Artificially. They jack up the price so that they can *say* they're giving you a big discount when you're actually just paying the regular price. The example used is perfect.

Raise the price of a $600 product by $200 so it's now $800. Then you can put it "on sale" for $600 and *say* you're giving a 25% discount, despite selling something for the exact price you would have a week ago.

Then Black Friday ends, and the price goes back up to $800, and you just keep it at that price.

What do you want them to do? They've filibustered, they've marched, they've drummed up resistance. They're not in power right now. they're doing what they can as a minority party. Some moreso than other for sure.

The longest Fillibuster in History (beating one from 1957) was helt on April 1st of this year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker%27s_marathon_speech. Dems are doing shit. They haven't given in and let republicans just strip away ACA subsidies

All protests are threats. "This is what we want, this is us being peacful. Look how many of us are willing to physically show up for this cause. Don't make us get more physical than this." They're also to encourage those who are scared or tired. "we care about this enough to show up. You'll be safe if you do too. you have allies."

It's been a long time since we've had to act on the threats of protests, but don't be the idiot who thinks they're meaningless (or continue being a troll IDC)

Practiced communism has been *authoritarian* in almost all cases, but that's very different from fascistic. faschists and communists hate eachother. In the 30s in germany they killed all the socalists and communists that had any power, in the 20s in Russia they killed all the Tzarists and faschists.

Most gender restrictions in sports were actually put in place because audiences in the 40s disliked seeing women beat men in their top sports, or simply because, for years, women weren't allowed to compete at all.

In modern days, some league divisions, such as fencing, are maintained to protect men from the much more violent and aggressive women's league. I know from experience.

What are you talking about when you say "*very* recent"? We have records of trans people dating back to ancient Egypt. We have people trying to transition with hormones as far back as 1400. Modern surgeries started being developed in the 1930s, the most widely used has been around since the 70s. Modern hormones have been used since the 30s as well.

The bill specifically lists REAL ID as being accepted without any supporting documents, (Birth certificate)

it will take a driver's license as long as it's "Real ID" which a lot of people's are without even realizing. I didn't notice mine was until I checked. Just look for a black or gold star (or a bear?) in the top right corner

also dosen't know anything about Percy Jackson, Percy didn't kill his stepdad; he sent the head of a gorgon to his mother, who turned his stepdad and his abusive friends into statues. (She only married the guy so that his alcoholism would mask the smell of godhood on her son, because she wasn't allowed to reveal his father was Poseidon, because the big three gods had all sworn not to have any more kids (and all broken this oath secretly))

When living one's life becomews illegal and dangerous (i.e. transwomen being put into men's prison and forcibly detransitioned, denied (sometimes medically necessary) hormones for "lying about sex on government documents" (law being proposed in Texas)) What option is there but to leave? And why should we wait until they start rounding us up?

Any support I have of that nature is not local to begin with. So there's nothing to replicate

it would depend on where I was moving to, I can't say for sure, and the answer will be different for different people, but for the area, I'm currently in, likely up to three months to find a job, then two more months to work enough to be able to provide proof of income to satisfy apartments.

How you assess "worthy" is going to be a point of contention no matter what.

I wish I was rich enough to move away from the state I'm in or had enough of a support network, or skills that could get me a job, or assurance I won't end up homeless in this new place. Hell I'm struggling to find an apartment that will let me print before I start my new job *in the state I already live in*

Serrano insisted that his brother, Porfilio Serrano, was innocent and then threatened the victim and her mother, the report said.

I would strongly argue that there dosen't have to, she posted this on their homes, demonstrating a clear knowledge of where they live.

Any lawyer, judge, and jury would disagree with you.
