Are those Himalayan Blackberries? The really are everywhere. I hate them.

Nice bunny.

His parents, who still live in the US, support him.

i just realized I am logged into different instances on my phone and desktop.

The US and Israel commit daily 9/11s in Gaza/Lebanon/Yemen/Iran/etc.

I agree and find this upsetting as well.

You should be upset about 9/11, you should understand the motivations of those who perpetrated it, you should be upset about the root cause, and you should be disgusted that your country continues to level civilian buildings while casually celebrating it on group chat.

I understand the motivations. I am disgusted by US indiscriminate killing in foreign countries.

You should get over the idea that 9/11 was so uniquely evil, it's the one time the American empire felt a fraction of the evil it puts out into the world.

Never said 9/11 was unique. I said 9/11 sticks in my head because it was one of the few times "I was scared for my life." I was scared and could do nothing which is the desired effect of a terrorist act.

Would you have been this upset if Biden suggested the federal government is taking the responsibility to fund the memorial? Would you have opposed ensuring the long term maintenance of it and eliminating the risk of financial issues in the long term?

No

Have you heard their proposal, or you're rejecting it only because it's GOP? You know a lot of republicans live in NY and a lot of them died on 9/11, right? You know nearly 3.5 million New Yorkers voted for Trump, right?

I have not heard the proposal but based upon things that have happened during Trump's second term the proposal will not match reality. Also, I over-generalized NYC's hatred of Trump. I'm sure he did well in Staten Island.

If there's one thing the federal government knows how to fund and maintain, it's war propaganda monuments. Just look at DC, and look at how actual veterans are left to rot homeless and broke while the monuments to honor them are ludicrously grand and luxurious

Agree

I donated when I had more disposable income.

OMG! You work at Bat World Sanctuary. I followed them when I was on twitter after I saw a video of Statler (RIP). I have seen every video of Stalter.

Do you think this new?

I'm over 50 years old and 40 years ago lesbians and gays were considered weird by most. One of my best friend's older brother was gay when I was a teen. I remember casually mentioning it to my parents. My father got very serious and told me to be careful around him. I quickly shot back there was nothing to worry about. He had three crazy, straight brothers that loved him. Our friend group knew him and he had never been a problem.

Back then you were either cis or an outcast by many.

I considered myself straight until about 15 years ago. Then I started looking at transfem porn. I now know I'm non-binary.

After reading your edit I looked at the bill summary and yea, I don't care that it got killed. It only seems to help large collectors, not the person with one or two cars.

It would be nice if the 1975 smog exemption rule could roll each year.

I still have one of these but the hinge broke. It's small size caused issues when doing car stuff so I also have Klein. bought

If you swap the words gay and straight this is still correct.

Living in a large metro area I can throw nearly anything in the free section of Craigslist and someone will grab it. Old incandescent light bulbs, exterior door locks with matching keys, and a shower head i didn't like.

If it is metal and no one wants it I can take to a recycling place.

I read this on Sh.itJust.Works and am now commenting from piefed.social.

I haven't dug in much but really like it.
