One of the biggest things the christofascist crowd insists on is that the mere existence of LGBTQ+ people is pornographic. It's the whole central tenet of Moms For Liberty's nationwide book banning push.

Which is why the christofascists are instead pressuring payment processors to try and restrict smut peddlers and sex workers by pushing them outside of the ability to function in the modern economy.

There's a reason the famous Nazi bookburning pictures are of the results of a Nazi-affiliated student union breaking into and looting the research library of the Institute of Sexology. Fascism cannot tolerate nonconformity and obsesses over 'purity'.

"Nobody ever died from it being too warm outside" is one hell of a take, and I the school district's lawyers no doubt felt a disturbance in the Force.

And yet the winner, by a landslide, in nearly every Presidential election in the last century is 'didn't vote'. Being marginally better than the worst scum of the conservative pundit class is a bar so low Satan stubbed his toe on it. People are disengaged because nobody has any good to offer them.

Yep. The party as a whole cynically fundraised on reproductive rights for almost half a century without ever using any of several supermajorities to make them law. I'm going to end up pulling the lever for the dem candidate for President, but only because voting is an act of civil responsibility.

Unfortunately the kind of broken stairs who end up having whisper networks around their behavior are often also extremely adept at manipulating those structures to attack their perceived enemies.

This is insanely important. The few times I've seen it go well have been the objective cases, like 'this account holder who is very open about their real life identity shot someone'. It is easy to fake this stuff, and some groups love it if it lets them take a swing at their posting enemies.

UBI saves boatloads of public money. That should motivate certain types of people. But it’s also kind. Which fills those same people with a straight up berserker rage.

A serious attempt by legislators or a candidate to invalidate a plainly valid election to install someone who plainly lost the election as president is not a "legal hack" or "finalizing results". It is treason. It is a treason against the United States and its citizens. We shouldn't dance around it.

It's also both bullshit and more expensive. Unless your AC is vastly undersized and it's humid enough the condenser is freezing up, it takes way more energy to cool and dry a space repeatedly from ambient temp/humidity than to maintain it at a reasonable temp.

Still on my bullshit, trying a few different methods. Nothing like good yet, but considering it's 50 cent flour sac towels, not bad either. The shirt, of course, is what I was actually dyeing, the rest were just for fun since I had the tools out.

I personally believe that it's all rooted in a deep seated insecurity, which also drives their belief any any equity in treatment must be an assault on their own privilege. A view which is heavily cultivated by the grifters that prey on them.

Same reason you see the same dudes, and the influencers that create them like Jordan Peterson, pining for patriarchal worldviews where women are considered property of the men in their lives.

It would require them finding patients willing to pursue it claiming harm caused to them by the federal approval of a medical procedure they sought out with informed consent. A lot harder to come by than a bunch of ideology-motivated quacks.

Now I'm interested if someone could sue to have him disqualified on those grounds, just to see him have to admit in a court of law that he didn't win the 2020 election.

Which I might be able to see as justifiable if it was feeding someone, but over half of our fucking corn crop goes to ethanol fuel production, and most of the rest is livestock feed or manufacturing use.

I've lived my life in corn country, and we're now at a point where the fertilizer runoff due to phosphorous and nitrogen contamination is making filtering drinking water harder and causing a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico downstream due to provoking algae blooms that deoxygenate the water.

Kinda darkly amusing to me because it's 100% in line with Bethesda's take on the setting, which is that it must never, ever change. Boston 200+ years after FO1? Still has bodies and pre-war food lying around like it was nuked yesterday, amd everybody's half-naked in tin shacks like it's a desert.

I'm 100% sure the secret service agent with the nuclear football had instructions to throw it and himself in the sea if Trump even looked at him. Morbidly, I think it'd be interesting to see if the Joint Chiefs would have told him to pound sand if he tried to order a strike.
