Idk I grew up with it in Indiana and Ohio

Ouch. Not wrong but ouch

What we really need is an increase in growler culture. I want to be able to bring my own bottle to a shop and have my beer/wine/liquor/soda/whatever dispensed and priced by volume from their keg/cask/dispenser. It was just a thing with beer when I lived in Kentucky and it’s something I wish was more of a thing where I live now. I’m sure it was partly due to their lax alcohol laws, but it was striking to see such an environmentally responsible habit in the heart of coal country

And because of that gerrymandering we often find an adverse relationship between the state government and the people. Last year’s big elections are a good example of it. The state was trying to ban abortion despite a consistent majority supporting it and the state wanted heavy regulation of marijuana despite a strong majority preference for recreational legalization. We had a direct democratic election that legalized both and the state government attempted to restrict them as much as possible anyways.

It’s Ohio, it’s the only way we ever get what we want

That wouldn’t be an official act as president. What would be an official act as president would be nuking mar a lago, calling a special forces strike on trump, or possibly even getting him sent to Guantanamo

A lot of old people have embraced the fascism

They hate me online more than irl. And I’m under the impression I’m generally well regarded online

Yeah well I was less scared when people weren’t openly hating my neighbors for being Jewish

Their criminal justice system leaves much to be desired in the mercy area

They need to know your height so they can tell you how the weather is up there

You cannot have a functioning industrial/post industrial society without a bureaucracy. The chevron deference was an acknowledgment of that

Hell, he wasn’t even the only one carrying his. He stumbled three times and a stranger helped him carry it

Ok as an ex catholic the level of sacreligiosity here is impressive. The cross isn’t the heavy bit, it’s heavy sure, he was tortured to death, but a stranger helped him carry it when he couldn’t carry it alone. The heavy bit was choosing to go be tortured to death for everyone including his killers. It was refusing to use divine power to save himself. The cross? No, a thief, a murderer, and a prophet died on that hill that day, each carried their cross, each died on it.

Protestants are fucking weird.

Yeah, as an Ohio trans woman, I’m post op and my choices in presentation are to look like a non passing trans woman, a woman without qualifiers (those two are just random which I’m perceived as), or I can try to look male and look like a bad drag king or like a non passing trans man.

Maybe people just need to get used to people like us existing in public

Fucking hell now I need to go yell at my representatives

Oh you’re actually that stupid, let me laugh harder

Constitutional originalists and spitting on common law, name a more iconic duo.

All originalists should have to explain why they’re doing something to Thomas Paine

So imagine you’re listening to rap. But you’re hard of hearing. The beats still slap, but the words aren’t intelligible. Hell the beats are even better because you got a subwoofer that shakes the floor. But you know it’s poetry, it’s about the words as much as the beats. So of course you’d want to read along

No it really isn’t. The hard of hearing are considered deaf. There’s complete deafness, much like there’s complete blindness, but the fact that you’re calling it hearing impairment instead of hard of hearing indicates you aren’t as well versed in Deafness (not to be confused with deafness) as you think
