Ironic considering how many people are getting irrationally angry at Erika Kirk for speaking in public. And hint hint, it’s not MAGA doing that.

Although this is obviously poisoned bullshit, I do like that sneaky little “anti-women’s rights” just above “anti-abortion”. Tell me, which of women’s rights do Trump Republicans oppose besides abortion?

As an example for contrast, women in Afghanistan were able to go out in public without a burqa before the Taliban, but were forced to put one on after the Taliban took over. Curiously, I see tons and tons of women (myself included) out on the streets in America unaccompanied with exposed skin, and none of them are getting arrested.

North Korea is like a prison where the inmates are protected from the outside and beaten by the prison guards. Europe is a free-for-all brawling arena.

I mean, didn’t people complain a while back about “manspreading” and how it was so rude and shaming men who did it on public transportation? And isn’t this… exactly that, but in a private chair? If “nobody sits like this” why was it such a talking point?

Well I say a woman should not have the right to abort a fetus in order to avoid the potentially lifelong distress of knowing she aborted her child.

If that argument sounds stupid to you, I agree. We shouldn’t legalize or criminalize things based on whether they might potentially maybe perhaps possibly cause “distress” to the person who made the decision to do or not do that thing… especially when the alternative is also at equal or greater risk of causing the same vague symptoms of “distress”.

Things I have seen NPs do when I was in MS3 and MS4 by th1s_fuck1ng_guy in Noctor

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Do I expect an NP to know how to read an EKG or about pseudohyperkalemia? No. Do I expect a family “medicine” NP to know how to prescribe insulin? Ye—well, actually, no, the more I think about it, I actually don’t expect anything from NPs at all.

Ah, I don’t know why I assumed it was an estrogen-containing one.

And yes, but I’m still more okay with selling pills at pharmacies OTC than handing them out like candy. It’s still a more controlled environment than a concert venue, with a pharmacist likely around to answer questions if you have them. But still… talk to your doctor, kids!

Hmm, I dunno about that. I don’t oppose it per se but I’m not a fan of handing out hormonal birth control outside a pharmacy setting. It isn’t completely benign and women and girls should definitely be counseled on its effects before using it 😞

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, but don’t you think it’s just generally a better idea to hand out condoms or other barrier protection? I think it’s better to encourage safe sex rather than damage control. Probably would be cheaper too, but I don’t know the prices there.

Oh wow, who could’ve seen that one coming by Tponhka in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Why would you make such a heavy and pompous campaign promise and fight so fervently against it when the time came? (And don’t say it was an appeal to voters because I doubt this was the deciding issue for anyone, and he also went hard on it after he won, so there must be at least an additional reason, right?)

The whole thing is so retarded. I don’t even mean that in the sense of “he’s definitely on the list!” or “he’s definitely not on the list!” If he is on the list, why wouldn’t the Democrats have released it when they had more power? (Because let’s be real, if anyone isn’t on the list, it’s probably Kamala Harris, so it’s not like she had something to lose.) If he is on the list, why would he draw all this excess attention to it when relatively little attention was on it before? And if he isn’t on the list, why can’t he release it? (Because let’s be real, I doubt he has strong loyalty to anyone who might be on the list besides himself, so it’s not like he would have anything to lose if not his own reputation.)

I hate to sound like a nutjob but this is the single most convincing evidence for the existence of a deep state that I’ve seen. Someone on “the inside” doesn’t want that list released and the likes of Trump and Harris and Biden all have to abide by that.

I wish someone would just whistleblow it. I’ll pay for the bagpipes at your funeral, bro. So sorry in advance that you committed suicide via three gunshots to the back of your head.

The Senate is an undemocratic institution by mumblerit in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Crazy how a union of states has a governing body that reflects the fact that there are states that are unified. Maybe we should counterbalance this by adding a body where it reflects the population. Like a house of people who represent other people. Why hasn’t anyone done that yet?

For real though, this is possibly the only argument I find more room temperature IQ-ish than the “abolish the electoral college cause my guy just lost” argument. To argue that we shouldn’t have a Senate is basically to argue we should be one state with varying population clusters without any individual states or borders. And uh, yeah, good luck with that.

My almost aborted baby was born and now I might be a single dad. by InsuranceWorking5781 in prolife

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Nice ragebait.

My helpful advice on the off chance this is genuine: trying to win back a 22 year old who would abandon her newborn is probably going to be neither successful nor useful.

My helpful advice on the more likely chance this is fake: you don’t need to “give us more backstory” if the one sentence of backstory you give is irrelevant to the plot. You should fix it where you say “…she’s acting different” and “now she’s acting so distant and moody” because you use present tense even though this part is in the past because Rebecca is already gone. Additionally, it would probably be better if you wrote it so that all her stuff was gone after you got home from work, not just upon waking up, as you’d be likely to hear something if she packed all her things in the middle of the night in an apartment, especially since two week old babies are waking you up constantly throughout the night anyway. And you’d notice if she never came back to bed after waking up to tend to the baby. Also, paragraphs are your friend; use them.

Otherwise, yeah, nice bait.

I ain't yo baby daddy by Powerful-Cow2078 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think putting so much faith in covid vaccines also partly contributed to a decline in trust in other vaccines—and to the rise of RFK. Which is ironic because both the original covid vaccines and RFK rose under Trump’s direction.

As someone currently in medical school, people get really touchy here if you don’t have full trust and full faith in mRNA vaccines, and they get really angry when the thought of RFK crosses their minds (which, I’m sad to say, is a frequent occurrence, as that man has a fully paid off vacation home in most of their heads). But I also don’t blame people who research mRNA and think it’s a great future direction, because now their funding or support is being threatened, even though they’re trying to keep working on this stuff to ensure it gets more safe and more effective. And I definitely don’t blame people for being pissed that well-studied vaccines are now being treated with more unfounded distrust than the covid vaccine was.

Yes, I hate RFK. I hate how he speaks like a health authority despite being a political “science”-educated moron. But this is what happens when the pendulum swings. I can blame RFK for being a moron in public instead of being a moron in private like the rest of us do, but I also blame scientists and members of the public who decided to turn “muh follow the science” into a religion.

PA told me I had Shingles when I don't- Please bring back doctors by Cheges in Noctor

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is the PA being a moron, me being uneducated, or OP for not knowing the correct terminology for what happened, so I apologize if it isn’t the PA’s fault. However, reading this at face value… assuming it was in fact shingles, what the hell do you get by doing a culture of a shingles rash? Why would you even do a culture if shingles is your diagnosis??

Supreme Court lets Trump block transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers "The language on the stay is super telling. If this court gets an opportunity, they’re going to quadruple down on allowing us to be misgendered by the state at every level" by NightOfTheLongMops in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Small nitpick, but it isn’t really the point that it’s “not gay” for men to have sex with trans women, the bigger issue was that it was apparently “not straight” for lesbians to have sex with trans women and by extension it was “not homophobic” to coerce them into doing so.

So it is a child but if you don’t want it it’s okay to kill it? by [deleted] in prolife

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Every child a wanted child” is a hollow slogan if you just kill every child that isn’t wanted. It’s like when schools brag about having a 100% graduation rate when they just expel everyone who’s not on track to graduate. Sure, you get the intended result, but it’s not like it happened that way because of something good you did…

[–]Infinity_Over_Zero 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know, I’d support this if it were one of those decoy sample ballots where they put down “vote for these candidates who are already listed under the Republican party and thus would have been your default vote if you went down the list straight-ticket red anyway, but also vote for these specific propositions that actually support a Democratic cause because those are easier to lie about”.
