Just don't do it
  • In that they're both photos surrounding the birth of a baby. Something that most people experiencing view as a precious and fleeting time they'd like to have nice pictures of.

    Your vote isn't enough.
  • No. It just doesn't carry the power of law. There's never been potential criminal liability for him writing executive orders beyond his powers. They simply get struck down.

    The levels of obesity and diabetes among the Pima Indians of Arizona have long been recognised to be high. A small study tested the efficacy of lifestyle interventions. Two groups were identified. The Pima action group had a familiar mix of interventions on nutrition and physical activity. The Pima pride group looked remarkably like a control group for a health education trial—they received printed leaflets about activity and nutrition—but in addition they had regular discussions with local leaders on Pima culture and history. At the end of 12 months, much was going in the wrong direction for the action group, but the pride group had either less deterioration of risk factors or improvements. Compared with the action group the pride group looked favourable on weight, waist circumference, and blood glucose and insulin levels two hours after a glucose load.3 A tentative conclusion was that increasing pride in their identity had a more favourable impact on health behaviours and risk than focusing on how to change diet and exercise.

    People often don't take care of things they aren't proud of. It doesn't matter if it's clearly in their best interest to.

  • It's exhausting...
  • The Senate has to confirm the president's picks. The Republicans controlled the Senate during Obama's last years in office. So they just didn't confirm his pick. Their reasoning was that it was an election year. When Trump faced the same situation (supreme court vacancy in an election year), the Republicans still controlled the senate and confirmed his pick.

  • The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially
  • The president can't dismiss them. That's adding executive power. They took away criminal liability. He'd need to kill/kidnap/imprison them. And who knows if they'd rule that as an official act. They didn't actually outline what counts and what doesn't. So maybe for Biden that wouldn't count and for Trump it would.

    Let's do an experiment
  • If it's happening, I imagine it's something along the lines of "Biden did bad things to trans people. If you vote for him, you don't support trans rights. And Trump is even worse! Don't vote/vote third party. " There are other issues where I've seen this argument, not specifically for trans folks, though.

  • I don't think I particularly want a pointy sounding word for vulva because I don't think of vulvas as pointy. I was just curious why you want a pointy word rather than a round one.
