I’m so sick of left leaning people not believing that the right wing is an existential threat. Maybe the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade will be enough for people to get that. One can only hope.

If you can find a big, extremely gentle, and tough cat, now would be fine. I’d wait a couple years otherwise. Toddlers just don’t have the muscle coordinator to actually touch a cat in a way that won’t upset the cat unless they’re very chill. Just keep in mind that if the kid gets scratched by the cat, it’s probably…

That’s actually not true, unless you are also only eating in-season vegetables. The ecological footprint of a tomato grown locally in a hothouse in the winter is significantly greater than of one grown in season 2,000 miles away and shipped to you.

Of course we knew what we were voting for. I was a little on the fence about the criminal penalties if your gun isn’t secured and is used in a crime, because that sound like felony murder and felony murder is bullshit.

Only if they do it in that order.

If I’m reading this correctly, she also didn’t actually try to get an abortion because she didn’t know she was pregnant. All that happened was she was raped, and birthed a child (sounds like with medical complications.) So now they’re charging her with attempted abortion for... reasons.

I’m actually surprised they cancelled this. Synagogues are defaced with anti Semitic graffiti all the time. We normally just cover it up until it can be removed and keep on with what we were doing.

My secret dream is for the house to flip and Pelosi to become speaker, and then for Trump and Pence to be simulaneously impeached. This is purely because of how much republican heads would explode that we then would have President Pelosi.

“Free markets” require an even distribution of power to work properly and deliver any of their much lauded benefits. Without significant regulation to keep that power distribution equal, free markets destroy themselves via concentrations of power that are sought by every player in the market (this can occur via…

I get the impression that people around here don’t understand the difference between migratory beekeeping and regular pollination. Migratory beekeeping is, frankly, incredibly cruel to the bees. Have you heard about those crashed semis full of bees on I-5? Those are the migratory bees. They spend their year…

Gotta love those 18th century stays and the boobshelf that goes along with them..

At least it’s one that’s already an offensive gesture in some countries, so it could be worse.

She seems to forget that in the 50’s, Jews weren’t ‘white’. This isn’t a show about a white woman, even if the actors are.

It does, and it’s soooo easy to manipulate via refining magic from items. I remember the game being hard-ish as a kid. As a adult? Not so much.

I replayed this game recently. I was mostly struck by what portion of your ‘conversations’ are Squall thinking things while refusing to answer something someone else said. They even lampshaded it once with Quistis (I think) waving her hand and saying ‘helloooo?’

Psychologically speaking, there is a world of difference between “here’s a one time pile of more money than you’ve ever seen in your entire life” and “here’s a small income supplement that will always be there every month.” It’s a very well known economic phenomena.

One thing- ask for a dietitian, not a nutritionist. Dietitians have certifications and requirements; anyone can call themselves a nutritionist.

In Kent, minimum wage is $11.50. Making $15 including stock and bonuses means you’re making only slightly more than minimum wage, “Carol”.

Anyone that Trump pardons can be forced the testify against him. Being pardoned takes away your fifth amendment rights, as there is no longer any risk of self-incrimination.

I suppose it’s probably too much to hope that people would hear this and say, “wow, I guess there really is important research that has come from allowing aborted fetuses to be donated to science!”
