No, it’s because they don’t care.

Pretty sure it’s an ADHD thing. I’m like that with people’s faces. For a long time I thought I had facial blindness but realized a couple of years ago, I’m just not generally paying attention to faces enough to record them into memory. When I actually learn what someone’s face looks like instead of their general shape/hair/clothes/accessories, I have no problem recognizing them in a variety of situations.

Yeah, this sure sounds like the “free market” correcting itself as these people love to prattle on about.

Seriously, “I don’t like this thing, so fuck anyone who does!” Why can’t we just be chill with people liking whatever makes them happy (within reason obviously) rather than actively rooting against it?

Yeah, exactly this. I have a mortgage and a car payment so I’ve got lots of debt, but I wouldn’t consider myself “broke” by any stretch. I don’t live paycheck-to-paycheck, I put 10% away for retirement, and I can afford to spend money where I want without stressing about it. Overall, pretty charmed compared to how a lot of folks are struggling these days and it’s honestly kinda wild to act like it’s comparable to anything they’re going through.

Not to mention the Texas Rangers don’t have jurisdiction anywhere outside of Texas. They’d be essentially coming in and acting as vigilantes. No other states should be ok with that kind of usurping of power on their soil or it’s a really fucking slippery slope.

Ok but surely they know the difference between price go up and price go down? It’s astounding people will probably believe this.

Yeah, but also for most things requiring proof of citizenship in the US, people generally use their birth certificate or a document, like a passport or real ID, that was originally obtained with a birth certificate. If birthright citizenship is no longer a thing, how would you even provide documentation for your parents’ citizenship if they aren’t naturalized citizens? Can’t rely on their birth certificates because that no longer matters and now I have to prove my grandparents were/are citizens to prove my parents are citizens and on and on. It doesn’t even make sense.

Other people are saying it’s Vital Proteins, apparently.

Don’t worry, surely any of those negative repercussions will be neatly contained within their city limits.

44% is wild.

Eeeeh. I can’t be the only one who won’t touch something described as “pro-America” with a ten foot pole.

Yup, that’s immediately where my mind went.

ASL is not English, though. It has its own grammar structure and words (obviously) so it is functionally a different language than written English. People who speak ASL as a first language are essentially learning a second language with written English, one that is based on spoken language they can’t hear. As a result, many in the Deaf community struggle to read and write. Add to that the stress of it being an emergency and having to process the text in real-time before it disappears? I just don’t see captions being the answer for this already vulnerable community, especially in life-or-death situations.

So fucking tired of these clowns.

I mean, the fact that those people would then have to live there kind of insulates the politicians from those consequences. It’s not so simple to move your entire life, but to do so in order to live somewhere you don’t actually want to, so you can be one small drop in the bucket toward maybe voting one of these jerks out 2 years from now? Ridiculous, quite frankly, and not something enough people would ever be willing to do (rightfully so) to turn the tides.

New York is one of the few states not colored in?
