Fuck right the fuck off. Training citizens how to safely and appropriately interact with the police is the exact opposite of civilization. Cops signed up for this. They are the ones with the power. With the authority. With the responsibility. It is absolutely outrageous that they are given a gun and authorization to use it without adequate training on how to respond to a traffic stop when the driver doesn't have their hands at 10&2.

I never received any training on how to safely interact with a phlebotomist when givinh blood to ensure I don't bleed to death. Why, because it's not my fucking job!

  1. Tax dollars spent on making a person whole, to help them reach their full potential, and become a more productive member of society is a net positive, whatever their job is. Should be more concerned about the tax dollars spent to bomb children and hospitals.

  2. If serving in the military were such a privilege, every branch wouldn't need recruiters at every school to trick children into enlisting. The reason suicide rates are so high in the LGBT+ community is because of the overwhelming and unrelenting discrimination they face in every facet of their lives. Veterans similarly face a high suicide rate because of all the trauma they incur while serving and Uncle Sam doesn't give a shit about them once they've served their purpose.

Gender dysmorphia is a diagnosable condition for which the treatment is reassignment, so it absolutely is service impacting.

What is your impression of the growing sinophobia in America? In reaction to the president's recent diagnosis, I have seen multiple members of congress and other government representatives suggest we hold China accountable for attempted assassination. Even on reddit, in this very AMA, anything short of complete denouncement brings about accusations of being a Chinese bot or blind nationalist. How do you recommend we denounce credible atrocities without succumbing to manufactured consent?
