The battle cry of conservatives everywhere: It's too hard!

Except if it involves oppressing minorities and women. Then it's a moral imperative worth all the time and money you can shovel at it regardless of whether the desired outcome is realistic or not.

Republicans didn't do "nothing" after Sandy Hook, they did the most republican thing they could do: advocate for arming school children and staff.

So THAT'S why Virginia is for lovers!

Midlife Crisis

Jolly Green Giant must be kaiju also.

Sprout is a baby kaiju.

We don't need birth caps or forced sterilization or any of that. We need comprehensive sexual health education and universal access to all birth control methods including abortion. Imagine a society where the only babies born were ones that were planned for and wanted.

As for the pet thing... I'd love to see legislation that prevented breeding for profit.

So they can sell you custom eyes like cats and aliens and shit.

Strange Days

May as well be discussing the hypothetical offspring of Santa and the Easter Bunny.

Used in VR, it offers some great immersion learning without any pressure.

He so very badly wants to use a nuclear weapon.

Carrying a weapon on you at all times screams *frightened coward" to me.

Chicken... want more

Burgers galore

Gimme more... Gimme more... Gimme more (now)

One - French fries all for me

Two - French fries all for me

Three - French fries all for me

Four - French fries all for me

One - Belt loops gonna rip

Two - Pants can't keep it in

Three - Waistline's gettin' big

Now!

I find this difficult to believe since I assume their dogma would be that a Palestinian organ in an Israeli body would be immediate disqualification for heaven. If tattoos are considered self-mutilation, a Hamas heart must be worse.

I figured it was because of our fucked up "if there's time to lean, there's time to clean" mentality.

Think of it this way:
You are on a sinking cruise ship with the rest of the country and are headed to one of two islands. Sadly, these are the only islands available, and you're going to land on one no matter what. Both of them are toxic wastelands, but one island is attempting to clean up (though, slowly and poorly) while the other island is fully leaning into the toxicity because the people controlling the island are safe in their bunkers. Everyone on the ship has an oar good for one stroke.

Do you give up and throw your oar in the water leaving everyone else to decide your fate? Do you use your oar to paddle toward the island you want and call it good enough? Do you try to get more people to paddle your direction?

We're all along for the ride regardless of how we feel about it and the options for destinations, at least we can try to influence the direction we're going.

Oh? I assumed the word "halo" was banned due to its association with the church and their link to pedophilia.

Thank you! Finally getting the respect U-people deserve instead of the derogatory term many use that labels us all as not-quite-human cannibals.

Same

Isn't that kinda the point of it?
