15.10.2025 17:46 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I mean, ripping books in half has the potential practical concern of some pages coming loose and getting lost, but in principle I wholeheartedly agree. Books are less important than what's written in them, pretty much.

12.10.2025 00:29 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Query: where in the constitution does it say that the 1st amendment applies only to citizens? From my understanding, there's a fairly consistent precedent that the rights of that amendment apply to all people living within the US. And that is, of course, what would govern access to the sacrament.

Much of the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, a major structure dating back something like 2000 years, was destroyed by the construction of a railroad just... straight through it.

08.10.2025 22:54 β π 7 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0What gets me is, the original Mary Sue story was a lighthearted parody of contemporary fanfic trends. And now the term is basically used for 'woman who is occasionally competent' which is just, what the fuck.
08.10.2025 22:42 β π 6 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Honestly, the fact that so few people seem to give a damn about Cawthorn donating to a fuckin fascist party is *baffling* to me. Like, okay, he kept it relatively low-key, but what the fuck.
08.10.2025 17:22 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Is it ridiculous? Or is it just a prediction of the Dem trajectory will go if they keep moving in the current direction? Because right now, Newsom is abandoning trans people, in part because it polls badly. So what if the fascists spread moral panic about integration until *that* polled badly?
08.10.2025 07:08 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0If you genuinely believe this, then you can't reasonably believe that Newsom will be able to do anything to stop Trump. In which case, there's not any real reason to defend his transphobia other than actually liking that bit.
07.10.2025 23:48 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0One of the most consistent pro-Dem demographics is queer people, who make up a non-negligible chunk of the population. Run a candidate who will alienate them in the name of appealing to conservatives who'll never vote Dem at your own peril, but don't blame anyone but yourself if you do.
07.10.2025 23:39 β π 29 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Okay, out of curiosity, what rights are *you personally* willing to give up in order to preserve democracy? If you think other people should give up their rights, why not put your money where your mouth is?
07.10.2025 22:21 β π 13 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well, that's a fucking catch-22, then, isn't it? Because for plenty of people, it is practically speaking impossible to cast a vote because of these barriers. This is like arguing that the poll tests of the Jim Crow south were fine and Black people should have simply voted them away.

06.10.2025 20:04 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Is pointing out obvious and significant barriers to voting which you blithely ignore saying democracy isn't worth fighting for? Or is it perhaps an exhortation to work towards reducing those barriers before scolding people? Anyway, none of those are issues where I live, so I voted last election.

*but you will need to take time away from work, depending on where you live for an entire day, in some places buy an ID (and spend an excess amount of time to get that), and the Rs are actively working to close down poll stations in heavily Dem places, so you also need transport.
Still, I think, surpassed by John Boyne putting a dye recipe from Legend of Zelda into one of his 'historical novels', but yes.
