What's our alternative? Roll over and let the fascists take over?

I’m not a huge fan of intrinsically connecting medication for sexual function with medication for gender-affirming care.

If that were the case, then bottom-surgery wouldn't be gender affirming care either.

Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding the entire concept. To date, I've never seen a single concrete statement on the topic that doesn't upset someone (discounting bloody right-wingers for whom the entire concept is upsetting, bless their hearts) because it somehow invalidates someone else.

However, we seem to be in agreement that these people are raging assholes, and that's the important takeaway.

That only works if the guard accepts his orders. Legally, they have no choice. But in practical terms, large groups of heavy armed men get to make their own decisions.

This is, functionally, the concentration camps.

Narrator: he did not, in fact, know what the hell he was doing.

I mean, I'm not 100% opposed to some of the things he claims he's trying to accomplish. But I'm not what you'd call an expert on the topic, and I might have some bad ideas about how the economy works. But even if I'm not barking up the wrong tree, the things he's doing are not how you accomplish the things he says he wants to accomplish.

Why do we keep electing stupid old men to office?

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

If I'm gonna be shit on for being unethical no matter what I do, (because that is no option to not consume under capitalism for most of us) I might as well be unethical in a way that brings me a little happiness.

This is also a lovely example of why it can be risky to damn with too broad a brush.

No, I know. Like I said, it's not going to be pleasant.

It's already not pleasant, but it's going to not be, too.

But happy enough to accept the work.

Hang on, I'm pretty sure that refusing to buy American warplanes is illegal. Unfair, at the very least. Some might call it cheating.

/s because some people's children.

I'm pretty sure that the main reason Google funds Mozilla is to be able to avoid claims of monopoly on browsers. I don't think we can have it both ways.
