Even ignoring the primary argument of bodily autonomy, you can’t be pro-life without being superstitious and anti-science. Being pro-science allows you to base your opinion on things like viability and brain activity instead of things like conception and heartbeat which are meaningless outside of religious nonsense.

What are you worried about? This is 1874…you can sue her.

Regulatory capture, it’s a problem through the government. Decades ago U.S. regulatory agencies were well respected around the world, to the point where if a U.S. body approved something, many other countries automatically followed. Now they’re a joke, taking orders from the industries they are supposed to oversee.

It’s not even just cheapo stuff anymore. They’ve really stepped up their game in the last several years, with ICE and a good range of EVs. I know a few people that have Hyundai EVs, and they all love them.
Their Genesis badge is also legit luxury. I would say they might be the best value in luxury cars right now because they can’t yet command the price the more established brands can.
These aren’t the shitty tin cans I grew up seeing. If you’re looking for a new car don’t dismiss KIA/Hyundai/Genesis without checking them out.

All covered in the link. The addition of January and February and later moving the new year from March to January is the reason Sept-Dec are no longer the seventh-tenth months. Not July and August, which were renamings, not additions.
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 4 weeks ago:
That’s a common misconception. For the Romans, the year used to start with March and only have ten months. January and February weren’t even named. Several calendar changes followed over the centuries. Adding two months. Moving the new year to January, which made September-December no longer 7-10. Adding random one off months to realign with the seasons. And a couple different tries at leap days.

Florida is beautiful. It’s a damn shame about the culture that’s developed there.
- Comment on Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed 1 month ago:
It’d be a damn shame if everyone started putting pixelfed at the end of every message to both deny threads content and create a Streisand effect.

Damn straight, don’t forget our ancient enemies.
