You know what's hyper fucked?

Back when I was a baby republican (read: a parentally brainwashed child) and just learning about gerrymandering in school, my reaction was basically "well that's shitty, but at least it's the people I like doing it".

I'm pretty sure that's very common thinking amongst hardened republicans. I don't even know how you convince someone to not be like that either, I just changed when I was out from under my parents boot and finally allowed to learn about the political effects of racism.

Tldr; common think pattern leads me to believe Texas is fucked until reepublicans lose their power there.

Nurse joy please help, my onix has started saying racist things and getting really mad when he hears someone speak Spanish

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

That'll cost 500 dollars, plus 250 for the meds per day

[–] CriticalResist8@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Have you tried not letting it hear Spanish?

Hey it's my old district! The new one is still gerrymandered but at least I'm not in that smug pirate asshole's district any more

Dammit, I was sure the answer was "Blaine's weird arm from the manga" this time!

Why is it never the weird arm? That thing had some levels of body horror to it.

First arc from the manga was fucking wild.

Following arcs are way better in plot and everything, but the first one has a lot of stuff you wouldn’t expect from an official Pokémon product.
