  • My state pays $20/day. The last time I was summoned, the estimated cost of the commute using the IRS average is $35 (granted, that's a high estimate) and not reimbursed or compensated. Also the $20 is taxed. So it effectively cost me money to go to jury duty in my old county even before accounting for lost wages.

  • Tariffs were barely talked about until the day after the election for some reason. So a lot of people learned after the election....

  • When we don't get paid because we miss work and are dependent on that money, it can be annoying. In theory, I think it would be cool to be on a jury, but its a luxury to be able to afford to be on a jury.

  • Naked pea is another cheaper option, but it takes some getting used to the taste...

  • Because liberals are defending genocide too...

  • I wasn't disagreeing with that part of the argument or suggesting that were limiting the discussion to trans women for nefarious reasons. I was only disagreeing with the quoted part. Biological sex is also a social construct, so the whole topic of physically being a man or woman biologically is still in the same realm of thought as race science, so I think the topic is sort of questionable to bring up at all. But even if we want to follow that logical, some trans women have far more in common with their body with a cis women who have had a hysterectomy that they do with cis men.

    I'm also not suggesting that trans women need medical interventions to be women. Just that if you tried to assume some logic to actions of transphobes (your biggest mistake), then even if you excluded neurological biological reasons, then biological sex should still allow those that meet the transmeds/truscums BS ideas at least, yet transphobes still take issue. Biological here is just a dog whistle.

    Also not suggesting that said person would necessary disagree - my goal was just to add to the topic.

  • I don't think so. Seems like KTI was talking specifically about trans women being neurologically female (and neurology is part of biology). I'm talking about the rest of the body also being female.

  • Just not physically.

    If we are gonna insist people have to be categorized into either biological male or female, a lot of trans women would most reasonably be placed into the female category and a lot of trans men into the male category.

    Trans people change frequently are changing their biology to match their gender.

  • Seems like this is from people who (claim to have) demonstrated how it could be done on the hardware used in the election as part of their professional careers, are showing the data suggesting something like that was done, and are reaching out to officials to get a recount, which would be able to prove something was done to alter the results. Seems like demanding recounts is what should be done, just like in 2020.

  • 2016 anomilies were differences between exit polls and results specifically in some swing states. Different anomoly. Not saying 2016 was definitely fraudulent, but seems worth double checking if you want to pretend to be a republic/democracy.

  • Nothing was done based on the shady 2016 election outcomes, so I doubt anything will happen this time either.

  • You could do vote totals for president vs vote totals for the next highest state-wide race (or break it down to more locally) without looking at the party those votes went to. It wouldn't prove that the huge number of bullet votes were specifically in favor of Trump, but at least would suggest some wrong-doing, even if the result of a recount lowers Harris votes.

    Still, there's surely lots of other races where one candidate is clearly awful, yet bullet ballot rates are still <1%.

  • Maybe betacam?

  • It's not like my account is that important. I have the same account on different instances so when one has technical problems, I just use the other. Just copied the settings over. Not like I need to be able to go through all my history much.

  • Those annoy me more because I often instantly scroll to the bottom and miss that its in the wrong spot.

  • Something's broken, Something's failing, rotting!

  • Studying fly development has led to cancer treatments targeting the sonic hedgehog pathway.

  • Before sleep and while driving... Harder to have an endless stream of distractions to interact with during those times.
