I think it’s the same answer as for any religion: The holy book is long enough that you can cherry-pick and reinterpret any desired ideology from it, so you really need to look at a specific sect or an individual believer for a question like that has meaningful and consistently applicable answers.
Twelve is the best number.
Those old bathing suits look like they’d be uncomfortable when wet and take forever to dry. Awful choice. Practically, less is more in the water.
I’m not aware of actual death occurring from sleep deprivation, just serious cognitive issues. That guy would die first though if it can be fatal, because the coke it would take to do so would add a lot of strain to his systems that she wouldn’t be enduring. That fanfic sounds both evil and really stupid.
I don’t think so. It’s provided me with a lot of different perspectives and information that doesn’t show up in centralized media.
Damn, I wish I knew I was bi before I met my wife, because I love avocado.
I still remember being told that in high school, and at 35 I can say with reasonable confidence that it was in fact the worst part of my life, not the best. Fuck you Mr. Ford, you were wrong, and you were an asshole, and if I can ever be arsed to locate your grave, I’ll piss on it.
Nah, it’s like a multi-tool situation. Does every kind of sexual but isn’t very good at any of them.
Brotip: The Depot isn’t even cheap, it’s just bad. At least in my region, framing lumber from small-time lumber yards is like 2-4% cheaper than the same stuff at a Home Depot or Lowe’s, while simultaneously being considerably better stock. I get custom orders like doors and windows faster and cheaper too. I saved a couple hundred bucks on a flooring project by skipping the Depot a few weeks back.
Fuck the box stores. Slow, expensive, and bad. They have nothing left but brand recognition.
I think I kinda did ten or fifteen years ago, but I’m a bear/dad now and I’m much more into rugged women than rugged men. My taste in men runs twink-ish, usually.
My wife has aged similarly though, which very much works for me.
It’d be absolutely grand if it weren’t for the collapse of democracy. There really are a lot of things coming together for me right now and I’d be so happy if I weren’t worrying about having to flee the country.
If Borderlands 2 is available in that library, I can assure you it has really held up to the test of time.
That’ll get me a new Prusa with some to spare for filament. Unless there’s a clear and specific use-case on my plate that a Core One or mk4 can’t do, I’d get a new printer.
Boy in skirt. Often a half-closeted trans woman, but not necessarily so.
The peaceful protests are more of a gathering point than the whole solution. You gotta show up to the convention first if you want to be invited to a cosplay orgy or find that guy with the good LSD again, so to speak.
I’ve got two trans friends who are a lot younger than me and they’ve both called me dad at this point, which I’ve been thriving on. I’m teaching one to drive, and I’m helping the other fix her house up. Feels good man.
This has given me the somewhat unique experience of knowing how it feels when your kids are in danger without technically having any kids. I do NOT like this. I’ve cried, screamed, panicked, and lost sleep. I’m getting a lot of relief from protesting and fighting back, but it hurts a lot.
Getting out to protests helps a LOT with the doom. And if you print out some flyers for the General Strike to hand out, you can help halt this shit in a clear and tangible way. Keep your internal narrative about your next move, not theirs.
There are ways that tariffs can be used to protect domestic industries. But when they’re done that way, it’s normally specific products, implemented carefully and with some warning. I’m pretty sure there are some tariffs to protect American automakers, off the top of my head.
What the president did is just economic suicide. Sudden, huge, fairly indiscriminate, and fluctuating. I think his goal, in his mind, may have been to replace the income tax, but he really fumbled. And that’s a bad idea anyway, because tariffs and sales taxes hit the middle class hardest, which slows down the economy.
There may also be an explanation that he really doesn’t understand cooperation and believes every deal has a winner and a loser. And then very mistakenly concluded that we were the losers in international trade because of our trade deficit. That’s incorrect. We get large amounts of goods and resources for small amounts of fiat currency, which we always seem to have more of. Our trade deficit considerably improves our quality of life in ways that cannot be replicated by an insular economy.
Eh, if his losses in court weren’t relevant, he wouldn’t bother screeching about them. Not that hard at least. He does seem to like screeching for its own sake.
