@kristiecsu @Acyn@RoKhanna Yep. And if he was going to use examples then, “Should a company have the right to not invest in countries that violate the rights of their Christian minorities, even at the expense of higher returns?” would have put the guy in a pickle.
@AlanLevinovitz@paulg There’s also the issue that words can have either multiple and/or somewhat squishy meanings. If someone says “1/3 of Americans wanted candidate X.” I’d have questions. Do they mean people who voted? Registered voters? All adults? Kids, too?? The meaning of the “fact” isn’t clear.
@AkivaMCohen Also tells me she wasn’t a woman living in the world 50 or 60 years ago. My husband was the kindest man to walk the earth, still pissed me off that I needed his ok to buy a car. 🤬
@AlanLevinovitz I think it would be bad because it wouldn’t get rid of mediocre, formulaic art, just the jobs. In fact if it’s faster and easier to produce we’ll be drowning in it — sort of like how computers didn’t eliminate paper, just made it faster to print off reams of the stuff 😖
@AkivaMCohen @Arditi_d_Popolo I agree that producers have no reason to care and it might even be detrimental if they did (could mean fewer shows due to higher production costs), but when they DO get it right (see Gentleman Jack) it’s soooo much fun for historical costume nerds 😍
@dieworkwear Yeah, I but all my cotton Jersey from Alabama Chanin (grown in TX, spun, knit and dyed in SC). It runs about $30/yd — which is damn reasonable in my opinion, but you’re not going to make a $10 t-shirt out of it.
@katz_2022@LongPlay1215@seleln1@RyanMarino They don’t *want* to say what they mean. They want to allow prosecutors in the most anti-abortion areas with the most anti-abortion jury pools to scare the crap out of doctors. Many of these people don’t see these “abortion doctors” leaving as a bad thing.
@katz_2022@EdwardsGErollo @Amina_S_Dahir @RyanMarino There will be no “duking it out” because doctors will just take the cya route and wait until it reaches an unambiguously life threatening status. Those that can’t stomach that will leave the state and go practice someplace where there isn’t a sword hanging over their head.
@dieworkwear The “appearance of imminent assault” is how I’d describe that person’s pfp. Does he think that gives me license to “proactively” defend myself???
@jesuisfromage@dongossman11@jdcmedlock@chrisfralic Yeah, the price of housing here is astronomical. Even with modest wage growth it’s not keeping pace. Some friends of mine just paid what would have once been outrageous $$ for 2 rental properties just to stop them from ending up as summer only Air B&Bs.
@rbinmv@mbhtt@liseski@RadioFreeTom That’s because it was massively expensive to fly. Most people I knew who moved cross country wouldn’t see family again for 5+ years. If you happened to be rich enough to afford it, yeah, it was delightful.
