I know this is the argument people think is the most compelling. But in reality, this is not hitting with the electorate. Calling him weird was much more effective. Even post Jan 6th!

Trump bad, Trump fascist, for some reason that’s preaching to the choir; the urgency is already felt with the people who are gonna feel it. The campaign could realize this, and could pivot and focus entirely on abortion and economy, because they won’t touch the war. But Kamala is currently stumping with Republicans on a “Trump Bad” ticket. Fuck the Cheneys.

Basically Trump = fascist, even if true, is ineffective, and is losing the election as Trump picks up immigration votes from minorities and protest votes from Muslims.

There’s been a retail explosion with the thca loophole through the 2018 farm bill. It’s really only picked up the last couple of years with both price plummeting and access skyrocketing this year.

Technical legality has meant many of these sellers are using regular billing systems (Card payments, not cash only) are shipping via usps, and using square space to build retail sites.

They’ll know this is as least partially part of the cause is they numbers go up once congress closes the farm bill loophole.

I was being facetious, I was at best neutral before horse gate.

Yeah, that’s his remaining audience in a nutshell. It’s legit creepy.

No, when he exposed his loli horse porn to the world I lost the respect I never actually had for him in the first place i guess.

It’s one thing to be so stupid you don’t have a different personal computer to do your weird jerk off shit. It’s another to then expose your creepy jerk off shit to your audience. It’s yet another third thing that your audience is willing to just ignore it and keep watching. Gross!

Pretty sure the only sentient being that would need to be worried around Vaush would be a little girl he wants to take on a stable tour.

Doing more research, candidates that were picked from contested conventions are absolutely less likely to win in historically.

So close enough with a candidate as strong with his party as Trump.

Actually the presidential candidate was selected on the day of the convention up until around 1970. They had conventions that would last days, they would lock the doors until a candidate was picked. Then ideally everyone stacked behind the final candidate.

I’m pretty sure there was actually almost a contested convention in like 1980. So no, this is objectively wrong and a bit of a modern convention.

Man, science communication is in a bad spot if all they’re doing is blunting people’s expectations and, as the previous user very aptly mentioned “yucking everyone’s yum”.

This is why people make fun of Neal Degrass Tyson, many times his explanations are both pedantic and unnecessary, which I would argue is the same as the comment that started this thread.

Especially when what they were talking about was actually listed in the article!

They specially mention this in the article. It does work on multiple antigens beyond ABO, they even list that there are over 40 blood types that we know of with 300+ antigens.

Did what you do at a blood bank involve an education or just a name tag, cause they have receptionists and hourly workers at blood banks.

Holy shit, I’m doing this next time I’m at my inlaws…

In the US? National studies that get numbers on this shit admit that much like all sexual assaults, these numbers are under reported.

Numbers in the early 2000’s were reporting a 20% rate of sexual assault in prisons. The fucked up part, I mean it’s all fucked up but the really really fucked up part? Half of it is the staff, not the other inmates.

Raddix Zephyr is def the name of the protagonist in a JRPG.

Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides is for sure the Prince in an Isekai anime.

Damn, how do you pick up all the ass people drop in front of you with that?
