? That’s 90k now. 7.25 minimum wage from 2000? Should be at least 13 now. It isn’t, should be.

People are alway “oh, money doesn’t go as far as it used to”, but they don’t get how dramatic it is.

I don’t think theres any amount of scientific study thats going to change the loud minority of people who are anti transitioning. They would look at this study and see that the brainwashing is complete, and “they” could do it to anyone, and the people studied aren’t to be trusted.

The only evidence I need to support the medical consensus is to see that suicidal ideation rates are lower in people who transition that have gender dysphoria, and the handful of sad boys I knew who are now happy girls post transition.

Agree’d but also what tv shows have armies of accountants able to saddle different products with different costs? Probably some, but I wonder how much andors cost is shifted or tangental for tax reasons.

Did all “nazis” actively do crimes against humanity? Whats the bar they have to hit to be a nazi? Put on a uniform? shoot a roma? say non-aryans are sub human? You want to draw a bright line between national socialists and racists, I’m not going to stop you, but I think nazi is just short hand for bootlicking people who enable the dehumanizing of others at this point in time.

What word would you prefer?
