Make it a year of pto, and you get to spend that time over the next 18 years. I’d happily take a week after birth and then more time off later as they get older.

Any time you have a group of people who can’t be criticized because of their protected status, members of that group will abuse it.

Utter nonsense. There isn’t a single doctor anywhere who wouldn’t treat a completely nonviable and dangerous ectopic pregnancy.

Do you care about people who lost their job because they didn’t want to get the jab? Even if they had verifiable natural immunity from infection? Or what if they followed all the rules and mandates, but their livelihood was ruined anyway because they weren’t connected to the right people or because they were considered non essential by some ambiguous criteria? Walmart was able to stay open, but small local stores and restaurants were forced to close, forever eliminating Walmart’s competition in small towns across the country. And what about the generation of kids whose education suffered, who sacrificed against their futures to possibly slightly reduce the risk of the privileged and fearful elderly ruling class? Years of critical developmental time lost forever, and for reasons that were increasingly disconnected from real science. Where is your empathy for the kids? They had no say in it or ability to advocate for themselves but were forced to bear the largest burden despite being the lowest risk. These injustices were behind the American support for the Canadian convoy. Where were you during that time? Don’t lecture me about hypocrisy. No, I’m not as concerned about people who decided to come here illegally or if they made some bad decisions while here on a temporary basis. Most of those situations will resolve in time, but late cancer diagnoses, accidental overdoses, suicides, and the previous examples I mentioned are long term, lasting impacts. Yes, I have much more empathy for them.

How many total people are we talking about? Actual people.

Whose rights are being taken away?

I get the feeling that your entire identity is defined by opposition to America…

No that’s occam’s razor you are thinking of. Occams razEr states that sometimes the simplest solution is to burn the village and sow the fields with salt.

Troll

He’s a troll for sure

Why wouldn’t they be? International development sounds exactly like the kind of agency that would/could be concerned with those things.

If your criteria for their validity is whether you agree with their decisions or not, then it’s going to look unpredictable.

Oh well good news then, ted cruz had a proposed bill to protect judges from intimidation after death threats towards Kavanaugh.

I agree, except that it looks a lot different now after Luigi.

Yeah, well a few years ago you got banned for saying “groomer”.

Don’t ask lemmy for advice. Lemmy cares about their own ideology and nothing else.

She could do the exact same thing and nobody would say anything about it. Nobody would consider for a second that she actually meant to do a salute. Why would she? What in her history would make anyone think she is aligned with nazis? What could she hope to accomplish doing such a thing to the type of crowd she would be speaking to? The very idea is preposterous, and for that reason it wouldn’t even be considered.

It’s worse. Much worse.

Stevia leaves a disgusting after taste and is an immediate deal breaker for me in any drink.

Lol oh yeah I missed the context
