Correction, he has no intention of 'fighting crime' of any kind. Just 'stopping cities living at all.'

Anyway, if you remember the 80s, this band was banned from the US under Reagan's 'obscenity laws' despite never saying any of Carlin's dirty words. Also, St. Uncle Bernie ran a state thirty miles away when I was homeless. There was no damn shelter there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc-I...

I dunno, my old stomping grounds are pretty intense. I didn't exactly leave home willingly but it's quieter down here and I'm mellowing out. Japan's casual animism would suit me just fine though.

Think about it, even in the ostensibly-most trans friendly municipality in the United States, this most recent shooter wrapped up in Catholic damage can't make it at a *pot dispensary* so decides the online Right will accept him better as an anti-trans 'detransitioner' but as such blows away...
youngcrone.bsky.social (@youngcrone.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not even though. None of the four cases that can be cited are trans people that could access the medical stuff needed and ....the rest of life, right? Name one.
youngcrone.bsky.social (@youngcrone.bsky.social) reply parent
I would however vehemently suggest our society not take all possible hope away from trans kids. When it was my generation, we kicked arse but believed society would grow up and that we could get to that 'it gets better.' Take that away? Well, don't. Hidden or not, trans people learn fight.
youngcrone.bsky.social (@youngcrone.bsky.social) reply parent
Seriously, another one of those cases was that fat bearded macho-posting Club Q shooter with a smartass lawer saying 'Well, now he's nonbinary so ha ha no hate crime.' No real people knew a damn thing about it. Most of the rest were simple lies. None were trans people with health care.
youngcrone.bsky.social (@youngcrone.bsky.social) reply parent
I doubt the 4 number. The last one was a public 'detransitioner.' Give up zero ground on these bigots' say-so. Other cases are similar.

Elon got a lot of advance signups on the idea 'This is a stupid offroad toy that looks like a design I stole from the Cyberpunk 2017 box set, font and all... but it's shit offroad too. By the time any actually were delivered no one wanted them and they had to ban selling them somehow.
