Read in good faith, this seems to be a prediction that conservatives will litigate against doctors who perform gender affirming care by leveraging clever wordplay: “converting” from one gender to another using hormones and surgery as “therapy”. It misses the point that “conversion therapy” is a very specific practice removed entirely from the concept of gender-affirming care.

My mother and father were separated by the time I started asking questions about sex. My mother was super open and cool about it. I got boxes of condoms from “Santa” every year between 12 and 18. My father found out I was ready for “the talk” when an unused condom fell from my pocket during the laundry. I had already been active for six months. Thankfully, I grew up in a very progressive school district, so our sex ed course was comprehensive.

Drugs were a very Regean-era “just say no” from both of them. Interestingly, my best education about drugs came from listening to Blood, Sugar Sex, Magic with my father. He used to wax romantic about the tortured artists that languished under the weight of their addiction; robbing the world of more music while inspiring such remarkable lamentations.

THE MAN IN GAUZE. THE MAN IN GAUZE.

Open denigration of them, Trans folks, women, Haitians, and all non-white Americans.

He is a severely silly person who should not be taken seriously about anything by anyone. Unfortunately, he is taken VERY seriously by a dangerous group of folks.

You chose… poorly.

So you killed one person? To save numerous others? When the others would’ve died through your inaction?

Curious.

I am also intrigued by Putin’s plan to take all our country’s conservatives.

So the federal government will hold a substantial amount of Bitcoin? Presumably by the Treasury? Who will make policy decisions and regulations about how the bitcoin can be held and distributed across the government? And this will be different than our current system because the money is in the computer now?

Ditto in Arizona. I get notifications when my ballot is mailed, received, and counted.

Just make the jokes while out of earshot.

No, I wouldn’t watch that interview. I, and I’d wager everyone else using the fediverse, am highly skeptical of large media institutions specifically because they engage in questionable journalistic practices like this.

My point is: there is no scandal here. It seems to me that this story is getting signal boosted specifically to discredit the president. The realities of interviews like this are left out of these headlines and it’s very frustrating.

Yes. I don’t personally understand what the story is here. I’ve never heard of any high-profile politician going into an scheduled interview without a team providing a list of approved questions.

That depends on the decay factor of one centaur to the next. If the centaurs shrink by anything more than a factor of two, then no. The creature will converge onto a single length.

I was going to ask for sauce, but the first result of DDG was enough proof for me.

It’s debian-based, but such an outlier from the rest of the linux ecosystem that it might as well be its own beast.

How do posters know why people buy their steam decks? I bought my steam deck because it runs linux, so their initial argument is kind of a non-starter

It’s a lot.

I don’t think it’s worth Kendrick’s time (or anyone’s) to respond to “your kid isn’t actually yours”. Not an attack on his character, not relevant to the discussion, and well-adjusted adults are able to move past this kind of infidelity.

Domestic violence would be fair game and definitely worthy of response. I’d be interested to hear what Kendrick has to say. His capacity for self-reflection was apparent in Mr Morale and it would make for a fascinating track. I do not hold out hope that we’ll see any real comments on this point on any diss track that comes from this beef. There are far too many easy targets for Kendrick to fire at and the subject deserves more than one or two lines in between verses calling Drake a pussy.
