I burned a custom johnny cash cd for my mom using some of her favorites. She played it for about 9 years before accidentally leaving it in the cd player when she sold her old car

I did it with black licorice. We were on a road trip and it was the only snack we had left

It sounds like you’d be happier with qubesOS. It’s very privacy and security focused

So you’re ok with going to bars with Nazis in it because it’s not explicitly a Nazi bar? You’re refusing to engage based on the merits of my argument. I’m done with this conversation.

Your bar is somewhere around introducing legislation? I have a higher bar. I want Newsom ejected from the party for his comments, and the fact that he wasn’t means it’s an anti-trans party.

Think of it like ACAB for politics. Most cops are decent people, but all cops are bastards. Most democrats aren’t anti-trans. The party is anti-trans.

I’m blaming the party, not McBride. She’s ok. You’re twisting my stance to make it disingenuous, when I’ve only spoken about the party as a whole and the likely presidential candidate for 2028.

Here’s some of my evidence:

By allowing and tolerating these “few” democrats to hold anti-trans positions, the party is indicating that trans rights are negotiable. That means they are not allies.

Then please enlightenment me. Show me I’m wrong. I want to be wrong, but the evidence I’ve seen is that democrats are working to ban trans people too.

Instead of coming in from all and accusing trans people of being bad actors, why don’t you browse through the other posts here first. My opinion is informed, democrats have by-and-large abandoned trans people, a couple DSA DINOS does not change that fact. Look around the country, and you’ll see the pattern. The democratic front runner Gavin Newsom is decidedly anti-trans.

Just look at those goalposts move

Democrats are doing all of those things. Pretending democrats haven’t abandoned trans folks is just lying to yourself.

Ok, but the bill still passed the house, with democrat support.

Democrats have been abandoning trans people for years. They are not our heroes or even defenders.

The reversability is over exaggerated, in the best case it’s about 50% from before the procedure

True, in total collapse gold isn’t worth much. However, total collapse isn’t very likely. Across all civilization collapses, it’s never come to that point

The only gold worth a damn is the stuff in your hands. Gold speculation is not a hedge against financial crises
