ugh

Just call me Britney

Those will... not sell. Elementary school kids have smart phones. This isn't 2009 when the cool kids are sharing earbuds to listen to their Zune.

That's exactly what I assumed. It makes no sense. I guess I wasn't clear considering the downvotes.

No, they cannot. I hope someone gives you a more in depth answer because I'm very sleepy. Socially, just because a state votes red doesn't mean that everyone there is awful. It would not be fair to those citizens.

I do believe that texas has the right to secede. It won't happen, but it was part of the bargin to rejoin after the Civil War.

I'm glad to see that we're not all addicts here

I hope you're not an American

IUDs and some birth control pills work by preventing implantation. Those would be banned, too.

I read some bickering about this amongst conservatives, and the reasoning seems to be:

1. Conception should occur from sex because of the love between husband, wife, and God or something

2. Typically, they'll harvest(?) multiple embryos, check if they are viable or have genetic abnormalities, then discard those that aren't viable or will result in major disabilities. To them, this is killing those unviable/unhealthy "babies". Sometimes the couple will freeze multiple embryos as backups, but not need them after a successful pregnancy (or more). Those microscopic globs of cells that they call babies are then "murdered". Their point is that this results in more deaths than lives.

I'm curious what their opinion would be if a woman wanted IVF after 5 miscarriages, was unable to get the treatment, and went on to have 7 more miscarriages, still without having a successful birth. To be real, fundie couples who refuse contraceptives and are hell bent on having a child could go through many more miscarriages than that.

Specifically from the sun, too. I have never heard of anyone dying from too much sun exposure that's not related to the temperature or skin damage.

Tylenol is easier to overdose on than NSAIDs. I really don't think this guide is accurate. I'm really questioning the placement of cocaine and especially ketamine. Vitamin D from the sun? Lethal? I don't believe black widows are that venomous, either. How are they even measuring this? Cocaine will give you a heart attack, Tylenol will shut down your liver, venom acts like an infection... are they basing lethal dose on how much it takes to cause some kind of fatal reaction, or under a controlled administration with a defined "fatal dose" based on a specific measurement, like damage to a human cell?

They're insecure about their intelligence but too prideful to admit when they don't know something, even to themselves.

Education is the obvious fix, but at least in America, the idiots are trying to destroy it. If people learned critical thinking, almost everything else would fall into place. If we stopped reinforcing learned helplessness and made people practice logic and learn consequences, society would see a huge benefit. People need to be held accountable for their ignorance. Otherwise, they won't learn. Those who refuse to learn should rightfully be shunned, because they're the biggest propaganda weapon out there.

Cognitive dissonance is another major reason for idiocracy. The MAGAts are so blatant about their love for it. "Wokeness" is healing from cognitive dissonance, which they've labeled as a virus.

I'm sympathetic and offer to help someone if they're being a bit stupid (all of us have our moments), but if they refuse, that's where they should be held accountable.
