@Birdprenorphine@xwanyex there's ten thousand books about the 2nd gen experience and every one of them is about how it's kinda crazy to be an american with non-american parents
@xwanyex the only reasonable basis is "do they have an accent." if you're calling american born kids without accents "immigrants" you're simply being obtuse
@RichardHanania very funny how she is cited as the first hindu to do this &that (including "be in congress"); 95% percent of people look at her and assume she is from india and practices normal hinduism but she's actually a samoan who follows a splinter sect of a splinter sect led by a white guy
@AlanMCole@DerekPederson3 Ukraine (and Russia, I suppose) prove that modern states can still prosecute a war to the fullest if there's a truly compelling reason. It's just that the US hasn't had one of those in 80 years
@dubbynubby@ODouglas_Stan i don't think thinking TFA is better than TLJ is a common opinion among andor fans but kudos for not having the bad opinion i thought you would
@dubbynubby@ODouglas_Stan i bet you're one of those guys who hates TLJ for "ruining luke" but doesn't see anything wrong with TFA taking a giant wet shit on the Rebellion's victory
@AlexGodofsky@rex_the_reptile@FrankBednarz court packing doesn't erase judicial review at all, it just standardizes/rationalizes control of the court to "whoever last had a trifecta" instead of it being subject to a bunch of actuarial randomization
@nikicaga & i'm not saying its obvious that its a toxin, its entirely speculative without actually identifying potential culprits, but if people are gonna keep banging their head against the wall of unsatisfying socio-cultural explanations it should be in the conversation too
@nikicaga the fact that its global is a point in favor of a toxin, for the exact reasons the tweet you replied to described. not obvious that the recent trend is one and the same with the longer post-agricultural one either
@noworkfunction@corsaren a lot of medicaid spending is for the same group so its not an entirely unfair conflation
you're also directionally right in that there's a lot more potential solutions for SS than for old folk's medical spending
@GodsFavRtard@HemlockTapioca@3xcalibaneur you're allowed to defend yourself from an unwanted person in your house why not inside your body (not that i actually think a fetus is even close to a person, but for the sake of argument)
@digasdigasdigas@fearthe_void this makes everyone mad of course but i'm not gonna deny that the Nova music festival was a tits up fuckup leading to a massacre. ppl really think sinwar wanted them to do columbine shit on a bunch of raver girls? and yeah the IDF killed people there too but not all of em lol
@digasdigasdigas@fearthe_void the synthesis is to deny at all costs the "terrorist" and "condemn Hamas" framing but admit that it appears war crimes were committed as Hamas pursued its legitimate military objectives
@happycamper2477@tszzl james cameron & stanley kubrick didn't make some of the greatest masterpieces of american cinema about evil AI for you to say they aren't on the radar at all. people don't organize against it because there's no leverage & it sounds silly, but they definitely think/talk about it
@nephew_jonathan@KelseyTuoc@tracewoodgrains (and from the viewpoint that views forced pregnancy as an atrocity, abortion as control over the inside of your body will not be seen as an unreasonable extension to common-law privacy rights)
@nephew_jonathan@KelseyTuoc@tracewoodgrains i think in 2100 they'll consider forced pregnancy to be unfathomably monstrous but also have some sympathy for our lack of access to the solution that'll be in regular use then (people paying for unwanted fetuses to be donated to others via transplant/artificial wombs)
