Humans also fart methane, is that a reason not to ride them?

Great stuff! Disappointing that the article didn't mention how they managed to get on the tarmac.

Hey, that's my favorite System of a Down lyric!

All research and successful health policies show

That walking should be increased

And law enforcement decreased while abolishing

Mandatory minimum parking spots

I buy my crack, I smack my bitch

Right here in Hollywood

Please no one tell them and let them drink their raw milk and get avian flu and perish.

Google Messages app already falls back to SMS automatically if RCS fails. SMS is not going anywhere.

I might be wrong but I don't think the commenter was joking. It's not a joke to say a lot of politicians have been assassinated and to question how someone in such a situation managed to get safely elected. I wonder the same thing.

for real, I'm pro trans rights and I still sometimes accidentally deadname Elliot Page because I have dyscalculia. if you ban me for that aren't you being ableist?

also yes context is very important.

if I say "when Caitlyn went by the name [X], and she used [Y] pronoun, [Z] thing happened to [Y]", I assume I will still get banned for deadnaming even though I'm innocently adding clarity to a conversation.

to make things worse, if someone is trans and gender fluid, and I call them by a name or pronoun they used last time I knew about them, now I've committed a crime of which I had no knowledge.

this blanket condemnation of deadnaming is just dumb. it requires nuance.

Until a mental health issue has been concretely determined, I believe it's somewhat irresponsible to toss the idea around that it's the underlying root cause for this obscene behavior.

Religion, like other dogmas, has historically empowered and continues to empower a lot of otherwise mentally healthy people to feel okay doing plenty of fucked up shit, simply because religion said it's okay to do it.

Ever heard of the Stanford Prisoner Experiment? Many "normal" people will do terrible things if simply given permission.

I'm sure the therapist did say something like "think about forgiveness towards Taylor" and he, being delusional, interpreted it as "I need to write my feelings in a song and send it to her so she can finally understand why she caused me pain, and only then, if she responds positively, I'll forgive her."

Any person practiced in forgiveness knows the act doesn't involve the other person at all, and isn't conditionally based on them doing anything.

It is a choice you make internally within yourself, by accepting they have hurt you and choosing not to hold on to the negative feeling of resentment.

Viola Davis is often quoted as saying, "forgiveness is giving up hope that the past could've been different."
