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
Not sexy vibes, but friendship vibes. They each do favors for the other and then get bashful about having positive feelings for each other. Fanfiction writers can pretty easily use that as a jumping off point for modeling how the characters would act if they did have romantic feelings for each other.
Yes on bashir and Garak though. I resisted it at first, but I’ve fully given in and have read exclusively that for the last week.
I’m tall, blue eyed, fluent in German, and I married a German, so racists always consider me “one of the good ones”(until they actually talk to me). It was still absolutely night and day to go with my husband. It’s probably worth buying a friend lunch.
I’m sorry that this is only tangentially related, but I’m 30 years late to a fandom and I’m itching to bitch.
I’ve been trying to look up fanfiction for DS9, and it’s fucking astounding how much quark/Odo porn there is. I get that they’ve got vibes, but it’s just too big a leap for me. Quark’s getting some serious character development lately (I’m in the 7th season) though, so maybe something changes soon.
If you haven’t already, try bringing a German with you to the ausländerbehörde. It’s wild how much politer and more attentive they are
I left after I saw how we handled covid. I have friends who started looking in November of 2016 and family who did in January of 2001. We didn’t start the fire.
Make it seem like the void just… doesn’t notice him.
God, can you imagine killing JFK by accident and having to sit on that secret forever because the FBI doesn’t want to get a bad reputation?
I’ll admit that I’m not the most patriotic American (I’m an emigrant, for one), and I’m not from a deep trump area, but I don’t know a single American, except for maybe my fox news addled dad, who doesn’t think Canada’s completely in the right. Even Vermonters who worry about heating their homes want trump to stop, not Canada.
Lead paint is not going to enter my body, but that’s because I very rarely put unknown things in my mouth. Toddlers operate differently
Far too many people didn’t have a problem with it in the abstract, but I guess that shit cake isn’t so appetizing once it’s actually been made.
Sanders has every reason in the world to get discouraged and give up. It’s a small ray of hope that he doesn’t.
No shit.
There’s literally no other reason to: there are “immigrant detention camps” closer to nyc and Syria/Algeria, and this is arguably the worst one in terms of likelihood of winning your immigration case and likelihood of getting pepper sprayed for no goddamn reason
Yeah, it would be great if Columbia just acceded to the protesters fully and divested from Israel in response to this.
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.
