A slight majority of American support it. I, for one, do not. The margin of error is terrible and the govt is all too willing to cover up its mistakes.

Back in the paper spam days, some folk would stuff the "postage paid" envelopes with junk and mail them back to troll the companies. Setting up a junk address with an autoresponder would be pleasing, but probably would get tagged illegal.

Realistically is more or less encoded "without ending the collusion between Democrats and Republicans." As it stands, the system is designed to reinforce their duopolistic control... and their followers, more concerned with winning than with fundamental human rights, allow it to continue.

Not quite, but pretty close. You still hold copyrights in anything protected by copyright for example. They just have a perpetual license to use your work. We really ought to be working on laws to protect privacy and limit corp content piracy without explicitly clear opt-ins.

The sad day when the "good" choice "only" supports a systematic ethnic cleansing campaign, in deed if not in speech.

Biden is entirely beatable, but it would take Democrats stepping up and nominating a candidate that wasn't the equivalent of soggy toast.

You know, aside from there being litttle merit to their claims and all. Israel is about as trustworthy as North Korea when it comes to their systematic ethnic cleansing.

But let's assume they were telling the truth, as genocidal ethnic cleansing monsters are prone to doing.

13 employees of 30,000 were accused of aiding HAMAS. That's 13 / 30000, or 0.0043% of the employees. Do tell me how that's sufficient justification to bar aid for millions.

Hint: It isn't, unless you are using it as a pretext.

You know what else is over the top, you evil old fuck? Cutting off 350 million in aid to refugees because Israel lied and claimed relief workers were HAMAS.

Biden is banking on his sycophants taking him at his utterly worthless word.

He misspoke.

He meant "total genocide."

That healthcare bit hit home. Been trying to get treatment for 9 months. Docs spent a lot of my money doing nothing. I got tired of trusting, read peer journals, put together my own plan using promising options, have the first actual sustained relief I've seen since last May.

$100 OTC versus like $6000 in tests, scans, and fuckery.

I guess it beats the NHS, partner can't even get seen for a fractured vertebrae. "Do PT first."

And those prices do not go below the cost to run those properties, which has gone up significantly. But of course, it's easy to ignore the millions of people struggling if your goal is to put a shine on a rich politician with no real insight into thier struggles.

Bisexual is defined as attraction to more than one gender, where gender is a component of the attraction. So if you 96% like one gender, 3% another, and 1% yet another, that's bi. If you're 60/40, that's bi too. Bi = multiple genders where gender plays a factor. It has never meant only 50/50.

Pansexual is attraction to people where gender doesn't play a role. Pansexuals' patterns may look like a bisexual's patterns because they date across genders, but the attraction matrix is different.

Finsexual (Gynesexual) is attracted to feminine traits generally. Whether penis or vagina, it is the femininity they like. I can speak to this as this is me. I like feminity, not necessarily women particularly. I use bisexual as shorthand because most people "get" that.

You may be finsexual:

Basically, finsexuals are attracted to feminine presenting people independent of sex or gender. If I understood you correctly, its the feminine presentation that appeals to you?
