I think she meant that she spends 90 minutes prepping and then recording the video(s), and during those 90 minutes she’s not on any other social media, or answering calls or texts, or seeing people. Not MIA from Snapchat.

Based on this excellent analysis, I could also be okay with him punching a corpse were he able to do so without grave robbing.

I’d be okay if Canada’s Prime Minister didn’t punch a corpse, but maybe that’s just me?

It actually doesn’t say you’d think they’d want to, it says they would want to; as in you stated it as a fact and not as an opinion or an “if it were me, I would”. But sure you didn’t use the word obligated. I still don’t see what being a minority religion, or even a minority sect or minority religion, has to do with

I’m not disputing that the content was offensive, or saying that you shouldn’t be put off by it. Or questioning your reasons for your original comment on this post.

It is fine to object to the show content that you saw, that’s not really what I was addressing - I’m pushing back on the idea that because Jews are a minority in the US this Orthodox Jewish channel is obligated to be a positive public relations program for Judaism or to moderate its content to be palatable to others.

Sure, but I was calling out the suggestion that, “only 2% of Americans are Jewish so an entire channel would want to put out a positive or at least neutral message about this religion.” I was pushing back on the idea that the channel is obligated to make itself a public relations effort because a minority of Americans

Try 32% of the planet for Christians.

I think Republican conference rules say committee chairs are determined by secret vote of committee members, but otherwise yes.

The halt of the Yucca Mountain repository project isn’t stopping nuclear power in the United States; plants are doing dry cask storage on-site. 20% of US electricity generation is nuclear. And a Democratically controlled Illinois legislature just passed an energy bill with what basically amounts to a bailout for

Are you referring to the pre-existing project (c. 2009) underway by the Standing Rock Sioux to build a new water treatment plant in Mobridge, South Dakota (~70 miles downstream from the proposed Lake Oahe crossing, and about ~50 miles from the current intake at Ft. Yates)? Because that intake has had some valves come

As far as sources of oil it was correct anyway. The Canadian bank funding is a good clarification!

My point was more that reservation lands and tribal lands are not the same, that the legal extent of tribal lands is often in dispute, and that whether a project is physically sited on a reservation or not isn’t the relevant inquiry under federal or state law for whether interested Indian Nations get a say.

Fact check: The currently proposed Dakota Access pipeline path crosses disputed Sioux treaty land (the validity of the 1868 Ft. Laramie treaty is questionable, as is whether it really did rescind the boundaries of the 1851 Ft. Laramie treaty). It does not cross Standing Rock Reservation. The crossing at Lake Oahe goes

It wouldn’t - they are confusing DAPL with Keystone.

New York is very very slowly modernizing its approach to trusts and estates, but as far as I know the acceptance of testamentary intent as a general concept hasn’t, and shows little sign, of leaching into validating an improperly executed will.

Freshman year roommate invited a guy from another school to a party and told him he could spend the night at ours. But she didn’t want to spend the night with him, so she was going to let him stay on her side of our room but she would be downstairs staying in a friend’s room. Apparently I was supposed to be okay with

Not quite - Clinton went straight to the US Senate, she never served in the New York legislature or the New York executive branch.

Steven Aiello was charged, as was Joseph Gerardi. They are accused of paying bribes to Percoco in exchange for favorable outcomes for COR and for a raise for Aiello’s son (who worked in the administration); not sure what the specific charges against them are off the top of my head.
