Yeah, it’s pretty standard for movie stars and such (particularly men, I think) to be given extra points based only on their fame, characters portrayed, etc. I’ve always thought many of the men deemed to be insanely handsome wouldn’t be given a second look if they were the water-delivery guy or something and not a…

Some consider it to have racist connotations because its early use referred to the “cheap seats” sections of theatres and music halls - sections that were also often the only ones where Black patrons were allowed to sit.

Well you made a racist categorization.

Since we know all agree what “slept with” means in our culture, it is just faster to say.

Man, some folks seem to have some strong feels about this. Sorry if I caused offence. Also, I didn’t suggest anyone would be confused by it. It just sounds sort of childish to me, particularly when the sex was had in a car rather than a bed. I’m not judging, just commenting.

A woman...slept with a man in his vehicle in late 2017. In early 2021, she found out she had contracted HPV [emphasis mine]

Piss up a rope.

you bargain out paint protection, vehicle theft and the like.

From all the news pieces I’ve read/heard about this, I’m under the impression that the boy fired one shot. I wonder what would have happened were he to have continued shooting.

“Mount Sinai is dismayed by NYSNA’s reckless actions,” they said in a statement on Friday. “The union is jeopardizing patients’ care, and it’s forcing valued Mount Sinai nurses to choose between their dedication to patient care and their own livelihoods.”

What needs to happen is the staff here need to finally do something about the fucking trolls. They don’t drive engagement, they drive it off.

I was just watching that earlier! That was some wild shit when the husky guy starts haranguing Gaetz, then gets pulled back by some other dude by his face. I have never seen anything like it. You people got some weird-ass ways of governing. However, that 14th vote fiasco, followed by the abrupt reversal of the votes…

C’mon, whiskey! When there’s judging to do, who has time to read what the accused actually said?

Thanks to everyone who pointed out that the foreskin itself would be more prone to frostbite than the chunkier bits. So if it’s gone, the overall risk of something getting frostbitten is reduced. Excellent work, everyone; I hadn’t thought about that.

OK, the only aspect I care about at all is this:

Yep. You also can’t get trichinosis from beef. I guess the writer just threw in all the food-borne illnesses they’d ever heard of for dramatic effect.

You might want to gtfo of here with your disingenuous bullshit. I suspect you know that political parties don’t get to punish criminals. You might also be capable of understanding that a commenter saying the Dems have, in fact, gone after Trump as much as possible is not saying it’s OK for rapists to not go to jail. I…

she erroneously quoted Jimmy Buffet beneath her composite photo... the quote should’ve been attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt

“Fired immediately”? I think you’re understating things a bit here. He shot at a cop. Seems to me that “killed immediately” (by other cops) or “sentenced to life immediately” (for attempted murder of a police officer) would be more like it if it were any other profession. You wouldn’t need to bother yourself with…

“It’s a shame. It makes us look foolish. If I didn’t know any better, it’s like the Democrats paid these people off... Let’s make it look like the Republicans can’t govern and don’t deserve any gavels whatsoever. That’s what it makes it look like.”
