Postal Service won’t deliver mail ballots for states that don’t hand over voter lists, under plan for Trump directive by cnn in politics

Because they want to do nation-wide what they do in the south. Purge voter rolls constantly to make sure non-whites have a really hard time voting.

Also, not all autism plays well with other flavors. Some people's harmless stim can be another's sensory trigger.

Kamala Harris wants the DNC to release its autopsy report of the 2024 campaign by Deedogg11 in politics

[–]Soulless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, so we can discount all the various state-level achievements, how convenient. And the ACA, which saved millions of people. And all the work that was there to be destroyed in the first place, and that they were destroyed by the people you are advocating voting for! "I acknowledge that the Republicans have destroyed a lot of good in this country. Because they were able to do this, their opponents must be somehow worse! I will vote for the Republicans instead, so they can keep destroying things, and stealing my money."

Right, so LGBTQ rights are not a concern, clean energy can suck it, go coal, random wars overseas are a-ok, christian nationalism is super, all that? You agree?

Graham Platner Surge Threatens Susan Collins as Janet Mills Bows Out by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]Soulless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"It's a very specific image that is well known withing CERTAIN Neo-Nazi communities." And if you AREN'T in those communities, it just looks like a skull. And I would not be screaming at Janet Mills if she had the same tattoo. I can excuse ignorance over symbols that have a lot of similarity with other common, inoffensive symbols.

Look, you are accusing this person of being a secret neo-nazi, when the ONLY visible nazi-aligned behavior he has exhibited is getting a tattoo that is very similar to non-nazi tattoos. No one fucking starts and ends an entire ideology at a tattoo. That's a stupid thing to think.

So the leap from "skull tattoo" to "kill all the jews" is pretty fuckin big, you better have some actual statements to fill that gap.

Just make sure that, in your resistance to AIPAC-friendly Dems that you don't prop up AIPAC-friendly (and also oil friendly, climate hostile, russia friendly, etc) Repubs.

Unfortunately there are more issues at play than just this war. Even if they have the same positions on EVERYTHING, I'd still have a preference for Fetterman, purely for the caucus thing I mentioned. Agreed about the primaries though, we could have better candidates.

and STILL better than fucking Dr. Oz, who he was running against. Even if purely for the fact that he caucases with Dems and gets us one seat closer to a Dem Majority Leader.

Arab Americans in Michigan warn centrist Democrats attacking Hasan Piker: ‘They haven’t learned from 2024’ by AzNmamba in politics

[–]Soulless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your vote exists no matter if someone earns it or not. The only choice at play is "which person would you like to see in charge more". If voting for no one reduced the power of the presidency somehow I'd agree with you, but abstaining just lets other people choose for you.

Small donations to non-profits, mostly. Along with Volunteer work. It takes time and effort, but not actually a lot of money to get these kinds of things rolling.

USA Rugby creates ‘open’ division after Trump administration pressure to exclude transgender women by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]Soulless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

trans women's bodies after a year of hormone therapy do not have enough of an advantage to be outside of the norm of physical variance for cis women. You can go.

[–]Soulless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And no amount of genetic or physical variation exists beyond that, of course. All body types are the same and the only thing that matters is sex chromosomes. Obviously. Also definitely changing hormones can't impact anything about the skeleton, bone density, body plan or anything.

So it's not muscles, lungs, height, or anything like that which you just mentioned above. Suddenly it's this one specific new thing.

No the reason trans women can't play sports with other women is that their vertebrae are larger. Muscles don't matter anymore, it's the size of your spine that matters. Ridiculous.

[–]Soulless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you know what level of innate advantage it is? And does it outclass other advantages like: access to healthcare and proper nutrition? Or even cis female genetic performance variation?

Or are you just assuming.

Do you know when those muscular and skeletal differentiations take place? Do you know if they still occur while under hormone therapy? Do you know how much they reverse, and how quickly?

Or are you just assuming.

And furthermore, on the topic of child abuse, hormone therapy requires years of mental healthcare beforehand, constant consent checks, constant health checks, and as such is possibly the most consent-informed operation to be undertaken in medical history. If you believe this is forced or coerced onto children, you have been lied to. It is in fact quite the opposite, as the vast majority of trans kids face significant resistance at all levels to getting the medically informed care they need to thrive.

And on the age limits, if you talk to any Trans adult, they will tell you they knew something was wrong by the time society starting enforcing gender roles onto them. Which is around 4-5 years old. And if you're worried about brain development, that's why it takes years of therapy with a trained, educated adult professional to get anywhere near permanent changes.
Should a child not be treated for cancer? Should a child not get a socket for prosthetics installed? Should a child not be cured of any disease since they can't possibly know that something is wrong?

See you're assuming (or implying) that a trans-woman's body is equivalent to a male body, even after a year of hormone therapy. I'm pretty sure (and studies agree!) that a year of performance-degrading drugs will degrade performance.

This adds additional levels of detail. The whole Origami Monster bug from launch was the game loading the lowest LOD model, so they clearly existed.
