Well, I guess we’ll just have to keep up the status quo of throwing up our hands and saying it’s too dangerous to do anything about it then!

Oh riiiight. Like abortion “regulations” that essentially keep women from accessing procedures even when their lives are in danger. Fair enough...that’s why you build access into the laws.

Right? I once suggested that maybe to fulfill the “well regulated militia” part of the 2nd Amendment, it might be a good idea if all gun owners should have to complete a training course that includes proper use, safety procedures, anger management/deescalation and first aid, with short refresher courses every few

There are plenty of royalty-free stock photos of tacky and shoddily ostentatious McMansions to be had for a reasonable fee. Then you don’t have to worry about copyright concerns.

I’ve been scrolling and scrolling and haven’t seen this one yet:

Thrift shops! Since the fashion has shifted, there are many available at the moment.

Amen! I am short waisted and big boobed...high-waisted pants make it look like I don’t have a waist at all, just boobs right to hips. A waistline just below the hips is the only flattering cut for me, I’m stocking up because that style has been hitting the thrift shops lately.

This dilemma is why I think the future of fashion will be going back to a semi-custom market. Any time before about 100-150 years ago, you either made clothes yourself or went to a dressmaker. Then until the ‘60s or ‘70s it was still fairly common to have your off-the-rack clothes tailored at the store or and

So am I, and I’m straight and female.

Back when I was that age, if there were boobs, butts or even an entirely nekkid person on the screen, we went “Hehe! Butts!” and that was about it. I can guarantee that a little moderate nudity and even some sexual innuendo isn’t going to turn your kids into sex fiends....that’s what puberty is for...

I’ve said it elsewhere, I’ll say it here. Even beyond the complete lack of a coherent motivation for the cylons, the biggest problem with the show is they went too Soap Opera when they should have been aiming for Space Opera. You can have interpersonal dramas and boning in space, but if you don’t have an engaging a

Also good writing with storylines that moved at a good clip...I especially liked the mini-arc structure. It helped prevent the slog of filler episodes or drawing-out-plot-to-fill-the-season you get in a lot of shows.

Donald’s original voice, Clarence Nash, passed away in 1985 and the show came out in 1987...maybe Donald was in semi-retirement for a bit while they transitioned fully to the new voice actor?

Sexual tension between Ahmanet and achaeologist lady? *waggles eyebrows*

In other news, 10 waitlisted teens suddenly have their prayers answered.

It’s a shame that Kickstarter wasn’t a thing back when she first tried to get the project off the ground. I just ponied up $10 for a museum in NYC to finish up their Muppet exhibition. I’d have been good for $10-20 for her museum.

A lot of the old malls could be converted to a mixed-use model: have moderate-priced housing (seriously, how many apartments could you put in place of a Sears?), entertainment venues, schools and all sorts of personal-service based businesses.

There’s an open air mall near my workplace that is still expanding. It

Well, fortunately we have internet experts to set us all straight!

Employers are people with whom you exchange work for compensation. It is not their place to make healthcare decisions for you.

This is all about people with more power in a relationship (in this case employer/employee) forcing other people to adhere to their beliefs.

Some religions don’t allow their faithful to

An employer shouldn’t be allowed to tell an employee what they do with the money they are paid. Imagine if your boss could legally say, “Hey, you’re not allowed to buy anything with the money you earn from this job that is yellow. I think yellow is evil and don’t want “my” money paying for anything yellow.”
