Funny story.

Nancy Reagan was Hollywood bimbo before she snagged married man Ronald Reagan and got him to divorce the mother of his children. She adopted the persona of hard core Christian while engaging in pagan superstitions like astrology. Because the GOP base was strongly 'pro-life' Nancy, who'd never cared one way or the other, painted herself as pro-life and was adamantly anti-abortion. She was against it until she found out that that stem cells might help Ronnie's dementia. Then she was okay with stem cell research.

The one defining trait of every conservative: "I don't care about it until it affects me personally"

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

She wasn't a true conservative either, she saw the grift

[–] potter2010@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that make her more of a conservative? Well, at least a modern one.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Conservation of grift.

Funny story.

That's not funny. Not funny at all.

Life is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

Horace Walpole, which a pretty funny name.

As an adult, but coulda be rough to grow up with that kinda name. School kids can be brutal.

School kids can be brutal.

But 'Whore ace wall pole' has some BDE to it.

Okay what in the Snake Oil salesman's cart is that cookie popup? "We care about your privacy" while the only button available is "Accept all cookies"?

Oh wait, a link with "manage preferences" hidden in the tiny text.

FTS. 🤬

"If you cared about anyone's privacy, you wouldn't tell them to click anything."

get ublock origin on firefox and tick the "annoyances" and "cookie banners" boxes. all gone, feels like premium internet.

Ah, I know that story already from the bible. It wasn't stem cells 2000 years ago, but it's similar significant, because of few test persons and fewer lucky ones.
Anyway I hope they could heal more paraplegic in the future.

For the life of me, I cannot parse this...

I meant the bible story of John 5 and thought about, it could be just coincidence and no wonder because of the small test group. That's all. I'm sorry if it was inappropriate. I didn't have bad intentions.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

No, I meant I literally couldn't understand what your comment was trying to say...
