Hey, the anti-circumcision crowd finally has a legally-binding-ish decree they can use to go after anyone who performs one, now.

Just in case ya'll are reading this, I fully support you using this to beat every single person you can manage to find about the face with.

You're completely correct about you no longer existing, but the problem is you think this in some way can benefit you.

What this is really is is another way to make you an unperson, so that they can do whatever they'd like to you, and then answer "I don't know who you're talking about" if anyone comes asking, since, of course, the sack of meat was no longer that person.

For non-Americans, poster above me is talking about the deductable, co-insurance, and then max out of pocket.

The one thing I'd argue is inaccurate is the 10% co-insurance rate.

If you have an insurance with ONLY a 10% co-insurance, you have good insurance. 25-50% is far more usual.

Even the fake cops fall into ACAB, which I somehow am both amused and very confused by.

I wonder if cop strippers also land in ACAB territory, or if they're the cool cops.

Had to stop reading, as it pissed me off pretty quick-like.

The Mom is completely gone and some talk therapy isn't going to fix what's wrong here.

"Oh she never talked about it!"

"Oh Trump wouldn't do that!"

"Oh there's nobody coming for you!"

"Oh I didn't know that you were worried about this!"

Just low-informed plus gaslighting to justify doing what they wanted, regardless of who gets hurt.

people’s literal existence are now being political and sensitive

Insert always has been meme here.

The major difference between the 1920s or 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s or etc. and now is simply which people's existence is being pushed as a political issue and that we've ceded control of the media to giant corporations who have an overriding incentive to make nobody mad ever because if they don't, they'll lose advertiser money because you can't do anything without half the population disliking you.

That, and we have allowed fascists to control the discussion for decades, rather than stomping them like they rightfully deserve.

Twitch is very much in the wrong here, but let's not pretend that telling people they're not allowed to talk about one minority group or another is somehow new.

A group of people who stand to lose all the rights that have been fought for and won over the last few decades, and depending where they live are at actual risk of being murdered and the lead for the don't-murder-me party is only 67%?

There's no hope for anyone.
