I’ll judge, that is a dumb as fuck.

It seems easier to just go buy a live chicken.

I’m not going to entertain Russian trolls. The majority of Americans did not vote for Trump, and the vast majority of those who did likely wouldn’t agree with a wholesale dismantling of their government. The ones that do agree can fuck right off for thinking Trump has any interest in their lives or wellbeing.

Meanwhile the federal government is running on a skeleton crew and millions of people get screwed over or go hungry or die.

Yes, and if it interferes with social, work, or home life it can be more than just mentally taxing.

I don’t have any tattoos, but if I ever got one it would be 4 small circles. Three would be filled in and one would be just an outline. It’s not much, but as a father of four pregnancies but three kids it would be a small little reminder just for me. My logic has always been if I’m going to be marked on the outside, it should reflect how I’m marked on the inside.

Four years later it still stings. I wish you peace; I wish I could say talking about it with other people has helped, but I can’t.

Previous administrations have used special government funds that are dedicated to the transition and inauguration. This comes with obvious restrictions and ethics requirements since it is taxpayer money.

Trump has decided to not use this money and get donations instead, which allows him and his incoming administration to skirt the normal mandatory reporting, disclosures, and rules.

Pretty sure ants are already sentient, but I like it.

Edit: apparently ant sentience is somewhat hotly debated, and the current understanding of ant consciousness and metacognition is murky.

Oregon has entirely mail-in voting, since the 1990s. Good luck getting us to give it up.
