Which is, quite frankly, an argument that holds some weight if you’re concerned about splitting hairs regarding religious purity (and it’s an argument that’s been going on for a very long time). I won’t be surprised if we wind up with a schism and official American Christian Church out of all this.

Reasonable “death with dignity” options would erase the need for such drastic measures but of course the Christian Nationalists hate that kind of thing.

I’m a lot more worried about agriculture and golf course water usage (and runoff) than I am the shower gallons.

…You can’t raise your arms or bend over slightly? Even a garbage motel shower can hit all my bits. Plus we have soap and washcloths here, or loofahs or those plastic poof things if that’s more your style. If you’re relying on water pressure rather than the surfactant properties of soap I suggest you get off your hygienic high-horse.

MAGA supporters don’t care about Lady Liberty. She’s a Big City Liberal with a woke sissy poem about letting in illegals.

If you actually believed that you wouldn’t be here.

I’d rather walk in front of a bus than die in a nursing home, frankly. Wasting away unable to care for myself seems uniquely miserable.

Both of those specifically are also found in Mexico, funnily enough.

Tex-Mex is “actual” Mexican food, the cuisine formed from the Tejanos and is older than either Texas or Mexico. Mexico is a big place with lots of regional variation. Most Mexican food that Americans are familiar with is from or inspired by stuff near the border (which makes sense) with a mix from all over the country like mole, birria, and tequila.

There’s over 1.5 billion people there and the British Empire connection means they’re in the Anglosphere media. By raw numbers yes of course there’s a lot of crime, there’s a lot of pretty much everything.

That’s basically my problem with the term “LGBT(Q(IA(+)))” but as a basically straight white dude my input has very little weight. I think SAGA is cleaner (Sexuality And Gender Acceptance/Alliance), covers all the bases while being a pronounceable word with a poetic meaning. “Queer” works too but has too much baggage in some regions.

Worry about what you have control over, prepare for the rest.

From the outside: it’s all fucking crazy no matter how you spin it.

It’s not a monopoly, they simply have the best digital storefront so everyone uses it.

Pretty big difference between preening and rubbing their cloaca on stuff. Ever had a budgie try and fuck your hand?

The division was already there it’s just easy to not hear it when queer people are too afraid to be visible.

And now they’re being funded by fascists so it’s the same thing but without the normalization of queer people.

The A stands for “all” not “American”.

Poe’s Law from the top rope.

the lives of my partner and kids is worth more than your inconvenience.

But not worth more than your inconvenience or you’d just slow down when you can’t see as well.
