If at any time a government document sites the “wrath of (theological deity)” it should be thrown out. Where the fuck is our separation of church and state?!?

Honest question, can someone tell me why this is being allowed in the courtroom? I’m curious what the loophole is.

Maybe I’m getting older but I feel like texting someone so late they didn’t read it until after the proposed meeting time might not be a good strategy either.

Upvoted for bravery, but I have never disagreed so wholly with someone on any topic more than this.

This is really cool but all I can think of is how as a kid I was never able to have any of the big, exciting Lego sets. It was always so disappointing to love Lego and see all the things I’d never get to play with.

Who is this priced for? (I know the answer). Things are getting so out of hand that kids can’t even play with toys anymore. So much has to cater to elitist cash grabs….

Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool that adults can grab a piece of nostalgia. I just feel like “the line” keeps getting pushed out further and further for what capitalism can get away with.

It’s actually the pig that says that.

This meme is from the future!

No one should ever do anything to help anyone unless they PASS A BILL (even writing a bill is not good enough)based on the help they give.

Gianni Infantino is carefully explaining to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.

Checking in to see the sole comment was exactly as expected.

Those are all expired!!!! Conspiracy to create superior athletic humans?

Why is the caricature in this image not wearing wraparound sunglasses or sporting a goatee?

Can’t confirm the quantity that would release, but a front-loading cement truck would certainly dump at least a small amount of concrete when slamming on the brakes that hard. The slump of the concrete seems to be 7-8”(loose) and there is no mechanism that would completely prevent concrete from spilling forward that I am aware of.

That said, the concrete does appear to continue for a while after reasonably assuming gravity would stop the flow. Maybe he turned on the hydraulics since he was pissed?

Final Fantasy Tactics. One of my favorites, and actually older than Golden Sun.

There’s no catch-all plan for parenting. Some kids need to be pushed, some need space, and there’s no way to tell whether the approach was the best approach until “Monday Morning”. All we can do is reflect later on when kids become adults, and even then who knows what the path not taken would have sown? Hopefully, being loving and compassionate is enough, and the fact that we did our best is what will be remembered.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there doing the best you can!

I was curious about this video after seeing this reply, as Ive always seen humanitarian aid as a good thing, regardless of motive. This appears to be a video mostly mentioning USAID. I looked for references to imperialism and hegemony but mostly found opinion pieces regarding USAID and other similar organizations and they appear to criticize that they don’t work (which is believable and probably true) but don’t offer much in the ways that foreign aid is actually imperialism.

I understand that diplomacy is a thing. I offer you something in hopes of getting something that will benefit me. But what do folks with your viewpoint mean (as best as you can speak for others knowing you are just an individual) when you imply that AOC and others with similar neoliberal ideals are pushing for imperialism?

I don’t understand Patel’ comments at the end. Why does he call Sen, Schiff a coward? Something about how he was proven wrong about Jan 6th and “Russiagate” as well. I can’t find anything regarding proof of lying regarding him. Is there context to this or is Patel just lashing out with nonsense to stop the grilling? Seems like they have history together.

The bell ringing is fitting. I feel like I’m watching professional wrestling most days now. It’s exhausting. Everything has always gotta be such a spectacle!

I don’t want to speak for the person you replied to but I just want to point out that this was probably a joke, with the implication being that the CDC is currently ineffective due to current administration policies, and aligning with your viewpoint.

They’ll feel better after typing in all caps.

I appreciate the help, but this person’s intent was never to actually learn about her.

I don’t know for sure what the point was. Just more pessimist hand waiving I guess. Maybe underachievement guilt, maybe jealousy, maybe just plain old fashioned misogyny.

Hyperbole was enough for this transaction.

Edit: I also wanted to add that I did not insult my friend above. We just don’t agree. I thought some fun over exaggeration would point out the unproductive nature of that line of thinking.
