All good

?

My understanding (and it could be incorrect) is that this is more of a definitional/philosophical thing.

Though you are more than welcome to read directly from the source Judith Butler who (to my understanding) first started this theory on gender:

Stealing the answer because I’m nowhere near as articulate on this matter:

The basic (and simplified) idea is that gender–what we think of as masculine and/or feminine–is performed in the ways we act, speak, dress, move, etc. and doesn’t really exist outside of that performance. We learn how to perform this way from dominant culture and conventions–what someone might (incorrectly) call “normal male” or “normal female” behavior. But these “normal” qualities (and genders themselves) don’t actually exist–rather, we are all repeatedly mimicking them and are rewarded for doing so (or punished for not doing so). We merely impersonate the qualities we’ve been taught match the gender we’ve been told we possess (like females being demure or males being aggressive) until those impersonations (and gender itself) become belief and seen as something natural and assumed.

It doesn’t even stop any other abortions though. It actually increases the number of abortions.

If only this could have been predicted. Oh wait, it was.

It’s never about protecting the unborn, its about punishing and controlling women.

Pretty fucking neat

Are you there universal monk?

Currently using a prius C. In theory I’d prefer to have an EV, but I just don’t have a consistent place to charge, and I already outright own my existing car.

Currently working on trying to reduce my use of my existing car. Because at the end of the day an ebike will always be better than any type of car.

5. Civ V 500 hrs

All successful, meaningful, peaceful movements have had violent allies, or allies who were threatening violence.

I’ve played enough KSP to know that’s a good location to crash.

You said intentional.

I’ll grant you that I could have phrased it more clearly, but I was speaking about the 2A for that section:

If that were the case you’d be right. But as of right now, this is the only check on their power. And it is an intentional check. The 2A was put in place to fight tyrants if it came to it, and it is quickly coming to it.

Perhaps, but if it’s ever used to support justice then it’s inevitable that it would also be used to undermine justice.

Yes, which is why it cannot simply be labeled corruption in all cases. It’s dependent on the case it’s used in. It can be used to free somebody from stealing food for their star ijg family, it can be used to let lynchers get away with their horrid actions, and everything in-between.

Why bother having laws if you can simply convene a jury of citizens to determine an appropriate punishment?

Because the majority of the time it isn’t applicable, or used. It’s an edge case.

I said inherent, not intentional.

And it’s not inherently corrupt. It can be used as a check against immoral law, or it can be used to refuse justice to just law. It’s entirely based on the case it’s used in.

Mergers should be illegal.

Once against proving we have a two tiered justice system.

Shocker

IIRC the problem there is that it potentially makes you liable to be sued by the company for disclosing negative/private information. But they can’t exactly hold you liable if you’re dead, so if you’re dead you may as well speak what you know from beyond the grave.

The idea here is that you’re directly pulling from the panels as first priority to take a chunk off your utility bill. The energy it provides never needs stored, and it makes the load lighter for transporting green energy from elsewhere.
