I reject your opinion. Men shouldn't be dictating women's bodies and women shouldn't be dismissing men's feelings. Two wrongs, etc etc, I shouldn't have to explain this to an adult.

The fuel tax is appropriate I think. Larger vehicles that do more damage typically use more fuel, get taxed more. Smaller vehicles that do less damage get taxed less. Driving more gets taxed more. I think we lean into it rather than away.

Quadruple the fuel tax, throw the proceeds toward building out the fast charger network, incentivizing solar charging at home through tax incentive programs, and expanding access to public transit options. All while phasing out fuel subsidies completely.

Fuel only wins right now because it's entrenched and subsidized. My buddy pays $6 worth of electricity to fully charge his electric subaru overnight. Removing the thumb on the scale toward fuel use will cause the electrification movement to cascade.

Alright, guess we should pack it in. Failed the purity test. Can't make progress this time around folks, maybe next time we'll find a pure enough movement.

(I didn't see ANYTHING about Hands Off being pro-war or pro-Israel. But I guess not explicitly saying it's ANTI those things, means they're pro? Get the fuck outta here with your black and white thinking, asshole)

Electoral puritanism like this is a big part of why we now have concentration camps in America.

Thanks for that.

Fascists don't care whether or not you're a "fan of violence" when they decide you're someone who needs a lynching. If they weren't making a resurgence, these kinds of shirts/messages wouldn't be necessary. Alas...

I use my rifles for hunting. Some people like collecting and sport shooting. Some have theirs for self defense in higher crime areas because they can't afford better. So yeah?

Teach, don't preach. This things got a mind of it's own. If you know how to turn off my doppelwanger don't keep it to yourself.

I've gotten rock hard looking at sand. Fucking sand. Don't tell me we can control it.

That's quite the false equivalence you got there bud.

We've been buying vegan cheese due to a suspected lactose allergy in the family. I wish them the best of luck in making it better. Personally, not a fan of the current offerings.

You know exactly as much as I do about this hypothetical situation. Girlfriend cheats. Guy breaks up. Girl calls cops. Guy gets guns confiscated. If your argument is nothing more than "Well maybe he deserved it" you're an asshole.

I do. It's about dignity, respect, and our place in the universe. There's only so much you can do in life. I just butchered a few more birds last weekend. You always do your best, it's never easy, but if you want to eat meat as ethically as possible it's best to do it yourself. Thank the animal. Give it dignity and respect in death.

I'm probably just incredibly disillusioned and mad at the state of the world and the lack of nuance on the internet these days and taking it out on you. My apologies.

Go for a walk man. Internet's not doing you good today. I'll for for one, too.

If you won't fuck it, why would you eat it? Checkmate. Come on, man. You cannot honestly tell me those are even close to equivalent things.

Financially, culturally, technologically... no. We don't need red states. But we do need food.

And no way you only save $5, long as you only buy what you need. We got a sectional for $2k that would have cost $3k elsewhere, and far less than the $5500 LoveSac we were eyeballing.
