Title game on point

Isn't your "phone call" a Hollywood trope? It's not like you get to gamble on the highest stakes call of your life (oops, line's busy or you misdialed or whatever), but you only get one chance like it's some legal gotcha the cops can pull on a suspect.
If you actually believe what the worm brain is saying, I've got a bridge to sell you.
That has to be the most charitable interpretation possible of the incoming fascist government's intent. It's literally just slave labour with extra steps.
Well, golly gee, he "let" his independent, grown-ass adult offspring vote for the candidate of their own choosing. I can't imagine why they'd spurn him after such selfless and generous act.
This. It's a wilfully deceptive statistical misinterpretation implying that a woman working alongside a man in the same job is magically making 20-something percent less. If businesses could get away with saving 20-30% on their biggest ongoing expense (payroll) for employees in one half of the population, they would only ever hire people from that half.
When controlled for field, role, seniority, region, etc., the disparity is within a margin of error.
This is what I've been saying. The kind of people who are trying to get away from fascism are exactly the kind of people we want.
Covid ~~really did~~ is still doing a number on them.
"Mild" COVID causes as much as a 3-point IQ loss and mental health disorders.
I'm not saying it's the cause of everything — lax parenting, lack of firm authority figures, and digital attention monopolization are huge factors — but constantly exposing them to a mass-crippling virus sure doesn't fuckin' help.

It reads exactly the same. Huh.
I've been saying this for a while. Not only that, but electric cars are substantially heavier than their ICE-powered equivalents, meaning both tires and roads wear out more quickly. Plus, there's a ton of pollution and other environmental damage caused by battery production that at least partly offsets the lack of tailpipe emissions.
As loathe as I am to admit, because I'm a car enthusiast and I enjoy driving, cars cannot be the default mode of transportation everywhere indefinitely; they will always need to exist, but should mostly be for small centres with no capacity to implement transit infrastructure and last mile type of things.
