There is a very distinct double standard when it comes to the candidates and what the media and citizens focus on. Kamala has to be flawless and Trump gets a “Trump will be Trump” attitude.

Not just transphobic: Intersex-phobic and libelous

Not sure how you are defining nepotism here.

If only sex was as simple as a selection of gametes. There is a wide range of chromosomal, hormonal, genitalia, and physiological variation in human sex characteristics, and it is much more common than you think. And that is ignoring much more subtle variation and overlap between the sexes - cognitive, emotional, psychological - that are just as much a part of the natural variation of human sex as any other.

And before you come back with an argument about some rhetoric about “conditions” or what ever - all of evolution starts as a rare variation that becomes common in a certain population. Certain eye colors are nearly the same rarity.

Finally, there are plenty of animals that have individuals that do not reproduce. Examples are naked mole rats. We aren’t a eusocial species, but it isn’t to say we don’t have some very early characteristics of it.

I think you just redefined a marriage. The function of marriage legally is all those “legal affairs”.

That is really not true.

Limited visibility, limited comprehension, limited attention, and limited risk aversion.

My guess is that the vending machine is not owned by whoever put this up and the operator indicated they will be by to empty it.

Attempting a coup is much harder with an opponent on the executive branch. The only reason the last one was close was because Trump was sandbagging the response. The only way one succeeds now is if the military facilitates the coup, aggressively, IMO.

This thread demonstrates the idealogical purism and lack of pragmatic political expectations from leftists and progressives. There is literally nothing the Biden admin can do that will ever be enough because it doesn’t match some rosy fucking dreamland that only lives in your heads. Descheduling is huge, and signals the end of 100 years of madness with cannabis laws. If you want more, then we need to have more legislative power to implement it.

This is a fucking win, dumbasses.

What you are suggesting is a legislative action. The nation needs to provide enough legislative power to happen.

That’s not close to average life expectancy in the US.

This is apples to oranges. Fusion is not the same as fission. We simply don’t know the economics of a viable fusion reactor.

However, we do know fissions cost is heavily driven by safety and regulation. It is very reasonable to assume that fusion’s requirements in this area are distinctly smaller.

You have to leave incentives for people who are the ones who are going to create the jobs for all those people trying to climb the ladder.

Oh my god, FUCK OFF

It still doesn’t really make much sense in a world where the vast majority of things are replicated. The only things that would give them worth are things that cannot be replicated:

• Specific real estate
• Experiences
• Favors?

• Pretty much any hobby is carbon positive. Gardening is almost certainly on the lower end of carbon positive hobbies.
• In the agriculture domain, growing plants for the sake of direct consumption is not the primary source of emissions - that would be animal based agriculture by far.
• Gardening promotes community resilience and health.

If you mean “point and click” level of proficiency, sure.

Meh, maybe 10% of a single generation at most know how to use computers. Technically savvy millenials vastly overestimate how technically savvy other millenials are.

*It is definitely not too late to mitigate a ton of suffering. *

I’ve said it elsewhere: environmental nihilism is deeply unethical. There is a ton we can do to minimize damage and restore the environment.

Being vegan is absolutely not worse for the environment.
