Trump supports whatever he supports on a given day. He's as unpredictable as the weather. I'd expect volatility in what he supports. FWIW, though, he manufacturers his merch overseas doesn't he? Seems like if he supported dom

I think most people in America are more wary of foreign sounding voices. If the person on the other end sounds like a good ol boy, they get more trust. Scammers don't have to sound like a specific person to be helped by software like t

I don't think the parent said they were. "I'm the Nth person to do a shitty thing!" doesn't absolve them of doing a shitty thing. Just because there are other thieves doesn't make theft ok.

"If A (higher T) then not B (higher sex drive)" does not imply "If B then not A". But agree, these men have built a culture where they believe that's true. I think that they'd be better served by not obsessing

Even if you believe this, it's still nonsense. Let's say you believe that trans women are men. And you believe you need to protect cis women. The number of trans women is so vanishingly small, that you've spent a huge amount

Maybe they object to the idea that anyone's labor should be used, for free, to enrich the wealthy. I don't think that's a terrible stance to have, abstractly. I dunno if that was the case here.

Arbitrarily decided is how all judicial and jury decisions are made. They're all arbitrary. There are no objective court cases like this one. We have a justice system, it arbitrates. Sometimes those decisions are surprising. But like,
