You started it by parroting baseless right-wing propaganda.

Is the violent leftist extremism in the room with us right now?

Because angry men don’t even notice FtM people.

Muldoon was plenty equipped. He had two rocket launchers!

That’s the spirit!

It didn’t look terrible on Michael Jordan with the matching soul patch. It didn’t look good but it wasn’t terrible.

(According to certain styles of manners, which are of course entirely arbitrary and subjective)

Born and raised in the PNW, it’s a combination of climate change and more development of green spaces. Trees and wetlands do a LOT to keep the local temperature down, high-rises and parking lots do the opposite.

It’s hard to generalize any aspect of life in the US because of how damn big it is. People in metropolitan areas can get by just fine without a personal vehicle but it’s much harder in the suburbs and all but impossible in rural communities unless you’re very self-sufficient. I live near a city (Seattle), sufficiently so that I can easily walk to a bus and connect with the regional transit system. If that was my only option I’d have to majorly restructure my life, but it could be done.

Closing the Roastery? I guess they can get fully fucked then, that was the only place around herethey were doing something unique. There’s a million places to get coffee around Seattle and they all sell pumpkin spice lattes.

Conditional surrender. You cannot just accept “I said I was sorry, why can’t things just go back to normal?”

Considering how little disposable income most Americans I know have, you must be truly fucked.

W pretended to be dumber than he was to great effect.

That’s not “strange” that’s just contrarian anti-establishmentarianism. No positive stances, only negarive ones.

There’s “pick up a rat” and there’s “crush a rat in your hand.” Most of the time people are actively trying not to injure animals when we handle them, even if they’re being aggressive. Instinctively we don’t try to grab because hand injuries are likely and possibly debilitating, but if you can ignore that you should have no problem dealing with anything smaller than a dog. (And should then swiftly seek medical care)

Gotta get recruited by George Soros.

Some governments deserve to be treasoned or insurrected.

If you rely on your lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and proximity sensors, you aren’t prepared to react when they fail.

Yes! They’re making people lazy and inattentive behind the wheel.

There was that whole thing with Elon Musk and those “vote counting computers” in Pennsylvania.

Yeah, and we’re in good company.

(To be clear, this is reprehensible. But it’s not helpful to focus solely on the US on this topic.)
