It's almost nostalgic, for the wrong reasons. It came upon me a few minutes ago to realize this. They go parallel with eachother that 20 years ago, people had the same exact defeatist reaction when George W Bush got re-elected when people thought he wouldn't.

Now, 20 years later, when people thought Trump wouldn't get elected again, here we are.

Inportant fact to consider is that: Political gerrymandering is a "non-justicable political question" according to the supreme court, meaning the courts claim they have no constitutional power to decide this, and its up to congress (via passing a bill with the president's approval) to decide if it should be legal, and in the mean time, it's currently legal.

Republicans have been gerrymandering in red states.

Democrats in blue states on the otherhand, are either currently using non-partisan or bi-partisan commitees/commissions to draw the districting maps, or are in the process of switching to said methods of drawing the districting maps.

This mean that the house would become tipped in favor of republicans.

California and New York surely has a lot of red districts that we can gerrymander out of. The question is: Should Democrats do that? Should Democrats play dirty like republicans have? (Again, supreme court have said that political gerrymandering is legal)

Because I fear that we would have republicans perpetually in control of the house even if Democrats have the most votes nationwide.

Heya,

I've been looking into razors and trimmers to take care of facial and body hair, including sensitive areas. Just looking up these products shows that pretty much anything as explicitly male or female marketed, including not just stereotypical elements like colour and such, but also explicitly calling themselves "for men" or "for women".

Is there anything to this label? Does it actually make any difference or are these just arbitrary visual differences?

Also, do people here have good recommendations for what to go for? It'd be nice to have something that maybe makes it a little easier than using disposable normal razors, as that's associated with some major constant effort and has some less fulfilling results in sensitive areas.

Thanks for reading!

The Nato chief is saying that North Korea is getting access to Russian missile and nuclear technology, in exchange for troops. If this is true, should South Korea launch a preemptive attack on North Korea before these new technologies are properly integrated and utilized?

i started hrt through planned parenthood almost 3 months ago, i feel like it was one of the best decisions i ever made, i feel so much more like myself. although it can sometimes be a lot harder, i am much happier overall, and now look forward to life and the changes i can make, and astonished at how much i have already changed.

i didnt really feel safe relying on using planned parenthood for getting my hrt, and i had already explored the option of getting it from my doctor, but they wont even give me an appointment for 6 months, so who knows how long that will take. i ended up going for injections, rather than oral or transdermal methods, given it being much cheaper. i ordered from a seller i found through some recommendations of friends, lots of stock issues, cant imagine why lol. the hardest part was getting the crypto, my payment methods just did not want to work for some reason. after i purchased some, i made an order, and waited for it to arrive. shipping took about two weeks, but i bought from an international seller.

i went to a friends house, they are also trans and have done injections on themselves many times, so they walked me through the process. i had seen people inject all sorts of things, so i was familiar with it, but i just wanted somebody experienced there. im glad i did, because i just couldnt do it, it just feels wrong to stab myself, i just was building it up in my head a whole lot. i asked them to do it for me, it was very simple and over quick. i think that now i have experienced it, i know what to expect, i will have a much easier time doing it to myself.

im happy i took this step, knowing i can do this has helped ease my anxiety quite a bit. im also glad to get off the spiro and start monotherapy. now all i need is some more cute outfits (and things that are considerably less exciting than cute outfits, but nonetheless important) and ill be ready to tackle the world.

Looking for a alternative to TikTok right now that has a good wide audience from LGBT people and neurodivergent people. I only ever used TikTok because it always gave me good LGBT and nerodivergent people who can relate to me. Instagram just gives me people who sell things and YouTube shorts just gives me annoying YouTubers.

Anybody have any good suggestions?

Pride in Protest has consistently campaigned for the exclusion of NSW Police from the parade citing a culture of homophobia within the force and an adversarial attitude towards unsolved gay hate deaths.

So I’m pretty sure most of you guys also came from reddit. Or at least, a majority of you did. So I think you all understand how addictive it can be. I’m not going to lie, in the past few years I really liked to go up every now and then to troll stupid and harmful people. But lately, I realised it’s all a waste of time because it’s not like I can actually hurt them - I mean I did manage to hurt them but only because they were dumb enough, but it’s not like I can actually “”act upon my judgement”” or any other cringe thing an edgelord can think about. But yeah, I’ve grown tired of negativity, and I want to be a… wholesome person, I think. But sometimes when relaxing, I get the urge to hop back on Reddit to troll some people just because, which I don’t want. I mean don’t misunderstand me, I didn’t entirely gave up on Reddit bc I still have an account there and I do go up if I want to see gaming shit or anything related to my niche interest, I’m just avoiding some specific subreddits. So what should I do? Does anyone else have similar feelings as I do?
