When you smile, it lifts the muscles around your eyes. I can tell when someone is making an appeasing look like that, so please feel free to continue to do it. It won’t hurt, and might help.

There actually is the start of that, with companies like Zoe (there are tons of others).

“overdose from a single opioid drug is responsible for only a quarter of opioid-related deaths”

So the men who voted to table the bill were:

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I’m a librarian (Librarian?) and find Book People so exhausting and tedious. I love genre fiction, I love non-fiction, I love classics, and I even love literary fiction. Yep, even the navel-gazing mid-list novels that publishers love to hype.

My God! You would think that she wore a tan suit or something. What is the world coming to?

They can allow businesses to target users differently from political entities. It’s really not hard. They just chose not to.

Lol, and you're probably not going to then, either. 

Banning these items may not have stopped the shooting, but may have limited the number of victims. 

I don’t know if it will help, but last night Illinois approved the Reproductive Health Act, which affirms every womans right to an abortion, amongst other things.

A civilian has no need for a silencer.

And has anyone ever actually relaxed when someone told you to?

I’ve been to both. They also have problems, and I'd hate to have Chicago end up where they are. Everyone thinks it's impossible until it happens. Chicago's residents deserve better. If you're not aware, the south side is losing population at staggering rates because of a lack of good jobs and a terrible housing…
