- imagine a 40 yo in the future saying " my parents let me chop off my dick when I was 15 because of a tik-tok trend". It's the suff of horror films._niko
- But why is this from the Toronto sun and has a click bait title and totally comes off as one of those anti-vaxx covid denier doctor videos..._niko
- It is terrifying what the far left is willing to do to children to justify their ideologynb
- Demanding that a doctor prescribe puberty blockers or accuse them of transphobia? Psychotic.nb
- T.O. Sun is trash, sure. But don’t judge what the person is saying based on style or aesthetic or what you think the video feels like.nb
- Just listen to what she’s saying and judge her words on their merit. It’s not at all anti-vax type shit.nb
- Of course you are free to believe whatever you want. but your beliefs have no effect on what is true or isn’t true.nb

- Using a pencil instead.palimpsest
- Other countries have a national ID. We don't like that idea in the USA. There are 10% of citizens who don't have an ID. They can register to vote anyway.nuggler
- Got it. But still amazed how US does even the most basic thingsgrafician
- You really don’t actually. People are asked for and show ID when voting. If you aren’t registered then tough luck.monospaced
- This just means that people who don’t have officially issued government ID can still register with proof of citizenship. It isn’t a free for all.monospaced
- If you think anyone can just walk up and vote in any of these states then you’re mislead. Not unexpected though considering ...monospaced
- No, I would've thought everybody age 18 and up are ALREADY REGISTERED TO VOTE automatically as in any modern countrygrafician
- Then based on ID you just go and vote if you want.grafician
- Exactly. You have to be registered. And signatures must match.doublespaced

Does anyone else feel like the government charges way too much in taxes for what we get? It doesn’t make sense anymore.
I understand people say things like, “taxes pay for roads and police and schools etc.”
And I get that concept. Except it’s NOT paying for those things. The country is in massive debt, and growing. Forever! There is no end imaginable. LIt’s absurd. It would be one thing if taxes were high because we were being pragmatic. But we’re not, it’s super wasteful. Seems so bloated.
And to be honest, I don’t want them to build more roads! Fuck drivers! Let them drive on the roads that are there. Also taxes pay for wars and war tech and I don’t want that.
People are not taxed equitably. And, taxpayers don’t get any real say in what the money is spent on.
So anyway, my point is that while I would never vote Republican (tbh they talk about reducing taxes but have you felt it?), I also don’t have anyone to vote for, if I even voted. Every time anyone in office suggests a new tax or raising taxes, I cringe!
And this feeling will never, ever go away.

- All the more reason to tax Amazon and others, they're responsible for using and damaging our roads & infrastructure, they need to pay? Hrm, who to vote for?whatthefunk
- You’re talking about the taxes you pay directly, which are usually mostly for schools and dictated by your district. Politicians talking about something else emonospaced
- i'd like more transparency, maybe a clearer breakdown showing where all our tax money goes and where the majority comes from?Ianbolton

"Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris, paper reports"
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/25/…
"The Washington Post said it will not endorse a candidate in the presidential election for the first time in decades.
The newspaper ran an article by two staff reporters saying that editorial page staffers had drafted an endorsement of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the election.
“The decision not to publish was made by The Post’s owner — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos,” the article said.
In a 2019 lawsuit, Amazon claimed it lost a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft because Trump used “improper pressure ... to harm his perceived political enemy” Bezos."
- I wish we could just go back to the days when someone like Bezos and Musk don't own 5 important businesses with crossover interests.mathinc
