God, the infighting. Maga really can’t stand anyone who’s not them.

Good riddance.

People will stop consuming meat if dunno. meatpacking plants are full of COVID19 sickness and no one packs any meat.

That’s not about prices being too high. It’s about people being too sick to do the work…

There must always be as much profit as possible no matter who suffers*

I honestly don’t get it. Why do prices have to go up even if wages don’t? It seems like some people say that some kind of inflation is absolutely necessary no matter what.

Affirmative Asylum Processing with USCIS

To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

I’m a woman and I don’t care. I’ve been in the bathroom with men before and even had a nice conversation with them. Do I not exist? Who gave you the rights to speak on behalf of all women everywhere?

Just a small correction. They were women. Not minor female children. Calling them girls is infantilizing.

Acronyms can have more than one meaning.

TLC - tender loving care

TLC - the learning channel

I legit always thought it was Tender Loving Care.

You and me both. I love documentaries and when I get on a space kick, I think about this a lot. What did it look like? What’s nothing? My brain can’t fathom literally nothing. It had to be some sort of something. Almost makes me want to say that the universe does have a creator, but in that case, where’d the creator come from? (My favorite creation myth is that the Goddess danced and galaxies spun off on her dress. Makes as much sense as any of the others.)

This is actually really cool. I have no idea about any of it, but I remember watching a documentary a long time ago that said certain mathematical patterns repeat all over nature. What you said seems similar to that.

They do it to avoid a libel lawsuit.

What would fix a lot of this would be a mechanism where the people could vote to remove someone from a federal position

A vote of no confidence and we get to reelect Congress?

Term limits would help too.

Term limits only help when you make politics about the issues rather than who has the most money to get noticed. Make the term limits too short and all you do is give it to the people with the most money considering our politicians currently spend half their time fund raising for their next election.

democratic process has failed us

This isn’t the fault of the democratic process, but allowing money to be speech, companies to be people, and the oligarchy to take over.

I swear the bunnies in my neighborhood would do this. They’re super cute, but not very smart.

Of course my breathing is all I can think about now.

It depends on how you think about it. I think of it as giving my kids a piece of myself in my love and effort to care for them. They are their own people, but they carry a part of me, just as I carry a part of my parents and those who helped shape me into the person I am.

I don’t think this person believes that people are actively making up intrusive thoughts or talking about something that doesn’t happen. It seems like they’re saying that thoughts, any thoughts, are our imagination, intrusive or otherwise.

I’m ok with this.

Nah, a quarter of us protest for it, a quarter protest against it, and half pretend that both sides do the same thing and bury their heads in the sand.
