Cute (I actually laughed, haha), but the assumption that meme makes is that it’s clear the gal doesn’t want to participate in the conversation due to body language.
There’s none of that when you’re commenting in a public politics community. You’re not posting in a community for 4b, for example. Additionally, you’re the one that made the initial comment.
By attempting to talk over and belittle others who respond you’re acting like the guy in the meme.
Bodily autonomy is the ability to choose 4b, not the reason to do so. Folks arguing against 4b have not disrespected the ability to do 4b. Therefore bodily autonomy is still respected.
The system which is made up of a bunch of kids raised in brainwashed conservative households.
I feel like this is, in part, voluntarily abstaining from passing your values down to the next generation, which night not have the intended effect.
So this is more scorched earth and punitive than it is trying to fix things?
Is a future dominated by kids raised by these families one worth going through all this effort for?
As I mentioned in another comment, one of the conservatives I know put their kid in a captain America outfit yesterday cuz he was “defending America”.
I googled IBDYBD and the best I got was irritable bowel disease, lmao. I have no clue what that means, can you fill me in?
I don’t see the trump voters going for this at all is the problem.
So what happens when we have a generation of kids almost entirely raised by the 44% of women who voted for Trump into brainwashy conservative families? I already see enough 5 year olds attending trump boat parades and the such to give me concern. A conservative I know dressed their kid up as Capt America yesterday because they were “defending America” after the election.
Seems like it’d suck if an entire generation was raised in these families.
I wonder if this results in more kids being raised in brainwashy conservative families.
That’s a lot of selective interpreting right there, lol.
I don’t have the time or want to unravel everything - I’m only sharing evidence that good things are happening amidst all the doom and gloom, and they’re typically lead by Democrats.
That’s a strange line of reasoning to discourage voting. I just got my mail in ballot, I’ll probably be dropping it off the next time I have a day off.
Sorry, I don’t quite understand your point. Can you clarify?
Do the Democrats have unilateral control at the federal level? Seems far from that to me.
Also worth pointing out that it’s not third party candidates or Republicans passing these state policies. It’s democrats.
So I know it’s nice to doompost, but there certainly are good things to look for.
Some states are working towards making education more available. New Mexico has free tuition, period.
Rampant inflation for food, housing, and utilities with no end in sight
We’re almost back to historical norms for inflation.
Cops are still killing at will, and cop cities are becoming a thing
Now that’s a bold and uninformed take.
Yeah, unfortunately I don’t really have a solution there :(
Y’all gotta try some Korean spas, they have them even in the US.
Those are super relaxing and luxurious.
First you shower, then you get REALLY clean by exfoliating your entire outer carapace, or paying someone to do it. You’re not properly exfoliated until you have flecks of your dead skin flying off.
Then you take a nice hot soak in a series of increasingly warmer hot baths.
Finish it off with a plunge in cold water.
Yes, there are other folks of the same gender. Nobody really cares, you just do your own thing.
Walk out to the lobby, hang out with friends and eat some freshly made Korean comfort food, feeling like a new person.
My friend took me to one after a long day at a theme park, and it’s changed everything, and now Korean spas are mandatory after each theme park. Instead of ending the day tired and sore, you’re relaxed, and generally feel rejuvenated. Ending the night quietly enjoying some snacks with friends feeling the cleanest you’ve ever felt, in a place designed to make you feel warm, comfortable, and safe, is incredible.
Yeah, others have portrayed that as the goal here.
I just feel like I wouldn’t feel particularly attached to the fate of a country raised by brainwashing conservative families anyways, so it’s a scorched earth approach. Yes, you’ve broken the system, and it can be remade now, but those doing the remaking likely won’t carry your values…
