DeWine vetoes controversial bill banning trans kids from girls' sports and some medical treatments
  • What do you mean? Ohio isn’t a monolith, and it is increasingly progressive. We just voted to legalize marijuana and also voted to enshrine abortion rights in our state constitution this past November.

    Probably the only reason it even looks remotely red is because of how horribly gerrymandered our congressional districts are.

  • Dude I didn’t realize it was meant to be multiple movies when I watched it and was so pissed when it just ENDED right when I was most engaged in the story. Fuck now I’m mad about it again lol

  • Colorado GOP Threatens to Go Rogue If Trump Decision Stands
  • I think a lot of dems have decided it’s time to play the same game the republicans are playing. A sort of “if they won’t play by the rules, why should we?” mentality.

    I don’t know if I like or agree with that, but I can certainly understand why someone would make that choice. That’s what I was trying to get at with my previous comment.

  • Colorado GOP Threatens to Go Rogue If Trump Decision Stands
  • Every time I see/hear someone say this, I am reminded of the phrase, “You cannot reason someone out of a position they were not reasoned into”. It also doesn’t help that the republicans in power have shown us, over and over, that they are not acting/arguing in good faith.

    Having a reasonable conversation and trying to remain rational when faced with those two factors is very difficult, at best, and puts you at a significant disadvantage, at worst.

    That being said, I don’t really have any better ideas other than to stick to my ideals and try to be rational/reasonable.

  • Paris is saying ‘non’ to a US-style hellscape of supersized cars – and so should the rest of Europe
  • There’s more to consider than just “I am comfortable”, imo. Fuel economy, wear and tear on the roads, and safety (for you and those around you) are important factors as well.

    Bigger and heavier vehicles tend to have worse fuel economy. This not only costs the owner more money, but it also is worse for the environment. However, this may be an outgoing trend as more hybrid/electric pick up trucks and such are coming to market.

    Bigger and heavier vehicles cause more wear and tear on roadways. This, in turn, increases the frequency of required road maintenance (read: requires more tax revenue), or else the road may become treacherous to drive on.

    Bigger and heavier vehicles are proven to be safer (aside from rolling) for passengers in many regards - the size makes it safer for passengers inside the vehicle, since there is more car to take the impact before reaching the passengers. In a vehicle collision, the passengers in a heavier vehicle are safer than the lighter one, as the heavy vehicle will put more force on the lighter one. This is good for the passengers of the heavier vehicle, but much worse for the others.
