First United submitted a cash bid of $3.5 million dollars. By contrast, Cicack said, The Onion’s bid contained only $1.75 million in cash, alongside a waiver from the Connecticut families setting aside any of their earnings from the auctioned assets.

But Cicack challenged the use of this waiver, arguing it was “conditional and contingent” and “the equivalent of ‘monopoly’ money” and “simply has no value.”

All money is monopoly money. It’s all fake paper that has no intrinsic value, because the true value is what everyone agrees on. Their waiver ensure more monopoly money to the plaintiffs than your monopoly money bid.

You lost. Shut up. Go home.

I’m sorry that this is how the world treats you. It’s not fair and you shouldn’t have to put up with it. Thank you for sharing, I’ll keep you in my thoughts.

Idk.

If we are talking DESERVES than I would be open to discussions of launching him into thr sun somehow.

As Trump ascends to the white house, his ever loyal lawyer and once hailed “Hero of New York” struggles to retain his basic possessions.

Which I find fucking hilarious, but should be a warning to the current MAGA faithful. lol

There clearly needs to be some counter-measure to misinformation about testosterone therapy, this is not like trans healthcare.

The main hurdle to trans healthcare is simmiliar misinformation spread by those same type of manosphere or evangelical actors. Many will say that trans folk receiving care are simmiliarly brainwashed or misinformed. I don’t see value in a 3rd party saying a patient is receiving care from a doctor for the" wrong" reasons.

Disinformation will always exist, especially among the general public. Which is the exact reason informed consent and a knowledgeable health professional explaining the risks is so important. It’s not our place to say another is misguided in the persuit of reproductive or gender affirming care.

Or is that the bridge too far?

I certainly don’t think so. The right to live as you please should also extend to not live as you please. However just as we should make knowledgeable medical professionals available to those seeking gender or reproductive care, we should do the same seeking of life care.

I get regular blood tests to ensure medication is working as intended, so mental health screening should be applied to those suffering from depression or other mental health issues to ensure that their given adequate alternatives. While still remaining available to those suffering chronic conditions that significantly affect quality of life. I am also a disabled person who live in persistent pain without a clear end date. Who is to say when exactly another person life suffering should be extended purely for the sake of extending life irrespective of the quality?

At the end of the day, bodily autonomy is the ideal but informed consent given by medical professional about risks and alternatives is the method.

There are dark days ahead.

Gender affirming care is not just for trans people, it should be available to everyone. While I can understand the unknown worries with studies only being done on older men, this is a clear sign that research on younger men should be prioritized.

When I was first prescribed my own hormone therapy as a trans woman, it was made quite clear that there was not a large body of research done on the long term effects. Which was an acceptable risk to improve my life drastically. It’s called informed consent, cis men and women deserve the same choice. Just as men do with hair implants or women getting breast implants.

Bodily autonomy should always be the final word. It’s their body, so it’s their choice.

Depends, if my 35 year old marries a 65 year old then I chalk it up to different life goals and preferences for consenting adults and enjoy the lavish wedding.

If my 18 year old marries anyone over the age of lets say… 21? I start talking about power imbalances, finical abuse and grooming non-stop until they are divorced. Honestly, even if their spouse was a reasonable age, I would do my very best to talk ANY 18 year old out of marriage.

I don’t want you to feel like you’re getting it from all sides but…

I apologize if I insinuated that all gamers are guilty of this kind of behavior, that was not my intention at all

You really gotta ignore those “not all gamers” type of posters. They are literally adding nothing to the conversation. If you are a normal person who doesn’t harass women only, then you should also be a normal person who doesn’t take offense when the community as a whole is criticized.

I love when people say “like crack” who’ve obviously never done crack.

3/5th compromise.

13th amendment has the word except in it.

Jim crow laws and trageted over policing.

Slavery is an unfortunate but undeniably long and rich part of american history.

So I believe in aliens only in a statistical sense. There is a lot of space out there so SOMETHING has to be elsewhere. But those same stats tell me that the odds of it being intelligent is low, intelligent enough to contact us very low, existing at the same time as us (since we are a blip in the history of the universe) astronomically low and having the ability, or desire, to travel to us hilariously, laughably, insanely low.

I don’t think people who say aliens have been to earth are serious people. Sorry.

That being a “nice guy” isn’t a selling point, it’s the bare fucking minimum.

Look I wouldn’t be excited for a Clash of Clans PC port, so why should I care about a knock off clone getting a port?

Hey come on now, let’s not get a silly thing like facts, logic or reason get in the way of lib bigotry. This is their golden ticket excuse to take a turn demonizing us.

I entirely agree with your point, it’s hypocritical “progressive” bullshit to maintain slavery.

But if I’m being honest, California is on my short list to move to because my state doesn’t support same sex marriage and I expect Obergefell to be overturned. It’s horrorific to be in this position but that’s me and my partners reality.

Transmetropolitan nails this.

Unfortunately for us as a civilization, the series has aged quite well.

The name itself is a fucking joke about Elons pet Cryptocoin.
