Nope, they really don’t. You may have to engineer a cooling station.

Oooh, I think I can explain this. Conservatism demands adherence to a an extremely homogeneous model of living. They’ve constructed this giant house of cards that relies on it. Accepting deviations from these norms calls into question a variety of foundational conservative beliefs. They effectively can’t question the status quo else everything falls apart.

The only option for them is to make LGBTQ people an unacceptable, dangerous other. Because if queer folk are normal people who just want to be allowed to exist, if there is no sweeping gay agenda, if maybe they read their holy book wrong … they’ve been behaving like assholes, for decades, for no good reason.

Their core identities would take an unacceptably heavy blow, so they have no choice but to double down. Well, that’s the case for the ones that care about internal consistency.

Some of them just want an excuse to be cruel to a group too small to fight back.

Oh yes, it was just that because Britain has treated its colonies so well throughout history. /S

Depending on your perspective of time, none of them did. All of them happened and are as much a part of reality as any other moment. We may have moved past those moments, but that’s only an artifact of our relative position in the timeline.

Well. The Hawaiian Islands were all once on Hot Spots but I don’t think Zucc is in the big island.

An empty, pointless sentiment. Useless even if true and I have no time for useless sentiments. I’m too busy fixing stuff and doing things.

Then we’re doomed because a 3rd party without voting reform would only accelerate Republican wins. And voting reform to break first past the post is unlikely at a national level.

Seems like the winning strategy here would be to find or make wedge issues to fracture the Right.

Yes, it has nothing to do with their inability to follow other instances’ rules and constant need to “dunk” on “shit libs” mostly by posting the same image of a pig pooping on itself. /S

Such discourse. Much Praxis. So brave.

Yep, got one. They’re lovely and read in one second and are extremely accurate, but a simple 4 or 5 second reader will do the job just fine for most applications. Those can be had for around 25 USD.

Kitchen scale. Baking is much better with weight measurements instead of volume. Also useful for calculating calories.

Headlamp. Having light where you don’t need to hold a phone or a flashlight is great.

Digital meat thermometer. No more guessing.

USB charging hub. Charge many devices at once.

We always said Santa was a fun make believe activity, but then our house has a lot of fantasy media so what’s one more myth?

Yes! Compatibility is a spectrum. GGG is so important. Dan Savage has some good advice on that topic.

Why do you enjoy the show? Are you a fan of science fiction? Is your sense of humor rather dark and nihilistic? Does the way the show finds humor in sci fi concepts interest you? Is it about the social and mental health commentary?

Or do you just enjoy potty humor?

Understanding what you like about something is more useful data for a potential partner than even necessarily what you like.

It can also impact which partners will feel safe and comfortable around you.

And yet, that you’d say this to a perfect stranger asking for help says rather a lot about you. Funny how that works.

Why? Palestinians aren’t synonymous with Hamas.

The crazy thing here is that she wasn’t even traveling to Dubai. It was a layover! And all she wanted was help putting on some sort of medical device they made her remove. The whole thing was basically an extortion scheme.
