171·13 days agoDems have to be in on it, that’s the only thing that makes sense. It isn’t Dem vs. Rep, it’s rich vs. poor :(
Considering freezer storage tessellation as a deciding factor in your storage container shapes feels like putting theory way ahead of practice. But I still want them.
I dug in (thanks for linking sources) and there are some promising details. The ~80% figure for the US is from a 2011 report (even though the citation states 2014…), so it’s very old. In 2019, the US began an initiative to increase awareness of this issue and address it, see the progress here (pdf link).
Not trying to counter the narrative, but at least we’re talking about it on the federal level, so maybe that can provide some optimism to people.
Wow do you even respect your dog?
I hear you, and those things seem nice at a glance, but I don’t agree with your sense of guarantee. We’re seeing an upending of things that “usually” happen, or that “definitely can” happen, especially with “self-managed” entities such as the SCOTUS. Have you seen judges actually get held accountable recently, even locally?
What are you basing this on?
How are there two St. Martin parishes within a proverbial block of each other?
Edit: Oh, okay they’re the same parish, geographical locality be damned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin_Parish,_Louisiana
That guy has the BEST impersonation I’ve ever seen, it’s repulsive! Not just the voice, but the hands, the sucking air through the teeth, the head tilts and mouth movements, all spot-on. You know how you have to wonder about the mental state of horror game/movie artists looking at reference material all day? Same feeling about Shane Gillis.
The New York statue, in Union Square, was removed early that afternoon; the New York City Parks Department made a statement that it “stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”.
I can’t
To clarify a point I don’t think the people replying have specifically pointed out enough already: this line of thinking is contrary to a representative democracy. If some people aren’t worthy of voting, then they aren’t worthy of being represented by their government (e.g. slaves, felons, children). That’s the main disagreement I have with that idea.
If you truly believe there’s a measurable line for intelligence/competence below which people shouldn’t vote, are you worried there are so many people in that group that it would affect the outcome? If that’s true, then don’t they deserve representation? This problem is solved if everyone votes. Shouldn’t we just try to educate people instead of creating another marginalized group?
It matters from a cause-and-effect standpoint, but you’re callously and self-righteously blaming their whole situation on it. That you stop trying to understand the situation at that point reveals that you’re using it as an excuse to blame peoples’ suffering exclusively on their personal choices to feel better about yourself. That completely ignores any circumstances, predatory draws, nonstandard brain chemistry, or other factors outside of their control and assume they had perfect, complete knowledge of the situation and consequences at the time – which is honestly silly.
Strange, works for me. You can get the gist by searching for Black Lotus on that site. tl;dr the rarest versions of it can go for 8k+ USD
So the idea is the fan’s function is largely encompassed by the other infrastructure – central air or heat pump, say – but they keep it there anyway because it looks nice? Alright, to each their own
I haven’t ever encountered a ceiling fan that was primarily decorative to the point it would be considered swappable with recessed lighting, where are you getting this impression?
100% get out with that garbage, don’t bring that here. Be better.
Mine is sate vs satiate
