The chemicals: water, salt, rice starch, sugar, vegetable oil, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, sodium triphosphate

Nothing concerning in that list, although the last two sound scary when if don’t know what they are

This happened in 2019

Make sure you get the Index controllers. 100% designed for them, and they make interscting with objects so much more natural

Avoiding scams is as easy as walking a single step. Yet almost everyone has tripped at least once in their life

We’re exposed to scams all the time, all it takes is falling for one of them. Have a little empathy, because it absolutely could be you one day

You’re assuming what they’re saying is true. Many other countries have those same safety features without their cars costing nearly as much

Just had a bit of a realization on this one. The point of this is for them to do nothing, isn’t it? Specifically blame it one something people will push back on (safety features), so they can throw up their hands and say, “we tried, but they won’t let us bring down the cost of cars!”

Does it cause mental illness, or do you need some level of mental illness to pursue that level of wealth?

Well this is concerning. It’s never a good sign when there is this level of infighting in an authoritarian regime. Usually an indicator that there are too many true believers in the top echelons of government. True believers are generally the ones most likely to commit atrocities in the name of their cause

I raised chickens for many years, and I was all ready to be able to weigh in on who was right. A darn shame they couldn’t give us more details

I think the part that bothers me the most is the fact Cuomo apparently paid for that slop?

I would guess they’re just trying really hard to avoid triggering Trump’s wrath. A discrimination lawsuit is comparatively small to the devastation you can get from running afoul of the most powerful dictator in history

Not only could the school and state potentially lose all federal education funding, but Trump may go after the school administrators personally. He’s been rather successful lately at going after anyone he disagrees with. Political opponents like Comey and Bolton. Judges like the Oregon one that blocked the National Guard deployments, or the immigration judges that refused to simply dismiss asylum cases without hearing them. Even just random individuals that happen to be negatively mentioned on Fox News have been increasingly under extra-judicial attack by the president

America is now a nation by, and for, Trump

If we were talking about an adult, I’d agree. To an 8th grader, the idea of playing on the girl’s team as a boy probably sounds like the world is ending

This isn’t a trans issue. It’s an absurd bureaucracy failing to function because of political incontinence

The problem is the Trump administration is pushing for this. They’re saying schools can only allow students to play on teams based on their assigned gender at birth. The federal government is using coercion to force states to comply

There is no specific law to follow, since it’s just based on the whims of the federal government. The punishment is withholding funding. There is to judge, jury, or courts of any kind involved. Simply the federal government refusing to release funding if they dislike what states are doing. The AZ law is comparatively toothless

The effect of this is the same as it always is with these types of capricious authoritarian governments: A chilling effect. Actors are overly cautious to avoid drawing the wrath of the powerful central government – Trump in this case

When you’re doing it matters a lot too. It was much easier before, but now that gender is a huge political football the process has been mucked up

Billionaires don’t live in their community and has no say in the local operations of their community. The purpose of a lawsuit is to 1) compensate victims, and 2) Discourage repeating the situation

Akins raped at least a dozen different children over more than a decade. That doesn’t happen without other people knowing about it, but they stayed silent. He received a rather lenient 15 year sentence. Without some additional punitive measure, it’ll just happen again. Townspeople didn’t seem to complain when he was raping children, but now they’re complaining that it’ll cost them money

At least now they’ll properly deal with sexual predators rather than ignoring the issue

It’s very tough. We’re not the only school district in Oklahoma that has faced this, and certainly none of the Ninnekah residents affected this situation

Yeah, we can tell no one affected it. That’s how dozens of victims stacked up over decades with no one doing anything about it. A predator doesn’t rape that many children without people knowing. None of those people cared until it might cost them money

I’m not a fan of the US lawsuit culture, but it seems money is the only thing Americans truly care about

I wouldn’t call it “just trolling”. He’s normalizing supporting Hitler. What he says and does has a tangible impact on the world. It allows bona fide Hitler supporting neo-Nazis to openly support Hitler, then just make the same claim as Jones when challenged

Once it gets normalized enough, they drop the plausible deniability

Do you mean the vanilla bean is a pain in the ass to grow? Vanilla is really easy to make from vanilla beans. Just use alcohol to extract the vanilla
