I agree with the other posters. Nothing about this article is critical of Biden (or Trump for that matter).

Unless of course you think that acknowledging that some people don’t like either candidate is an anti Biden opinion… seems like a logical leap; this article is very dry.

People are allowed to be biased, anyway, this is just an internet community. Nobody here is claiming to be an objective journalist or something.

It was years ago.

Easier said than done, anyway. I was just shocked he said that. I'm sure if I wanted his statement in writing he would have written something like "I don't recommend this for women who have not yet had children because there are plenty of other effective treatments like [etc]" and nobody would care.

Someone at my work was told something similar by a different doctor (in a different state!) that he wouldn't sterilize her because she wasn't married. She had 3 children already in her mid twenties.

Pushing back on this stuff is a battle that shouldn't have to take place on the personal level. We're going backwards in women's healthcare in America, too.

I agree. I think what we’re seeing is a lot of Americans being failed by society writ large. Corporate America no longer upholds their side of the social contract (working 40hr doesn’t always guarantee enough money for a person to support themselves, let alone retirement or healthcare). They’re dumping all this money into politics to push their own narratives, and it’s blatantly obvious they’re doing it.

Why trust the process when the process is bad? Of course misinformation is everywhere. Misinformation is a symptom of our societal failures here, the internet and 24hr news is just the delivery method.

This happened to me in the USA. I told the doctor I want to be sterilized and neither my husband nor I wanted kids.

He told me it would be unethical. My husband might die and then my new husband would want children. I told him I would not change my mind, and such a man would be incompatible for marriage with me. He told me I’d change my mind. So basically, yes some hypothetical future man would want to use me for a baby factory, that’s why I can’t be sterilized.

I was 30. I’m older now, still don’t want them. I’m too ashamed to ask again for sterilization. My husband has a vasectomy scheduled soon (weird how a doctor had no problem doing that for him. Wonder what the difference is????)

Ah fuck.

As an online student, I was surprised to see my college on the map and also in red.

If my college wasn't too far away I hope I would be in jail (edit: for nonviolent civil disobedience reasons, not because I was in a fist fight or something)

For what it’s worth, I’m entertained by people needing to tell you what they think of your copy paste. It’s fun.

Bring back forum signatures!

This article is written so your grandma reposts it to her Facebook page. It’s all right wing pearl clutching:

“McHugh said these extra security measures to prevent thefts will only result in costs getting passed down to shoppers, which would make groceries even more expensive.”

Grocery prices are up because teenagers made some posters!

I suppose it might be humorous if you expect him to follow some sort of logical consistency with his insults, sure.

Fuck that orange monster.

With that out of the way, are reporters going to start telling us every time he farts in court too?

Old man with no respect for the judicial system falls asleep in court. Tune in at 11pm for more breaking news!

I’m an hourly customer service worker going to college part time as a statistician, so mostly I’d just be concerned at what sort of operation this person is running but accept the promotion.

I wonder what happens when the last whale has been milked dry.

I have some bad news for you friend.

I work at a casino. There is no end of whales. There are whales that are rich enough to sustain their habits and spend more than you or I could morally spend if we had the means. Then, there are whales that spend outside their means, burn out, and are replaced by a new person who does the same thing.

When a whale (highroller) stops coming, we usually assume they've gone to one of our competitor's casinos.

I see no reason why this wouldn't apply to real-money transactions in video games. It's just another casino.

You don’t know what you ask, traveler. My loins are too tender for you. They will surely kill you.
