erhoslab is still around, last i checked. nice guy, nice voice, no screaming.

the first doesn’t negate the second, it describes it. it is a ban which is anti-trans or transphobic. this is not a double negative!

also, this is why ciswomen will sometimes use the men’s restroom. long line, desperation, potentially exacerbated by the fact that birthing children sometimes makes it harder to wait afterward.

side note - i almost never clock anyone as trans. i figure most people don’t, or don’t correctly (i have heard of people challenging butch ciswomen). how would most folks even know?! just mind your business and do your business, and let others do the same.

then look at it this way - which of them is more likely to act on a stupid impulse, and is surrounded by incompetent, lying yes-men?

i’m hearing this about our state DFPS - as far as i know, you now only need to be 18 and you need to have graduated high school. then you get to destroy families.

dafuq kinda nonsense is this? lesse, a president who supports wiping out Palestinians is better for Palestinians because then they get more aid?

???

i believe you can do this if you choose and when you’re ready. i won’t lie - it’s not easy, but you may decide if is easier than staying. the dv hotline can direct you to local services, including housing. be careful if you begin to explore your options; he may escalate.

(800) 799-7233. if you can safely search, they also have text and chat contact online.

… so let’s just speedrun it?

years ago, i lived in a community where someone had spray-painted the dumpster. it said something like “tear it all down and start over.” i endorsed that at the time.

now i am way too invested in way too many people to see it go down like that.

let’s just embrace the greater evil/demonstrable threat now then, shall we?

seems like i read something to the effect that DiCaprio made a lot of suggestions to give depth to his character, and that the movie as initially written really was more just-the-gimmick. i hated Tenet; i imagine Inception without likable (edit - or at least interesting) characters would have felt more like that.

or like… don’t be an asshole who gets in people’s faces.

i find myself using “friend” a lot lately. dunno if that’s a great replacement.

i like the idea of voting by encrypted app as an option, but lots of disenfranchised/disempowered folks can’t rely on that. by which i mean there are homeless folks without phones, and people with abusive families who lack privacy/safety to really utilize it the way we night intend.

personally, i would like to know why more kids are needed exactly?

what do you care? i thought you were ready for everyone to die.

i feel like i tend to have a decently high level ability to understand and empathize with people, but i just can’t summon it for that man.

i’m sorry he was abused, but at some point, a person can just be a worthless pos.

i don’t expect you to sacrifice yourself. i just think it’s likely you’re not the sole “good people” in bama.

take peace in knowing that i gave him a good life, and i got to share it beginning to end. it’s nice to know i could do that for him.

i was looking for rx sunglasses before posting. single greatest gamechanger in the last 15 years of my life.

at this point, i’m not sure where to buy most things and not get garbage. every online platform is trying to emulate amazon and become a “marketplace” filled with unvetted cheap shit; stores often have little stock and no one with expertise.

i need a lamp for my office. where do i buy something i can ensure is safe and well made? i have no idea.

i realize this is a small concern relative to the larger failures of capitalism, but free market competition isn’t even successful at providing basic goods and services.
