In a weird coincidence a show came out in 2016 before the election called BrainDead and the plot was that alien bugs are eating parts of our brains and causing hyper partisanship.

I know this is probably a joke comment, but you’ve got me intrigued - how many trans girls do you know and how often do you compete if physical challenges? Are they of the Double Dare variety or are they more Olympic in nature? Do you allow them to train an come back for a rematch?

It may be an older term, but I’ve only started seeing it once I switched from Reddit. And I’ve never heard it outside of this website. I’m in my mid-40s as a frame of reference.
And I fully believe I could also have been living in a bubble, but I doubt I’m alone.

What a great point. The regulations that are “acceptable “ are all about protecting the corporations.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this song. And it is a real feeling that people have.

But it is also just whining.

The way he goes from talking about people without anything to eat and then talks about how someone that poor and fat shouldn’t eat a fudge round just seems to be a confused message.

Except it does say “from others”. Highlighting “can” just shows that this spell gives you the ability to do so. Another way of writing the text would be “The touch of your shadow wreathed hand gives you the ability to siphon life force from others”

If we are talking just filling up - I went from $200/month with gasoline to $15-20/ month with my ev and charging at home. Obviously YMMV

The mods to fix bloodlines turned it into a fantastic experience. Did not expect to be thinking about reinstalling that today, but here we are!

Having much of my family being republican, I think you are leaving out an important piece of the puzzle - fear.

Republicans are terrified all the time. Fear of the other, fear that how they grew up and the people they know are being called wrong for what they think and say. It manifests through anger.

If they can knock you down then you are weak and wrong and they are justified in doing it.

A place in Austin texas called Via 313. It is fantastic pizza!

I don’t think the original Star Wars trilogy holds up well. It takes too long for the scenes to unfold and feels more monotonous than I remember it feeling when I watched it in my youth.
