I can’t speak for kitty litter box, but I can tell you this, there are kids in our local schools that identify as cats or cat type creatures. The other children called them Furrys. Now I hope no one comes on here and calls my kids liars. They are the ones who tell me about it. According to them it’s nothing compared to some of the things happening. We are well past smoking in the boys room and necking in the hallways.

I’ll bet you have “fact” checked this 👏👏👏Have you watched news at 9 this morning as well ?

Who cares?

No, there aren’t schools installing litter boxes for kids…

Why this mess continues is beyond me. Why people even care how kids express themselves is beyond me.

I grew up in the 90s. A lot of kids thought of themselves as a whale after watching Free Willy. Lots of kids identified as lions after they watched The Lion King. Some grew up to be marine biologists and many grew up with a deeper respect for animals.

No one complains about the overweight middle age desk jocks who watch Top Gun and think they’re fighter pilots…

But I guess the fun is to dehumanize and bully marginalized groups in one way or another. A sad way to live.

This is the inherent issue: you don't see how absurd asking something like this is.

I could give you a million similies and you'd still thump your Floridian pride (and repeatedly call the dissenting opinion "comrade", like a boomer), which tells me everything I need to know.

"I hate that the government mandated seatbelts." Sometimes it takes an (at the time) unpopular opinion to make drastic, beneficial change. Spare me the "EVs won't make a change", please.

On topic, though: I see trains of thought like Wyoming's as pretty dangerous and short-sighted. Making enough laws like these that gamble on the future could really hurt states like Wyoming in the long run if they guess wrong, for an unforeseeable amount of time.
We're talking generational financial and social ramifications.

You strategically insult me, and then go on to make a stupid comparison using seatbelts as an example. Mandating safety is different than passing laws picking one manufacture to win over another, or one type of technology to win over another. There’s no way you don’t know that so you’re just trolling.

Seatbelts = Safety
EVs and their relationship to the Climate = Technology, totally not safety?

Got it. Climate-Denying Anti-Communists, unite!
The free market should have decided if seatbelts were a good choice, right? The general public always makes the right choice!

You get politically-nudged every day about 'which manufacturer is better' and you don't even know it. Glad your cognitive dissonance only makes itself visible when it comes to hot-button EV/climate issues.

In your opinion, what if Wyoming guesses wrong? Do you see it as a major setback for the state?

I love how your side always thinks that you are right, and mocks everyone else. You cancel famous people through doxing, who have the audacity to disagree with you publicly.

A person not wearing a seatbelt launching through a windshield is a fact. Someone not wearing a seatbelt while losing control of their car can move around in the vehicle and lose further control of the car. That’s a fact. Your side worshiping weather is not a fact. It’s a theory. Maybe you aren’t trolling and you’re just not intelligent enough to grasp this?

Scientific theory is fact in the colloquial sense. Uncertain and untested scientific statements are hypotheses.

Keep clearly in mind. The planet doesn’t care one way or the other what we’re doing to the climate or its impacts. It existed before us and will after. The impacts of pollution and the atmospheric changes it is bringing about are making the planet unlivable for us humans… The geriatric generation may already say “not my problem. I have a few years left anyway”, but that’s a terrible way to view the world

But even without that reality. EVs are the future and will be continually bringing features that consumers want to have that aren’t possible on ICE cars. The transition to 48V electrical systems and the “always on” nature of EVs are shifting the way cars are used and will continue to do so in ways we haven’t even experienced yet.

Like two way electrical systems that are being added to EVs now where you a use an EV to power your house in the event of a power outage or work on a job site before power has been run. Where cars can upload their mapping data to the cloud to crowd source map updates at the end of journeys. How Car to X communication can enable cars to communicate both with each other and with infrastructure to improve road safety (such as a car letting cars behind it know it spotted a dear on the side of the road).

Cars have become so complex thanks to the technological demands that every car is quickly becoming an EV and you’re only debating where the power plant is. Modern cars can’t handle the voltage drop older cars could simply because they are too interconnected. Starting your car sends a message on the car’s network and various systems respond… If it it cut off while the engine cranks things would go haywire…

I ain’t reading your cut and paste lecture.
Address what I said and keep your religion to yourself please. Seatbelts and government picking favorites are two completely different things.

