100% agree. Also worth noting that these Iranian prisoners were likely in jail for being trans.
The Iranian government also monitors online transgender communities, often subjecting them to censorship, and police routinely arrest trans people.
So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.
Of course, I don't expect any 2A stans to care.
Commenting to appease my anxiety, ignore me if I bother you.
Doctors generally recommend abstaining from sex for 6 weeks after giving birth.
"The rule in question, known as Bredt's rule in textbooks, was reported in 1924. It states that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at the ring junction of a bridged bicyclic molecule, also known as the "bridgehead" position. The double bond on these structures would have distorted, twisted geometrical shapes that deviate from the rigid geometry of alkenes taught in textbooks.
...A paper published by UCLA scientists in the journal Science has invalidated that idea. They show how to make several kinds of molecules that violate Bredt's rule, called anti-Bredt olefins, or ABOs, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions."
In all fairness, the article says the Nazi flag boat was hosed down when they tried to join the parade.
It still says a lot that our political climate let them think this was okay, but the people at the rally were not okay with it, or at least weren't okay being that obvious.
Call Her Daddy: title of a podcast
Question: what did going on this podcast do for Harris?
Answer: allowed her to reach young women in middle America that conventional news sources would not.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, "Join our Discord". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme's genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools..
Can you imagine if this was normalized for the president, and then over time became acceptable for other people?
"You can't have congress people worried about whether some lawyer will go after them."
"You can't have CEO's worried about whether the DA will go after them."
"You can't expect your boss to worry about whether you will go after them."
"You can't expect your pastor to worry about whether the faithless will go after them."
The US used over 3.6 million gigawatts hours of energy in 2020. If you round down, and assume no increase in the last 4 years, that's over 9800 per day. 30 is a drop in the bucket. We have combined cycle natural gas plants, along with other green options to pick up for dips in production exactly like this.
A better question is how much energy we gain from solar if losing it for a couple hours once a decade or so is such a big deal.
Less, "blissfully unaware," more, "generally apathetic because I didn't realise I had a dark cloud contaminating the positive experiences in my life."
I'm aware, but as the article says those services are not up to the standard of other countries. Not to mention many trans people don't necessarily want the surgery.
I don't know all the circumstances that lead to an Iranian trans person being discriminated against, but it sounds like it is commonplace regardless of their legal status.
