  • Our principal had no sense of humor and would've either: sent you home, made you wear it inside out, or duct taped over the offening four letter words. God forbid you dye your hair or get a face piercing.

  • Its good for trans kids, but also we should be doing it just to normalize menstrual products. I remember being a young teen and driven to the grocery store so I could shuffle in, bent over double with pain to buy what I needed because my father didn't want to be seen touching the package. Seems a small price to destigmatize it.

  • What you are describing happens in primaries.

    If you vote in the general for an R, oddly enough, politicians think you support the R ticket. Way to kneecap progressives guy.

  • It feels like they all expected life to neatly fall into place, and when it didn't they latched on to any narrative that externalized the blame in a way that gave them permission to lash out. Can't get a girlfriend? Must be the epidemic of miserable crazy cat ladies. Can't get a promotion? Must be all the DEI policies. The hate i think they use to shore up their fragile self esteem.

  • I do think his base has grown with previously non-voting incel types. I have some young male relatives who paid no attention in 16 or 20 who are all in on maga now. The grievance shtick seems to really speak to them.

  • In college I took a 100-level western ancient literature course that examined the origins of the text and sources of the bible. Simple facts did fantastic work of dismantling the 'infallibility' of the work. Can't imagine a faster way to make a generation of atheists.

  • He also can't keep cool when it's somebody like a woman or minority 'challenging' him and his team knows this does not make him more palatable to independents.

    He'll hold off and try and hide behind attack ads for as long as possible. Hoping something sticks with the public that he can focus on.

  • I confess I generally turn media off when he starts talking, but I wanted to see how bad this was.

    And he sounds straight up panicked through the first part. I think he finally hears himself and forcibly tries to reign it in during the Massey answer.

  • I have never done a similar despicable thing once my shit landlord stopped performing maintenance on multiple building's units and they started eating money. Never hurts to look up the manual.

  • I had a job once with a coworker who had to go home everyday to make her fully able husband lunch or he wouldn't eat. She didn't like doing it and often apologized because it made her late. How the does acting like this give these guys an impression of 'strength'?

  • Walk me through the logistics. Because real Dems did vote for her in a real primary. Just because you didn't like the ballot at the time doesn't mean it didn't happen. How do you make a poll legitimate enough to over turn that outcome with enough time for the winner to campaign? Think about it. Take 30 seconds and visualize how you would do it. Outline it for me.

  • The article is BLM demanding a straight up new primary. Which is insanity. They say they want an informal virtual vote of the public. What the hell does that mean? Who gets to be considered a dem? How is that verified? -no possible way republicans could absolutely fuck with it, right?

    I think an open convention wouldn't be the worst thing. Who is going to run against her with 100 days left starting from scratch?

  • Wtf is a public 'virtual snap primary'? The Board of Elections is on the county level. Does BLM think you can pick up the phone and get 3k counties to... what? Make a surveymonkey? smh.

  • Hm. I'm not sure this map is accurate. NY has had shit voter laws for forever (closed primary, lengthy registration cut offs, no early voting, restricted absentee ballots, etc.), but with covid they made it temporarily less shit. Then voters asked for them to be more shit again (Idfk), and then the governor made the accessibility changes permanent anyways?

    TLDR: NY is a hot mess.

  • It's such a senseless aggression and as manly as kicking a dog. It's difficult to not put it in some sort of check—it took me a mile to realize I wasn't watching engine trouble, but some raging asshole toy with an EV and a complete stranger's safety for the fun of it. Who the fuck does that? What has to be broken in you to enjoy that shit? Agh. Just please be careful when you engage with the death cult, they aren't working with a full deck.

  • I'm in NY, we have annual inspections and imo anyone doing this shouldn't pass. The DMV has no fucks to give, let them see how far they get fighting them.

  • You should be ashamed of the terrible thing you did! (To that poor key.)
