One of the most consistent themes with furries I have noticed is unapologetic sex positivity.

That burns a lot of folks who insist sex is shameful and something to apologize for.

“Your pee is too scrumptious!”

The NATOist right-wing really felt disenfranchised by Trump and that’s been playing out for about 8 years now.

Just that there tends to be significant lack of interaction with outgroups there. All I was noting.

Was my job working for a rural health department from 2016-2018.

Went to a less rural health dept from 2018-2023 and still ended up dealing with all the conservatives outside city limits anyway.

So yes.

It’s amazing how much conservatism relies on there not being that first conversation to begin with. Seems like a win at best or a wash at worst.

I can’t recall if it is the MBFC person or the bot maker but one of them staunchy doesn’t think there’s a distinction between ‘liberal’ and ‘left’.

So the inherent bias in their bias analysis is off the charts. Xzibit would be proud.

With more tongue.

You gotta represent American backing somehow though or else it just feels too intentionally wrong.

I think that’s precisely why there is such a need to blame the border, actually.

'Diddy Party’and ‘Diddy’ being up there likely means some clown argued that ‘Diddy Party’ was a distinct term.

A led to B led to C led to D.

Extremely generally speaking: It more that industries are required to submit information and applications. The regulatory body then determines if it meets the legal minimum requirements.

The process of determining the latter is much slower than the former. The timeline can be as short as 60 days, depending. (I don’t think that’s the case here. I think this is years long. But studies take that long.) And industries also tend to fight every step of the way, even when caught flagrantly violating agreements, orders, and the plain text of the law.

So industries have incredible power and influence over their regulators as there is a very distinct political cycle to it. Most can wait the 4-8 years for party rule to swap.

They very well had deadlines in the application process where EPA might’ve had questions or concerns about something but had no legal/further/any ability to hold up the process, which allows approval to move forward. EPA may not have felt they had the grounds without further analysis, or whatever to hold things up knowing if there was a real issue they could still withdraw approval, like so.

A lot of government approvals are automatic and the regulatory body has legally intervene to do anything about it within a strict timeframe.

The EPA gets a lot of data through a whole chains of custody from local and state agencies who themselves largely collect data as self reported from industries.

It is no mystery that this info wasn’t readily available for analysis( or with confidence.)

Which is odd because NOAA has like, no regulatory power. The regulated community kinda loves agencies like NOAA because they can tell them to pound sand over anything and that’s that

They’re not the EPA or anything.

They’re just past the end of the pier, those big things that aren’t seals.

Note the lack of drinking water and sanitary facilities with the crowd that size and become a wizard that predicts the future now past.

The look in her face reminds me so much of my old girl. Sixteen years of semi feral intensity. I was her only human. It is a special kind of bond to have.

The ability to disrespect UN resolutions is kind of the expected, normal outcome for any entity within America’s sphere of influence.
