Yeah, usually they say the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. But he stepped off that path long ago and is forging a new Trail To Hell over a mountain of fraud, grift, sexual assault, and fascist thugbootery.

Trump says things like that all the time and gets away with it. At this point he might as well go ahead and murder that kid in the middle of Park Avenue, his followers will say it shows he’s strong, and what about Hunter Biden!?

That tracks with my experience. I’m shot-tolerant, so I have the calmness to observe. Of course, some are also just inherently more irritating/painful than others, and there’s different volumes of liquid as well.

For instance, if you’re shot-averse, get Pfizer Covid rather than Moderna Covid. It’s ⅓ of the size/dose.

Serves 'em right for electing him in the first place

Fwiw, my kid who was like that still hates needles, she just has better ways of coping now. The other kid likes to watch it go in, doesn’t bother her a bit.

Both get an ice cream cone on the way home.

Of course being clenched up with fear makes it more painful too, so at some point not in the middle of the screaming, make sure they know to try to relax that arm muscle even if the rest of their body is rigid with fear. And to remember it’s going to take maybe 10 seconds so don’t pull away. (It will take less, but kids count fast)

It’s too bad we can’t let them do it themselves, it might make it easier.

Since vaginal ultrasound is how they detect a “fetal heartbeat” at 6 weeks (the heart isn’t yet formed or pushing any blood, but there’s an electronic pulse) at which point abortion is illegal in many states, that might be a good thing.

Although, as ultrasound is also how my overdue fetus was diagnosed with the umbilical cord wrapped 3x around the neck, leading to a quick C-section and healthy baby, I would rather keep the ultrasound machines and lose the lunatics.

True, but in this case his free speech is known to have inflamed his cult followers to commit acts of violence in his name, so it’s a closer comparison than it appears on the surface. Court personnel are already receiving death threats.

Does that count as a “pussy pass” or is it just GOP? (The “better” Republicans protect her because they can claim to be clean while she does the stuff they want done)

Or cheated cancer kids

FixFake it with a Sharpie

Don’t have any kids, guess I’m gonna have to buy a box of Froot Loops. Luckily I have unused marshmallows and butter from Thanksgiving, so I can make 🌈 cereal bars.

I think you mean ethics in tech?

If so I agree.

I’m pretty sure the word you want is “imply.” Although what the Russians are doing with corrupt USBs is a crime, OP isn’t implicated in it.

In case you had any doubt, abortion is also banned there.

Agreed! Although it was a Discworld reference. Death is one of my favorite characters.

Oh I cracked a smile at that one

So put him in prison with nothing but NPR and PBS to rehabilitate him?

I imagine an overfed Death, even one who just murdered a curry, still looks … Skeletal.

Skipping floor 13 is one thing, skipping 9,10,11,12,13,14, and 15 is quite another. And has anyone checked the mid-30s are really there? They could be placebo buttons.

For anyone else that would be a stressor but he’s never cared about anyone but himself
