Its also necessary. Americans made this shitstorm of a litigious society themselves.

They paid for their insurance, why wouldnt they use it and protect themselves?

I have never once seen a pay scale that has seperate grades for women. The "women make less" statistic is weighted by women taking time off to raise children, that they are more likely to be primary caregivers and less able to do overtime and so on. (Which yes does figure into the problem)

That isnt to say that in jobs where staff can negotiate their own salary or recieve offers there IS DEFINITELY a problem with women recieving lower offers. Also being offered less chances for advancement, etc. But there isnt a company that would ever have the balls to deliberately put a lower pay scale for women on paper these days.

Hate to break it to you, we're still near the top of the heap.

Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of "Oh, THIS is white privilege" like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I'm straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I'll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.

I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

Generally yes, but sometimes...

The Martian was a great book and a GREAT movie. Ridley Scott made visuals better than my imagination.

Honestly, I think I've hit my fuck-it point.

Whats the point of trying to stay informed, be aware of the world and make change anymore? The loudest idiot wins, facts dont matter, lives dont matter, right and wrong doesnt matter.

I think I'm done. I might play a game I dont really own in a house I can barely afford and just try to enjoy myself because taking all this shit seriously is gonna give me a fuckin aneurysm... I'm tired boss.

It was Martin Prince vs Bart Simpson.

She ran a traditional campaign on issues, Trump got them chanting "More asbestos" difference is they voted.

The Dems need to realise that this is now a popularity contest and you have to fight a cult of personality with a cult of personality.

Its all a very complex equation of quality vs additives vs effort vs cost vs time vs storability vs fridge life vs convenience.

Some stuff is just too much or too little of some of them.

I think if he loses theres a good chance that the people behind him will knock him off.

You know what works better than a hero? A martyr.