Your kids are liars. This is a meme / myth that's been spread for a while now. Furries have existed for like 20+ years btw, they are cosplayers.

You don’t cosplay every day. You might want to stop trusting your sides, Internet sites and start asking some kids. I told you they never said anything about kitty litter boxes, but these kids come dressed as animals every freaking day. Amongst other things. Good grief, the Internet affords some people a lot of courage.

[Equilibrandt]

Don't know what all you old goons are upset about, tbh. Kids are kids. Kids are nonsensical and they always have been. When you boomers were 12, you were main-lining your dad's cigarettes. It's not remotely shocking that they're doing stuff you deem 'weird' nowadays.

What is worrying is that Wyoming has a tiny population with some polarizing industries. It's a big tourist state for many reasons; that's where a ton of their revenue comes from, I'd bet.

What happens if they pass this EV ban? No EV charging infrastructure in the state (or they'd be 10+ years behind other states).

No more Californian's spending their exorbitant money to tour Yellowstone or the Tetons because there's no way for them to drive/charge their Tesla/Polestar/Lightning.

True, but when such headlines appear and due to our current state, it seems possible, some might just be sucked in to believing it. Blame the person, or blame the current state? Seems these days just about anything goes.

And now the kids watch cross dressing drag shows in their local library in the name of inclusion and .... aw dang, where did that unexpected sexualized behavior that come from?

I teach my kids about inclusion and acceptance, and I also teach them boundaries. The boundaries seem to be a bit blurry these days. Perhaps I'm just too damn old, I grew up in the 80's. Yelling at kids to get off my lawn is not far away, but fuck them, it's my lawn.

But I guess the fun is to dehumanize and bully marginalized groups in one way or another. A sad way to live.

It's about finding balance. Your right to swing your fist in public ends where my nose begins. This truism applies to many subjects. Where does group A's rights end, and group B's begin? Absent this certainty, there is a logical frustration being manifest.

That's the thing about education. It shouldn't be about teaching kids how to be worse citizens and people. It should be about giving them skills to be valuable members of our society. That means learning stuff that you didn't learn as a kid as things have improved since then...

Let's take your "kids are learning about drag"... Why is it sexual? Are they watching hardcore gay porn to learn about "drag"? Highly doubt it. Are they learning that some people may like dressing up as women? Sure, why is that inherently a problem? Clothes are asexual as they are simply clothes. Some people like to wear suits and some don't. Who cares? We should treat people respectfully regardless of how they dress as long as it isn't obscene.

You'd be better off teaching your kids that core lesson IMHO. Accept people as they are and weigh negative actions over preconceived biases. You can unpack what biases are inherently packed into things like "skirts" and why they are OK for woman in your view, but you don't get all worried about Scotsman and their skirts (sorry kilts). They'll be richer people for it. They'd be able to humanize their fellow citizens and actually find common ground with them and not continue the death spiral we're in. Which is exactly what the education system is trying to do...

Um, because all too often it is ?

https://nypost.com/2022/10/18/video-...arks-backlash/

The video filmed by BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales shows a drag queen lifting her skirt and gyrating while lip-synching lyrics to the song “P—y” by Lady as a confused kid looks on from one of the nearby tables.

“My p—y good / p—y sweet /p—y good enough to eat,” go the lyrics as the drag queen gyrates.

Be sure your audio is on so you can hear the lyrics.

Is twerking Sexual? That made the rounds of grade schools too. I saw my daughters 11 yo friend twerking in public just a few weeks ago. Perhaps it's just interpretive dance, and how dare anyone interpret it -that- way.


This is why people care, the "line" gets crossed too often as it is. I know my daughters friends dad. He didn't teach his daughter to Twerk, but she obviously learned it from somewhere. I'll never know where, but it's a damn shame we have no boundaries or limits anymore.

Except this wasn’t in a school… Filmed by a conservative TV show host who “attended another all age drag brunch”… Funny this host seems to be drawn to them I guess?

More garbage to feed the hogs at the trough.
