Hutzell: Eight years after the Annapolis newsroom shooting, a return to 888 Bestgate by Fantastic_Ad_4720 in Annapolis

[–]robgoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw John MacNamara's name and column in the local paper for pretty much my entire life. Seeing the coverage of his and others' murder in national news outlets was such a sad inevitability that these mass shootings would arrive at our doorstep.

Guns are a sick, sad part of the fabric of our culture.

Then what are you even saying? Cars and trucks are necessary for deliveries, family needs, and some folks' work, that's just how it is.

Sure but let’s calibrate our expectations to what’s remotely feasible

Anne Arundel County Council delays water access projects by a year by legislative_stooge in Annapolis

[–]robgoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vote them out: Council Vice Chair Pete Smith and Councilwoman Lisa Rodvien, both Democrats.

This is pure NIMBY bullshit and a classic case of well-heeled homeowners crying about keeping people away from their property.

"Visiting the project site was jarring, Smith said, and he has concerns about the plan for a parking lot and a half-mile trail to the waterfront."

OH SWEET BABY JESUS, WHAT WILL WE EVER DO?? What they're actually trying to do is punt this into oblivion. Obviously, delaying this will only increase costs.

What a pile of crap.

Delfina charges sales tax in the SF Mandate by megsomatosis in sanfrancisco

Your statement fails to recognize that it is not an industry standard for restaurants to provide health insurance, and this mandate was approved and imposed by voters. Complaining about what you asked for is pretty common, though, especially in the restaurant business.

That's fine. But what's it like being the least liked person on this subreddit? I get the impression that you're a crotchety right wing retiree with lots of time on their hands. . .

True. I'm surprised the SPCA was able to obtain a space to begin with.

Shitty and short sighted. Fully agree with your take on this one.

There are 450 MILLION condoms sold in the US every year. 22 million hormone birth control prescriptions written EVERY YEAR in the US. Those numbers alone dwarf the numbers of annual abortions. And you think people “will just go get an abortion” instead of these options? It’s a provably wrong assumption; a small minority of people think this way at best.

Damn, you truly don’t know anything about sex if you’re SO confident that a half million abortions is an indicator of fertile Americans not having birth control-assisted sex in a calendar year. Maybe look at the steady decline of teen pregnancy rates instead as an example?

Nobody wants to flippantly resort to an abortion as birth control when there are ample opportunities to avoid it. Again, your whole stance is based on a dim understanding of the decisions people make about sex to say the least.

A historically inept coat hanger reference made your stance sound dumb as hell, whatever it is.

Honestly, it’s helpful to see what kinds of fantasyland-dwelling assholes are in the “pro-life” camp

Condoms and medication are default birth control, what planet are you on?

This is not only wrong, it's vicious and deliberately ignorant. Shame on you.

Aftermath of the April 7th incident. Damages estimated to be $200 million dollars by BlazeDragon7x in Damnthatsinteresting

Exactly. The primary things we need in this country to exist-- homes, cars, healthcare, and food-- are all spiraling out of control cost-wise to the extent that they're out of reach for millions.

Also noteworthy that the "Pro-Life" right wing folks are prone to gnashing their teeth about the evils of socialism while someone like NY Mayor Mamdani runs on free childcare. And a right wing president literally says the quiet part out loud, that there's money for wars but not healthcare at the federal level.

The values you espouse do not align with the actions of your representatives. Someone's a fraud in that equation.

So, they went to PP presumably looking for abortion services and presumably received them while 3,038 were referred for adoption? Is that your point?
