I honestly don’t get how he lived this long. It was so obvious that he and Bush lied us into the war in Iraq. If my son or daughter was killed over there or massively injured, I would have made it my mission to kill the guys who lied and profited off of it. I’m not advocating for that, it just seems a logical consequence of those actions.

Somewhere between half a million people and 5 million people died as a consequence of that lie and the invasion. Cheney is a piece of shit and there is a lake of blood that this guy is responsible for. I only wish there was a hell for him to go to.

IMHO it’s really all about you being worried about how others react. Speaking as a 50 year old guy, I would walk around naked if it was normal in society. Put the bikini on and stand in front of a mirror. Make sure you’re confident that it looks normal (no tags still showing, nothing that is too revealing or pinching in the wrong spot or whatever… then put it on and go out in public and don’t think about it. It’ll be fine and nobody will think twice about it other than maybe saying “damn she’s keeping herself in shape!”

It’ll be fine. Don’t let others get in your head so much that it determines what you’re going to do or wear.

100%. This is the true “voter fraud” if there is any. Voting for parents, voting for significant others, voting for kids, but doing so on a mail in ballot and usually with their approval.

(I have to admit that I do this with my wife. She says “just fill it out and I’ll sign and turn it in”, so I do. But this could easily be done with coercion also.)

Because, in reality, peaceful protests don’t work. We’ve been taught that they do, but they don’t.

The most successful protest going on right now is against Tesla. A bit of anonymous property destruction and a boycott, crashing the stock price, those things actually work. Getting together and holding signs doesn’t actually do anything, especially in some place like California.
