Polyamory is not a crime, barring certain circumstances.Polygamy generally is.
I commend you for your optimism.
Sure, but there are two obvious things that bear mentioning because of how routinely they're neglected:1) Apart from doing something maliciously or in good fun, there's also the possibility of acting with good intentions but utilizing malicious or otherwise harmful tropes.2) Demographics are not monolithic. Even if you get a positive/negative reaction from a particular circle, another circle may react completely differently, even with a similar demographic composition.
#2 I was really expecting it to end with the cat leading him to someone else's home.
Or at least, the one we think is most appropriate. ymmv
I'm not sure that's the best litmus.I was going to mention how slavery used to be legal, as an example.. then I remembered that it still is.
Exactly. If the third child is a newborn and the pregnancies were held as close together as possible, that's still putting the birth of the first right around two years after the snap.Regardless of how you split those two years between grieving, dating, and deciding to have children.. pre-snap partner is better off for having dodged that bullet.
Do infinite damage by polishing the surface to a mirror finish and declaring that it has infinitely many spikes!
While my parents had separated for a few years, my mom got an STD test. She spent about a month going around telling people "she went to the doctor and got an STD" before I was present and able to explain to her what she'd just said.
I can't see why you'd want to get close enough to notice, given the shrill voice and wretched personality.
Had a customer come in recently, talking about how the shoplifting was going to get worse because of the SNAP benefits situation. She complained about people "taking advantage of the system," but when I pushed back agreed that she'd rather have people "take advantage" of the system than deny it to people she'd agree need it.Then she said the whole thing was only happening because of the Democrats.She was wearing nurse's scrubs, so I guess it's my own fault for expecting better.
I agree, but there also needs to be mention that many of them (most, in my experience) are not actually changing their minds. They're just upset that they're personally feeling the consequences, same as always.
To protest the mistreatment of children*And yes, people are people, and we often act irrationally. I won't presume to speak on her reasons for converting to Islam, but to me it does kind of echo LGBT+ people who cope with religious trauma by attending an "affirming" church instead of realizing that the poison reaches down to the roots.Granted, I suppose that's still leagues better than the way other people cope with their trauma..
Mm, I disagree. I think such criticisms are also directed at the group who committed the actions-- but that the criticisms are usually not essentialist.It does seem to me like the people who rage hardest against recognizing the wrongs of the past often have difficulty grappling with the nuance that comes with avoiding essentialism.
Odd that this was downvoted. The tree will likely outlive their entire line, much less their quaint little middle school romance, and the rock, well...Here's hoping those people live long lives, haunted by specters of their own creation.
They usually drag innocents down with them, and in some cases that's more prominent than others.
I'd guess as a demonstration of their faith.Gonna be funny, though. Same as almost every other time the same sort of prediction has failed.
I was specifically imagining this setup where we've got cameras trained on them both that are constantly streaming, and people can donate to charities in order to temporarily give them ways to annoy each other. A watergun filled with sugar-water might only provide 30 minutes of entertainment, but the ants that follow will last a bit longer~
Bonus points if Clinton and Trump are in cells across from each other.
Yeah, my mom did that once with ribs.Carbonized pucks on the outside, looked like potted meat on the inside. I didn't try them, but I think I remember that she did. She liked potted meat, but she did not eat any more of them than a taste.
..in contrast with much of the rest of the world going "Yes, more genocide, please~"
Yep.My first thought was in response to how they handle all laws: "They won't legalize it, they'll just continue to commit it without punishment because they've positioned themselves above the law."Then I remembered, "Oh wait, they are actually doing that.."
(2/2) ideas, but a lack of self-awareness does not mean that one idea does not shape another.
I think your interpretation is slightly off-- I suspect you might agree with Bogleech a bit more than you think.Granted, there's a fair bit of my own interpretation of a rather short snippet, so maybe I'm wrong, but..I think that they're saying that the obsession with the continuance of their line is the underlying reasoning, and not a conscious component of their thought. Much in the way that homophobia is largely born of misogyny. They're not conscious of the interplay between these (1/2)
That is actually a different image/compilation of quotes. This post is Volume III.
Interesting.I've always thought it was basically cultivated by a combination of lead-poisoning and anti-intellectualism.. but I suppose it's also entirely possible that both are the answer-- one to the question of "why?" and the other to "how?".
That's my hope-- but I've also heard enough from them to know that their loyalty to him is so high, and their understanding of basic decency is so low, that.. well...
On the other hand, every day less conservatives have to prepare and further consolidate power is a good thing.
Enjoy it while you can, because my country's capitalism is going to make the entire world uninhabitable. I won't even comment on what it's doing to human rights..
