all the 'bad law' people don't realize that the reasoning means nothing this is an ideological crusade by right wing federalist society extremist judges

marriage? try sodomy and miscegenation laws

"Its my right to poison myself!" they cry as they shut down poison control centers across the country

anyway my wife's ob basically told her that if we decide to have a third child it may be a threat to her life so here's hoping my vasectomy takes!

the next boogyman works just as well as abortion, or failing that: "the radical socialists want to legalize CHILD MURDER"

this is what transit use looks like with suburban land use planning combined with an insufficiently funded transit system

I never do, I grew up in a small town in rural Appalachia and it's what I always keep in mind. But acting like rural areas can't make it without the ability to drive is asinine. They require the ability to drive because we built these rural areas to require the ability to drive. To say nothing of the rest of the planet where most people don't have cars

most people in 'rural' areas live in and very near small towns which can easily be navigated without a car if we allow it to happen. but most people do not live in these places anyway; they live in cities and suburbs. and in the US these places have a nearly universal requirement to drive. those places where you don't need a car to drive were engineered around non-car mobility, whereas the US has spent the last 70 years making driving a requirement and actively undermining our cities. this is not so much the case in Canada which is more urban than the US and with a higher transit modal share

there is a third way here but it would require re-engineering the built environment away from the nearly universal requirement to drive. and since we're already entertaining the idea of raising the age of legal adulthood this should be on the table too! and for far better reasons than "your brain is still squishy at 18"

I mean the same point applies. Legal minorhood for whatever purpose but without the required structure of schooling or working (if you can't drive in this country you effectively can't work) will lead to the worst possible outcomes.

i'd only agree if it comes with mandatory schooling until 25. otherwise leaving legal minors adrift for 7 years is bad news

voting age should be the age of legal adulthood, nothing else

nah

oh yeah my daughter got shot #2 yesterday, only is complaining about a sore arm this morning but otherwise no side effects!

the county where i grew up is #1 in deaths/100k since 6/30/21 in ohio. scioto, jackson, vinton, highland, brown are all above 100 deaths/100k since 6/30/21 and are all contiguous in the Appalachian region. the flip side is Athens county. same region but vaccination makes all the difference! (its also the home of Ohio University, so education polarization in partisanship shows its face again!)

hes actually an accomplished surgeon and holds several patents. hes a very smart guy. but it just goes to show you that smarts ain't everything

as someone with a brother who has had significantly more severe run ins with the law than sexual harassment there is a point where you don't, in fact, have to help them
