It takes a lot of self reflection and positive mental, emotional and moral development to make that sort of transition and own it, not to mention the fortitude to withstand something that genuinely challenges your worldview and come out better from it. I may just be an internet stranger but I'm proud of you.
Thank you. The amount of people frothing at the mouth as though progressives wanted to "concede" land to Russia while calling for war with no plans to end it is baffling and shameful. War either ends with the total annhilation or diplomacy. All this advocates for is continued threat to Russia via aid to Ukraine, with an offer for peace providing an out to the cornered bear so long as it concedes. It probably won't work on Putin and supporters of his regime, but it'll certainly signal to any dissidents, whether the few citizens or soldiers that can get info outside Russia's propaganda or Anti-Putin factions among the Oligarchy, that there is a way to end this travesty.
Human popsicle wakes up to find the world is fucked with fantasy shit. Said popsicle tries to figure out why. Popsicle gets into a rap battle with the devil and becomes god instead.
Setting an age after which a person is no longer allowed to run for, or hold, public office is the very definition of arbitrary. Just because you think it's a good idea doesn't make it less arbitrary.
Arbitrary would mean that it is random with no reasonable ground for existence. The arguments for age cap have existed for decades, some poor some sound. (an example of the former being that elders are inherently out of touch, which is blatantly false, an example of the latter being that many older politicians will be long dead before their policy decisions effect their communities and thus they may not fully weigh the consequences of their decisions, which is a perfectly reasonable, genuine concern) There are explicit reasons some people have started to favor age caps, whereas something arbitrary is done on a whim, and thus it is by definition not arbitrary.
35 vs 34 is an arbitrary distinction. One person is allowed to be president and the other is not. There's really no reasonable difference between the two. That arbitrary line exists because you can't legislate that "only people with significant life experience may serve as president." A 34 year old may have traveled the world, started several businesses, and raised a family while a 35 year old may still live at home and been unemployed for years. The fact that the 35 year old can be president is completely arbitrary.
A fair point, but that's less an argument against an age cap and more an argument for changing the age floor. Personally, I would agree to that, preferring something around 25 (when the brain has finished most of its development save minor changes)
I mean if it’s a church that’s down to host a drag brunch, they’re probably one of the more alright churches. churches that don’t focus on indoctrination/angelicism/racism/homophobia are just another way to gather as a community after all.
Thank you for saying this. I've become increasingly worried about the trend of bashing anyone christian and lumping them all in with these christofascist scum. There are christians across the political spectrum, and constantly berating people and treating them as though they're fully complicit in something they don't agree with nor consented to only alienates wouldbe allies.
For them to punish you in any meaningful way, they need to go through a process that involves union people. The reason they rely on threats so much is because that process is nearly impossible for them to navigate once you’re past 90 days. In fact, they’re more likely to get you for insubordination when you argue with their empty threats than whatever they were originally threatening you over. So as long as you make them work for it, they won’t do shit to you as long as you don’t threaten violence, steal mail, or lose an arrow key.
Technically, they’re not allowed to abuse you in any way they’re not allowed to abuse a veteran RCA. But they have a trump card: being able to fire you without reason; this nullifying any “rights” that you’re technically entitled to. But when the issue is attendance, it’s pretty obvious that they need you so badly that they’d have to cut off their nose to spite their face if they wanted to punish you.
I see, thank you for the input! My office only has three RCAs and 12 routes (10 rural, 2 city) and regulars that really like to take time off, so the three of us are overworked to hell.
It's mostly biological release for me, but one way I typically get really into it is by fantasizing about the type of relationship I have with the person. Maybe they're my spouse or long-term SO, a really close friend of several years, etc.
Honestly, any sort of beastman is typically underrepresented in literature. This is natural, given that their so many potential human-animal hybrids, but even commonly featured races typically tend to adhere to certain tropes and don't develop much beyond them. Minotaurs may exist as mindless beasts, beserker-like warriors, and/or classical-style craftsmen. Centaurs are often depicted as slightly tribalistic, playing off the herds equines form, and nearly everything about their characterization tends to revolve around the fact that they're half horse (i.e. they're incredibly fast, live a nomadic lifestyle, use bows like horseback archers, etc.).
I've always rationalized it as a setup that lets the ponies cycle through a cylinder or some similar typing element with one or two of the keys, and then press another key to set that key through the platen and into the paper. The "spacebar" can either be just that, a spacebar, or, if both of the large keys are used to cycle through the typing element, used to set the metal key to paper.
I've seen a lot of people refer to the stallion as Brad. Naturally, his name isn't that, but I look forward to the jokes revolving around such a basic, boring name.
With this taking place in the same universe as FiM, I'm really curious how the world that had a princess of friendship could devolve into a segregated dystopia. Depending on the execution, it could be pretty legit, paying homage to its predecessor and developing the world further, or it could just be a blatant attempt to reset the world and redo all the old lessons. I'm hoping for the former, but this show is still owned by a toy company, so...

