Oh, sorry, I must have missed the part where you said it’s a Nazi salute. If you believe that then spending this much time arguing about how there’s no way it could be proved in court that it’s a Nazi salute gives the wrong impression.

Especially since for public figures (like Musk) the bar for libel is much higher, and requires that someone know what they said was untrue.

That’s what I thought too re: it being a token thing, but my spouse who grew up in a blue state suburb didn’t even get that!

They don’t give a single fuck with chickens. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen chicken transportation trucks, but it’s literally just jammed full of chickens in tiny cages, 8-10 layers high, exposed to the elements. If you live close enough to commercial chicken farms you’ll see dead ones on the side of the road all the time where they’ve fallen off the truck and been run over.

Since people outside the south tend to not know that the phrase is generally uttered as a sincere one after someone has emotionally moved you, whose bite exists only in that context (ie, you have moved them to pity) I choose to interpret it in the former way, the same way my Democratic southern grandmother would have. Bless her heart, she is doing the Lord’s work.

Go do that in Germany and see what happens, if you’re so sure it’s not a Nazi salute.

Is this a modern (past 20-30 years) trend, or did I just get insanely lucky with my school teaching us about stuff like the Trail of Tears as a kid?

Fucking crazy to me that so many people left of center are fighting over who to blame on their side when the people who voted for it are right there and in power.

Out of Gritty Skittles?? Gritty supplement incoming!

I’m immensely relieved he was actually defrocked and not just given a slap on the wrist.

I sense a right wing grift career in his future.

Which is a funny choice of name, since they’re probably the least critical people in existence. Oh wow, sex and gender work exactly how you learned in kindergarten and also the concept of sex and gender in the religious and political environment you grew up in just happened to perfectly reflect reality? Damn that’s crazy, very critical of you to notice that.

If you can find an LGBT center near you that does therapy I highly recommend it. Absolutely changed my life to be able to have therapy with someone that I wasn’t either worrying about educating about LGBT issues or straight up dealing with ignorant comments/questions.

I’ve been struggling with plasma deck, I’ll have to try this.
