  • I mean the "justification" used by the Christians who vote for this kind of thing is that it would be under for the government to take money from people to help others, and it's up to each individual with money to give freely to support the poor, or whatever.

    That's what they say out loud, anyway. So they can blame atheists for not giving freely. Never mind that they tend to give less, but

  • Nonsense. I'm sure someone with a home and a job will be allowed to take a carnap on the quad of their public university. It's only illegal to do it when you have to.

  • Wikipedia states:

    Kmart, formerly legally registered as Kmart Corporation, now operated by Transformco, is an online retailer in the United States and operates six remaining Kmart big-box department stores — 3 in the US Virgin Islands and one each in Kendale Lakes, Florida (Miami postal address); Bridgehampton, Long Island; and Tamuning, Guam.

    But also

    On January 22, 2002, Kmart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection under the leadership of its then-chairman Charles Conaway and president Mark Schwartz.

    So they've been a subsidiary to several other companies since then.

  • You engage with the skip button

  • When is interrupting my viewing experience to show me an ad ever actually relevant?

  • Fuck, these days even in shows that are edited for commercials, they'll ignore those breaks and just put ads wherever they feel like it

  • The bearings combined with the wrenches made me think, like, roboticist. So maybe they make fishing robots that double as sexbots?

  • No one was ever naturally inclined to fear or hate LGBTQ+ people. It's nurture all the way down.

  • There's no way that doesn't get struck down though, right?

  • The small school I taught at said the pledge every day, but the principal did regularly announce to everyone present that they don't have to say it (but they did have to be there for it)

  • There's just a lot of anti trans stereotypes in media that I tolerated before. It's a lot harder to turn a blind eye to it when people use the same misunderstandings to try and tell me I'm sick and confused and bad for just being myself these days

  • There are so many examples of anti trans sentiment in older comedy. Just about all of them hinging on the "you can always tell" myth and/or highlighting how obviously wrong and confused the poor trans people must be. For someone whose only exposure to trans people was that for a long time, I can't begin to say how damaging and limiting that was.

  • That was actually the argument made by the official in question. Called it a "consulting fee".

  • On top of that, shop for best price? During the one month of open enrollment where it's allowed? What if the providers all leave the network halfway through the year, as regularly happens? They have literally made it impossible to shop around for the best price.

  • It is so fucking bullshit in every way. I cannot comprehend why someone would have a problem with single-payer, which is so much better by comparison than what we have to do now.

    The only thing I can think is "but I might wind up with slightly less coverage than my work currently provides," which is also practically impossible for all but the very upper crust...

  • I dunno, if I have to process my own e pills, I'm gonna mess something up. Maybe if it comes with a cute live-in pharmacist or something

  • I second this question. How am I even supposed to clean it?
