Something I'm seeing a lot is the statement "I'm not distancing myself because of political differences, I'm distancing myself because of moral differences"

Anyone who is happy at the expense of others losing rights, is not different from you politically, they're different from humanity, as far as basic ethics.

You're not selfish. You're strong. Stronger than me and I'm proud of you for trying to fight to help your dad, but please don't do it at your own expensive. I'm pan and non-monagamous but buried further in the closet than a cable that "definitely will be useful in the future" because my family would turn on me in a heartbeat.

Thank you! You're awesome

My friend is a lawyer and they've had their passport essentially confiscated by the government, instead of it being renewed. (They changed their gender) I am not optimistic, for the outcome, but it's oddly satisfying seeing a licensed attorney pissed off and going to bat. I hope they kick ass.

I can verify this! My roommate works for the DOD. He can't tell me much, but every federal worker has been warned they're going to be purged and replaced with staff Elon chooses. In addition, mandatory Return To Work orders have meant that many of his coworkers will be let go for "missing work" despite the fact that the military knows they moved and they've been working remotely for almost 5 years. It's skuzzy as fuck.

The thing that got me in this article was the idiot politician saying that "Christians are being targeted"... oh you dumb toddler... you don't like how it feels to be "discriminated against" and your solution is to target and discriminate?! An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Digital items, but Amazon intentionally makes them impossible to find. There's a ton of e-books and Audiobooks that are $0.01 - $0.05, but Amazon intentionally buries them under the "free with Kindle subscription" crap, so that people can't milk this without really putting in the effort

Please, don't say stuff like that... I've worked jobs where I loathed the company values, but I needed income... One charged more for funerals of "brown" people and had a book on the shelf of the manager's office that said "The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS". I'm pansexual and my partner is an immigrant. A job is not a belief. A job is a way to keep a roof over your head until you find a better one

Oh my goodness! So cute!

Some people have no regards for lives other than their own... and often get violent if a living being won't obey them. I'm a domestic abuse survivor, so there was no way I was gonna leave without him.

And thank you! He's dressed as Wolf Link. 😁 I am a cosplayer, and since he's my medical alert dog, he goes with me to comic cons.

Yes, porn is free, but the companies that host it are utter garbage. They pay next to nothing, claim ownership of the content, and don't care if a person is being exploited. Finding a person that you think is awesome/sexy and supporting their content means custom tailored and personal fun-times; that the adult content creator is the one who gets paid; and that it's unlikely they're being forced/pimped/trafficked.

Free porn is perfectly cromulent and there's a lot of variety; but if you can afford it, supporting a person is better overall. I used to create erotic cosplay photography for a living, so I'm all too familiar with how screwed up things are for sex workers.

I'm curious the feature.

I got sterilized because I have a painful, degenerative, genetic condition (with no cure), that I feel is too cruel to pass on. I won't risk letting a child be born with this syndrome, so I made the choice so I never have to deal with getting pregnant. If I ever want a kid, I'll adopt. (Doubtful. I can barely take care of myself like this)

Every day hurts, there's LOTS of days I wish I was aborted but I look at my rescue dog (who had been my service dog for 9 years now) and everything is OK. He was thrown away twice before I came along and his first owner kicked his teeth in. If I wasn't here, who knows what could have happened to him.

Pet Tax. You can see where his face was kicked, but nothing stops him from smiling
