I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

Churchill: Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.

Me: Not like being nazis though right?

Churchill: well

for me it was the fact that the author is one of the main driving forces behind the global movement to kill my trans friends and erase their existence

hope that helps

And the corollary - feeling like butter spread over too much bread, but never having the words to explain it.

If they haven't asked for it in 90 days, they never will. Use it or throw it away, but the "proper" owner isn't coming back.

I feel like you can't just drop a fact like this with no follow-up. Why? And where can I learn more?

I check their post history; if it's just image macros I block without a second thought.

I misread your penultimate word as "Pokemon", and TBF it still holds.

Lots of good folks at the CDC fought to acknowledge airborne transmission, but the leadership was clinging to the outdated droplet model that cost time and lives. Unfortunately sanitizing the air means expensive building retrofits instead of cheap sanitizer and "personal responsibility".

Oh they 100% haven't, but that's kind of my point. The US isn't a coldly rational profit seeking machine despite what they tell you. If a long-term solution isn't visible and/or cheap it doesn't get implemented. After all, what's the benefit in defeating respiratory disease if you don't get credit?

The problem is the systems that are effective are expensive and invisible. Antiseptic atomizers are basically useless, but an HVAC system that can do 5 air exchanges per hour are almost unnoticeable beyond a nice smell or sensation.

Almost as if there's been a growing disconnect between historical metrics of economic success and the lived experience of the citizenry.

The TSA will absolutely judge you though, I used to load up on cheese when I flew back home to Wisconsin and there is a cheese threshold that raises questions.

"The age of human creativity is over!" the least interesting men in the world gleefully decree, while wondering why no one wants to buy their plagiarism machine.

I played it for an entire semester in the dorms, until I got Nol'd without even knowing that was a thing. I still dream about that game sometimes.

Huh. I was raised in a church that splintered off of AoG about 40 years ago, I wonder if they knew... I never found out where the schism stemmed from.
