It would be really cool if it could cast one of the Chinese minority groups Mulan is sometimes identified with (the area she’s written as coming from is fairly far west and wasn’t Han dominated).

There’s a rising Mongolian actress who can look like being around that age named Chuluuny Khulan, and Mulan was sometimes liked to Mongolic minorities within China.

Jews are Asian enough, right?

Depends on your allergies and sensitivities. Dove makes a good unscented bar for those who can't tolerate perfumes.

How many soaps are actually soaps? I was under the impression that detergent had completely eclipsed it.

They actually breed like rabbits, to the point that men have quotas on how often men must satisfy their wives (at least six times a week for those not in travel-oriented professions), and the rule is against touching any non-immediate family member of the other gender, meaning women follow the same rule.

There’s actually a specific ban on that in Judaism because the Babylonians were fond of it.

But is that due to reality or coverage?

Alsom it’s very interesting that the Christians get to define the “21st century norms” when the Heredi are clearly becoming more common in the 21st century.

The rapist can apply/sue for custody, which as far as I’ve seen has never been successful for a convicted rapist. Meanwhile, most of these suits attempt a basis in the fact that the rapists are paying child support, which the Massachusetts bill, at least, would likely also prohibit.

So how would this law handle children conceived by the rape of a guy, out of curiosity?

Not quite so ahead, as this is in practice more of a ban on rape victims getting child support than rapists getting custody (at least on the bills I’ve seen, which break all legal responsibilities between the two parties).

Would she still have a right to child support? The Massachusetts bill would have eliminated that.

Of course, one big reason they take this to court is that they’re paying child support, which at least some of the proposed bills would also disallow. This tactic has never worked, making this in effect a stealth effort to deny rape victims child support for no reason.

Well, they can ask the judges, which hasn’t worked yet. Meanwhile, those judges are also more than happy to demand child support.

Whoops, double replied.

In this case, it’s about child support and judicial judgement. Basically, the current laws (at least in Mass) allow rape-victim parents to extract child support from their rapists, and every rapist who has tried to use this to get custody has been laughed out of court. The new law would wipe away any ability for those…

As I've yo-yo'd in weight, I've also found that losing belly fat aids sleep, although that's probably only true for those that sleep on their stomach.

Oh like you understand any of this.

Why “state of the art?” All you need is a standard box design, but with one-way glass, or really a room with a widow and a place to plug in a big screen.
