You can’t tell me what to do!

Apparently for some, this is where right-wing political philosophy starts and ends. Everything else seems to be retrofit around this principle, regardless of its rationality. Even if the party in question is giving you sound advice, like not to drink raw milk, and is doing nothing to prevent you from doing so if you please.

“Please, I can’t afford food or housing”

Media outlets:

Economy doing great!!! Inflation down and stocks up!!!

“Okay, I guess I’ll just fucking die then”

If he’s okay with genocide over there then he’s okay with it here

That is a gigantic jump but go off

This only makes sense if the people who think like you reach a critical mass, which they have not and very likely never will.

The choice is:

• Support candidate that is tacitly okay with genocide
• Support candidate that is enthusiastic about genocide and stripping away LGBTQ rights
• Say nothing and let the second candidate operate unimpeded by your opposition in key states

I mean… come on, let’s be reasonable.

It’s more like

Republicans are willing to bend the rules and cheat to get what they want

Democrats are cucks to the system that they think is perfect

Honestly, fuck both of them. There are no good candidates this election.

That just tells me that she is a psychopath who is only held back from killing humans by the fact that God might punish her for it. As an atheist, I don’t kill humans because I don’t want to. It would be extremely emotionally scarring for me. Apparently for her, it’s just a matter of “God would hurt me if I did”.

It also encompasses any support from medical professionals to do extremely simple shit like wear different clothes or change your hair. Also accessing gender-affirming support groups, therapy, changing your name and pronouns, or non-permanent hormone treatments.

This new law doesn’t ban all of those things, but it does go pretty far to limit what can be done and has a chilling effect on other forms of trans-related healthcare.

For instance, even if a kid wants to use a nickname that doesn’t match their sex assigned at birth, it has to be reported to their parents. Stuff like that is clearly just designed to make sure kids aren’t allowed to express that they’re trans if their parents don’t approve.

Almost 40% of South Dakotans have not critically evaluated Noem

FTFY. I refuse to believe that 40% of anyone would see what she did as justified. The only reason you would is if you want to kill dogs yourself, you don’t know what really happened, or you don’t understand why it’s bad and are giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Well they certainly have compassion, cooperation, a sense of fairness, social norms, etc. Whether that makes ethics is a matter of semantics, I think.

YOu don’t find gay animals in nature!!! Gayness is unnatural and therefore unethical!!!

Peacock: “Actually you do, here are some gay animals”

Well… some animals also eat their own young!!! Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s ethical!!!

Fucking hilarious.

Authoritarian strongman makes veiled threat against political opponent, followers feign ignorance

In other news, the sky is still blue

I agree that book bans are symbolically a big issue, but I also think it’s hilarious that the conservative idea of shielding children from “dangerous” information is to take the books out of school libraries, as if anyone uses them to get LGBTQ-related information. When I was in school, the library was just a place where you would study, with most of the books being related to the curriculum. Basically no one went there to read about complex, modern, fast-moving topics like queerness. Kids these days all know how to look shit up online, and most school libraries have a computer lab with fairly permissive internet access. Most kids will use that to research any “forbidden” information that conservatives would find offensive.

Based on that, it really seems like book bans aren’t mean to solve and practical issues for conservatives at all, and are moreso meant as vehicles to broadcast and systemically solidify the exclusion of ideas and people they don’t personally like. Like a child shouting “you can’t play here anymore!” on a playground to someone they don’t like, only for the excluded party to go right back to what they were doing uninterrupted.

If any of these become a reality I am fully prepared and willing to commit acts of-

Fun setting, concept, and animation, but the overall writing quality is extremely poor. Significantly worse than the pilot, especially when it comes to the exposition.

Oh, I’m illiterate whoops

I don’t think she didn’t trust him, I think she wasn’t programmed to care about him and only saw him as a tool instrumental to her escape. Since he could no longer help, she didn’t care what happened to him

I have a tiny whisk instead of a regular-size one, and I have convinced myself it is objectively superior in every way

They do exist, they just aren’t popular because an OS is basically useless without a preexisting userbase
