I mean, that’s kind of my point? They keep making these 12 weeks designations around the detection of a heartbeat, right? And then talking about viability, and there’s this massive disconnect that they don’t even mention (because it would ruin their arguments). It’s in their best interest not to get into details like…

This approach to art is fundamentally lazy

Effectively? Yes. You’re not supposed to question, object, or critique. Go back to mindless consumption of product. It’s the American Way (TM)!

I’m confused by the term “fetal viability”, and why the detection of a heartbeat indicates said viability. If you were to remove the fetus from the womb at 12 weeks without killing it, it would die within minutes (or seconds) regardless of what you hooked it up to. Yet republicans base their restrictive laws on this…

Ah, but it’s only women who are supposed to refrain.

It’s even more insane when you consider that republicans think him and his wife were “brave” for their display, rather than a couple of scaredy-cats who immediately went for their guns because some people were walking past their house.

It doesn’t matter whether it happened or not, because a single case is not representative of the whole. It’s just one instance, and most likely an outlier, at that.

This is what frustrates me about liberals that say stuff like “Just vote” or “write letters”, etc. Voting isn’t going to change anything, at this point, if dems aren’t actually doing anything to stop republicans from employing undemocratic measures. If republicans aren’t punished for doing illegal things, let alone…

Even checked they’ve been pushing towards fascism for as long as I’ve been alive.

These sort of places are all over, and they get to run without any sort of oversight by claiming religious exemptions, which is incredibly fucked-up. In any other place (say a state-run facility for people with mental illness or developmental disabilities) you can’t restrain people physically unless it’s written up…

The picture paired with the headline is pretty funny, but come on..

I left the day trump was elected, as well (I just never bothered to delete my account).

Unfortunately your data is worth far, far more to fuckbook than any subscription fee you’d be willing to pay. Even adverts are secondary in value.

I wouldn’t call that “minor”. It’s a pretty big fuckup.

That was his stated reason, yes. The truth was a bit weirder. He was thinking extremely long-term.

And of course it doesn’t help that the reason I’m down in the hole to begin with at this point in my life is because the people I mistakenly trusted the most fucked me over.

Hunter S. Thompson hit the nail on the head when, after losing the election for Sheriff (of Aspen?), he proclaimed “The American Dream is fucked”. I mean, we can argue about when it went bad, or if it was ever a possibility in the first place, but it’s pretty clear at this point that the “American Dream” is a sick,…

I’m more into the absurdist take on things because our political atmosphere keeps getting dumber and weirder. I think of things like coming up with a “Baby Bump Protector(TM)“, which is made of kevlar, comes in your choice of the US flag, the confederate flag, or the Punisher logo. Sometimes I wish I was unethical…

I don’t look forward to watching Sinema and Manchin hold up the process if one of the justices dies...

The untouchable power structures that we must endure are absolutely insane, and inimical to life itself. Frank Herbert knew what was up:
