I used to oppose abortion long ago. Now I'm like: "Please leftists! Go get abortions! The more the merrier! Sterilize your children that somehow get born? So cool! That's sticking it to the patriarchy, you go grrl!" & etc.
I'm still of the opposite opinion. Convincing leftists to murder their own children is one of the tools the left uses to turn them into fanatics.
Even if their motives were not so iconoclastic, time resists such standardisation. The year, the lunar month and the day aren't whole number multiples of one another, let alone multiples that be neatly divided into weeks and seasons, so it's inevitably either going to be a mess or fall out of sync with reality.
Apparently the squirrel was killed because it bit one of the DEC employees, and you can't test a live squirrel for rabies. Which still says they're fucking incompetent - I've caught feral rats and mice by hand, and I've never given them the opportunity to bite me.
I don't believe them. If you're going to do that, you specifically do not want to use randomly generated results. Send everyone results of a 69,420-69,420 tie instead, so there's no way that they can be mistaken for a genuine result.
I've said it before, but there are interesting things you can do with pronouns in speculative fiction that cannot be done while this utter nonsense is sucking up all the air in the room. You can't have an ambassador who uses the royal we because he's the political avatar of his people when these retards will just interpret it as "OMG he's nonbinary!" and shout down everyone who disagrees.
This reminds me of something I read on the blog A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry, which was the simple observation that medieval people believed their religions, whereas George Martin writes a world that has the trappings of being medieval, but lets the villains perform un-medieval blasphemies without being brought to heel by the vengeful pious. Calling an all-father deity a transvestite should be highly offensive to all around at best, if not cause to step backwards out of the splash zone.
Their only comeback so far has been to accuse the entire Republican party and/or all Trump voters of being moon landing deniers.
We know who wants to tear down every single achievement of Western civilisation, and it's not the Republicans.
No, this is not racist, and neither is the reverse. If a white man dressed as Wesley Snipes as Blade it would be a statement of admiration for Wesley Snipes' work, just as this is a statement of admiration for Arnold Schwarzenegger's work.
Shot... Again: shot with a gun... over a half dozen puppies to death, in their cages, in the pet shop, to prevent owners from retrieving their puppies that had been rightfully purchased. All so that the owners wouldn't cross the illegally constructed internal boundaries.
Unless you're talking about a different event, it was fifteen dogs in a dog pound in Bourke, not half a dozen in a pet shop.
If I was Trump, I would have donated $1,000,000/1024 to the charity. For less than a thousand dollars he could goad the entire left-wing propaganda engine into running front page articles about how her claims of Native American ancestry are overblown.
Sure - gatekeeping means keeping them out of the chain of command. Being open source means they could create their own parallel command structure by forking the project, but it doesn't compel you to invite them into yours.
Apparently Cloudflare’s business model is something like the mafia’s
I remember this one, and I think Cloudflare was in the right.
The customer was creating trouble for Cloudflare by running an online casino using Cloudflare's cheap service. Doing this both risked poisoning Cloudflare's IP addresses by getting them banned for hosting an illegal website and potentially would get Cloudflare themselves in legal hot water since it's their name on the paperwork. At that point, Cloudflare would be 100% justified in banning the customer on the spot for brazenly violating their TOS in ways that would damage the company.
Instead, Cloudflare directed them to Cloudflare's expensive service. This service gives the customer more control over their plan, including the option to tie it to your own IP address instead of using Cloudflare's. Since it would be the customer's IP address at risk and the customer's name associated with the website, it would solve the problems on Cloudflare's end and thus they could reasonably say the expensive service is acceptable where the cheap service is not.
Cloudflare is guilty of bad optics by giving the banned customer the option to switch to the more expensive plan where Cloudflare's liability is removed, but the only alternative was to ban the customer outright.
Because a transsexual detransitioning means the kill switch didn't go off. The whole point is to get these people irreversibly hooked on postmodernist nonsense; they're not supposed to get better.
