I somehow thought they were the same guy until now, like how kal penn worked for Obama.

Edit: I looked him up and realized that the person I was picturing the whole time was actually Jon cryer, so I’m clearly not too well informed

I think it would be funny if the speechwriter had gotten to go though

He already tried unsuccessfully to get it shut down for repairs

Well that makes sense. I rode my bike 75 minutes to and from work a few times, because my workplace had a gym and I could shower. Without a shower, I would have created unpleasant workplace conditions for everyone around me after that commute.

I’m not the OC, but I definitely have a strong Christian bias when I hear that someone’s a creationist. I would almost certainly assume they were a baptist or Pentecostal if it wasn’t specified. It doesn’t matter, but it removes the potential excuse that it’s just the culture he grew up in.

Though now I have to look up Jewish creationism to see if I was very wrong.

Edit: it’s kind of what I suspected- there are Jewish creationists, but it’s not nearly as common, and there are a lot more options for reconciling two seemingly incompatible beliefs within the framework of Judaism.

God, I wish. I’m small woman, I pour sweat at 20 :(

I figured that would kill pacemakers, but it might not. it’ll definitely kill electric wheelchairs and insulin fridges though.

heimliches Filmen ist aktuell in Deutschland nicht per se strafbar. Besonders in öffentlichen Räumen sind Betroffene kaum geschützt.

(Roughly in English)

covert filming isn’t currently illegal in Germany per se. Those filmed are rarely protected, especially in public

Filming in public not being illegal, I get, but he’s profiting off of her likeness. Ideally that would be illegal itself, but even if not, could she not sue him for a share? Obviously, putting the burden on victims is not a great remedy, especially because it’s expensive, a huge hassle, and risks the Streisand effect, but I could see a women’s rights organization orchestrating it for her and it might be possible to keep her identity secret.

Again, I don’t think that’s ideal, but it seems better than nothing and wouldn’t preclude criminal charges from going through if the government does figure out how to prosecute this

In that case, make it wait 16 years

You just fire any employee for having sex with someone they aren’t married to. Then you’d get premarital sex and adulterers, if Christians still cared about that.

I do wonder how much of my life I’ve wasted doing those cookie banners, but I guess I’ve wasted time doing dumber things.

I’d like to think I’d take one for the team if there are explosive collars involved and the other option is that billionaires enslave humanity even after money is worthless. I suspect most people would (like to think that, that is).

It only takes one to actually do it.

This would be a nicer place if everyone extended a little grace to each other. It seems unlikely that the commenter meant “the Nazis who personally, emotionally matter to me” and pretty likely that they meant “the Nazis who are unfortunately very powerful.”

I do too (and I’m glad)! My mom died at the height of the yo momma joke trend and I came up with a comeback that I was so proud of, it made me actively hope for one. Here goes:

My mom’s dead, but I hear she was a great piece of ash.

Take away the “that” and the semicolon is okay, but you should go full colon.

Same advice as with your mom, actually.

Imagine St. Patrick’s Day parades where they push the idea that Ireland should conquer the British isles

I’m listening…

In that argument, you could replace every instance of Cuba with Taiwan, the US with China and the Russia with Europe, and it would be the exact same argument many make about Taiwan. That argument is a lot easier for people to reject, but both are equally flawed, because they both disregard the self determination of the citizens of those countries. China and the US need to just let small nearby islands be.

Not even my foxbrained MAGA dad thinks the Cuban people are to blame for the tension between Cuba and the US. This feels like when trump wanted to jail women for getting abortions and all of the Christofascists were like: ”oh shoot, we just wanted to jail the doctors, but this works too”

What comes after the soap, ballot, and jury boxes?

It’s like clan of the cave bear. Cool ideas at first and diminishing returns with each successive book.
