So republicans are somehow against a program that provides HIV/AIDS medication to people in poor countries because it checks notes promotes abortion??

Republicans will say anything and do anything to make sure they hurt as many vulnerable people as possible.

It's just that this requires a set of skills most don't possess

Thank you. I hate these comments implying that this is one hundred percent impossible or even that you need to be a rich person to accomplish it. I did it for a short time. But I went to town to get water and food, it's not like you need to have every single thing be completely self sustaining (you can, but it's not like it "doesn't count" if you go get something). It was uncomfortable and hard, but that also contributed to what made it so rewarding. It was one of the best times in my life.

It is stupid to try to live in the wild without knowing what you're doing though. The area I was in had good weather, close to a town etc. It wasn't at the top of a mountain or anything.

I don't think questioning racializing something as arbitrary as living off grid amounts to the same thing as "just stop talking about race." That's either really misunderstood or just a bad faith argument.

Also two-spirit people in Indigenous cultures

The worst was the people who insisted it wasn't funny enough. I thought it was pretty funny, but was that really the point?

Nobody gives a shit about either of those things, which is why 99.9% of people just say "fine" or "good." I honestly don't even know why this is a neurodivergent thing, is a US society/culture thing.

That's how I feel about SoCal. I noticed on Google Maps a lot of homes are taking up the sea cliffs south of LA. I always thought that all coastline in CA was public...

Are you saying like the DNC actually gives money to colleges? Or maybe people you just don't like make private donations, which has nothing to do with what's taught

Nobody is calling to exterminate anybody, because the other problem with that statement is that transgender people is not a real ontological category — it’s not a legitimate category of being,” Knowles continued. “There are people who think that they are the wrong sex, but they are mistaken. They’re laboring under a delusion. And so we need to correct that delusion.”

It looks like it was some doucher from the Daily Wire during a speech at CPAC, but it was in response to Aldean's comment of literally "eradicating transgenderism."

Idk, close enough. If it walks like a nazi and talks like a nazi, then it's probably a nazi.

Idk if there's any connection, but it is weird that the last writer's strike was in late 2007.

You know, I saw the story about the actors strike the day after it started on the NBC national news. It was about two minutes of the resporter telling the audience which shows they were going to be missing out on, like the next season of The Handmaid's Tale. It was so fucking blatantly one sided, to the point of just lying by omission. I'm not even sure they mentioned the AI issue. Of course no rational person should trust a TV network to give them unbiased, rational reporting about a fucking actors strike, but that's exactly where the average person is going to learn about it. And that's all that will come to mind - "oh no, my shows might take longer to come out."

The girl involved now has an Only Fans page, so even if she offered, the prosecution felt that would hurt her credibility

It's so fucked up that our culture still thinks like this
