To the Conservative mindset everything is a zero sum game.
Give rights to minorities, that’s taking rights away from white men.
Give restaurant patrons the right to dine in a smoke free environment, that’s taking away the rights of smokers
Increase the minimum wage, that’s devaluing the wages of everyone else
Probably the most telling in a US context is Medicare for all. Free health care devalues their paid healthcare. I mean healthcare is healthcare (sure some doctors are better than others) the only reason someone would be upset that other people could be entitled to the same healthcare as them, whilst costing themselves less, is because these people think they are more deserving of healthcare than other people.
I have Paramount+ to support the A-Leagues. Optus Sport to support the WSL and NWSL. Prime because I’m weak and shop on Amazon and Proton VPN for everything else.
Hey that’s my girlfriend! We met online and plan to meet IRL later this year, once her grandmother recovers from her surgery. (It was expensive too I had to send her $10K to help out with the costs) Love you Kristy!
Ha! No. She told me she chose that name as a tribute to her grandma. Who I’ve just found out will need to go into 24 hour care, luckily I can drop my health insurance to help with the costs. Then I’m gonna buy Kristy and I plane tickets to meet up in Hawaii. I might have to sell my car but it’s going to be so good.
You saying these are bugs tickles my funny bone imagining a metre long anomalcaris scuttling out from under the fridge, like a scene from a Cronenberg movie.
Well technically a bigfin squid has never met a human, but you know those 4-8 metre long arms are just made for hugging so if they ever did meet one that lucky human is in for one big squish.

Donald Trump‘s inner circle doesn’t expect the Supreme Court to go along with his extreme arguments about executive power in the immunity case before the justices. But what the high court does now is almost beside the point: Trump already won....
Until the Supreme Court actually sides with his arguments.
If that does happen Biden should just have him jailed and removed from every ballot in the country, then unilaterally impeach every member of the Supreme Court who assented. Biden’s the president he can do what he wants, he has immunity
