In Canada you can show up at the polling station and, with ID and a piece of mail addressed to you in the riding, register to vote in about 5 minutes. You then mark your vote on a little piece of paper using a stubby pencil. When the polls close the election workers open the ballot boxes, count the votes, and report them to Elections Canada and we know who won by midnight.

What the fuck is wrong with the US?

Heh.

Actually…I was two of them. me.world and me.ca

I was one of them.

I write several flavours of BASIC fluently, Fortran and Pascal passably, three forms of assembler well enough to get by, and I’ve worked in COBOL.

Ducks are delicious and eat the way you describe. If I eat ducks I’m eating those things once removed and enjoying it, too.

My first thought.

We all have lives. I sometimes remember that I was discussing something with someone weeks later.

In the end my trans friends, LGBTQ friends, my lesbian daughter, and my son and daughter’s LGBTQ, non-binary, and trans friends and everyone who knows me knows that I’m not a transphobe. They know that I’m an ally. They know that they can count on me for support and that I will actively protect them.

Being labelled a transphobe by someone who doesn’t know me and obviously has rather extreme views is less than meaningless to me. I engaged in the coversation to try to help her to understand my position and that labelling anyone who wasn’t interested in having sex with her, no matter how much of an ally they really were, was counterproductive. I did my best. I’m going to keep doing my best to be an ally no matter how much people who demand thought perfection label me. That’s just who I am.

Your approach was and continues to be a complete failure. You can triple down and fail again or you can choose to try something different. Do you want to talk or do you want to walk away? Those are your only two options at this point.

Fanatics try to expand the meanings of words to make their message more inflammatory in an attempt to bully and shame people who don’t agree with them into doing what they want. It’s a standard play from the extremist playbook.

Dismissing the truth as pedantry doesn’t change the fact that it’s the truth. Your beliefs don’t change reality.

It’s in the definition. Murder is the killing of one human being by another. Vegan fanatics try to shame everyone else by calling it murder but it just makes me laugh. They try so very hard but just sound silly.

Murder is the killing of a human. You can’t murder a non-human.

I want to come back as bacon.

The first time we harvested one of our pigs we had a wake for him. We ate all kinds of delicious cuts and raised a toasted to him.

To Biggun. He was a nice pig and he is a tasty pig.

TO BIGGUN!

It is a citation. I used a citation generator. It doesn’t satisfy your pedantism but it’s definitely a citation.

Do a Google search for, “straight fragility” and you will find everything you need.

Sure it is.
