I'm pretty sure no one wants Sean Hannity's meat.
- Not even Sean Hannity
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
- Stand still laddy!!
  
  You! Yes you! Behind the bike stands!
- He was cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
Fox is hysterical, so they project hysteria on to others.
- Manufactured outrage is the calling card of the GOP and their supporters
- I always have to talk my folks down from shit they heard on Fox and Newsmax. They have called me frantically panicking that:
  
  -There is a new gender neutral bathroom in addition to the M and F rooms at their gym!
  
  "So you haven't been inconvenienced in any way?"
  
  " They are going to take the women's room away! I don't want to change next to a MAN!"
  
  "... Are they taking the women's room away and forcing you into the gender neutral one?"
  
  " well no..."
  
  "So you haven't been inconvenienced in any way. This sounds fine. Why are you calling me again?"
  
  -The government is going to force them to switch to electric cars and they don't have a convenient outdoor outlet to charge a car!
  
  "Did you get a letter that they are going to seize your car?"
  
  "No not yet but they are going to do it soon!"
  
  "Okay, well that sounds like it probably isn't imminent, why dont we wait to see of you get a letter and then we can react then; worst case we take it to court. Also, someday you will have to replace your old car and an electric one might be a good option for you guys. Dad is getting too old to get under the car to change oil and you know he's too stubborn to take it to a shop. You don't need a lot of range, you only go to church, the grocery store, and your craft club. There are incentives to put in a charger anyway."
  
  My dad has a heart condition and these fuckers are driving both of them to an early grave for cheap political points. Fuck these fear profiteers.
- If they told the truth, nobody would vote for republicans.
I would support taking away gas stoves and replacing them with modern induction stoves, because it would reduce childhood asthma 12% and probably help a lot of people improve their air quality inside their house, reduce the incidence of gas leaks, etc.

But Biden factually does not want to do that.

I do. But Biden doesn't.
- I’d settle for no new gas hookups. Why are we allowing people to waste money on new infrastructure for something we just need to get rid of? You know they’ll just come whining for handouts in ten years when they realize they ve wasted their money. Why allow people to shortsightedly think they’re saving a little up front at the expense of more breathing issues later?
  
  A lot of people getting these installed don't have the choice. My new build home (2023) has gas and I was very frustrated by this, basically every home in my area uses gas and it's not something I could opt out of since I didn't control the home as it was being built. I do plan on replacing my gas appliances basically as soon as I can reasonably afford it, but there are other amenities new homes also don't come with that I need to deal with first.
- I lost electricity for almost a week last winter when it was 0F, the only way I got my house warm was boiling big pots of water, I will never get a electric stove, I simply don’t trust the grid.
  
  Interesting that you apparently don't have a gas furnace, the much more obvious solution. Boiling water for heat is not like a cool and easy solution with no risks or downsides. Get a generator if you're worried about electric outages that bad.
10,000 transfem people: "works for me"
- Was waiting for someone to make this joke for 11 hours lol
  
  Out of the loop. What did I miss?
And their stupid audience will swallow it whole.
- Swallow Hannity's meat, or?
  
  Yes
we have to push through oil billionare led faux culture wars. fuck gas appliances and fuck the animal ag industry
Desperate strawman arguments is all they have.
Yeah well the other side also wants to take away our household appliances and our meat, and also everything else by enabling corporations to squeeze everyone dry even more than they already are.
Everyone should look at the greenhouse emissions from oil refineries and power plants before they really start taking things away from individuals. We all play a part in reducing global warming. Eating less meat and using less energy and natural resources can help, of course, but let’s address the big polluters of carbon dioxide and methane. The two biggest greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. California’s biggest polluter is some refinery in Los Angeles. Is eating less meat going to put an end to that? I would hope that Biden would have a more reasonable solution than what this guy is suggesting.
- I mean, yeah, eating less meat is the biggest thing an individual can do. It’s something like skipping a shower every day for a week is the same as eating a quarter pounder. And that’s just water, doesn’t even get into GHGs
  
  No one should ever be forced to skip a shower, especially not for a week. That’s so unsanitary.
- It's possible to believe that both individuals and corporations have wrongdoings they are responsible for fixing. If corporations disappeared and your preferred magically ideal socioeconomic system prevailed, it would still be unsustainable if everyone were still omnivores.
Joe Biden trying to take my dingaling 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
- Where should I send it?
NooOOOooooo! My meat!!
"Joe Biden wants to take your meat so you better find a hiding spot that he can't reach" https://youtu.be/eA-l6R4bKO4?si=Cq_6uzV9QIgDb3-i
- Nick is a goddamn treasure and I will fight anyone who thinks different.
Whoaa hey wait, Joe, buddy, could you take away the appliances in places I'm looking at to rent? Maaaybe lower that rent comparably? I'd unga bunga my way right into some pre-2012s cost of living happily.
I'm not doing anything with it anyways, so he can have it.
Sean Hannity is a meat
- Yeah, like a meat-head. Haha, gotem! BOOOSH !
Sean is just upset that no one wants to take his meat.
Dead animal flesh, and animal exploitation is central to fascist identity, dunno why anyone halfway sane would want to be associated with that.
- Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Biden is coming for your right to strike against rail corporations.

AOC as well
Like, fuck Sean Hannity and all that, but I'm pretty sure if half the Lemmy users were in control, I'd be allowed to eat nothing but leaves and have to cut my gas stove into pieces so I could bike it to the recycle depot.

Edit: QED
- Oh nooo eating plants and riding bikes and recycling and not using stoves that give you memory loss! What a terrible world that would be.
  
  The stove thing is soo stupid. It's not even a ban on gas stoves, it's just requiring you to properly ventilate areas when they are installed.
  
  if you look at the more thought out visions we can make things fucking better.
- Imagine being healthy and not torturing animals. Disgusting.
  
  Them: All our ancestors ate meat at every meal for all of history!
  
  Me: actually,
  
  Them: ALL OF HISTORY
- you don't have to cut it into peaces you can use a cargo bike /s
- You sound like you really love Hannity.
