There at least two owned near me. I know because at least one is warped in a carbon black color.

I never hated the look of them. I always like it when people try bold different looks for any product. But I saw one in a parking lot, and was able to put hands on it in person. That's when it's size and sharp angles immediately made me think "This seems almost intended to be a pedestrian murder machine." Even bumping into it as you walk around a stationary one, just seems unnecessarily dangerous.

The US has no free, standardized, national ID card.
Each individual state does it on their own. They all have their own rules and levels of verification.

Recently there is a national standard created. If the state ID meets that standard it has a gold star emblem in one corner. I believe part of that standard is proof of citizenship. But I'm not sure all state ID yet meet that standard, compliance has been pushed back several times; Mostly by conservative states. I think we can now see the real reason for that, instead of the commonly stated "government over reach".

That would very clearly be an example of thinking "the electorate wouldn't vote for her".

If it was her nature as a woman, the reason would be some thing like "Because women are bad at _______".
Something clearly misogynist; Instead of just thinking everyone else is misogynist.

What actual percentage of the American people do you think believes a woman can't be president? And I mean believe her nature as a woman makes her unfit, not people who believe the electorate won't vote for her.

Do you know any polls in the last year that indicate how big a contingent that would be?

I'd be shocked if it was over 0.5%. Even over 0.2% would be very surprising to me. Of course to get polls that precise you'd need to ask like 100,000 people.

Check out this video.
It explains why you can pretty reliably bet whatever Trump says isn't what he'll actually do.
Hopefully it's help you calm down a little. Or it may make things worse.

Witchblade from 2001

Easily more than a decade ahead of it's time in many ways. It's themes, style, and narrative would all be premier TV stuff today.

Part of me hates myself for asking this. You clearly put a lot of effort into this.

Why? There are at least a couple actual blogging options with ActivityPub support. Why try to force Lemmy into something it isn't.

Sanctuary

I specifically remember thinking after the first episode, "This is cool, but I can see why it'll never get a second season." Then it got 4.

But again he's a superhero accountant. Not a healthy well adjusted person with autism. I wouldn't expect to relate to everything.

Besides there is nothing in the movie that suggests he needs to do those things. I saw that as a routine instilled in him by his abusive father. It's not some example of a proper coping technique he would have learned in the great looking facility his father refused to send him to.

I never thought the movie was presenting him or his brother as happy well adjusted people. The abuse they were raised with was quite obvious.

Disagree. I felt seen.
But I'm not a superhero accountant, so I could be wrong

What fate have I chosen?
Is Canada planing a preemptive attack against the US!?
I'll need some popcorn. The view from New Mexico will be great.

Ok. So even though you don't support some things your government does, it's everyone's moral duty to blame and punish you for it.
Understood. Good day sir.
