Fun fact: during early development the gonads of the human fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female. - So, if biological sex can't be changed, - And if life starts at conception, - Then all men are trans. Sorry, Republican men. You made the rules.

We aren't as humans meant to be in a state of hyper vigilance. We rotate lifeguards every 30 minutes for exactly this reason. AND YET, If you conceal-carry, that's what you're doing to yourself. My observation of people I've known who CC'd is that it becomes their personality and not in a positive way. The gun is a radioactive isotope. You are exposing yourself to its cancer every time you carry it on your person. It seeps into your brain and bones. You are raising the chances you're going to do something inexcusable because you have set yourself up for it. You're not a "wolf" protecting the "sheep". You're just a poison victim who convinced yourself that the thing you poisoned yourself with was good, actually.

Top ten signs that you might be at a Republican seder: 10. They refuse to answer the four questions without a subpoena. 9. They demand a recount of the ten plagues. 8. They defend not increasing the minimum wage on the grounds that according to Chad Gadya it still costs only two zuzzim to buy a goat. 7. The afikomen is hidden in the Cayman Islands. 6. They refuse to open the door for Elijah until they see his immigration papers. (contd.)
