If a candidate were foreign born, they’d be ineligible. If they were under 35, they’d be stricken as well.
We have rules regarding eligibility. If you break those rules, you’re no longer eligible.
If a state court removed a candidate because they discovered that they were actually a Canadian citizen, removing them from the ballot isn’t “deciding” who we’re allowed to vote for. It’s applying the rules.
Find yourself a partner who cares as much about your genitals as Evangelicals and you’ll never be lonely.
They make a good triple point.

Can I expect similar protections for The Satanic Verses, or is this another instance of religion being afforded a special status with the power to control non-adherents lives?
I always get the two mixed up.
An America-centric one. I’ve stopped tipping altogether. When the credit card reader at my grocery store deli suggested 15% I snapped.
Base 60 was good enough the Babylonians and it’s good enough for me!
From a human experience standpoint, Fahrenheit is more meaningful than Celsius.
0°F - Too damned cold 100°F - too damned hot
0°C - Jacket weather 100°C - He ded
Old archaeologist joke:
Q. Why are the Great Pyramids in Giza?
A. Because they wouldn’t fit in the British Museum.
And this hits another topic…
Emotional expression is culturally derived.
A raised eyebrow can mean very different things to different groups. Giving a thumbs up in Turkey or an okay sign in northern Africa will have radically different messages.
I seriously hate emojis.
They tell me nothing except that the sender is too lazy to give me a hint.
They say that history is written by the victors.
But what the idiots in charge of Florida, Texas, et al. forget is that it can only be written by people who have the ability to write.
Where I live in the northern Rockies, -40°F is common enough that you kinda forget about it. But it’s also a college town. And every year we get a bunch of incoming students who treat the extreme cold like some sort of game or a challenge to their masculinity.
Same with driving. There’s a reason why the regional natives fastidiously use our turn signals and give a ton of space to cars in front of us. Because each of us has gotten into a fender bender by not doing that.
Seriously. Treat the cold with respect. It can debilitate you in just a few minutes.
Service guarantees citizenship!
Unless those working people happen to be LGBTQ. Then red and blue does matter.
Same goes for: The educated. Brown folks. Black folks. Women. Post-birth children.
Huh… Turns out that both sides are not the same after all.
My own head cannon is that she never actually loved him but was convinced by Obi Wan to play the role to perhaps act as a stabilizing influence.
But soon she discovers that her erstwhile side piece is a psychotic man-child with the powers of a minor god. Now things have spiraled out of her control. There’s a legitimate fear that, it rejected, Anakin could become unhinged and lose control.
After a few years in a loveless marriage she found herself pregnant and, like in a lot of actual abusive marriages, latches onto that as a means of preserving a relationship that should have been allowed to mercifully die.
This is the only way I can reconcile the terrible performance from an otherwise exemplary actress. She was playing the part of a woman playing a part.
I dunno. The Jewish people are part of a global cabal with access to space lasers and they still fell victim to mass extermination. I imagine that the queer community is playing a similar long con.

Hardcore History (I know, Dan Carlin is looked down upon by proper historians, but I still think he has value as a storyteller and he does cite his sources) and Our Fake History both had multipart episodes on him too.
Spoiler. He ends up committing some light genocide.
I’m confused here…
The “horse and sparrow” types have been telling us to not spend money unnecessarily. This will lead to being able to afford more bootstraps.
Soon we realize that children are crazy expensive. Doubly so here in Freedom-land where you’re lucky if you get more than a few weeks off of work and a $75k hospital bill. Which your insurance company will fight to the bitter end.
So we decide to be responsible and postpone family plans until we can afford it without going into debt for the rest of our lives.
And now there’s a moral panic about that?!
Pick one! Give up your monthly mega-yacht and allow the breeder class to get caught up financially, or stop griping about millennials postponing having children.
Totally agree with you.
I was abused in church but never in school (outside of racial epithets). Sometimes it’s easy to forget that not everybody develops a gallows humor as a coping mechanism. Thinking back to those times while in a depressive stage is a recipe for disaster.
But you are absolutely correct. Some things should only be joked about when in a group of trusted people. And I accept your advice in the spirit in which it was meant. To foster a more accepting and safer community for everybody and not as a way of getting a cheap joke.
I’d much rather be gently corrected than to be part of the background noise that might be making people feel uncomfortable.
Genuinely, thank you.
Pro tip: Yell “harder, daddy” while you’re being physically assaulted. You’ll still have physical and mental scars, but at least you’ll ensure that you’ll only get a beatdown from a trusted authority figure once.¹
