I forgot my peaches
Good thing we always have old faithful- racism and sexism. That’ll swing those undecideds.
At work, both the resident Gen-X divorced-dad asshole and the luddite boomer have taken to complaining that “We’re all going to be called racists and misogynists for not voting for Kamala” while grousing about hating her more than Biden, never once mentioning a single point of policy that they dislike.
No, Mike Pence debated Harris in the previous election cycle. It’s tradition for the Vice-Presidential nominees to debate each other.
Both lawsuits argue that Tennessee law does not account for evolving science on the transmission of HIV or precautions that prevent its spread, like use of condoms. Both lawsuits also argue that labeling a person as a sex offender because of HIV unfairly limits where they can live and work and stops them from being alone with grandchildren or minor relatives.
“Tennessee’s Aggravated Prostitution statute is the only law in the nation that treats people living with HIV who engage in any sex work, even risk-free encounters, as ‘violent sex offenders’ subjected to lifetime registration,” the ACLU lawsuit states.
“That individuals living with HIV are treated so differently can only be understood as a remnant of the profoundly prejudiced early response to the AIDS epidemic.”
Her motivations aren’t even as noble as that. The article goes on to describe how she’s actually just trying to undercut a proposed constitutional amendment:
But Ms. Bolick also railed against Planned Parenthood and Democratic support for abortion rights. She argued that her vote to repeal the 1864 ban could be Arizona’s best shot at curbing the momentum behind a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution.
Insulting someone via stereotype doesn’t show that they’re wrong. You’ve added less to the discussion than the person you’re attempting to mock.
The ones who think either fossils are a test of your faith by god or dinos roamed the earth with humans.
FWIW, the vast majority of YECs fall into the latter category because, while the timeline of dinosaurs is explicitly contradicted by their interpretation of the Bible, the existence of dinosaurs isn’t. Remember the guy who had that famous debate with Bill Nye? The venue for that debate was a “Creation Museum” featuring life-size animatronic dinosaurs living with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. It’s the same organization that spent ~$100 million to build a 500-foot-long replica of Noah’s Ark in Kentucky, featuring dinosaurs in pens aboard the Ark (“Don’t worry guys, Noah probably took baby sauropods so there’s plenty of room for them on board”).
Creationist organizations lean hard into dinosaurs as an outreach tool because everybody agrees they’re awesome. They’d probably wax poetic about how amazing these creatures of God’s creation were, lament that the dinos we’re seeing in AR are a pale imitation of the dinos our Biblical ancestors saw in real life, and then condescendingly rant about how “secular science” is trying to drive a wedge between mankind and Biblical truth with its assumptions about “millions of years.”
Not quite. All two-body systems orbit a common barycenter, but the mass ratio of the Earth-Moon system is so lopsided that the barycenter is inside the Earth, not between them like with Pluto and Charon.
Geez, the Bible sure does say a lot of needlessly nasty and hateful things that are used by religious bigots as justification for their cruel actions—almost like it’s the flawed product of ancient human cultures and their outdated values, and not a timeless divinely-inspired message from a perfect, unchanging, infinitely-wise being who loves and cares deeply about every single human being.
No, because absolute size is not what makes a moon a moon. Our Moon is a moon because it directly orbits a planet, not a star. Charon is massive enough relative to Pluto that the former does not directly orbit the latter, but instead they both orbit a common barycenter located between them, making them a binary planetary system.
The article says she has grandchildren, so her genes are still very much out there. Natural selection only works if it can get to you before you reproduce.
I just want the “hard-g because graphical” crowd to really commit to the bit and start insisting that JPEG be pronounced “jay-feg” because of “photographic.”
Notice also how their go-to response is to talk about their right to vote for third-party candidates, which is a strawman of the criticism they typically receive. They can’t and don’t engage the actual substance of criticism, which is that voting third-party under our first-past-the-post system is a bad plan that has a proven track record of accomplishing absolutely nothing.
