but if this kicks off it will be way scarier way fast with hospitals collapses and bodies rotting in houses, so maybe that’s enough

After everything, I would honestly just expect for reactionaries to claim its fake AI footage/images or whatever. Half this country threw a massive temper tantrum over simply being asked to wear a mask. I truly wish you’re right, but I have no hope left for anything even approaching a rational response if this does evolve into another pandemic.

Thank the gods for psilocybin

holy shit they’re actually doing it?? how will this not be a complete economic disaster?

being a consultant in this country has got to be the cushiest job on the planet

Yes! Sorry for the omission. It kills me that their reforms happened after the socialist bloc fell. Cuba’s and the GDR’s reforms would have likely promulgated throughout the socialist world given enough time and would have been a counterbalance to the false association of queer liberation with liberal “democracy.”

Friendly reminder that the only parties friendly to the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft and their proposed policies were the KPD and SPD, and that the Institut occasionally housed members of the Comintern. Socialists have been at the forefront of queer rights since the beginning. And even though the state socialist experiments of the 20th century largely fumbled the ball when it came to queer rights, the GDR got it right in their final years, only to have it all completely undone by the successor to Nazi Germany FRG. Queer Germans have still not regained the rights they lost when the FRG annexed the GDR over three decades ago.

So unless we were being lied to about outbreaks in other parts of the country

Surely they wouldn’t do such a thing?

…right?

Even if they did, the election was not remotely close

Funniest outcome tbh. reps doing mass voter fraud but it turns out it literally did not matter because of how hard the Dems ate shit

After everything that’s happened I would be genuinely surprised if even half this country bothered to take precautions for this one.

Saw one the other week that was the exact same blue as those blue dumpsters, was rather fitting lol

Dipping my toes back into Planetside 2 recently. The massive large scale combined arms battles are still incredible, such a shame there’s nothing else like it out there. Definitely been a considerable population drop since release, but it seems like a recent server merge is bringing some people back, and the servers seem quite populated during peak times. The only downside is that there’s only one continent open at a time because of the population though.

Kamala would’ve meant "states rights"ing trans rights, Trump means an acceleration of discrimination against trans people and likely federalization of the horrific laws we’ve seen passed in many states. They would certainly be the same otherwise, but to say people being sad about the outcome aren’t allies, especially given the demographics of this site, I think is a bit much. And before I get accused of being a liberal or a democrat for caring about losing the healthcare that has kept me alive faster than I would have under a Kamala admin, I voted PSL and was always going to vote PSL, but especially because of the genocide in Palestine. And just to clarify, people are upset about a Trump win, not a Kamala loss. She did everything in her power to lose as hard as possible and deserved it for open endorsement of genocide and tacking very hard to the right on just about everything.

Mr Belden says dairy are things associated with barnyard pregnancy, so by that logic, eggs are dairy.

Okay, that helps clear things up, thank you!

getting healthcare through the federal government

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don’t understand how any of this shit works. If I’m on a state healthcare plan, am I fucked if/when this goes through? Or is “healthcare through the federal government” stuff like the VA and whatnot? Obviously it’s a state plan but I don’t know if it relies on federal funding or anything.

Biden and Harris quite literally already did that though

lol this is a little dramatic. hexbear has been through far more intense internal struggles during its infancy and still survived. everything will eventually work itself out.

I can’t be bothered to make a throwaway account to say specifically, but there was a ballot measure in my state that was the only thing I cared about. Something that would have done a lot of good, but it was voted down, and now otherwise preventable harm and suffering will be the result. I cannot express how fucking upset and angry I am. I truly have a deep loathing for Americans. Just the most selfish, incurious, puritan savages to ever blight the surface of the planet who would rather clutch their pearls than do anything that would help someone who isn’t themselves. Death to fucking America.
