Life got simpler, but more frustrating, when I accepted that no one actually wants to hear my thoughts if they contradict what they’re already saying. I just stay quiet and let people stay wrong now.

Nope. Comments were full of agreement. LinkedIn is a wild place

Context? Why is he doing this?

Hire a real estate agent. They get paid from the sellers, and having someone who knows the process is massively helpful.

Likewise, the community on blahaj has been so supportive and helpful as I’ve figured out my gender and started transitioning! It’s a great space

Foucault’s boomerang goes thunk

Yep, I’m right there with you on this one

That is the most on cocaine I’ve seen anyone be

Yep, same here. It’s the curse of being a leftist in a swing state. I vote Dem for harm reduction, even though they’re far from what I’d actually like to be voting for.

He’s a politician. All they do is talk. But for however much it’s worth, I much prefer his words over Paxton’s.

Talarico was an outspoken critic of legislation that would have required the display of the Ten Commandmentsin all elementary and secondary classrooms, on the constitutional grounds of separation of church and state. He called the measure “un-American” and “un-Christian”.[43]

In 2025, he continued to be a major voice in opposition to placing the Ten Commandments in Texas public schools. The specific legislation, SB 10, required every classroom to visibly display a poster containing the Ten Commandments, sized at least 16 by 20 inches. When the bill was first brought to the floor of the Texas House, Talarico called a point of order that delayed its passage.[47]

In a 2023 guest sermon, Talarico called Christian nationalism “the worship of power—social power, economic power, political power, in the name of Christ”. He has said Christian nationalists have turned Jesus “into a gun-toting, gay-bashing, science-denying, money-loving, fear-mongering fascist”, arguing that it is “incumbent on all Christians to confront it and denounce it”.[83]

Yeah, that’s fair. But I think it’s also fair to say that Talarico has quite publicly demonstrated that he isn’t one of those shitheads.

You know, something like 70% of the country is Christian. I have plenty of reasons to dislike and distrust organized religion, but you have to recognize that there are progressive Christians who don’t use their faith to oppress people. There are some Christians who take the “love one another” thing seriously and don’t suck.

Ah gotcha, thanks! I’ve heard you should run at a pace at which you could still keep a conversation going. Probably gets to the same idea

What is a zone two run?

Right? Holy shit. I am surprised and a bit perturbed by how many people are on board with sexism in this thread

She probably didn’t. Just ordered it with some other stuff from a grey market pharmacist, if I had to guess

I’m glad I’m not the only one
