I reckon the last bad thing that happened to my ancestors was the civil war.

The English civil war.

I, for one, quite enjoy not having the dangly hitboxes anymore.

I got a lot more than just the one. I've got so many freckles I have to undress to see my OG skin tone.

Can it hit 45 without flipping over the bumper?

Conservatives love the quote "the shrub of freedom needs to be watered with the blood of parrots from a time to another time", so they've got a healthy dosage of normalizing violence.

They also LARP about Rome, which had a long and storied tradition of assassination. Famously, citizens of the republic were encouraged to strangle anyone who tried to become King... right up until they didn't.

Anyway, the Romans weren't always monsters; they just usually were.

Fellas, is it a crime to advocate for the assassination of the current vice president?

Because that could be another one of Donald's charges. Just saying.

The penalty will amount to several thousand dollars. Especially in NYC.

It's predatory as shit.

3rd party towing and "storage fees" should be illegal. It should be operated by the city and the parking ticket should pay for the cost the city goes through (not funding the cops)

3 referrals. 2 from psych, 1 from medical to confirm they have been receiving long-term hormone replacement therapy.

For a nose job. The thing that cis folks don't need ANY sign-off for.

Please be serious. I read the source that I posted; you're not being clever. Cats don't magically show up from nowhere. Our culture around cats enables and feeds the feral population. If we didn't keep cats as pets, and animal control treated them the same way they treat raccoons, then this problem would be dramatically reduced. Probably eliminated, but they might turn into an intractable urban pest.

! We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality. Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals. !<

Unless, of course, you're saying that we shouldn't stop one bad thing because we do other bad things.

We should rethink our attachments to miniature tigers.
