@Mollyploofkins You’ve obviously never visited rural Alabama.
Or Central Florida.
Or a New York City homeless encampment.
There’s plenty to be embarrassed about without the orange former guy. He just makes it all the more poignant.
If Joe Biden and DJT are the nominees in ‘24, then the method we use to identify and choose candidates has run badly amok. Time to put out the fire and reevaluate our institutions.
@JoyceCarolOates ‘Gender’ is a psychosocial concept. Sex characteristics are physiological. We don’t know the brain generates consciousness, we only know that absent a brain, consciousness doesn’t exist. Is my left leg male? Is my brain? Only I can say. That’s the fundamental right.
@JoyceCarolOates I like the woman with her eyes closed and the guy sticking out his tongue.
And you, of course, Ms. @JoyceCarolOates.
Also all the rest, but those two seem just a smidgen more, well, iconoclastic.
@JoyceCarolOates Consciousness is dependent on the biological mechanism that supports it. Perhaps the question should be, is chemistry gendered?
We know so much, and understand so little.
@JoyceCarolOates It’s not a matter of education, it’s basic intelligence. Evolution cannot be stopped, and Homo sapiens are subject to the same imperatives as the fruit fly. Stupidity is deadly, and with the JWST, electron microscope and Hawking et al, the intelligent shall prevail. Soon.
@BlakekKirk The longest trip I’ve taken on Amtrak is 12 hours and it was far from boring. You can get up and stroll around, there’s always something interesting out the window, the club car is bare-bones but certainly well stocked, and comfy business class cost less than coach airfare. Nice.
