@TimWardCam My goodness. Your diction makes the suspect you're British, right? Well, the idea that your police over there would actually discourage locking people up is just mind-boggling to this USian. Over here, our police tend to advocate longer and longer sentences for everything.

"Your brain isn't fully formed/you're not really an adult until age 25" is not really supported by neuroscience - and this factoid is doing harm to people. We need to drop it. https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html #neuroscience #science

@evacide Okay, but at least 20% of the time, it has to replace that "long sigh" with "*takes a long drag from a cigarette like Werner Herzog and stares at you with eyes that have Seen Too Much*".

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I'm glad practically everyone is voting Yes on this, but I don't think it's that meaningful.

Hardly anyone will admit that they "wouldn't vote for a woman". What they mean is, they'd vote for some hypothetical woman, sure... but any *actual* woman candidate you offer? They have some reason why they won't vote for *her*.

Every. Single. One.

It's something we saw re: Clinton, Warren, and others. I'm sure it'd hold true for queer candidates too. ☹
