Who gives a shit what he looks like. Focus on the real problems instead of being childish like the conservatives.

Yes, and now Trump will help provide significantly more arms than Harris would have, even if she kept providing the same amount as Biden. Surely I don't have to tell you that that's worse?

We need to mobilize to change the DNC and Democratic Party leadership in the time we have in between these decisions, not ignore it for 4 years and then throw away your vote in protest.

You can be rightfully mad at the party that's failing to represent you correctly (I certainly am) and still make the pragmatic choice of not getting the guy who will make those issues worse elected.

We need to come together nationally and locally to attempt to affect change within the DNC more often than every 4 years, because it seems like every time we're all reminded how incompetent they are, it's too late for us to do anything about it for that election cycle.

What lesson exactly? That if the ideal candidate isn't run, a subset of liberals will pick the worse of two options?

All that does is teach the conservatives that if they can convince you that the democrat candidate fails you enough on a single issue, they effectively have your vote. Regardless of the conservative candidate's stance on that issue.

You have made the choice to make the problem you care about profoundly worse because there wasn't a way to make it completely better. Have fun watching that play out as you intended I guess.

Thanks for the recommendation! Here's the short story mentioned if anyone else wants a read: https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinkingMeat.html

Is this not a thing in other western countries? Serious question and would appreciate knowing more

Bruh if I could extend my dog’s life by my smartphone’s lifespan for the same cost I of course would. Everybody I know would

The first time the government had been involved with an international investigation was the first in which it found the truth in its report on human smuggling of illegal goods in Britain from Britain in early December in a bid that could prove the case for an independent probe of a trade deal that ended a year later with an international agreement with Britain in violation in December

There’s SO MUCH good modern hardcore music here right now that I’m barely scratching the surface, but hopefully at least one of these does something for you!

Yes, the rumors are true unfortunately haha. Iguanas, particularly green iguanas, and especially the adult males, can be quite cantankerous and not what people think they’re signing up for when buying a 6” lizard for $29.99 at petco.

We picked up this guy as a rescue after he had been surrendered once getting about 1.5’ long and getting more difficult to handle. We knew what we were getting into with this species so nothing has been unexpected so far, and he has definitely gotten more difficult to handle as he’s gotten larger. Partially because weight+claw size results in needing more skin protection, and partially because he is more territorial every year, especially during summer.

Iguanas are super cool, but your average green iguana is NOT chill. Especially as adults.

To answer your question: if you can eventually accommodate a coat closet sized enclosure and are willing to understand their diet, iguanas aren’t really that tricky or high maintenance. If you’re looking for a scaly puppy, they’re almost always a grumpy and terrible fit 😬
