“biological male” is if anything bad description of reality. A trans woman who has been on hormone therapy for a couple of years is biologically closer to cisgender women than cisgender men. And even more so if they’ve had surgeries. But usually people who use that term don’t care and lump everyone who was assigned male at birth into that category.

I could attribute this term to ignorance because it sounds reasonable, but it’s far too often used to exclude trans women from spaces that other women belong

My unit was probably a 70-30 split favoring liberals, but it probably varies. My unit was on the more techy, college educated side. Different jobs attract different people

These planes aren’t used often. They’re strategic bombers and the most expensive of America’s bombers too. Both in per flight hour cost and absolute cost

The B2 spirit is primarily made for the nuclear deterrence and warfare role. They are designed to penetrate air defense systems by being stealthy, A concept that was proved by the f-117 Nighthawk.

But since they have a heavy payload they’re also used to drop conventional bombs occasionally. When you have to service a large amount of targets or use really big bombs, A strategic bomber is the go-to solution. They used B2 in this case for what my guess is these reasons

• stealthy means they can get past radar systems and they can shrink any warning time
• The B2 is the only plane rated to carry the gbu-57 bunker busting bomb. The facilities they were trying to destroy were fortified, so most other bombs wouldn’t work.

They’re being ordered to do these things? No National guardsman wants to do domestic stuff. It’s not like this is a disaster relief operation. They’re being used as pawns in domestic politics. Something that they are trained to stay out of.

Honestly wearing a black wedding dress would be fucking awesome. I’m having a lesbian wedding anyway, so I could add some spice.

I thought that the Russians liked genocide. They have been pursuing policies of russification for centuries

The pictures literally date back to then. That’s so much denial.

Once eggs hatch they become chicks

I can only actually name one politician that was smited

There’s this one Turkish politician that got smited right after he said that Allah will judge Israel

This one seems pretty arcane to me

That’s adorable! Even if she didn’t intend for it, she’s a mother now. I don’t know if she’s quite realized it yet.

These people will be on Starlight’s side during the Cutie Map. Or they’d go say that Starlight wasn’t actually practicing real communism.

Idk. I feel mixed about the content warnings. They could be useful for some people, though it’s a little bit overboard. There are certainly worse episodes of My Little pony that’s for sure. I think of the Buffalo episode in season 1 (actual settler colonialism and then the lesson is just to share the land)

All the depictions of these things are pretty mild in general. Although that doesn’t stop the My Little pony Community from making these incredibly detailed stories and worlds.

It’s not about cost for care benefits to the patients, it’s purely an ideological thing.

I can’t speak of the cost to Medicare but I can speak to the cost to the military.

The DoD spent 52 million dollars over 10 years on gender affirming care. It will spend 18 billion on replacing all of the trans service members that it is kicking out.

This means it will take 3,000 years of GAC to catch up with the cost of dismissing all of these service members.

They do. Otherwise it would sound like Chat JPT. So they say Chat J’ai Pété

Germans voted the NSDAP into power. You’re kinda splitting hairs here

There are skill levels built into military maintenance too. Some things are only be worked on by supervisors and specialist staff. But there are training materials and guidance for these things. There’s a lot of certifications that people are required to keep up with in order to repair and operate multi-million dollar pieces of equipment, but with a trained service member, the military can put people where they need them

I could spin a lot of things into that email. There’s a lot of morality in the Bible that isn’t followed by the government

Remember DL-6! Raaah!

Y’all aren’t really proving her wrong. I’m all for mocking people who think that countries that claim to be Marxist are all paradise, but this just ain’t it

My cat was putting her butt in my face all the time and yesterday she put her nose down the fly of my pants. Now I hide under the blankets from her
