I foresee an unfortunate rise in self foraged mushroom poisonings

Plus, he’s young enough that if nobody kills him, he’ll definitely have to answer for his actions at the American version of the Nuremberg Trials.

I was so excited for a second because I assumed the wristbands were in support. This is such a loser thing for an adult to do though. I can’t imagine setting out in the morning to make a child feel less secure and accepted.

You have to be Wisconsin levels of drunk to get a dui in East Windsor

I can understand that, but I suspect that neither calls itself The Times. In countries with a large newspaper known as a Times, The Times is called The London Times to differentiate itself

Jesus, why did they choose that name? I get that it means truth, but surely it was tainted by the then 88 year old newspaper in the country that colonized yours? Imagine if an Algerian person, fed up with French interference in their media, founded the Algerian newspaper, Le Monde.

Pravdas Ukrainian now? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda

It is to nazism, what manifest destiny is to American imperialism

Is this a reference to something?

There’s a German furniture store in operation today called Lebensraum, which absolutely gutted me when I first saw it, but it also just means habitat/living space.

Theater freelancer is also doing a lot of heavy lifting there, tbf

I gotta assume a theater freelancer in Oregon probably didn’t vote for him

I’m an anti-Zionist because I don’t think Britain had the right to carve up Mandatory Palestine. I don’t think Israel should have been created, but I also think nobody has the right to get rid of them now. There might come a point when the Israeli government is as unsalvageable as the third reich, but just as there’s now Germany where that had been, I don’t think the solution is to just remove the people who are citizens of Israel. I do wish the world were better at enforcing consequences on countries/leaders for bad actions though.

I’m honestly not sure how that would apply to infant adoptions. It’s my understanding that if the adoption occurs early enough, the adoptive parents will be listed on the birth certificate. It certainly feels like a child adopted in infancy by citizens should be just as eligible for the presidency as a child naturally born to citizens, but I’d also have a hard time drawing a line age-wise after which that would no longer apply and I do see a reason to bar children adopted at 17 from the presidency. My niece was adopted at three years old and she does remember her biological mother, but she’s absolutely my sister and brother in law’s daughter, in terms of her personality, culture, and values. That’s only a data point of one and I’d like more, but I don’t know how easy that would be to track for other adopted children.

Well that’s a fucking problem. What if Russia, India, and the US turn against the rest of the world? I don’t know if other NATO countries and other countries with competitive militaries can do it alone. China is going to have to take a stand one way or the other. I hope they make the right decision, but I don’t know if they will.

Ehh, they scored more than half of those points within six minutes, and six out of seven within the first half hour. They stopped trying to score after halftime and dampened their post-goal celebrations. It seemed like they really weren’t trying to rub it in, but Brazil was just not being competitive.

It’s roughly 722, which isn’t far off enough of 961 to make a difference in the plausibility of this claim, but I wanted to throw that out there.

Feel bad for their children, not the Yale educated lawyer who chose to marry him.

To be fair, it’s also not secure for the average consumer, if they accidentally add a journalist to their gc

Somewhat off topic, but once upon a time I worked as an insurance adjuster for litigated liability claims. A commercial customer of mine tendered about 12k lawsuits in which they were named as a defendant (it was a novel type of lawsuit and they were a big player, imagine what the roundup lawsuits are like for Monsanto) all at once.

For background, insurance companies are required to make a reasoned determination of coverage within 30 days of receiving notice of a claim. If that’s impossible, they can file an extension within 7 days of receipt, but there would have to be one extension tailored to each claim. Additionally, once coverage has been established, it’s more difficult for an insurance company to change their mind and rescind it (insurance companies make the contracts, meaning they make the rules, so courts are not especially forgiving when they get confused about how the rules they made apply).

Basically, by sending us over 10k new kinds of lawsuits all at once, they were trying to force us to extend coverage for as long as it took for us to find very good reasons to deny each individual claim. Unluckily for them, basically everyone except about four of us with poorly managed ADHD was remote. We all transferred everything to the remote people and we spent about three weeks just hyperfocusing and reading through the lawsuits. In the end, we were able to respond in time to about 80% of the lawsuits and we filed extensions on the rest in time (though tbh, their insurance department probably felt similarly overwhelmed by ~2.5k extensions).

I don’t have much pride about my work there, but that felt very good. Especially because I honestly have less sympathy for this company than Monsanto
