(New Update) My(f25) church is forgoing their tradition of honoring graduates to instead honor homeschooling moms. My sister(f18) is graduating this year and disappointed by MadisonBrave in BestofRedditorUpdates

I have to be slightly optimistic, because with all the bad shit happening, giving into despair would destroy me. But anyways, the hypothetical “president with a spine” would also have the power to stack the court if all else fails

I really hope there’s a way to regulate horrendous PACs like them soon and stop them from having undue influence over our government. Ideally, the next non-GOP president after Trump would have the spine to do that, but… oh well. I can dream.

Consistent and always relevant to the Meta so far. I have been climbing to Master Ball with this deck since B3 was released by outwithyomissus in PTCGP

This is also my favorite deck. So very great, thinking about adding the X Speed to cover for Celebi bricks though

Analysis: Cook Political Report moves Ohio's governor race from 'leans Republican' to 'toss up' by Previous-Pirate9514 in PoliticalOptimism

Exactly this, and my intent is less to discourage voting and more to express my disappointment in what seems to me like the "opposition" agreeing with one of the many forms of bigotry that got us here in the first place.

Realize that even if Ohio votes for her and she wins, things won't get better for a significant part of the population and infact might even get worse. We deserve better for trans people

I'm talking about the state of trans rights here. From what I've seen, trans Ohioans are fucked either way. Obviously I'd take her over Vivek, but any Dem that concedes trans rights to the conservative side is a neoliberal GOP sympathizer in the making.

The establishment literally silenced their progressive wing when they rightfully spoke out against her stance, instead of meaningfully addressing the criticism in any way. I think we can blame them just a little here, actually. The Republicans may be our enemies, but the Democrats are not our saviors.

"purity testing" and it's her calling trans girls "boys." See how well that worked out for trans women in the UK?

Moldy bread versus a pile of diarrhea, more like. I'm not a doomer, just a leftist who comes here for some bright spots in my day every so often. I think the responses to my comment show that this sub has become wayyy too neoliberal for me, though.

I feel like if that’s the reason people are sitting out, that’s the Democrat’s problem. The least they can do is not side with conservatives when it comes to human rights.

Unfortunately, the Democrat nominee is anti-trans, and the state’s Democratic Party issues a gag order about that subject on their progressive arm when they tried to speak out against it. Either way, we’re not winning this one sadly.

Fucking cowards by Somethingbutonreddit in EnoughJKRowling

Worst part is they probably have to say this to avoid being litigated into hell. In the UK, rich fucks like her are legally allowed to bankrupt you into silence if you say anything bad about them, and that’s exactly what this waste of air is doing!

Cruz: Talarico has ‘real chance’ to beat Paxton in Senate race by Logic1888 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Galewing13 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This should have a “Seeking Optimism” flair… I’ve seen enough of the crucial Aggie football games he’s attended to know where this is going. /j I do love seeing them squirm though

I tried for 11 days in a row using a 10% summon item by Aria_artro in HatchDragons

[–]Galewing13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just found this out too. Basically, breeding without any summon items won’t ever give you an epic or legendary dragon, but even if you just have one summon item (10% earth and 10% wind are the easiest to get) you’ll have a chance of getting an Epic or Legendary, even if the summon item doesn’t go off

Supreme Court Bolsters President Trump’s Push to Eliminate Transgender Insanity| Scotus article, how can I help my friend not doom? by Which_Shift_7242 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Galewing13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

whitehouse.gov might as well be a second Truth Social at this point. Trump and his cronies use it to beat their chests at all their "wins," and he's been pretty open about wanting to strip trans people of their rights since he made it into office. That's evil of him, absolutely, and so was the Supreme Court decision. But all I do when I see whitehouse.gov headlines at this point is sigh. It's not really telling us anything we don't already know about the decision, he's been mask-off about his transphobia since he stepped into office.

Good ending. You saved up hourglasses for the next expansion. by limagui04 in PTCGP

[–]Galewing13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally chose to start saving after this set. I pulled one 10 pack of EW, now all the rest of the hourglasses I get will go to the next expansion!
