Well, hello govna! Looks like Brits are as good at idiocy as 'mercans.

and more here.

NY's standards seem different.

I've never and will never enter one of these. You can always decline. When the herders indicate that I should enter that beast, I give them a "fuck no" look. Half the time, they give me a "I fucking hear you" look and point me to the regular metal detector. The other half they opt for the supposedly required…

Lady Mary, FTW.

To read this judgment as a strict interpretation of the law is very...strange. I agree she could have also sued for sexual harassment, but she was also wrongfully terminated. Her termination was unrelated to her performance (hence justified), but sexual and therefore discriminatory.

I'm responding only to the application of libertarianism in this case. To interpret a situation that is inherently social, economic, and political through a myopic lens of a "narrow reading of government powers" necessarily leads to an affirmation of two existing power imbalances (male/female, employer/employee). So…

Your ambiguity captures perfectly the problem with libertarianism, which purports to respect, "individual responsibility" but winds up employing such arguments to excuse irresponsibility exercised by those who wield power imbalances.

But if everyone has that tip (as they do in NYC), it becomes a less viable option.

You might be right, and perhaps she did receive some Novocaine. I'm quite sure that it was severe enough surgery that they wanted to put her under and couldn't, and that she definitely couldn't take pain medication after, only antibiotics.

Wow. This just happened to my friend.

Lol, totally not dumb. And I would say "potentially" yes. But what you gain in cold-resistance, you lose in dexterity and cognition, so I think the net might be zero and maybe even a net loss.

Without knowing your situation beyond this post, it does seem that your anxieties regarding children are heavily tied up in financial insecurity (even the "I feel too immature" sentiment would be cured by finding a job which would cause you to feel mature.). Perhaps part of your anxiety might also be tied to the fact…

yawn.

Fucking awesome.

Italy's problem is unfortunately bigger than harassment. The culture is fiercely misogynistic and violent towards women (rape and murder within relationships were only relatively recently criminalized), and women on the big/small screen are highly sexualized and rarely even speak. The UN has recommended creating a…

This.

Alcohol simultaneously thins the blood, allowing it to flow more easily into tiny capillaries, while also lowering its freezing point, thereby making frost bite require longer exposure and lower temperatures.

Those kids are just straight fucked.
