There is never going to be a Perfect Study that eliminates transphobia, and if nitpicking is what is keeping someone from supporting trans rights, I don’t think they were ever going to be much of a supporter to begin with.

If 10% of people detransitioned because they no longer consider themselves trans it wouldn’t matter, because expressing your gender identity is a basic right everyone has as a human being, regardless of what regrets other people have about their own choices. Nobody is ever going to be able to guarantee you’re not going to wind up regretting any given action you take, that’s just life.

This is doubly true for the card payment terminals. The on screen options are all in different places, orders, and with random questions thrown in. What’s your phone number? Do you want to round up to donate a car to starving kittens? What’s your zip code? Debit or credit?

Also, because this system is apparently developed by a maniac: where I live (might be national and not state level, not sure) EBT cards have to be used on some terminals by swiping, not the chip that comes on the card. But to swipe, first you have to use the chip and let that fail. So if you see someone using an EBT card that looks like they have no fucking clue how to use a card, it’s probably that they’re actually using it the only way they can.

Absolutely insane design choice, especially for people who may already be facing delays like separating items into two separate transactions for non-covered items, having to remove items that seem like they should be covered but aren’t, etc.

The Onion makes its best social commentary when it initially fools you into thinking it’s real. The point isn’t to be absurd or trick you, it’s to hold a mirror up and make you think.

Only works if you pair it with a good open-handed slap across the face. They don’t want you to know that anymore, because of woke.

(don’t make me /s this)

I wasn’t aware that summer camp had kids that all voted for Trump. Those dead kids really got what was coming to them!

This doesn’t make sense with how laws regarding flights over international waters work, which is generally that the laws of the country the plane is registered to apply while in international waters. If you get on an American plane in the US and land in a US territory, that’s not leaving the US. They clearly started from their conclusion and worked backwards.

Preaching to the choir, I know.

It can go moldy, though. Always check your weed with a UV light, especially if it’s not from a legal dispensary, you don’t wanna smoke mold.

It’s like water sanitation. Mixing 100 liters of tainted water with 1 liter of clean water doesn’t give you 101 liters of clean water. It doesn’t even give you 100 liters of dirty water and 1 liter of clean water, it gives you 101 liters of dirty water. That’s why ACAB.

Man, I’m tired of reliving the Dubya years.

I like to imagine they were just found in random shoes over the day that people lost/forgot. Someone gets to Vegas and goes ah, fuck, I lost my coke shoe!

I don't see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy...

Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?

If you care about America, your country, and fighting Fascism, then you're flying a US flag, and taking that symbol back.

Then go fucking do it instead of being a keyboard warrior criticizing the people actually doing shit. Jealousy’s an ugly color.

I’m glad, stay safe! Grab some N95 or KN95 masks for outdoor use too while you’re at it 👍
