The "cannot serve two masters" argument was used as a reason not to elect the first Catholic US President, JFK. I find it to be pretty uncompelling.

The important thing is that the US not recognize any titles.

If your goal is to act as a deterrent then harsher sentences do not work, at least according to research.

At this point, we think it is fair to say that we know of no reputable criminologist who has looked carefully at the overall body of research literature on “deterrence through sentencing” who believes that crime rates will be reduced, through deterrence, by raising the severity of sentences handed down in criminal courts.

There is no limit. At some point The Onion will make an ironic story about it that gets reposted every time a woman getting killed by anti-abortion policies makes the news.

This video is exactly why I am in favor of voting booths over mail-in ballots.

If you are unable to vote in person, then voting should be easy to do early. But we should try hard to get people into the voting booth.

I don't see much negatively. But I use lemmynsfw.

Warning: Taken from decades-old memories of things that I wasn't involved in or paying much attention to! Anyway...

In Virginia a man sued the state like 30 years ago because they wanted to charge him to change his name, when a woman could change her name free when she got married. The state could either have charged women or made it free for all. They chose the later.

You're very pretty, but are you fun to spend time with? 🤔
