I’ve hated myself for long enough, no more. If people hate me because I’m trans, that’s a reflection on them.

Love the Cody Showdy

Oh, fuck off Ted Cruz, you’re not fooling anyone

Yeah, I’m probably addicted to cannabis. That doesn’t particularly bother me, as it doesn’t negatively impact my life. I keep it to nights and weekends, and I don’t spend more on it than I can afford. I honestly have a much harder time quitting coffee than I do cannabis. If I go on vacation, I never have a problem leaving my weed at home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t have my caffeine. And that doesn’t seem to be a particularly harmful addiction either.

It’s funny, because they clearly have the idea in their head that Wikipedia is a single organization capable of an ideological bias. When if you take a single look at some talk pages, it would become clear very quickly that Wikipedia is built on people vociferously disagreeing and bringing sources to make the information presented ever more credible and unbiased.

Cool. Elections are administered by the states though, and my state guarantees mail-in ballots in the constitution. Sooooo, good luck with that, I suppose?

It’s funny, but I feel like I strive to be kind because I’m aware of how the world really works. Like, I’ve been let down by reality and know the world can be a nightmare already, so why would I want to pile even more on someone and make their life harder, you know?

A tariff is effectively just an import tax. When an importer brings the goods into the country, they have to pay the tariff to the government. But they still need to make a profit, so they raise their price to the distributor they sell to. And the distributor has to cover the increased cost, so they charge the stores more. And then the stores charge higher prices to the end consumers.

In some cases, tariffs might be used to target a specific sector or industry to protect domestic manufacturing in that area. The idea is that by raising the price of imports, you make domestic goods relatively cheaper, so consumers will prefer the domestic. But if tariffs are applied broadly, and the country doesn’t have enough domestic manufacturing to meet demand, and its economy relies heavily on imports, then tariffs just raise costs to consumers for no reason.

I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t Nature and its subject-specific varieties considered some of the most reputable and prestigious scientific publications?

Yes, but that would mean that logic has any bearing on what the Supreme Court decides to do

There is a dedicated ICD-10 medical code for “eye pecked out by a chicken”. They’re vicious little fuckers.

It always blows my mind when I see Back the Blue flags next to Gadsden flags. Who do they think is doing the treading?!
