You don’t get to vote for the GOP and then complain that they’re not progressive enough. Vote for a fucking progressive if you want to get progressive policies enacted. Your lawmakers are doing exactly what you hired them to do… fucking over the people in every way possible. You’re just mad because you assumed you would be exempt from the fuckening.

That’s why drinking cures my depression. I kill a few brain cells to keep the rest in line.

“Here’s what my talking parrot thinks about this issue”. Great input, if I wanted to talk to a chatbot I’d do that. This isn’t a conversation, it’s meaningless noise regurgitated by a machine.

I never pretended to be a bride. I didn’t see many weddings as a kid, so probably not a lot of reason to latch onto that. Plus, pretending to be a princess is much better! Fancy dress, but more color options and you also get to boss people around. Also, no lame boys needed.

Does one need feet to kick?

Am I doing it right?

Dude just wants a little stability.

He’s such a long boi!

Just look at this skink!

My name is on Roman. If they cancel it I will be so fucking devastated.

Lights the world economy on fire, sits back with his buddies giggling about how stupid everyone else looks running around trying to put it out.

Why “burn” someone you just met? That just makes you an asshole.

You were too nice to minorities. Hate harder next time so the bigots will like us.

You mentioned space science, right? I’m an engineer at an aerospace company, feel free to message me if you want to chat about the industry, I’d love to help if I can.

Thanks for answering, and I’m sorry about the creep in the replies downplaying your advisor raping you. I believe you, and I know it can be especially difficult for people who are perceived as “masculine” to get support when they come forward about being assaulted. Many self-proclaimed feminists still uphold the patriarchy by embracing gender essentialism bullshit. All I can say is, people are imperfect, biases are tough to unlearn, and living up to our ideals is a constant battle against complacency. I still value those ideals (diversity, equity, and inclusion), and I’m sorry the so-called DEI committee at your university failed to embody them.

The aims of the tea party were bullshit, but you can’t argue with the effectiveness of their methods. The Democratic party needs to change direction, and the left can learn from how the tea party forced a change without being inauthentic political hacks.

So the DEI program wasn’t inclusive enough? Would the situation have been better without the DEI program? Just trying to understand the issue, typically DEI has the effect of increasing visibility but it sounds like you had the opposite experience.

The left failed to prevent a fascist takeover. Maybe we never had the power to prevent it, but how the hell do you know that if you’re unwilling to examine what happened? I want the enemies of fascism to get their shit together, but that requires discussing and admitting we did NOT do “everything right”. What a ridiculous thing to assert!

Then why does it matter if the left is divided? Not like the milquetoast liberals are going to be any help against fascists. They’ll start goosestepping with the rest of them once the writing’s on the wall.
