Eh, it’s not just BBQ tho. Houston is America’s most international city and you can find restaurants serving cuisines from around the world all fighting tooth and nail to prove thselves against the competition. The Cajun, Tex-Mex, and Southwest American food is amazing. Some of the best Greek, Thai, and Indian I’ve ever tried, the only fancy Irish pub I’ve ever tried (try the Guiness Stew at McGonigals Mucky Duck), not to mention almost everything else from late-night Italian delivery to a literal Russian bar to an Ethiopian eatery. Want Phó, a street taco, sushi, and a slice of pizza after watching the game at a sports bar? They’re all just minutes away and they’re all great!

HRT is not required, but I’m glad that the “yet” expresses your intention there. Get it, queen! Manifest that self of yours! =D

I’d love for the Dems to start acting like an actual opposition party, but they’re owned by the same billionaires and not much has changed in the ten years since the party took a collective shit on Bernie so Hillary Clinton could have “Her Turn” like it was owed to her.

Vote however you want, but you have to do more than just vote if you want anything to change.

You look amazing~<3

Only if you’re using the Chrome extension, maybe. This is just Google trying to kill even the memory of Google Reader by fucking with the biggest competitor to social media in Chrome.

Now there’s a euphemism. XD

It’s the organization and collective action that are important. The protest is just a chance to demonstrate how many people are aligned on the topic enough to spend the day proving they can’t be ignored. You have to do the organizing and action outside of the protests too, just be careful about who you trust.

Exactly as predicted back in late 2014 when it became obvious that the party was going to throw an entire election just to keep Sanders from winning the primary.

They’d shit the bed, Trump would win 2016, backlash to Trump would carry a nothingburger Dem to win 2020, their fecklessness would turn off enough folks to give away 2024 for Trump’s second term, and now we’ve reached the time of monsters where the future depends on whether the kind of folks who go to No Kings protests can be organized into a general strike.

“Smart” TVs should be kept off the internet and only used as video output for actual computers.

IMO (and IANAL especially not of constitutional law) the executive branch has to prove to the courts that it has a compelling interest to keep such registries and that its need is such that less invasive recordkeeping would not serve that justifiable purpose. E.G., it needs a registry of voters to determine if someone is eligible to vote and in which jurisdiction, because without it the pollworkers would have no way to tell.

Under Strict Scrutiny, laws enabling such registries must be “narrowly tailored” (E.G., voter registration doesn’t need to know how much taxes you pay and your tax record doesn’t need to know which party you’re registered to) and employs the “least restrictive means” necessary to satisfy its compelling interest (E.G., they can’t charge you a fee to update your voter registration and there will always be a free option for filing your tax paperwork).

Keeping lists of trans folks serves no compelling interest, is not narrowly tailored to the interests it supposedly serves, and there isn’t even a civil means of determining whether or not one is on the list (to say nothing of correcting it for the folks that have undoubtedly been added to it in error). As such, it is prima facie unconstitutional.

Even the lowest bar of constitutional scrutiny, “Rational Basis”, would require that the law allowing the list be “rationally related” to a “legitimate goverent interest”, and I can’t think of anything less legitimate or rational than a government’s claimed need to get into everyone’s pants.

Though, I would be disappointed if I was the only furry present. That said, it would be kinda hard to be the only fursuiter at a Pride event small enough not to have at least one furry or adjacent queer person there to appreciate it.

4th Amendment, the right against unreasonable searches.

This is obvious when you consider that “Conservatives” are more offended that trans people like myself might use a public restroom than the fact that ICE is running concentration camps and separating families from their children.

I believe you not making a good faith statement there, and instead trying to straw man the perspective you disagree with because your emotional about this and stereotyping people is the easy way out of self reflection. Why the statement is more or less true, I think your heart posture is one of anger, rather than empathy. (I know that’s a very judgy statement, and it could be wrong.)

Literal.

Concentration.

Camps.

For children.

Don’t talk to me about my heart, why isn’t yours bleeding? How dare you call yourself a Christian?

My grandma (God rest her soul) was the sweetest little ol’ church lady you’d ever meet and she’d have whupped my ass in front of the whole congregation on Sunday morning if I expressed even a fraction of your callous disregard for your fellow man.

Have you not been paying attention or are you really this ideologically motivated? There’s no mention of USAID in the image above.

Bit late for that now, lol. This bubble was obvious literally three years ago. XD

Run a memory test, I was having issues like this that turned out to be some RAM that passed self-tests but failed during certain kinds of writes.

Not even enough to raise the temperature of the containment bottle by a degree. 92 antiparticles vs. trillions of atoms of steel and composite.
