TIL She had a meeting with the Pope).

After receiving a surprise phone call from a church official, the Kentucky county clerk says she traveled to Washington, D.C., where she and her husband Joe met the pope Sept. 24 at the Vatican Embassy.

“I put my hand out and he reached and he grabbed it, and I hugged him and he hugged me,” Davis said. “And he said, ‘thank you for your courage.’”

Religious freedom only exists to enforce religion and deny other freedoms.

I got curious and looked in to who this guy was. And, well, Owen got banned from most socials after he called Obama the n-word, so OF COURSE Elon had to bring him back so he further share his thought with the world.

If you are “too big to fail”, as in you not operating is disaster for the nation, then you literally need to be nationalized. Some will complain that’s socialism, but it’s literally the market determining that X industry isn’t profitable.

It’s only evil socialism if tax money helps poor people, not executive bonuses.

Sandra Pagniano disappeared while she was in the process of divorcing her husband

Piece of shit would rather kill her than let her live a life without him.

Trump was booed especially loudly when he called for the Libertarian Party to nominate him, instead of its own candidate, in the election.

“Or you can just keep getting your three percent”

Not that I care, but what the fuck was your plan here? Just roasting libertarians for the fun of it?

Which to be fair, is a hobby of mine.

Jurgis recollected how, when he had first come to Packingtown, he had stood and watched the hog-killing, and thought how cruel and savage it was, and come away congratulating himself that he was not a hog; now his new acquaintance showed him that a hog was just what he had been-one of the packers’ hogs. What they wanted from a hog was all the profits that could be got out of him; and that was what they wanted from the workingman, and also that was what they wanted from the public. What the hog thought of it, and what he suffered, were not considered; and no more was it with labor, and no more with the purchaser of meat. That was true everywhere in the world, but it was especially true in Packingtown; there seemed to be something about the work of slaughtering that tended to ruthlessness and ferocity-it was literally the fact that in the methods of the packers a hundred human lives did not balance a penny of profit.

“In the electoral sphere especially, where ‘ugly patterns of pervasive racial discrimination’ have so long governed, we should demand better – of ourselves, of our political representatives, and most of all of this Court.”

• Justice Elena Kagan

Everyone knows this is the objectively wrong decision, the judges are just playing politics because they have the votes to do so. And as a result, we all suffer.

“having grown past my bubble, talked to the people I affected, read more widely, and realised the impact my actions had on people I never wanted to harm"

Reading saves another one. Good for them! Seems like their was a lot of work put in to building a better life, which is admirable when it’s so much easier to say nothing and live in a culture of hate.

I agree with her final take.

$6,000 plus for two day down to the minute itinerary app based experince? Hell no. Sounds expensive and exhausting.

$400 bucks for a dinner for two with drinks, a floor show and a ton of cool photo ops? Well that’s something I would consider for a fun date night if I lived in the area.

I like the idea of actions over words, but voting in Portland is 100% mail in. The whole process takes like 10 minutes tops. Is there really something else you can do with that small amount of time that has an effect on government actions that would exclude you from voting? Like, I get it, “stop funding genocide” isn’t on the ballot, but what action are you doing that will help stop said genocide that precludes you from ALSO taking 10 minutes to vote?

If you don’t have a good answer for that, then not voting is literally virtue signaling. Which is by definition using words instead of action.

McDonalds was just trying to get ahead of what they thought was an inevitable wage increase so they had an excuse to price hike.

Told the fiance of the girl I was secretly seeing that I would probably bang her tonight at her birthday party. I vaguely remember puking in the toilet that night but then woke up in the garage the next morning confused why everyone was giving me the stink eye.

I still feel really bad about it, like not even just how I told but the fact that I was even seeing her anyways. I was young, but that’s not an excuse and I should’ve know better.

That night was a wake up call.

He was the real cautionary tale of the doc, that level of “Hail-corperate-my-identity-is-consuming” is just sad.

It’s always hilarious and frustrating when people who don’t understand a topic try to disprove it. This is the same energy as flat earthers pointing to the horizon and going “See!?!” or anti-vaxxers pointing out people who still get sick.

Anyone who thinks this logic is compelling should actually crack a book. I’d recommend Judith butlers gender trouble, but this sort of meme is peak dunning kruger. Literally too ignorant of a topic to actually argue against it.

Exactly! In the same boat over here. I’m sure The Marvel’s is fun and fine, but I haven’t got around to Ms. Marvel yet and now I just feel fatigue at the whole concept of doing homework to catch up.

Which ignores the context that getting them with a prescription is becoming a functional immposiblity for trans people in the UK. I support the concept that prescription drugs should not be for sale, BUT it is disengenerous that the prescription process is arbitrarily years long and constantly under attack.

My trans friend who lives in the UK has been forced to get her medication from the web because she has been on a waiting list to get a prescription for over three years now! She actively wants someone with a medical degree involved in her care, but that’s literally immposible for her, despite her well paying job. It’s easy enough to say “don’t break the law” while ignoring the people harmed.

Fucking horseshit.

These drugs aren’t dangerous, and for those that seek them it’s often life saving. This isn’t “illegal prescriptions” like oxy for a high that fuels drug trade. Seriously, there is no gain for humanity by making life MORE difficult for trans folk. Especially in the UK where the wait list for a prescription is literally YEARS long.

It’s super duper disengenerous to call these illegal drug. Their medicine for people with gender dysphoria, and further restricting their access to it is nothing short of cruelty.

Forgetting that the law does not equal morality, and that these harmless medications are blocked from a 3+ years long wait list to get legally. No trans person WANTS to use the web for their healthcare, they WANT to have access to regular blood panels and those holding degrees, but in the UK that is simply not possible due to arbitrary meaningless political attacks.

Take your “just follow the law” argument all the way to legalized slavery and realize how ignorant, privileged and foolish you sound.

“Uniting Atari and Intellivision after 45 years ends the longest-running console war in history,”

Sure, but they both lost the war long ago. This is just some archeologist coming along to display both their bones in a museum hoping to boost gift shop sales.

And you’re WILDLY underestimating the rates of bear attacks versus rape, murder and assault.

One out of six women will experience some sort of sexual assault, versus about 40 bear attacks per year. A bear is predictable, it will mostly just go about its business, but a man that knows we are alone in the woods?

the man refused to exit his vehicle and identified himself as a sovereign citizen. Deputies engaged the man in conversation for over an hour in an attempt to remove him from the vehicle.

It’s obviously relevant context. This situation wouldn’t exist if he wasn’t a sovidiot.