Though I haven't made them in a while, I use to make something similar to this pretty regularly as my go-to breakfast. The marinade was rather a mixture of soy sauce, salt, sugar, diced serranos, sliced scallion, diced onion, and some crushed garlic. Absolutely delicious with some rice and sesame oil. I'm thinking about making it again, but adding the sesame oil directly to the marinade, mostly to stop myself from drenching my rice in the tasty stuff.
Wait, is this seriously implying that Biden isn't going to give us anything to make fun of? The "listen here, fat" guy? The "kids used to come up to me at the pool, and they'd push my leg hair down so it was straight, and watch it come back up. I learned about roaches. I learned about kids jumping on my lap" guy? Really? Fucking Corn Pop?
You would be right. When I said third, I was referring to the order in which I mentioned the arrows, not the association of the arrows themselves. That's my bad, lol.
That's fair. My point is that most monarchies essentially just boil down to another facet of fascism in the modern world (i.e. The House of Saud relies on ethnoreligious nationalism, militarism, sexism and racism, and typical fascist economics: protectionism, interventionism, statism etc.)
It's akin to saying that the DPRK is a good representation of a Democratic Republic, when it is clearly neither a democracy or a republic. Only incredibly stupid people or people acting in bad faith use the "Nazis were socialists" argument.
In my experience they’re always dating a chubby “lumberjack hippie” type guy with thick brimmed glasses.
Don't do that. Don't give me hope.
The second poster is right on the money.

Yup, it's true. And all of our file folders and drawers are built to accommodate 8.5 x 11 as well.
8.5 x 11 is used fairly regularly in the legal profession. In my experience (family law paralegal in NC), I've never used Legal paper, only Letter

I am still in the 90 days sadly, does that reflect any serious issue, as I'd imagine even with 90 days they can't simply pull something like this?

That makes absolutely zero practical sense.

I don't know, since I'm ace and a virgin
I mean, I'm ace as well, but I would totally simp for the goth doggo.

We're basically transitioning from Chris-chan to Oblivion dialogue. Still funny, but a different kind of funny.
Pretty sure they just have their arrow order mixed up.
You would be right. When I said third, I was referring to the order in which I mentioned the arrows, not the association of the arrows themselves. That's my bad, lol.
Monarchs still exist and hold an unbelievable amount of power in their regions— Saudi Arabia, Thailand, etc.
That's fair. My point is that most monarchies essentially just boil down to another facet of fascism in the modern world (i.e. The House of Saud relies on ethnoreligious nationalism, militarism, sexism and racism, and typical fascist economics: protectionism, interventionism, statism etc.)

Is there a name for this hairstyle? It's cute as fuck.
So, as an easy way to sum up:

Lmao, your first paragraph is literally part of communist theory. A post-scarcity economy is a prerequisite.
