Insertion is hell. Not unheard of for the doctor to tear the cervix during the procedure. Thankfully most doctors still refuse to offer any pain management for the procedure so you can know exactly what that feels like

I’d slightly disagree with the first point only because pension funds were invested the same way a personal 401k is. Either way your retirement money goes to inherently evil products

Buying a house I’d argue is freeing. Yes you can’t move next year, but in about 5 or so you’ll have equity (baring any major market downturns) and can always sell. These days a lot of lenders will even allow you to pause payments and take it out of the sale proceeds.

Better than dumping cash into nothingness.

Plus if you absolutely have to due to lack of equity you can rent it out for a time before selling or maybe even moving back.

Owning a home is less flexible, but still the better move financially

Have you been to Laramie? It has quite a large queer population these days.

My guess is it’s due to the state university being there. Honestly Laramie and Cheyenne are the best places to live if you are queer in the state.

Obviously this post is evidence that the issue is it’s still Wyoming, but I generally don’t hop on the victim blame train. Queer people deserve to live where they want. They shouldn’t fear violence, and we shouldn’t judge them for living where they choose.

Zimmerman was Hispanic for what it’s worth.

Seems as longs as your crime is against another minority straight, cisgender, and conservative man is adequate

I just thought it was cool

I’m sorry you think a politician would think 1kwh billed at 1500 is a good idea because it involves a “big flashy” project?

This isn’t Trump we’re talking about

Devolved into? We have political images from 1812 complaining about gerrymandering in the US.

We probably wouldn’t

As the French showed if enough heads roll you may end your monarchy. Might flirt with a dictator in the process, but that can also be taken care of

Idk when you call her a purchased person, essentially a slave, you describe a person that would have very limited agency

I’d argue you can’t have both here

Clearly every single one of those buildings housed hamas

Okay so they actually do have dwarfism. That person is 16 years old and should be pretty close to their adult height.

So they have dwarfism and are lying about their age

Flavors are fine, crackdown on the sale to minors. Adults deserve to have things that taste good if that’s what they want

Such a weird fucking thing to say about a stranger you’ve never met.

I know plenty of people that stopped vaping after becoming pregnant. And yeah it sucked for them, but they knew it’s the right thing to do.

I’m so very tired of people automatically assuming the worst of others

Of course there have been a few periods in history where men died in droves from wars.

Not that war usually works at well for anyone

Wow talk about false equivalency.

Environments are designed for forest fires. They need fire to function. Which is why there are intensive control burn programs.

The issue is before we began trying to let our forests burn properly people spent decades not burning the forests and trying to stop every fire immediately. This led to way too much fuel being available and combined with climate and you get fires that are outside of what they should be naturally. Hopefully we can continue to correct to the point where we can let fires burn naturally. Sometimes people struggle to understand that we’ve been shaping the environment for decades and it’s going to take decades of work to fix. Just walking away would not have the intended result.

Anyway back to the need to cull or manage hunts, you clearly have no idea the ecological issues overpopulation causes. When populations get out of control you can have an environment that becomes completely overgrazed. This is a disaster for the plant communities, and causes ripple effects throughout the whole ecosystem. Leading to the extinction of threatened plant and animal species and a loss of biodiversity.

Naturally it would not get to that point. We should reintroduce predators. Until then it is absolutely necessary to cull some species. I’d much rather people go and kill a couple hundred deer every few years (most parks do not do yearly hunts) than to lose vulnerable species.

And like I said it’s not the hunters preventing predator reintroduction it’s primarily ranchers with a helping hand from NIMBYs. Truthfully I’ve never heard a case of hunters saying anything at all about reintroduction.

Yeah I spent the better part of my adulthood working to preserve lands with the park service.

Over population happens it’s an issue. Some parks like Yellowstone have been able to reintroduce wolves. It was great. Other parks actually host hunts. However sometimes when populations get out of control people have to go and cull species. Culling is most wasteful imo, and expensive for public lands

I’m sorry these are the facts. Ecology doesn’t really care how you feel about it.

Also recrational hunting didn’t cause predators to go extinct. That was a direct action of the government paying bounties to kill North America’s natural predators. Wolves would have still been killed by farmers, but the hunting was driven by the government then.

Personally I prefer reintroduction of predators. The issue is it gets political fast and every farmer within 500 miles of a planned reintroduction calls congress and lobbyists get involved. When that option is gone, managed hunting becomes the most effective in terms of practically and cost to manage populations.

Please stop comparing scientifically backed land management to conservative dog whistles

Right so the guy with extra guns can give them to those with less.

I think if all civilian guns were equally distributed you do get about 3 guns per person

Truthfully since most predators have been eliminated many species need population control.

Either the average person hunts or fish and wildlife has to go out there and perform culls.
