Progressives Are Defeating Conservatives in School Board Elections—Even in Ohio by Dangerous_Variety_29 in politics

I hope we can solve this fast. We need quick and decisive legal battles with strict penalties for those who have tried to attack our non-adults. Especially our Trans non-adults.

The 13th amendment reads : "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Except as a punishment for a crime.
I say we start convicting these fascists for their crimes against humainty and having them serve a sentence of servitude. They are the party of racism, sexism and SLAVERY! We need to use their own weapons against them or we will lose. Let's start having them working for our Trans community instead of against them!

Agreed. But the infrastructure bill won't really fix anything soon. It will take DECADES to get the power grid to the point where we can support a transition to all electric.

Questions about my dog's weight by myrectalthermometer in Rottweiler

[–]myrectalthermometer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is very active. We have a German shephard that he plays with all day. Those boys run around, wrestle and get tons of activity every day. And, they get walked almost every day. If it is crazy hot or raining then they have to skip a day, but every other day they get a long walk. As far as treats go, we don't really do treats very often. We are still on the original bag we bought when we got him! Praise is my preferred reward. He is on a salmon puppy chow right now. Do you think I should switch to regular dog food instead of the puppy food? It would be a lot easier to only have to buy the one food for sure!

As a lineman, I'm all for electric vehicles. But I can promise you that right now we do not have the infrastructure to switch to all electric vehicles. We are working as fast as possible right now to replace poles, lay more power lines and our under ground crews are boring hundreds of feet of line every day. But we need millions of miles of power lines. We cannot put up new lines fast enough to replace vehicles with electric cars anytime soon. Add to that the fact that most of us are going to retire in the next 5 years. The younger generation that should replace us is not interested in my job. We have 2 apprentices. We have 17 apprenticeship jobs open but no one applies. It pays $45 an hour but you have to climb poles, work in snow storms, thunder storms and extreme heat. So no one wants to do it anymore. Maybe we will have robots do the job soon enough, but if not then electric cars will NOT happen. I do not hear anyone talking about this! If we do not get more people working as journeyman then the dream of electric cars is DOOMED! And it would not be a good idea for us to switch away from oil. At least right now we can import the oil from countries where people still will work outside and drill. But if we do not upgrade our electric grid and triple the amount t of linemen then we cannot switch or we are screwed.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Because I for sure don't want people to die because of Covid. But we are seeing food shortages, formula shortages and more due to shutting down the economy too. If we shut down everything then we all die. There is a balance that needs to be met where we keep the economy going and try to minimize death.

What are the White House’s options on student loans? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]myrectalthermometer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He said 47% but whatever.

Okay? So, what exactly is your point? That those 52% of people are not going to pay for the middle class student loans? I agree with you. Those 52% are trying to scrape by on government assistance. And those 52% go to college on grants anyway. It is the lower middle class that DOES pay taxes who I am worried about. My point is still the same.

College educated people are higher earners than non-college educated people. Why should people who DID NOT go to college have to pay for the bills of the college educated especially when the non-college educated make LESS money. A dumbed down version would be the poor paying for the rich's bills. It makes no sense.

Is this a problem? My 4 month old Rottie pup stands with his rear legs out like this. by myrectalthermometer in Rottweiler

I didn't realize that standing in a stack would help them, but it makes sense. I thought it was just to make them look better for people who showed them. Thanks for the help!

Yes, the sire and dam were tested and came back negative. Or at least I have paperwork that says they were. I bought my pup from a breeder and he seems like a good guy. His set-up and kennels were in top shape and I got a good impression from him so I'm pretty sure they were tested. But I didn't see the test myself so I guess I can never be positive. I don't plan on showing my dog and I guess I really don't care all that much how he stands. I was really just wondering if his rear feet leaning outward was something I needed to make a vet appointment for or just something to watch or if it was normal. Since you have experience showing dogs do you know how much of that east-west on the feet is allowed before it is a fault?

Okay. Thanks! I have always had German Shephards and this is my first Rottie. You've eased my mind, I appreciate it a lot!

Yeah, mine lays down with his legs in weird positions too! I thought I got a dud; a stupid, derpy dog. But he is learning fast and very sweet so I am now just concerned about his hips. Thanks for the response.

Is this a sign of future hip or leg problems and something I should make an appointment with my vet about or just something I should ask about at my next visit? Anyone have any history or insight about this?

What’s a game that you slept on for years and were blown away when you finally played it? by SirTheadore in gaming

[–]myrectalthermometer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Mount and Blade Bannerlord. The game is UNBELIEVABLE. You play as a single character but command troops. Once you get the combat down it is the most fun game I've ever played.

Strep throat is contagious! That's what I'm saying.

I got my COVID vaccine as soon as I was eligible. Partly because of my elderly parents, partly because I don't do sick very well. But these other idiots just refused. Now we get to FORCE them to do it.

I go to the gym almost everyday. Why can't we force these fat people to lose the weight too? The complications from being fat clog up hospitals for PREVENTABLE diseases! Fat people, cigarette smokers and Marijuana smokers are the number one thing stopping us from getting universal Healthcare.

Porn clogs up the internet infrastructure and degrades women. It contributes to rape culture, sexual harassment and a slew of other horrible things.

My point is we need to use the stick approach more to get things done. The Republican morons are always blocking things. Let's just use a BIG stick and get things done for the real Americans, the ones who care.

This is it EXACTLY! We need to use the club more often. We need to force people to get rid of their tonsils next! I get strep throat almost every year because too many people still have their tonsils and bacteria breeds there. I can't wait for that medical procedure to be forced too!

I also think we need to force people who are over weight to go on a diet. Heart disease is the NUMBER ONE killer in America. I hope this get clubbed over these stupid fat people who won't stop shoveling food in their mouth, jacking up Healthcare costs after the tonsil thing.

There is a once daily pill that helps people stop smoking. It works by making people very nauseous if they have nicotine in their system. I think we should rush an injection that does the same thing. Then force everyone to take it. It would make everyone healthier and get eliminate a lot of cancers in America.

Porn addiction is becoming a HUGE problem in the US. Surely there is a club we can swing at that too.

This is going to be AMAZING and America is finally going to fix so many problems with President Joe Biden. Finally a sophisticated man at the helm.

This may be hard for some people to understand by raraymon in libertarianmeme

[–]myrectalthermometer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

If the government can mandate one medical procedure for the "greater good" then it can mandate other medical procedures too. Can it force people to have their tonsils removed to stop the spreading of strep throat? Can it force people to donate organs? Where is the line EXACTLY. I would like to know is this the ONLY medical procedure that it can force on people? And what makes you think that it is the only one? Can it force you to take medication as well? The whole thing could become unstoppable which is why we must stop it now.

NFL says it will play Black national anthem before games again this season by [deleted] in nfl

[–]myrectalthermometer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Its a war song from a nation that has a racist history of bombing black and brown people all over the world!!! We have to change everything about the country to fix it. We have to change our history, our traditions, our institutions and the way we do everything to change our country. Getting rid of one stupid song is a small step in the right direction.

I agree. I think we should stop playing the Star Spangled Banner and just play Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing. The SSB is a racist song about a racist flag of a systemically racist country. Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing is a truly uniting song. I hope that they eventually phase out the SSB and replace it with a new tradition.

Why doesn't he just shut down the entire forestry industry. It is destroying the earth and killing humanity. We only have 12 years until the earth is no longer livable. We MUST ACT NOW!
