The federal deficit is all money that taxpayers didn’t “give” the government. Money printer go brrrrrrrr. This debt will never be “paid off.”

For context, I’m a cis woman who works in abortion care: I watch EVERYTHING through that lens, intentional or not.

Only in the hellscape that is the United States as brought to you by the ghouls at the Federalist Society would we be having legitimate court battles on whether or not states can prevent doctors from performing abortions when lives are at risk. The judge in Texas who wrote about “the welfare of unborn children” must…

It doesn’t seem like it to me but regardless, anyone watching GoT content at this stage knows full well what they’re getting and shouldn’t feign outrage over an apple being an apple instead of the orange they prefer. 

Sucks when your successful stock portfolio tanks at age 23, I guess.

That comment is two years old. The COVID-19 pandemic caused me to lose my job and stocks in early 2021. I was forced to return to university studies. I was affluent but now I’m a regular person again. It is a major lifestyle downgrade.

“I am a young female American graduate student from the state of Iowa.”

Personally I think the books rather than the show is more feminist than a lot of feminists want to admitt. It shows rather than tells how awful living in a super patriarchal society could be. Unfortunetly so many neck beard think yeah I would love to live in the GoT world, even though most of them wouldn’t be lords. 

You clearly do care though. You could have put that money in a savings account and waited, while simultaneously earning interest on that savings 

I totally agree with you. I continue to see this framed as him choosing the baby over his wife, and I donʻt understand why thatʻs the take. Itʻs just plain not what happened. Iʻm not squeamish and I fortunately had a really great induction/birth experience, but I found the scene very disturbing as I think most did. The…

But when the delivery is afflicted with complications and Viserys must choose between saving Aemma’s life or the male baby’s, he chooses his son, ordering nurses to restrain his wife as they cut her open to “save” the baby that will die the next day.

Her blaming him for the method those papers were delivered seems like a petty PR move to gain sympathy from those who have no idea how this process works. He didn’t choose when or how. She must know this and therefore must be lying. It makes me think she’s a much better filmmaker than person.

Sure you do. 

I find it hard to believe there are still lines to get vaccinated anywhere in the US. I’m pretty sure Crystal Jewell. 25 year old grad student is full of crap. 

That’s how compromise works, though. Some people are disappointed. Some people are helped out a lot. Nobody gets everything of what they wanted.

This fake user account and your fake story are not helping anything.

Descriptive user handle? Patently untrue claims about vax waits?

This troll is full of shit:

What long lines? That sounds bogus. 

Game of Thrones was never intended to be an idyllic fantasy of utopia. It’s tethers to real world humanity (medieval Europe’s political structures specifically) and all the dirty issues that entails are what sets it apart from more standard fantasy fare like Lord of the Rings. This is perhaps the single greatest…
