All these girls are dysphoric about being girls! Let’s ramp up the misogyny and rape some more of them. Maybe the thought of being forced to die birthing a rape baby will fix that dysphoria and make em real glad to look forward to whatever shit show is gonna be foisted on them.
No shit girls are dysphoric about it. You make life hell for females. Who the hell wants to serve a cradle-to-grave sentence as an unwelcome ghost inside a body that belongs to someone else? What the fuck else is a woman but a person squatting in some one else’s body-property?
“If we stop testing for COVID we won’t have so many cases” – no, we just won’t know about them.
“Why are there so much more autism today, it must be the vaccines!” – no, we’re just better at diagnosing it.
Gender dysphoria has always been a thing; the only difference is that people are more broadly accepting of it. It’s not that children are being indoctrinated into some sort of “trans agenda” (which is just another take on the old, “gays recruiting our kids” trope), it’s just not that big of a deal anymore to a lot of people.
But, of course anything that threatens the Republican narrative around straight white Christian male dominance is bad and must be destroyed.
They rescinded the memo but not the order. Tomorrow, I understand they will rescind the paper the order is printed on but will stand by the ink. The pen Donny signed it with is right out but the ketchup stain on the pen is still valid. It’s all very complex.
Well, everyone knows having standards is woke. Keeping things dirty, dangerous, overpriced, corrupt, unregulated and inefficient, that’s the Republican way! Whether it’s the food you eat, the medicine you take, the car you drive or the people running your government, you can rest easy knowing that none of them are being held to any standards whatsoever!
Vehicle Safety Inspection Changes Take Effect January 2025
December 4, 2024
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) reminds Texans that changes to the state’s Vehicle Safety Inspection Program – which eliminate most vehicle safety inspections – begin on Jan. 1, 2025. These changes are due to House Bill 3297. The bill was passed by the 88th Legislature and signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott in 2023, abolishing the Vehicle Safety Inspection Program for non-commercial vehicles.
Starting New Year’s Day, non-commercial vehicles will no longer need a vehicle safety inspection prior to registration. All non-commercial vehicles in the state will still be subject to a $7.50 inspection program replacement fee. The inspection program replacement fee will be paid at the time you register your vehicle with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
New vehicles (those of the current or preceding model year on the date of purchase) purchased in Texas that have not been previously registered in Texas or another state are required to pay an initial inspection program replacement fee of $16.75 to cover two years.
Please note the inspection program replacement fee is not an increase in the cost of your vehicle registration. As its name suggests, this fee simply replaces the revenue source for state programs and operations—like the construction and expansion of state highways—once supported by vehicle safety inspections.
Texas officially does away with mandatory vehicle inspections
AUSTIN (KXAN) — As the clock chimed midnight Wednesday morning, Texans rung in 2025 — and the state’s mandatory vehicle inspections officially became a thing of the past.
Yeah, what put him over the top was his book sales. I don’t have a problem with people making money, but I have a problem when they believe that the rest of us should suffer so they can make more… I don’t think that’s Bernie.
Oh, but if these folks get one less french fry than what they want, or if their meat isn’t cooked properly, or if there’s dust on the mantel…THEN standards matter. The ones they feel they’re entitled to from the lower and working classes.
Like Detroit will drop billions in R&D and production investments. And of course the American people are begging to pay more for gasoline. I mean, gas is only $3.20 a gallon! Small change!
Donny wants to be king. He just doesn’t realize he’s king Knut.
I yelled at my son after I told him about something stupid that the t.admin did (don’t expect me to remember which one, lol), and he asked me why was I telling him about it.
I then told him that we’re in this mess partly from people staying home…the folks who don’t trust any sort of politician in any way at all, of which he is one, and from people who are purposely made ignorant about this issues. I had told him previously that I wished he would at least in local elections.
Now, I’m converted from thinking voting sucks but i have to do it anyhow even if it won’t help, except in local elections into VOTEVOTEVOTE like a baby STOATSTOATSTOAT! So I got miffed and told him that things are not gonna change unless people go into action and DO something. And earlier in the week, I gave him the ol’ “they came for () and I did nothing…” speech.
He’s bi and disabled and not a jock, but he’s not a fuckin’ idiot techboy incel either (tho he is a virgin - don’t tell him I told! - but he doesn’t blame women for it, I do know that); why he can’t get that being white and male isn’t a guarantee of safety any more?
Oh yeah, one thing I remember clearly is yelling (this is a paraphrase), “Your granpa and uncles served in WWII to stop this fuckin’ crap! This shit IS reality, it’s ACTUALITY!!!”
and i heard him muttering as he went back down to the basement, lol.
