No, Jaqweem.

My partner and I, both staunchly pro-choice, had a long talk about how we define ‘life’ and stuff like that after watching one of Shapiro’s videos. Even when you don’t agree with him (and I do NOT agree with him on this, and a lot of other things), he’s a good one to watch, because he puts forth better arguments than…

My partner here in Australia has been on the waiting list for endoscopy and laparoscopy / hysteroscopy procedures for months now - because she doesn’t want to pay. She can get these procedures done, but it will cost her a couple grand to go the private pay option.

USA has excellent healthcare, but it costs more than anywhere else. Not all healthcare procedures are the same, and the USA isn’t the best provider of all forms of healthcare.

How about Tulsi Gabbard? A young, female, non,white, non-Christian (Hindu), Iraq veteran, pro-LGBT, pro-weed legalization, pro-public healthcare, anti-war Democratic congresswoman with bipartisan experience who announced (informally) her candidacy several days ago. No love from the left-leaning media. I read about it…

I’ve lived in Australia for almost 3 years now. It does have nice beaches, affordable / sometimes free healthcare, etc. It also has an outrageously racist / privileged white majority (who still haven’t really been seriously challenged on it because the minorities are too small in numbers / fragmented), a vast police /…

Bingo.

“Hating on sex work” vs. “expressing a lack of sympathy for inconvenienced selfie-mongers because they had to move their pics to a different website” are two very different things. There are examples of both here, but more of the latter and less of the former.

I’m really not crying myself to sleep over the news some people have to find a different site to post their naked webcam selfies if they want to keep getting free money from anonymous incels.

I think carrying two forms of ID is a wise move if you’re trying to cash a large-ish check at a grocery store bank at which you don’t have an account. There is a LOT of fake ID stuff going on, as well as fake checks. I’ve encountered numerous examples of both, as well as counterfeit $20 and $100 bills, in my everyday…

Well, enjoy Trump 2020 as a side dish for that “typical Berniebro” snobbery that served so well in 2016.

So, 4 more years of President Trump, then. Repeat failed strategy. Got it.

What is the recommended congressional headwear for congregants of The Satanic Temple?

Doing planks on hard ground too much results in a) firmer abs and b) numbness and tingling in the ring / pinkie fingers due to cubital tunnel syndrome. If I do planks now, I do them on a padded surface... but really try to do other ab workouts instead. It’s part of getting old, I guess.

Back in my day we couldn’t chop wood. There were no tools. We shambled hoping we didn’t get the shits from the random berries we ate a bit earlier. Every now and then one of us would be viciously mauled and eaten alive by a smilodon. You didn’t post selfies on Snapchat or have fun chopping wood. You just scrounged,…

“We give you a mission you’ll do it”

Authoritarianism has been on the rise, across a great number of nations. Whether it’s a growing police / surveillance state, militarization of local law enforcement, eroding privacy, increasing prison population & growth of prison-industrial complex, or the decay of our system of governmental checks and balances, it’s…

Your point was not to assume things? Okay. Point taken.

You can drive 5-10 minutes away from any major city downtown in FL and reach a neighborhood where there are confederate flags waving. There is a legitimately large far-right presence in FL. For every college professor or immigrant family there’s a wife-beater wearing redneck who lives in a trailer home.

You could go out on that limb, but you’d be getting farther away from the trunk of the ‘legitimate issues to discuss’ tree. Arguing semantics and going with the identity politics worked out so well for progressives in 2014 and 2016... why not keep it up?
