This is the first time I’ve seen what they plan for it to look like. Cheap-ass kitchen chairs, tacky table settings, random AI human-blobs. The ceilings, windows, and chandeliers all inspired by the historical period when slavery was still legal

Fiscal conservatives doing what they do best

I remember having BMI tests before training and once in boot camp, but not after I got to my first duty station. I was quite underweight when I was serving, but that was so long ago that I assumed they’d moved on to a better standard by now lol

It sounds like dipshit thinks BMI is a good standard for fitness measurement

The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration

Weird, all I’ve ever heard about is how high the suicide rate is among trans people, nothing about murder rate.

Also weird to consider “trans rights are human rights” to be nihilistic (Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals)

Edit: I meant as in trans people murdering other people. Trans people are overwhelmingly victims of violence than perpetrators

They do not contradict each other. I’m certain there will be more stops as the city grows, because they keep improving it. I used to live in a city, in another state, with one of the best public transportation systems in the country, and they also kept improving that system to include the surrounding cities in other counties. Just because something isn’t perfect already does not mean we can’t take it seriously and strive for perfection

It’s a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.

I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I’d cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn’t have public transportation. Now I can’t cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it’s so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess

Man, I never used fast food, or drive throughs as much as I have since I developed a mobility disorder. Last week I put a pickup order in at my local coffee shop out of habit, and couldn’t carry both my coffee and the breakfast sandwich to my car at the same time. Which sounds so stupid, but it took so much extra energy for both trips into the store that I was ready to go home and call it a day after that lol

I know the answer is “don’t get fast food and just eat at home”, but I’ve also been so tired after work/school that I’m not eating, and I dunno what the answer to that is either. My state isn’t a place where people think about how to care for their communities, and most of it has hours of highway between “cities”

Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there’s a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it’s white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people’s policies again.

That’s a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it’s so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too

Yeah, we went from the first flight to people on the moon in only 66 years. So there’s no real reason to cut into record profits now, they’ll have reversing it figured out by the time the collapse happens!

Wait, he was willing to take Greenland by force for their resources, and now he’s giving up America’s?? Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?

She is unfortunately having other medical problems. The steroid either isn’t working anymore or she forgets that she isn’t in pain/expects certain touches to be painful, I’m not sure which.

This cat has my whole heart. Like if soul mates could be pets, she’s mine.

Thank you for sharing, and understanding the struggle with giving our little loved ones the life and death they deserve. I’m sorry that you had to make that choice, but I’m glad that you had the strength to do so for her.

I think about my grandfather often since my little Ami has shown the same symptoms he had. I’ve always been so grateful that by the time the end came for him, it was quick, and I know that’s what he would have wanted. Perhaps that’s the view I need to keep for her

I had a cat with dementia when I was a kid, she didn’t make it past 7 years old. Now I have a 16yo cat who is starting to show the same signs. Today she nearly ran out of the house when I got home, and didn’t seem to recognize me. It’s rough.

She’s curled up next to me rn, but I’m still thinking those hard thoughts like when do I make the choice to put her to sleep? I’m not ready for that, maybe never will be, but she’s always been a very frightened cat and she doesn’t deserve to feel more frightened because of dementia.

Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is
