This is NOT a purity spiral

Right, because that’s exactly what people who are not in a purity spiral say.

Of course they saw it coming, that’s why they banned abortion in the first place. It’s all about control.

Israel DOESN’T dictate American domestic policy, evangelical Christians do. They believe that the existence of the state of Israel is a necessary step to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus, so they’re all in and absolutely nothing can sway them.

The owner is gambling that Trump wins the election and pardons himself. Then the fuhrer will owe his friend a favor for the help.

We’ll see how it works out, I guess. I voted against it, personally, because it adds a bunch of extra responsibilities to existing programs without any extra long-term funding to go along with it. I’m concerned that stretching limited resources even thinner may not be the best strategy.

Seriously? Anyone voting for mister “grab them by the pussy” has zero right to criticize a married man for talking about having sex with his wife. What an absolute nothing of a story.

“Please be aware of the power dynamics in your group and ensure that everyone in your meeting feels able to express themselves and has an equal chance to be heard.”

That seems extremely reasonable, actually?

Everyone knows pro wrestling is all staged performances but I’ve never heard that said of boxing. As far as I know those are real.

Find a way to work a small amount of exercise into your daily routine. Walk places instead of driving, do some jumping jacks in the morning or before bed, something simple that you can get yourself to do without much stress or planning. If you do it consistently, even 10-20 minutes of exercise a day can make a big difference in the long run.

We have it the same as you. I never really gave it any thought.

Yup, Spiritfarer is my answer too. I played up through the first person to pass on and then couldn’t keep going.

Au contraire! Isreal has been working hard to end the humanitarian crisis by the simplist possible method: getting rid of all the people.

I’ve been following Professor Phillips Obrien for analysis on this subject, and he largely shares your opinion.

He thinks that if the US really wanted Ukraine to win the administration would have been providing much more long-range weapons, and that they still could. Ukraine can still win, but it depends on their allies actually helping them do that.

I was all set to call the guy a hero based on the headline, but apparently the reason he leaked the info was that he thought the war crimes were being investigated too much?

Depends on how you define “state”. IIRC, Marx drew a distinction between “state” and “government”, where the former is all the coercive institutions (cops, prisons, courts, etc). In this framework, you need a “government” to do the things you refer to, but participation in that government’s activities should be voluntary, without the threat of armed government agents showing up at your door if you don’t comply.

Clean the filter in your dishwasher once every month or two, depending on how often you use it.

Except Trump has been a disaster for the GOP. They have consistently underperformed compared to expectations since he was elected.

You can ask them to do that when you order.

The hype backlash was a serious issue for that game. People expected it to be something it never could have been.

The fries at In-N-Out Burger. I really like them. They actually taste like potatoes, which are delicious.
