More than 1.4% of the US population (5 million people) protested on the same day nationwide a few days ago. It's not nothing. It gives me some hope. I'm a non-passing trans woman and am well aware of the coming danger.

But the cabinets are too low to fit appliances under them.

Yes!

My favorite debunking is an old YouTube video called "moon hoax not" where a filmmaker explains that the due to technology limits of the time, faking the multi-hour live broadcasts in slow-motion, which millions of people were watching, would be impossible without there being telltale signs of it being spliced film (the splicing, film grain, etc.). Since slow-mo video (distinct from film; TV broadcasts were video) at the time could not play back more than a few seconds of footage, at most, it would have to be high-speed film played back at normal speed. Assuming you could find or make a high-speed camera fit to task. While the first landing had awful video quality, later missions had much higher quality and the film fakery would be impossible to completely hide. People these days massively overestimate the video (and film) technology that was available in 1969. (IIRC. It's been years since I've last rewatched it.)

Edit: TL;DR: Perfectly faking the multi-hour uninterrupted video broadcasts (i.e., either inventing slow-motion video that can last hours, or perfectly passing off a multi-hour film as video) in slow-motion would have been significantly more difficult than sending humans to the moon with 1969 technology.

Well, thank you, I learned something today! Damn you, English! shakes fist (the language, not the Amish term for non-Amish people)

Plenty of Americans find those things "weird". Myself, for instance.

It's hard to effect affect effect (why, English, why 😭) change with just the two corrupt parties, with one being center-right and the other being far-right, and a voting system that keeps it that way. At least ranked-choice voting for some elections (reducing the pressure maintaining the two-party system) is up for a vote in my state soon.

Edit: affect (v.)/effect (n.)

IIRC, they didn't raise it because of the crashes. It's a privately owned rail line and they don't care about that because the bridge itself wasn't being damaged. It needed to be renovated anyway so they raised it to be level with the nearby at-grade crossing while they were at it.

Is that Yellow Bird Habanero hot sauce? Good stuff. Know any good replacements for Huy Fong chili garlic?
