That's not my idea of liberty at all. But you can't say the ballot box failed, just because the people elected the worst president in the history of people in suits.

Also, that whole thing is nonsense of the highest order.

the only time I was ever hesitant about a vaccine was the smallpox vaccine that they brought out just as I was enlisting. It was widly reported that it was risky to take, as it contained actual virus, rather than just the recognition bits.

In retrospect, I have no idea if the reporting was accurate, misinformed, or fearmongering. But at the time, it worried me.

Because we don't want them doing surge pricing.

We dont want a military coup. People really need to understand this.

No, we don't. But I might prefer it to another three years of Trump, followed by whatever fascist replaces him.

If there is a third option, I'm happy to consider it.

This is an abomination.

Put it in the pile with the others.

Is there some reason we want brands to join the conversation?

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 5 points 4 months ago

More or less. No bonus points for me, I guess.

You need some kind of cue to keep in step. If you can see the other guys feet, that helps, but often tinted you can't. The sound of yourself matching helps, but without some occasional cadence, or other governing factor, the speed of the match tends to change in a collective sort of way. My BMT platoon would get faster as we marched, unless the DI shouted at us occasionally.

Realistically, by way of being the political equivalent of a fleet-in-being.

Mostly, though, by way of ducking up anyone who looks like challenging our putative superiority.

Some of this makes a bit of sense, but it still leans heavily on perception by others, rather than respecting what people know about themselves. This does not seem to be what many transgender persons want.

I'll think about it.
