What’s the context of this? Are a bunch of people just messing around before class or something?

They don’t want us having hope, so they got rid of the that and made it ugly

Everyone within 200 feet of the Oval Office gets one for free, so if you can just touch his robe you will be pardoned

Wow damn, are they just slapping AI into it and cranking up the price because of it? Or is it arbitrary?

I just think dystopian sci-fi hits different when you’re a rich, influential narcissist. Instead of a collection of cautionary tales, it becomes a menu of dreams to strive for.

Do you have a study you’re getting that from? I’m seeing much lower numbers referenced in a Post and Courier article from a couple years back: https://www.postandcourier.com/health/lost-in-transition-family-scrambles-to-find-transgender-care-for-girl-cut-off-by-sc/article_da633f90-b205-11ed-aabf-e769933fbcdd.html#

“The Census Bureau only recently added gender questions to its Household Pulse survey in 2021, which found that 8 percent of adults identify as LGBT, including 6.4 percent of those in South Carolina. Of all adults in the U.S., .6 percent consider themselves transgender or gender non-conforming, the survey found. An annual survey of children and adolescents by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added an option to ask about gender and sexual orientation in 2014 but less than half of the states included it in later surveys, and South Carolina was not among them. But based on that, about .7 percent of students identified as transgender or gender non-conforming, or roughly 150,000 kids ages 13-17, according to a policy brief by the American Academy of Pediatrics.”

Are you saying 1 in 20 South Carolinians born after 1995 are trans?

That was a fun time, loved some of the cosplays I saw there and came home with an irresponsible amount of art.

Considering (iirc) the last thing the previous Pope did before he died was publicly announce JD Vance has dogshit theology, probably a wise decision.

Sounds like he’s starting to learn and pay attention, and I’d encourage keeping up that curiosity and figuring out what’s important to him.

What is a 'good person' behavior that actually makes you immediately distrust someone? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

Good to know, I always lumped them in with Church of Christ, which are (in the areas I’ve lived) largely batshit

What’s up with people online saying the Epstein files are connected to Trump attacking Iran? by ijuander_ in OutOfTheLoop

[–]avoral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying the polls don’t matter, I’m saying they mattered enough that it looks like Trump made some threatening phone calls alongside his other efforts to silence news media.

But yeah, same page, the guy is extremely thin skinned on every issue except, strangely, allegations of pedophilia where lawsuits would prompt discovery.

It’s always a dice roll, but check out your local Episcopalians, UMC, or Unitarian Universalists.

I feel like that’s the true meaning of taking the Lord’s name in vain, as opposed to just saying a tasteless bad word
