That will be helpful, but for ducks sake. . .

Can we please get some sanity in the white house?

we count ancient Greece as a democracy, don't we?

Last I checked, democracy didn't mean "fair," it ment that the leaders were voted into power.

This sounds like gender affirming care to me. Is there somewhere we can report it?

That's a good thing, is it?

Yes, but we should also remember the past of independents running for office.

There is not an easy path to victory here.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can't tell you how many "I am 18+" dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

I'm not saying I approve of what he's doing. Quite the contrary.

But it's what he's asking, and how he's asking, not that he's asking.

Trying to control the way other countries are run is fucking wild, the notion of which should never even be remotely entertained.

In happier times, we call the process "diplomacy," and mostly limit it to things that affect us, directly or indirectly.

But pressuring other countries to, for example, clean up their corruption so we can reliably do business with them is common. (Also hilariously hypocritical) Pressuring other countries to enact civil rights laws is fairly common, too.

I have to admit, seeing pressure to remove civil rights is unusual, at least from countries not named UAE.
