It’s not about the deadlines or the age of the amendments that have been proposed. The problem is that in our current media setup all it takes is one rich asshole who doesn’t like an amendment to literally spam the entire world with propaganda against said amendment. And because the bar for ratification is so high it ends up being impossible.
I live in illinois. We’ve got a very liberal establishment here. But when we wanted to change our constitution to allow for a progressive income tax. One billionaire funneled millions of dollars into an ad campaign to shitcan the entire idea. And it worked.


I think the absolute failure of the ERA has proven unequivocally that ratifying amendments to the Constitution are no longer possible in an age where mass media has broad and instant reach.
There will always be someone powerful who opposes any amendment to the Constitution. And they will always make themselves heard loudly around the world, thereby making a consensus completely impossible.


Did you even read the article?
Considering the number of times I have seen this exact scenario enacted by a man on women that I know, yes it is indeed a real problem that adults have.


The way I read this is that they’re trying to weaponize autism. They see people who are neurodivergent as a resource they can tap into.


When your fucking cheerleaders are criticizing you you know you fucked up. But unfortunately we’re talking about Trump here. All he’s going to do is suddenly decide that Fox News is no longer his friend and start criticizing them.


Thanks for the info. Didn’t know that shit was on my phone. Deleted.
If you happen to remember the second app name, please post it.


Indeed. No one ever thinks that something like this would happen to them, until it does.
This article needs to be shared and reshared as much as possible so people understand the dangers of putting your faith in a large corporation like that.


You try reading articles before commenting on them. Because as the person you’re commenting to stated, the article says they purchased the gift card themselves.


Yeah, and i find it funny that these people voted for a party that consistently shits on climate change legislation and conservation efforts yet their entire livelihood is being wiped out due to drought condition caused by both climate change and lack of conservation.


This right here is the answer. There are so many devices you can plug into those things that you don’t really need the crap that they installed natively.


Yeah, really feeling the 1939 Nazi Germany vibes.


I’m sorry but what was wrong with Zootopia? I thought that movie was quite excellent.


I will bet you a million bucks that Disney put a clause in there that Sora would not be able to generate Disney porn.
Literally not on of those scenarios you brought up would b solved by the question “When was your last period?” These are all edge cases and shit happens.
Also, possible liability is solved by thinking and consideration, not blindly asking pointless questions. It also doesn’t equate to “Legally required”. A woman comes in with a broken arm and you ask “When was your last period?”, she’s gonna be annoyed that you aren’t addressing the fucking broken arm. If you’re gonna give her pain killers or an X-ray, you tell her that they can be harmful to pregnancies and if she’s worried about that then do a preg test, otherwise treat her like a person not a walking incubation pod.
To be honest throwing out the Star wars extended universe stuff was a good call. Adopting that mess would have been completely impossible. All the original actors has aged out and replacing them with new actors would have been a big disaster.
But you are right in that they started a new trilogy without any idea where they were going with it. And that’s JJ Abrams all over. Him and his stupid mystery box where he invents something without having any idea what the end game for it is. He’s literally done this with every property he’s touched.
Doctors are not legally required to ask. And, barring any interventions from a supernatural being, a woman who has never had sex or hasn’t had sex in a long time cannot get pregnant. Also, women who had hysterectomies can’t get pregnant. Yet when these women tell doctors that there’s no chance they can be pregnant the doctor barrels on saying “yeah but when is your last period?” it is simply an insult to their intelligence and bodily autonomy. You have entirely too much faith in doctors and their “knowledge and integrity”. Doctors are human beings and they are just as fallible as everybody else. And continually asking questions that annoy your patients is not good bedside manner.
And though it’s true that a woman can be pregnant and not know it, they are also capable of understanding that they can’t possibly be pregnant. Because they I’ve been living with their own bodies longer than doctors have been asking them questions about them.
Here’s an idea. Before the doctor proceeds with whatever procedure they ask is there any chance you might be pregnant. Instead of the first words out of their mouth upon seeing the patient is a woman being “what is your time of the month?”
MY AUTISM IS MORE INTENSE THAN YOUR AUTISM!!!
