Left them in my other pants, unfortunately.

I mean, probably not bacteria or viruses.

I’ve met a lot more people who think people aren’t animals than people who think bugs aren’t.

Y’all got any more of that data?

I use Firefox for some teleconferencing, but my therapist’s software only works on chrome

Healthline is a medical resource that is substantially written by non-expert freelance writers and reviewed by non-expert advisors. The content is frequently incorrect misinformation, sometimes dangerously so. Due to the heightened requirements for biomedical and medical sources on Wikipedia, the consensus of editors … was to deprecate Healthline as an unusable source … and to blacklist Healthline as a hazard to readers. References to Healthline should be removed from Wikipedia.

Step 1: someone says trans people are bad and wrong

Step 1.5: live in a world providing plenty of evidence to the contrary. (No action required)

Step 2: attempt diplomacy by saying that statement is probably false and its use will be reacted to with force. (Often a previously stated rule and therefore no action required)

Step 3: use force.

The fact is, saying that anyone has “skipped diplomacy” is also disingenuous. The discussions bigots are trying to have aren’t novel, they’ve been had to the extent that they are solved. No one “decided” they are bigots and have to get kicked out, it’s a conclusion.

I’m with you, but understanding someone’s view sometimes means acknowledging that it is, in fact, irrational. There are reasons some give as to why they think that cis women need protection from trans women, but those reasons are either not rational since the vast majority of evidence is to the contrary, or they are founded on the extreme minority of evidence that confirms them (meaning the search for evidence was conducted irrationally).

If I try to understand someone’s point of view, restate it to them in a way they accept, and present overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and their response is to say the evidence is irrelevant because it’s possible some of it was biased, that’s irrational.

From my safe space discord servers mostly. And from Lemmy.

It’s totally sexual assault.

But that amount of contact is assault whether it’s sexual or not. I just meant that it’s not like this was just catcalling.

They already said posts about socialism!

Sometimes it varies by neighborhood.

Do you mean fluoridated? Was the drinking water really chlorinated?

Mostly in schools, so not something a traveller is likely to see

Weird relationship to Socialism

Cold war really messed US up, mentally

Half-and-half is supposed to be “half milk, half cream” and is used primarily in coffee instead of heavy cream.

Either that or op and their friend posed for these photos themselves to make this mend

Yes

Okay so on the one hand the secret police waiting to find sexual assault is pretty creepy, but on the other hand this is also just plain old assault, right? He didn’t just catcall, he grabbed her and held on while she struggled and cried out…

Edit: clarity

The significance here is the recent supreme court ruling that presidents have presumptive immunity for things they do officially while president, supposedly so they aren’t worried by a silly thing like the law when they’re trying to “be bold” or whatever. “Officially” is left very loosely defined, making almost any act potentially official and therefore immune.

Smith’s claim here is that the actions trump took around the 2020 election were not official acts of a president, but were fundamentally acts of a private citizen, and therefore not immune.
