They definitely think they’re the good guys, both the men and women. Not many people knowingly choose to be villains. They are convinced that their ideals are just and true, and their opponents are godless child-murderers and rapists.
I am the person who made the villain comment. No, we don’t think you actively go around acting like villains from cartoons lol. But while you quietly enjoy your life, you vote for and support policies that cause direct harm to tens of millions of people. You care about the things that impact you, but not about people you don’t relate to. The people you vote for spread hateful ideas that lead supposedly good, Christian conservatives to commit violent crimes because they think the trans person they meet is automatically a pedophile.
I vote to increase taxes every time, so very recently. Sure it would be in my best interest to hoard my money, but I care more about everyone having access to healthcare and social services, because I’m not a selfish person. Conservative policies are inherently selfish.
You cite gun violence, but right-wing politicians have absolutely no policies that aim to reduce gun violence. They oppose all forms of government social services and any gun control. When comparing violence between red and blue states/cities, per capita, red areas commit more violent crimes.
The only way I can see to fix the healthcare costs is regulation, which conservatives vote against every time.
Enforcement of current laws is definitely an issue. Cops refuse to enforce policies they don’t like, and they send domestic abusers right back to their families to continue abusing. I am having a hard time finding statistics for the catch and release of violent criminals, do you have one that shows they comprise a significant or majority portion of violent crime? I see a lot of assumptions from conservatives that illegal immigrants cause the majority of the violent crime in the US, but I never see the data to back it up, so it just comes across as racist.
I’m glad you feel that way. I have a lot of family down south who 100% think we’re all evil and that our explicit goal is to destroy America. Even in this thread there is someone saying liberals want to murder babies.
I have to create one for personal reasons. I know it’s inherently un-private, but how can I maximize privacy while creating & using it without running into problems?
I’m not very familiar with how YouTube works now, do they have hashtags or something similar to find people with the fashion I like? It’s been so long since I’ve used insta, I don’t remember who I followed.
Brent Matsuda said he’d seen signs at Squint Lake Park warning of an aggressive owl in the area, but he “didn’t think it would be a big concern” until his toddler was attacked Saturday afternoon....
Idk if owls can get rabies or something that may cause excess aggression and significant risk to anyone it attacks, that’s really the only circumstance I can think of where I would approve of exterminating an owl. This park is this critters home, this dumbass put his child at risk and doesn’t want to take the blame for ignoring clear signs. Also, the man is a biologist?? And he’s this dumb about animals? Must be a microbiologist or something lol
Highlights: On Tuesday, the NHL reversed a ban on using Pride Tape — rainbow-striped hockey tape — and other shows of LGBTQ+ support on the ice. “After consultation with the NHL Players Association and the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition, players will now have the option to voluntarily represent social causes with their...
Yay! I was really upset that the only sport I enjoy watching had chosen to go backwards to such a bullshit hateful policy, very happy to hear they reversed the decision. Good on Travis Dermott for protesting this, way too many players didn’t give a shit!
I’ve been diagnosed for a couple years, and my husband just received his official diagnosis.

We love How to ADHD! The doctor that diagnosed my husband recommended it to him, and we’ve started watching. Just gotta find the right ones that my BIL will be receptive to. Thank you!

This year’s uptake of the updated Covid-19 vaccine appears to be somewhat slower than last year’s, according to data from the US Department of Health and Human Services and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....
I tried, my local pharmacies ran out within days. Waiting for them to restock, they can’t give me an estimate. Not sure why they predicted they would need so few doses, we live in an area where most people are vaccinated
Ah there we go. Though now I’m up to date, my taskbar (or whatever you call the thing at the bottom where I switch between feed/inbox/etc is) disappears when I scroll, dang
I also have hundreds of blocked communities (and hundreds more blocked users), but I can’t see the number. My criteria are similar to yours, though I also block all politics/news, and I don’t block meme/image/video comms. I only block country specific comms if they are in another language or if they post way too often. I’m here to have fun and maybe learn some cool science stuff.
I do think apps are useful for maintaining some level of reading fluency after establishing a baseline competency. I took 4 years of French through high school and college, but that was years ago. I stopped working on it for a long time and lost like 90% of my vocab and conjugations, but apps are bringing most of it back. They haven’t helped at all for listening though, I’ve been relying on listening to TV/movies/podcasts in French to improve as I can’t afford tutoring with any native speakers.
I’m sure they can’t be there to ‘save water’, as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways…
I’ve never experienced the toilet auto flushing just from me leaning over. Maybe I’m just lucky that all the toilets I’ve used have been properly calibrated for use, and yours haven’t for some reason.
I sit so this is just a guess, but I imagine they use one hand to hold one cheek apart, and the other to wipe? Otherwise yea I feel like it would make more of a mess lol
“Little Eyes” by Samanta Schweblin, a story about how a new technology connects people around the world, and the varied happy and horrific consequences. Samanta Schweblin is my new favorite author. Her best work (imo) is Fever Dream, a hallucinatory novel that feels like a fever dream, about the negative impact of some environmental issues in Argentina.

The difference between centipedes and millipedes actually has to do with how many pairs of legs they have per body segment. Centipedes have one pair per segment, millipedes have two pairs per segment. The centipede with 354 legs is indeed a centipede (: the millipede with the most legs actually tops out around 750 legs! Pill *millipedes seem to be the smallest millipede with only 14-42 legs!
Also, if you google pics of centipedes, there is indeed a species with terrifyingly long legs just like this picture, the house centipede.
I was actually very surprised to learn about the pill bug as well, if I’d known they were millipedes as a kid I would not have found them so cute and fun lol
