You're not accounting for people who are restrained from being who they truly are or who they want to be by the perceived consequences until they're intoxicated and don't care about the consequences anymore. Bigots who might only say bigoted things in "safe" company unless they drink too much aren't virtuous people holding back intrusive thoughts. They are bigots who finally feel free to do so.

According to WHIO, who obtained an “investigative file” and communications within the office, Rodgers said he was prescribed sleep aids and that his ‘out of character’ actions were a “documented side effect.”

Ah, the classic Roseanne defense. Most people don't start spewing hate under the influence of medication if they don't normally use that kind of language when they're sober.

We draw, somehow, more votes from Trump.

Weird. Who would have thought batshit crazy would also like greedy, hateful, and stupid?

This isn't a smoking gun.

You can't trust that ChatGPT is telling the truth, but also the use of copyrighted material is acceptable under a fair use standard written into US copyright law. Whether it is fair use or not is up to a court to decide, but "without permission" doesn't automatically mean "illegally."

Tech bro grifters aren't punk.

It's the most Gen X thing that Gen X gets left out of the generation wars and couldn't give a damn.

Depending on your situation, being married could actually mean you pay more in taxes.

Hence the desire for a single player offline version of the game...

Not everyone believes that devs are the authority on what makes a game fun, which is why mods are so common on PC games.

but that's part of it, just like irl.

Some people might not want annoying aspects of IRL in their fantasy escapism games involving roleplay...

That's the part I always hated. It was hostile towards people who liked the lore but didn't want to group up with some guy named LaserButt4000 who didn't want to go to the same dungeon as you, but was happy to get your rare loot in a bad roll of the dice.

Private servers with scaling for dungeon soloing were a godsend. WoW is actually awesome as a single player game. It's unfortunate the devs never realized that.

This is a misleading perspective. Why would you need to codify "settled law?" SCOTUS had ruled that it was a constitutional right already so you wouldn't need a separate law.

You're also ignoring Casey. It wasn't just Roe.

They also don't typically say they're "pro-abortion."

The infographic states "facts" that weren't relevant at the time.

Malice and arrogant ignorance can have the same functional result and at least malice would involve them being honest with themselves. Arrogant ignorance is worse because they're judging and harassing you with their ignorance but think they're saving your soul.
