I just want to create a society in which everyone can have meaningful work and be able to afford a house and start a family and by ‘meaningful work’ I mean be part of a multi-billion-year campaign to take control of all matter and energy in the universe.

This is the only project worth undertaking.
Fat Acceptance lib nutty buddy types will talk about how shaming is bad, doesn’t work, etc., and then spend their entire goddamn lives shaming other people for wanting to live in a house, drive a car, not be confined to a scooter, and not eat bugs.
Totally sensible.
What kind of doctor is gonna want to move to Ohio or Indiana now? What kind of woman or girl? It's open season. Out-of-touch cultish religious fanatics run the whole damn show.

Magnify that times a million and you can see why all red states will be unlivable hellholes within a decade. Get out while you can.
Faine is completely right about the below. I grew up in one of the reddest counties in the country — though we didn’t call it “red,” then. That chromonym was reserved only for “commies” at that time. But red areas do feel more menacing now, by far. Now there’s always some dipshit in a raised truck with way too many guns just looking for an excuse to shoot you, or if you’re a woman, perhaps something even worse.
Even a few years ago, I thought the US had a hope and reason for remaining one nation. Now, I don’t care. Let the red states fuck off and become hellholes. They seem to want to do that, so why not let them proceed with it?
The fall of Roe is going to hurt women's careers all over the country (and the world), because a whole lot of women will VERY REASONABLY avoid business travel to states run by anti-abortion lunatics.
Men who don't join them in this are scumbags.

Yep. If I were a woman, no way in hell I’d travel to any red state ever again. No fucking way. Why take that risk? If you get sick and are a woman, there’s a very good chance you won’t be treated because you “might be pregnant” or “can get pregnant.”
Zelenskyi announced that russia has kidnapped and forcibly moved there around 2 million Ukrainians. 2,000,000. Or ~5% of the country's population

American liberals: They look white, so who gives a fuck!? Probably deserved it.
The only way to get a big push on climate will be to frame it as a way of bringing abundant cheap energy and transportation to American consumers, rather than as a mass national sacrifice in the face of overwhelming danger.

The lib tactic of lovingly cataloging everything they simply must take away from everyone will never NEVER work. It’s just moronic and it assures nothing useful will or can occur. I know they get off on this monasticism and enforcing it on others, but they must get over it.
Noah is dead on as to the correct approach.
Paper straws are such an incredible let-down, and frankly they simply don’t work.
I am reminded of how impressive plastic is and how transformative plastic consumer products must have been when first introduced every time I end up in a situation like this. pic.twitter.com/k7r6SntHj2

Paper straws are fucking terrible. I hate very fucking liberal idiot who had anything to do with that ever. Fuck you all.
There’s a reason I’ve called NPR the “Nice, Polite Republicans” for many years.
NPR this morning did the ultimate unforgivable “both sides” horse-race bs — they labeled people who support Roe v Wade as extremists and wondered if such extremism will cause the Democrats to lose in November.
An “extremist” to NPR types is someone who does not support the exact status quo at the moment. “NPR Voice” is worth hating alone. But even more, it’s worth all the loathing you can spare for their pusillanimity and just being craven lapdogs to power. Any power, doesn’t matter wielded by whom.
Gender stereotyping is supposed to be bad, but men are told they are evil and definitionally dangerous due to their gender all the time. And when we complain, we are told it must be this way — nothing else is possible.
Hmm.

Oh yeah, it’ll happen in my lifetime. I also said that way back in high school and once again I will be right. Anyone who isn’t making some plan to, first, get out of red states and, second, to leave the US if it all possible is insane.
