Everything is not online and even if it was there is a huge problem called the digital divide. Not everyone has the same access to the internet. Libraries help close that divide in more than one way. A bigger issue is digital literacy, we may be in the most technological era so far but that does not mean people know how to work within it.

You honestly are throwing me a stumper of a question.....how is it possible to be sexist to someone who claims to be non-binary? A legitimate question.

If you're not claiming to be a woman, then I can't be sexist against a woman because your not a woman. Not a man, so can't be sexist against a man.

So how can you be sexist against someone who is neither man or woman?

Edit: And blocked. I guess they didn't want to explain this one.

Also curious! Definitely the cheapest way to get a battery install in the short term, but you don’t own it at the end of the ten year term and there’s no option to buy (at least from my reading of the lease terms). Over the longer term, financing an install from somewhere else and taking the GMP rebates seems like it could be a better deal…but maybe others have better insight on this?

This is your smoking gun of hate from that article,

"To say in the words of J.K. Rowling this past week where she wrote, ‘All I’m asking, all I want is for similar empathy, similar understanding to be extended to the many millions of women whose sole crime is wanting their concerns to be heard without receiving threats or abuse,’” Lankford said on the Senate floor,"

That. Just jam packed with hate! The nerve! Wanting similar empathy! The horror!

And you keep saying Vermont organizations. I said party city has balloons too, we aren't writing about their Vermont locations and the Chinese balloon because it's not a real connection. It's trying to grasp onto a topic and make it local, when it's not.

Also, the reference to Volkswagen...phew, you went on another unrelated tangent there. The point is Volkswagen is from Nazi Germany. The car manufacturer still exists today. That doesn't make the drivers Nazis. Playing a Harry Potter video game does not make someone anti-trans or whatever other term you want to fit in there.

And again, someone said a shitty comment to her about how she sleeps at night, what are you expecting for an answer? You know the answer you're going to get, a shitty response to a shitty question.

Please stay on your meds or up the dosage.

Edit: here's the response for comment below because blocked.

You don't think there's still family members from the Nazi party benefiting from Volkswagen sales? C'mon now.

I'm not getting a Harry Potter video game, I don't give a shit about Harry Potter.

>If not, I hope Vermont stays taken from you.

What?

Revealing that I agree that people who menstruate are women? Is agreeing with a transphobe?

So you wouldn't say that people who menstruate are women?

So, going to show her attacking people or just going to say it's what she's doing?

I wouldn't say I'm callous, more a lack of pandering.

Vermont is a country state on earth, maybe Vermonters should donate to organizations in Bahrain instead of Vermont ones, it's all connected and belongs in this sub after all

Edit: Vermont is indeed a state, not a country. Why must 5th grade geography fail me!?

No. Absolutely not. It is 100% the fault of the following driver, every time. What if a moose runs in the road, or any of a billion situations you can imagine emergency braking being necessary? If you're that far up someone's ass that then slamming on the brakes ends up with you rear ending them, give some more fucking following distance.

3 seconds absolute minimum.

Driving home today from Burlington and almost got in a few accidents. People are whipping their cars out of streets and people not wanting anyone to be near them in speed. One guy went like 60 just to prove a point on Kennedy. It was weird. Cant tell if its out of staters that moved here or if people are just angry because of the weather but people need to slow the fuck down.

If someone brake checks you and you smash into them, it's your fault. You need to leave enough space to safely come to a stop regardless of the situation.

What if a deer runs across the road or some other situation requiring emergency braking? You are 100% in the wrong if you read end someone. Three seconds minimum following distance

I’m not surprised, we’re in a digital age where impressionable kids are being blasted with rich, beautiful, and successful people. Creating a complete and deep sense of inadequacy.

Meanwhile they’ve lived through a plague and are now facing a crumbling economy, inflation, and WW3. Would you be happy growing up in these circumstances?

That's your connection? People paly video games here too? There's nothing Vermont tied to any of it.

And if people "must" play a video game? Do you think they have no internal agency?

You know the biggest demographic who will play the game, people who like Harry Potter. It's not some anti-trans ideal to like Harry Potter just as someone driving a Volkswagen isn't a Nazi.

Show me where her hate is? I won't even ask anymore how it impacts Vermonters because that's just a rhetorical and leading question, because it doesn't.
