- Comment on Is it true that femboys are "fetishized" by right-wingers or something like that? Or is my friend(who told me this) tripping balls? 1 week ago:
Boy in skirt. Often a half-closeted trans woman, but not necessarily so.
- Comment on Too cynical or too cyclical? 1 week ago:
The peaceful protests are more of a gathering point than the whole solution. You gotta show up to the convention first if you want to be invited to a cosplay orgy or find that guy with the good LSD again, so to speak.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 1 week ago:
There are ways that tariffs can be used to protect domestic industries. But when they’re done that way, it’s normally specific products, implemented carefully and with some warning. I’m pretty sure there are some tariffs to protect American automakers, off the top of my head.
What the president did is just economic suicide. Sudden, huge, fairly indiscriminate, and fluctuating. I think his goal, in his mind, may have been to replace the income tax, but he really fumbled. And that’s a bad idea anyway, because tariffs and sales taxes hit the middle class hardest, which slows down the economy.
There may also be an explanation that he really doesn’t understand cooperation and believes every deal has a winner and a loser. And then very mistakenly concluded that we were the losers in international trade because of our trade deficit. That’s incorrect. We get large amounts of goods and resources for small amounts of fiat currency, which we always seem to have more of. Our trade deficit considerably improves our quality of life in ways that cannot be replicated by an insular economy.

2 is definitely the best-machined. Quality manufacturing right there.
- Comment on How do man made hiking trails keep the grass from overgrowing? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, there are enough people walking on it to just kill the grass. No further effort is needed to form the pathway. Many wild animals make paths by walking on them a lot too.
- Comment on What is this called? 3 weeks ago:
There may be a more specific term for that particular design, but it’s a cloak or a shawl. Likely rectangular to my eye, but I’m not a pro.

The Alt NatPark guys are saying more like five million on 4/5 nationwide.

Could you stick to Yankee or Yank or something? It’s not like I find the disdain confusing, but Septic is a little heavy-handed. We’ve got big and growing problems, but we are all still people here, and not everybody under that umbrella has been asking for it. The assholes in charge have been running on minority support for decades now.
Curious, though. Septic tanks are a standard feature in rural USA. Are they rare in the rest of the world? Is this something we’re considered odd for?
- Comment on Why is it sometimes difficult to start doing what one enjoys? 1 month ago:
That’s a major symptom of depression.
