The government already has a good system for this in place. Bids are weighted slightly in favor of small businesses over large and for women owned and minority owned businesses. All bids have to meet the minimum quality and technical standards first in a blind review. Then the prices are unsealed, reviewed and from…

Dad, but Mom has a lot to do with it.

It’s not that hard. Wait for them to ask a question. Answer that question honestly. But only that question. Don’t take it as an opening to discuss everything. Let them absorb it at their own pace.

Bored?

As a kid, I was always aware that money was tight. The only time I really asked my parents for anything was Christmas, because it came out of Santa’s budget. When I got old enough to know the truth, I would still ask for only one big item.

I have no issue with women being in the military or serving in combat roles. Including regular infantry. Fighter pilot, tank gunner, artillery, helicopter door gunner.... Go for it.

The standards were out in place because those are the requirements to successfully do the job and complete the missions. Lowering the standard lowers the effectiveness of these special forces teams.

There are many roles in the military. And women can be the equal of a man in a majority of them, like military police, motor pool mechanic, and even basic infantry.

As long as they don’t lower the standards to make sure they get some successful candidates. Like the way fire departments changed the physical exam from carrying a 200lb person down a staircase to dragging them down. Or worse, setting up a tiered system where women have to reach a lower bar than the men.

You have to ask yourself, how would a vegetarian know what Turkey tastes like in order to quality check their tofurky. Answer: they can’t, therefore tofurkey sucks.

Even Sesame Place in Pennsylvania rethemes most of their rides to include Elmo.

Others have nailed it. It’s a post-scarcity society. Post-scarcity terms like capitalism and socialism no longer apply.

I thought it was sad that the reason she writes is that she loses long term memory taking shock therapy for her bipolar disorder. But then, maybe it’s also why she’s happy?

There’s a fetish for women pretending to be life sized dolls in fetish clothing. It’s the theme of this photo series.

The Pro-Choice protesters believe that all abortion is murder, the ending of a life. The fact that most of them are non-violent protesters is a great show of Christian beliefs and abiding by the law. At a basic level, they should logically feel like the use of force would be justified to save a life.

I don’t know about likeable, but Phoebe was a freak in bed and I’d jumped at that like a puppy jumping for a treat.

They came to an understanding as parents of the kid they made together, but I didn’t really see it as anything more than that. (I.e. they weren’t sleeping together.)

Yes, and Ross and Rachel was the worst couple in the history of television. They literally ruined each other’s lives over and over again. The only thing good about that entire storyline was the writers didn’t have them together in the finale.
