There’s at least one on every land mass.

You’ve never worn gloves for anything but crimes? How do you clean? Fuck off with your ’nothing to hide’ bullshit. What’s the best boot seasoning?

If it helps; batteries are batteries and solar panels are solar panels.

Vote blue no matter who! Fix everything!

For fucks sake do you really need one?

Read it again. Does anything stand out?

Too many of us prefer what feels right to thinking.

But also his name looks the same in sans serif fonts and he is a parody guy. So there are ways he could get away with it.

I’m saying he could either get away with selling his soul and not damage his rep too much, or go down to that crossroads, pull out his accordian, and potentially be the last man standing (on another pile of money)

Feels a little edgy and radical for me.

they have RAM

Wait what?

Just breaking them off sounds cheaper, more comprehensive, and more in line with demands.

Trash bags feel too much like natural gas was for going green.

Just wear spectrum-matched eye protection, please.

I was traveling across the us without a car about a year ago. Long story. Was stranded, pulling a long night til the next bus instead of sleeping rough. Only place to get fluids nearby was a McDonalds.

It was painfully expensive, and genuinely felt like I was being fucked with and screwed over when I ordered. I just wanted a cup full of caffeinated sugar-water and someplace warm to sit. It sucked so fucking much. It was fucking unpleasant. Eventually I hydrated, pissed, and just left to wait outside for the last few hours.

I looked through food. I couldn’t justify paying those prices for that shit. It genuinely didn’t seem like food prices. I couldn’t. The next day I found a more reasonably priced 7/11.

Pretty sure psychiatrists are to medicine what MBA’s and economists are to universities.

Like there’s a real thing here to be studied and applied, but that’s not what you do, is it?

Bullshit. Modern star trek is fine I guess, but like, wasn’t the captain in ‘discovery’ ever so slightly faschy? There’s the ship that runs on doing mushrooms and an openly gay character. That’s like it. It’s not even the wokest star trek, what with the other one having the trans wormgirl and the sheriff who turns into a cloud for fun and the space-palestinian security officer and all the explicit antifascism while the semi-defecting fascist spy flirts with Dr. twink under the watchful eye of black space-jesus(n’awlins edition).

Compare it to actual woke fiction from the decade previous, three mediums:

Sense8(TV): the main character is just a trans woman, everything is a metaphor for ‘drugs are great, fuck the state’, and everything is queer. There’s a ‘detransition is murder’ arc. There’s a hive-mind-body-swapping orgy. Several, I think. Magical prison support is a major theme. Also prison breaks. Cops in your affinity group fucks everything up.

Pillars of eternity(video game): the druid is straight up an indigenous bisexual furry. If you’re too racist, he will seduce your wife, turn into a wolf, seduce your dog, and then steal your cart with all your beer on it on his way out. the paladin is transmasc-not-trans misotheist secret agent of kinda-revolutionary-kinda-dugallist france. he wizard is literally two spirit and a gay uptight British schoolboy/ancient appalachian party girl. The Americans worship the goddess of fire and conflict above all others and literally did the high fantasy Manhattan project to murder the god of forgiveness rebirth and being nice to each other when he popped into a dirt farmer and declared communism-jihad in canadappalachia. Everything is so Hegelian it hurts. There’s a joke ancap paladin subclass. The main plot is about the brutal violence of manifest destiny and its echoes through history, a stillbirth epidemic, and Americans all being howling fascists led by a shadow government of CIA telepaths. Doctor/scientists actually trying to solve the problem, who might even have a shot, are regularly lynched basically for being nerds.

I won’t even start on recent books, partially because I don’t look at publication dates for those, and partially because nobody else has ever read one. But let’s just say the nearest non-star-trek-branded equivalent to ‘star trek’ in literature (not a consideration in other media, went for ‘within a decade) is the ‘culture’ series, which is falGsc(explicitly anarchist) where literally everyone is trans and drugs are a thing you get from your drug glands that grow in during puberty. Authority always turns out badly.

How democracy dies.

But maybe the voters wanted a spectrum, or specific varieties to be determined by local need/availability?

That’s pretty sensible.

That’s so sad. Would you like some western trans neuroprogramming music?

I think we can put it in some Rachmaninoff or something to bridge the culture gap.

Yes but so does toxic masculinity. Free bottled water for transmascs, and it would still be a net savings.
