Anon discovers religion, inshallah may the spirits watch over him.
I've even seen a moderator on Lemmy describe "freedom of speech" as nothing more than a right wing wolf whistle and banning someone.
A minor point (but maybe English is a second language): what right wingers do is "dog whistle," as in a sound so high-pitched only dogs can hear it. A "wolf whistle" is, funny enough, a kind of non-verbal cat-call. That is, it's a sound expressing interest or approval, specifically its the hi-lo whistle like Phwooooot- WOOooooo.
Please take down these candid photos of my partner and I!
I swear there was an ancient funny blog that introduced me to huitlacoche in the early 00's. I finally tried it a few years back (in Mexico) and it's pretty good!
I thought the blog was Steve Don't Eat It! but I've only found those archived posts and no corn smut. Maybe it was an old Cracked or Something Awful listicle?
One of my favorite theories on classic "grey" aliens is that they look like that due to a native low-gravity environment: big heads and eyes, frail little bodies.
Though violence is not lawful, when it is offered in self-defence or for the defence of the defenceless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission. The latter befits neither man nor woman. Under violence, there are many stages and varieties of bravery. Every man must judge this for himself. No other person can or has the right.

He added that employees should "tune out" criticism of the insurance company, saying that it "does not reflect reality."
Anytime someone tells you to ignore the advice or criticisms of everyone else but them that is the reddest of flags. Literally abuser behavior.
This is true of health care too and was a major driving factor behind the ACA. If you (if everyone) goes in for a yearly or twice yearly checkup and health screening, then dangerous conditions like cancer, disease, injury, and so on get caught sooner. The sooner you catch a problem, the easier and cheaper it is to fix.
If you dont get regular screenings, then people find out they have cancer too late, usually after an emergency (an ER visit), when cost of care is very expensive. The ACA made the case that getting everyone more preventative care would reduce overall health costs.
Another factor is that hospitals do help the uninsured, then pass those costs along to the insured. There are so many hidden costs in our system due to cruelty and inefficiency that would go away if we had universal health care. But the key difference is that the current system funnels all the benefits/value (all the money) into the hands of a small number of people, while actually universal healthcare spreads the benefits out over all of society.
