You went to a lot of effort here to present that very clearly, and I salute you. I’d like to think others here are just blinded by their own ideals, and that’s why nobody is answering, not because they were just arguing for a side they didn’t believe in and don’t have response to that.
“Affairs cannot get a security clearance at higher level government appointment jobs because they can be used as blackmail,” the operative said.
I have to assume anyone marrying a (divorced bc of cheating) Kennedy doesn’t expect fidelity.
The CEO of Merck should have to explain that to the victims in person. They should really get in there, offer a supportive hug if it feels right.
That’s because he’s a patsy. The judges he put through have done enough and will do more
While celebrating them, no less
They’re also herbivores…
I ate your onion and was about to quibble about the New Hampshire accent.
I agree with you 100%, just wanted to say that you probably mean tortuous… though torturous is definitely metaphorically possible 😂
Yes, because people don’t want to do that unless there’s a corrupt reason for it, like with Taft and Jackson. It would be way too much to ask of a non corrupt person.
Off, or not really the norm :)
Like, I said it’s nice that people think I’m a dude, but I don’t know if fully cis women think that’s nice 😅
You mean sea salt? Yeah, there’s tiny shellfish in it, which is why kosher salt exists
How can he deny the holocaust while calling himself a black nazi?
I moved to Germany, which is also nice, but with an easier language for English speakers to learn (not super easy to master, but it’s pretty closely related and getting a good grasp on day to day conversations is relatively simple).
Probably the biggest takeaway I have is that poverty culture largely forms the flavor of any community, and communities without poverty have no flavor to them.
That’s such a succinct way to put something I feel like I’ve read 400 page books about. I’d also never thought about it as one thing before: I’ve definitely had the thought that famines make the best cuisines and boredom the best games, but I’ve never put it together as a general rule.
…but you think Andrew Jackson and Taft were doing what was best for the country?
Not everyone is straight, I wasn’t digging at you for inexperience.
You misunderstand. Lots of women like to “look at sexy ladies,” but the things that turn men and women on in pornography are different (this should not be a surprise if you’ve sexually engaged with a member of the opposition sex). They’re noting that they didn’t find anything aimed at women, which is reflective of the gender demographics here.
There’s always a difference in how men and women are treated. It’s not always a horrible evil sexist thing, but people pick up on cues from tone and username and react to that.
Being online is nice, because the default assumption is that you’re a man, so unless you have a super femme username or are talking about something femme-coded like gardening or knitting, people tend not to treat you like a woman. “Treating you like a woman” basically means being dismissive of your experience or knowledge or tone policing (if I make a rude joke under a femme username, people downvote the hell out of it unless it’s about a very safe target- that’s how minor the difference is, to be clear). I’m also probably an egg, so my perception of not being treated like a woman as nice might be skewed.
My point is that it’s too much to ask of her to be president for eight years and then continue nobly serving her country.
The people who still want to be in politics after that aren’t doing it for good reasons.
Honestly, everyone just being a little gracious is all you really need.
I’m vegan and I have no issues going to a normal bbq place for someone else’s party(though I don’t know what this place would be like). I can eat corn and undressed salad for a meal, I’ll survive. If the party were for me, I’d probably feel like it was passive aggression or a weird test though.
Similarly, there will be non-vegan food when I introduce my husband to my family and celebrate our wedding in my home country with a potluck, because one of my sisters has celiac’s and the other IBS, which restricts her fiber intake. I would have been totally cool with exclusively mashed potatoes (skin off) for dinner and sorbet for dessert, but I don’t think many others would be, and there’s not much else that works for all of us.
Sure, I could tell them not to bring non-vegan food, but that’s not very gracious, and I want people to be comfortable. They’d probably agree and either eat ahead of time or leave earlier and eat on the way home, so it’s not like there’s a practical difference in meat consumption, and it’s a great way to make people feel less welcome.
