If you can get out, do it and don’t feel bad. There are plenty of us who don’t have a way out (washed out of the Canadian immigration process a few years ago) and will stay and fight. If we fail here, it won’t be because of our numbers; don’t waste the opportunity you’ve got.

Depends on the pet. Speaking as a former box turtle parent, they live humanlike lifespans in general, although sometimes illness gets them earlier, hence the former in my case. My boy passed earlier this year after nineteen years of friendship, and he was probably in his early thirties (didn’t have an exact birthdate).

The reverse is also true. Being the only one who likes the work sucks; you have to either fake being a total downer and kill your good mood or risk resentment.

I’m not sure that’s typical. It definitely doesn’t describe my experience.

Defcon 5 is the lowest alert state, dingus.

Actually, PCP could really get you able to move through that arthritis. Doesn’t it make you, among other things, ignore painful stimuli?

Man, these speeches don’t even pass the Turing Test anymore. This is like something a chatbot just spitting out recombined chunks of a corpus would produce about Puerto Rico.

You know, that might be something Kristen could do.

Note the woman’s ethnicity. The NRA doesn’t give a fuck about supporting black gun owners.

Utah’s the really interesting one here. Those Mormons are not down with the Donald. Conservative as they are, I gotta imagine the sectarian hatred he spouts sounds a little too familiar for comfort to them.

Check it. I think she’s put the work in via vocals lessons.

Black’s comeback shit has actually been good. I’m not sure we need to throw her in the same category.

If she had a deal with their resort to talk it up, it may in fact not cost zero dollars to stay silent. This is business.

Even that’s weird; it kind of implies she hasn’t performed before, period. Perhaps “will perform at hurricane relief concert for the first time since giving birth” would be an improvement? Or scrap the whole structure; “Beyonce’s first performance since giving birth will be at hurricane relief concert”.

I recall a lot of video games. The Tenchu ninja games and Bioware stuff, specifically.

If they’re unsafe to release, that’s not a punishment issue, that’s a containment issue. That I can understand; that’s a practical matter. I also leave some room for deterrence arguments, although I think a lot of crime is too animal hindbrain motivated for it to be a primary strategy.

Ultimately I’d like to see a more fundamentally therapeutic, restorative justice style take. Try to mold her into someone who can rejoin society. If that fails to be effective, then containment in the form of incarceration at least has a purpose. But if we’re not at least trying to do that, I mean, then it’s not…

Actually, that adds up. There’s a lot of far right types seriously uncomfortable with their own attraction to black women.
