Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

You shot your shot. That’s the important thing.

Good for you!

My favorite is when racists say “We’ve had a black president so we can’t be a nation of racists.”

Like…somehow having a black president now makes it okay for all of the shit conservatives want to do.

Fwiw, egg prices did come down after the last shortage… But not back down to pre-shortage levels.

It looks like egg sellers took a page out of airline companies. Jack up the price. There is outrage. Lower prices a few weeks apart until it’s at a point that is larger than when you started but people seem to be okay with.

I think you’re underestimating how much MAGA Republicans are willing to bite their own noses off to spit at minorities.

They will, maybe reluctantly, give up social security, Medicare, any many of the social programs they benefit from if it allows them to hate Mexicans/Cubans/trans people more.

Look into the benefits offered by your other credit cards. My identity was stolen a few years ago and I learned like a few months ago that one of my credit cards offers free identity protection services if/when your identity gets stolen.

They handle all of the annoying shit like contacting the bank, getting the debt off of your credit card, etc.

If not, and you were part of the Equifax (or any) hack, you likely have this same service available to you for free.

I know you’re kidding but unfortunately student loans can’t be transferred. They only die upon death.

The whole point was to punish sexually promiscuous women.

Every life is sacred is just the spin.

Every unborn life is sacred. Every actual born human can go fuck themselves.

I always liked Barney Stimson’s advice on running a marathon.

Step 1: start running

Step 2: there is no step two

This! Some discomfort is to be expected but it shouldn’t hurt. It should be a good “pain” like it feels good afterwards not a “I really regret all the things” pain.

Hot damn good for you!

Keep us updated! I don’t think lemmy has a remindme bot but I’m saving this comment.

As much as I’d like to believe that SCOTUS will honor separation between state and federal, I simply do not trust our current justices. I fully expect them to say, “Nah…it’s totes cool for Trump, and only Trump, to commit crimes.”

Based on the wording on the news article, it blocks access to hormones. So if an adult is taking testosterone for low-T or estrogen for menopause, well, then that should be illegal too.

I’m far too lazy to look up the bill. Is there a left version of these crazy fundie attorneys who sue bakers for stupid religious reasons?

Yeah but that definition only applies to people who are brown or poor.

In this case, they are all lone wolves. All of them.

Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.

Of course he used the KJV. The version that no modern Christian couldn’t read if they wanted to and the version that basically every fundamentalist Christian has on their bookshelf and never opens.

I’ll admit it took some doing to find.

Fuel + mileage. I don’t know shit about planes but they have to have something akin to an odometer.

The bases for the two parties are very very different.

It’s why Republicans can, with little consequence, call Democrats pedophiles, crooks, etc.

Democrats have a big tent, with a lot of moderates in the base. Moderates, for the most part, see democrats as the paragons of virtue, people who should stand tall while their opponents throw shit at their face and call it confetti.

Moderates won’t vote for Democrats if they feel like they can’t be polite. They won’t vote for Republicans but simply keeping them out of the ballot box is enough for Republicans to win.

The only good way to deal with this is as a SuperPAC. Running attack ads and forcing Republicans to play defense. But remember that conservatives have significant backing from rich assholes and they have their own SuperPACs.

We need democrats or at least Super PACs to start commercials the fact that they are soft on crime. They want to defund the police.

Remember that nuance is not a characteristic of the right.

Iirc the way that blind works is by verifying you work at a specific company but then that email address cannot be used again.

It’s not associated with your specific account.

Someone who worked at blind explained that but there’s no way to know this for sure.
