There are only two genders: binary, and non-binary

Fairy?

Did they ever have “social permission”? Seems like they just went ahead and did it and most people just have other things to worry about.

Gotta use the CD-RW case to reuse it

Maybe a freshly shined pair of shoes slippers?

I’m gonna take a wild stab in the dark judging by the rust around the badge that this car was made before this person made the choice to boycott the US.

Many things already are, but it’s not an environmental choice but a boycott so it’s not about being overseas or not anyways. Why support a country that’s actively hostile to you, ya know?

In practical terms it tends to be buying the strawberries from Mexico instead of California for example. The grocery stores literally have little maple leaf symbols on the prices to help, and little tariff symbols as well. Plus people aren’t traveling to the US as that’s a way of not “buying” from there too, often opting to travel within that country or overseas.

Agreed. That’s why dog-whistles work so well; you can retreat to the reasonable point while also getting the unreasonable one across to those you’re really talking to.

Let me put my hazmat suit on and try to steel man Kirk’s comment. Can’t stress enough that this is not an endorsement of the guy.

Deification is a slow gradual process that happens in the culture so of course it can’t be pinpointed. The way people quote just the “I have a dream” stuff but not the criticisms of capitalism or other more “extreme” views of MLK sort of point to a legendary development where people don’t actually celebrate the real man. This is used by the ruling class (they likely helped it happen too) to prevent any meaningful change (especially considering what they did to MLK) and just apply a veneer of progress while still oppressing and sowing division in the population.

Well, the inventor of Vaseline thought so

Chesebrough lived to be 96 years old and was such a believer in Vaseline that he claimed to have eaten a spoonful of it every day

Interesting they went with a sweet flavour; I always figured since cats are obligate carnivores that sweet things wouldn’t be very attractive to them.

Cut down a tree by standing on a branch and cutting the branch from the tree.

Is painting with bananas a cartoon thing I’m not familiar with?

I was thinking Johnny Depp’s character in Once Upon a Time in Mexico

MAGA is such a destructive movement, they even destroy their own stuff

Yes, I guess I should’ve said it’s typically above the exterior walls where the heat loss happens and was trying to keep it simpler with just “near the eaves”, but the melting from the heat loss is what makes the ice and you need the colder area lower on the roof to cause the freezing/daming.

Those wouldn’t stop ice daming, those are to stop the snow from suddenly coming off the roof (and onto you).

Ice daming is caused by heat loss near the eaves that causes ice to build up and then “back up” under the singles as it forms and causing leaks inside.
