Oh man freaking brootal. Dropping them from the insurance when they needed it the most? This is we need "socialized" medical insurance.
Eh, cancer is no joke. It doesn't discriminate on who it hits. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even though I would snicker if these CEOs get hit by lightning lol

Plans like that always work until the metaphorical cattle car comes for them.
Indeed. There are so many solutions that work besides declawing!
I mean, for real. How long before the cattle cars come?
They have NASA workers living in their vehicles in California. This country is a paved-over wasteland.

Speaking as a heavy windows gamer who has Linuix as servers and workstations for over 20 years...
We had 3 scratch-happy cats and quelled them with scratching posts. No declawing needed.
Yup, we are. I know I am.
I'm gonna break down my response simply: I'm a Democrat who voted for Bernie in the primaries and Clinton/Biden in the general. Never sacrifice the good for unreachable perfection.
For the most part computer engineers cannot get jobs in America. Though as a result of that there are now very few computer engineering grads in America. The point is that even very important college majors don't get jobs because they outsourced them overseas. Meaning, it was your statement that was lacking in nuance and complexity.
No. I'd rather the warmongers who deploy them take her place. Karma should hit the top of the hierarchy not the bottom.
So when they shipped computer engineering jobs overseas the market was saying computer engineering is useless? Man you really know a lot of things that simply aren't true.
That's simply NOT true. When the Republicans are bulldozed out of the way, Democrats go full speed ahead. Look at California. Newsom has gone absolute gangbusters with the GOP helpless in his path. We're a bullet train of progress here!
Biden can't do it by himself. But we who dumped Trump the first time - minorities and women - will.
Regardless, the United States is doomed to collapse and Balkanize. I'd rather see that than live under a white patriarchal theocratic ethnostate. And I'm not the only one. You'd best take that seriously. You will live to see the USA end. Mark that.
Because you can't handle it, that's why
It's from Netflix's "Damsel". That's all I'm gonna say. Watch it, IDGAF what you think of the movie, 11 is hardcore af. And if you saw the movie... can you handle it? I know at my age I couldn't anymore.
(spoiler warning) Risen 2021 - An Analogy?
I just finished watching the depressing ending of Risen 2021 and the instant the end credits started I was hit with a realization - wasn't this what happened during the Great Oxygen Catastrophe? Anaerobic life existed on this planet for ~1.5 billion years before cyanobacteria came along. It wasn't alien life that did it but doesn't make much difference to me. I mean I appreciate (most of) my fellow humans but we're here because some microbes decided to terraform the planet, heedless of the planet-wide ecosystem they were destroying or the life that depended on it.
Anaerobic bacteria aren't humans and I'm sure they didn't have armies or scientists to realize they were doomed but at the bottom of it, life is life and extinction is extinction.
That crappy movie sure got me to thinking. To borrow a concept from Mark Twain, our actual history rhymes with this movie. Anyone else notice the parallels?
You should be able to ask "I want a CIS mate" in a dating app without being shamed.
There's this rising narrative going around that if you ask specifically for a CIS partner, you're a transphobe. That could be true for some people but it's not fundamentally related to bigotry. Moreover, this narrative, the "if you only want a CIS mate then that is prejudice" is trampling on one of the most important rights a person can have: the right to choose who they want to get intimate with.
First of all, transmen are in fact men and transwomen are in fact women. Let's get that out of the way. This isn't a foot in the door for "trans this really isn't that" narratives. What this is about it is the freedom to choose who you want to be intimate with. That right is sancrosanct, it is absolutely inviolable.
And yes, there's plenty of issues that make transgender dating a special issue. If someone reveals their TG status they can be open to hate crimes and even deadly violence. However all marginalized groups are special in their own way. As a black man I don't think it's racist
