I dislike that we reduce them both at the lowest denominator. To mutual abusers. I think it’s much more adequate to describe them as mutual victims. Victims as both suffered abuse from each other, but also victims in the sense that abusers are, most of the time, people who are very unhappy and operate under emotional…

How about Don Quaxote?

Also, Fuecoco seems to come from “fuego” (fire) and “cocodrilo” (crocodile).

Sorry, but a country with enough ICBMs to wipe out the rest of the world has no “legitimate safety concerns”. If you have nukes, period, your safety against your neighbors is assured.

ESL here: I have no issue with the use of singular they, but why not conjugate it as “they is” rather than “they are”? Incidentally, many syntopic variants of English already conjugate “they is” rather than “they are”, even in plural, so this is what should be correct.

How do you expect a majority to push for or support a change that will make them worse off? Specially in a country like the US, where 40% of the families would be bankrupted by a $400 emergency.

Apparently, she was based on a real life IGN reporter, Jessica Chobot.

Just because you sign a contract doesn’t mean that the contract is or should be legally binding.
I can sign a contract giving away my individual freedom to somebody else, and good luck finding a court upholding that contract.

I understand that Brazil is a civil law jurisdiction. That commonly means that laws can be unconstitutional and repealed before they are applied, that local laws have to be in full compliance with general laws before they are enacted, and that new laws erase older laws that contradict them. None of that is true in the…

Blue Mage: the game

The real NFTs are the friends we made along the way.

Incest also includes consenting adults who are siblings or first cousins. Their close consanguinity would make their children have potentially dangerous conditions, so that's why they have an exception even in countries where abortion is otherwise banned.

Just because something goes technically against the EULA does not mean that it is technically illegal. In fact some clauses in many EULAs in the videogame industry are legally in murky waters, treading on being illegal themselves. They only manage to get by unchallenged because a legal battle with one of these…

The human condition is inherently toxic, that is the real problem.

So, if we don’t build identities around the things we like, what do we build our identities around? The things we hate? The way we contribute to the capitalist economy? Our physical/emotional traits?

Talking as a foreigner, using the word excitement when the USA wins at basketball sounds like a mistake. An American victory is the expected result. A defeat is usually a freak accident.

Counterpoint: Q-Anon.

I would dispute that he’s not voting 100% with Biden. Given that Biden simply throws his hands up in the air and says “I guess that won’t happen, not my fault, I really wanted it to happen”, rather than attempting to put any kind of pressure on Manchin... maybe he is indeed voting what Biden wants.

And just to be clear, I’m an immigrant myself, I would hate to see someone like that in the Senate. I would just hate it less than seeing Manchin.

WV is trending red, but by issues, they are socially conservative, anti-immigration and economically liberal. If it’s acceptable for the democrats to offer someone who is socially conservative and economically conservative, wouldn’t it be better to offer an anti-immigration brocialist? At least such a person would…
