Honestly, I think this cop was excited to have an excuse to use this maneuver. It’s pretty clear that many people become cops for the precise purpose of getting to play action star in a way that is state sanctioned.  

I’m really curious what she means by “non-hormonal”. My guess is she means barrier methods because she states in her reasoning that hormonal birth control can “cause abortion” (yup, she’s still pushing that BS) when in reality a non-hormonal IUD is the only kind of birth control in which ovulation occurs.

From everything I’ve read on this the KKK connection is nonexistent - its a conclusion jumped to by someone who saw a photo of costume from the 19th century that predates the KKK’s use of hoods - and that the organization is more akin the many many many country clubs across the country that have historically and…

The sovereign has custody of the heirs to the thrown automatically, she doesn’t need to do anything to get it. So after Diana and Charles’ divorce, both Charles and Diana had to follow whatever custody agreement the Queen dictated. Today she only has custody of her great-grandchildren through William, not Harry,…

Conditions in Israel and Palestine and the arguments for and against war there are so fundamentally different from those in the US.

There is an argument to be made that an active draft would discourage imperialist actions by the Executive Branch.

How is this BS? This is the last standing argument against the ERA.

The one child policy has never been universal - couples in different regions are allowed different numbers of children. The change here is just that in the most populous urban regions, where the limit was 1 and then 2, its now being raised to 3. 

Given then gender disparity (there being several millions more men than women) wouldn’t their birth rate need to be over 2 children per couple to be at replacement level?

They also probably wouldn’t oppose access to puberty blockers which, as the name implies, delay puberty allowing for thought through decisions and eliminating need of many procedures trans people might otherwise have (ie facial surgeries, electrolysis etc.)

The only explanation I can think of, if true, is unscrupulous plastic surgeons, of which there are plenty. It’s really telling that we only have a moral panic about surgeons altering young people’s bodies when it involves trans people as opposed to breast implants or nose jobs given as graduation gifts to cis…

That’s already how I do it and there usually is still a bit of albumin after its cooked. I don’t think marinading in soy sauce works like a dry brine because the sauce is absorbed whereas the salt is meant to be rinsed off.

I often top salmon with soy sauce - to brine with it what ratio of soy sauce to water would you use in place of salt?

Buying a $100k car and then destroying it through reckless negligence will also put you in debt for while. 

Yeah, I came to point out the same thing. Also Al-Anon is pretty closely associated with the Catholic Church, a lot of meetings are run at Catholic churches. 

Catholicism has been a major part of his stand up. He pretty famously had a joke about asking his wife to convert when they got married. “Raised Catholic” and “Lapsed Catholic” are two different things, my impression was he was later.

Child characters are almost always voiced by women because (most) adult men cannot produce the correct pitch to sound like a child.

I haven’t taken any science courses since the 11th grade. There should be no expectation that anyone not in the field “understand” the science of cutting edge vaccine science, only that they have the critical thinking skills to discern trustworthy sources and untrustworthy ones. I don’t know anything about how vaccines…

Yeah, the short characters have inherited wealth and positions, the taller ones are competing for theirs. 

I don’t know why I’m taking interest in this, but all the stills from The Darjeeling Limited and photos from red carpets around its release, show Brody is slightly taller than Owen Wilson (5'10") and significantly taller than Jason Schwartzman (5'6"). Even if they’re all inflating their height by 2-3" that would still…
