Just the token light colored jacket guy every friend group needs

He's also the 1 dark skinned person in the group, so they're obviously not racist. They even have 2 women, so they're not sexist!

Well diversity in the gene pool certainly matters but clearly this is a lesson that was lost on your family generations ago.

He was civil. He didn't try to overthrow the government and kill someone. He also wasn't on Epstein's plane. Does that count?

Unlike the non-English-speaking world, where fascists are never voted into office?

Because Black lives matter, because Asian lives matter, because Hispanic lives matter. This country is a melting pot of cultures and ideas and if you don’t have someone that represents you, then you're not likely to be represented.

If FDR would have listened to the people, the US would have never joined WW2. If Johnson had listed to the people, we would have not passed the Civil Rights Act.

We call on a leader to lead, not follow.

i don't make the rules

My colleagues did by sneaking it into an unrelated piece of legislation, but I'm no snitch.

He said he was checking out his future plane. Probably seeing if the furniture is his type.

There's gotta be a term for this kind of group... Like murder of ravens, or flock of seagulls. A chud of fascist pricks here to assert control over women for psychotic reasons.

I have an Ashley reclining couch that I love. It's super comfy and is perfectly molded to cradle my ass.

But it's brown, so Vance might deport it instead? Or maybe because it's so suave and sensual, it's "one of the good ones?"

That works for me! Could be worse. They could be after our baseball bats or something.

Speaking of weird, what's with that outfit from the dude in the orange tie?

He's the token dark skinned friend. Gotta make sure his outfit is unique so people notice him and don't think you're racist.

Forgive the ignorance, but are regular OBGYN appointments a thing in the US? From the media I’ve consumed it appears so. I know people with actual gynaecological issues like endometriosis, and even they find the idea of regular checkups without a cause weird.

Generally starting around 25 you're encouraged to get annual checkups. They check for cervical cancer and do a quick breast exam and then send you on your way. It's also a time to go over any irregularities of the past year and to discuss birth control and the like.

Some people also see gynecologists as their regular doctor, going to them for general health checkups.

The US used to have such prevalent hpv rates that annual Pap smears for everyone with a cervix was a better call than testing for hpv. Even today you have to specifically request an hpv test when getting an sti test. The hpv vaccine seems to be changing that, but speaking as someone who had a breakthrough case (fortunately it was a strain known to be low risk for cancer) I still encourage people to not rely solely on it, but also to definitely get the vaccine.

The other reason is that for a long time the gyno was a lot of women’s only regular healthcare visit and it’s still not rare for them to be the most trusted physician in a woman’s life.

My health insurance gives me a discount if I perform a set of preventative-maintenance tasks. They want me to get a pap smear every 3 years, so I guess that's the standard "how often to see a gyno if you have no health concerns regarding gyno issues" schedule.

Edit: I also have a regular doctor I'm meant to see every year.
