Fascists weaponize hypocrisy to get what they want: power. Is anyone surprised anymore?

No court in the country would uphold Stand Your Ground used against a law enforcement officer of any kind, no matter what.

"Yeah but what if--"

"Except ICE doesn't--"

"The person in the house doesn't know--"

No Matter What

I mean, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. I can believe the science AND ALSO engage in behaviors it says are unhealthy for me.

It was 14 sheckles, but they had to divide them between the eight of them.

You've successfully and correctly identified the problem with using the "left-right sliding scale" to describe America as being that there is no left.

You don't even understand enough to get why the comparison is relevant.

People said LITERALLY the same thing about ADHD. You're straight up mistaken in your thinking, and you need people like me to tell you that because you refuse to learn about the things your criticizing on your own.

But you're probably just going to accuse me of bias and ignore me. That's what all the other science deniers do, too.

Being pro vaccine doesn't excuse you for using anti-science and prejudice to attack other medications.

Maybe you should learn more

I don't care

That's what I'm talking about. You're attacking a medication without understanding it and have an active desire to not understand it. You've made up your mind, in ignorance, and are using your prejudice to justify advocating against that thing you refuse to understand.

I see this exact attitude with all sorts of science deniers from Flat Earthers to racists. It makes the world a worse place. Stop it.

Came here to make this point.

You can be sure that when a person like DeSantis says "death to pediohiles" they're thinking of trans people, not Trump.

I hope so. My next car was going to be a Toyota or a Honda, and... well......

The thing is that, afaik, coincidentally gerrymandering by race isn't sufficient to get the map thrown out. It has to be intentionally gerrymandered by race, with evidence to support such an assertion.

And the incredible thing is that Republicans can't keep their damned racist mouths shut, and they keep incriminating themselves by either saying the quiet part out loud or getting so specific with their gerrymandering that it's no longer plausible that it's just a coincidence.

They'd get away with it if they were smarter (but then, if they were smarter they wouldn't be racists)

Something something land war in Asia.

The CCP is a lot of things, but they ain't dumb.

 

Random question:

I play ukulele, and I've picked up a tenor guitar; is there a stringing or tuning I can use to make it playable as a ukulele?

I'm specifically looking for solutions that don't require using a capo.
