The other irony: Trump wants FBI agents to assist ICE in a huge raid on L.A.

Seriously? Fire a bunch of agents one day and ask their remaining coworkers to do your dirty work the next? What the actual fuck?

So very glad you're here! ❤️

Human broccoli fart or human brussels sprouts fart? I know when I eat brussels sprouts, I don't even want to be in the room with myself.

One of the best definitions I've seen: "Being 'conscientized' to a belief that society is organized by persistent structural forms of oppression, like systemic racism, that determine people's lives and view of the world and the need to take collective social action against the society to change it."

YUP. The Big Liebowski insulted Ted Cruz's wife, and Ted Cruz still could not kiss the ground he walked upon quickly enough. On the one hand, I'd hate for Cancún Cruz to desert our country if some horrible need arose (though honestly, we might be better off); on the other, he'd be out of Texas.

In that case, can we bring back Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman from The Hunger Games?

Eh, wasn't even just anti-vaxxers who died during the pandemic. So many had already died by the time vaccines became available. And you could take precautions, but if nobody around you was doing so and you did have to leave home, you were kinda screwed. Later on, it was the unvaccinated.

The natural medicine alternative to therapeutic phlebotomy for polycythemia?

But it made for a great Schitt's Creek episode.

This times a thousand! Why will people listen to the one bullshit lie, and not the mountains of evidence to the contrary... or even the person who told the bullshit lie admitting it was, in fact, a bullshit lie?

The Felon Supreme as profile photo? Block away.

Actually, science doesn't say there are 2 sexes. Biology is fascinating, and nature never did just stop at 2 sexes, end of story. You ought to read up on it; interesting stuff.

Don't see what a degree in marketing has to do with your response, but congrats all the same.

3/3 When one person is of the opinion that anyone who lives/thinks/believes differently from them should be regulated by the government, that is a point at rational conversation becomes impossible. If no one capable of informed consent is being harmed or exploited, maybe just leave them alone?

2/3 using religion as a means to control others' decisions through government or other means, &/or (especially) personal attacks, that is a conversation I no longer see being fruitful. While I do hold personal religious beliefs, I increasingly see the value in separation of church & state.

1/3 I am always willing to have a discussion based on facts & sound philosophical principles. If that discussion devolves into mud-slinging, conflating opinion/conspiracy theory with fact, presenting falsified/bogus research as if it were empirically sound,

Agreed. If one person feels the need to be checking inside every pair of pants/under every skirt, and someone else just wants to be comfortable going to the restroom, who in that equation is the perv? European-style bathroom stalls and bam! Problem solved.

Can we ban Pete Hegseth from the restroom? Civilization? The whole planet?

Probably about like mine. Last year my brother and I took earbuds for any time we weren't actively stuffing food in our faces. It was a calculated decision.
