Nobody will hear a statement from the other side of the story because the other side is a dead 13 year old.

Welp, that about sums it up.

it's time to make some

Probably, I don't know much about Temu but its ads are all over instagram, it just sells stuff ridiculously cheap which is enough to make me highly suspect of whatever they're doing. Shein is an online clothes store that uses essentially slave labor to make very cheap made to order clothes. It's just basic capitalism race to the bottom stuff.

Yeah, it's the piss that really gives him away. without it he's just a creepy buffon with terrible ideas.

I could be totally wrong here since I don't have a great understanding of how these processes worked. So downvote if you will but I'd like to be corrected.

Does this even really matter when in a lot of cases the 'experts' were often paid to say whatever corporations wanted anyhow? See the current climate crisis and all the 'experts' that guided policy and enabled it.

Obviously letting the courts just go by whatever their guts tell them isn't the answer, but some sort of a best guess based on a large enough scientific consensus?

It's different for everyone, I'm overweight and don't have tiddies at all, but I've seen men who looked like a fairly healthy weight who had noticeable tiddies.

I don't disagree at all, it just makes my voting choices more straightforward. What I find most sad about it, though, is that even though we could vote for any third party we want, the vast majority still vote for one of the big two basically identical on policy parties.

I know stuff like this sounds obvious, but sometimes hearing it does actually help. It's easy to get caught up in doing the "better" thing than doing what's right.

Trump getting in wouldn't be great, but if he does that's on the democrats.

I absolutely think that's reason enough, but I also have the luxury of preferential voting so I've never had to consider voting for a 'lesser of two evils' even if the degree is quite small.

Yours and other comments have helped me understand a bit better. It's a shitty situation to be in and I'm glad my country has preferential voting. Hopefully third parties get enough votes to at least get some attention.

I am not from around here but I have a lot of views in common with y'all but I don't quite get this one. I am also not American for what it's worth.

I get that they're both bad options and not wanting to vote for a guy supporting a genocide, but wouldn't you rather the more left leaning of the two win and go from there? Is there any benefit to voting for a third party that in all likelihood won't get in?

does Pepper Jack count?

I got into sewing so I do use an iron, but even then half the time I'm lazy and don't even press my seams. I'm not very good at sewing as a result, but I have a good time all the same.

you can do both if you just choose not to care about wrinkled clothes.

Who cares who can afford them, I never buy them and am somehow still vegan.

Like I don't think that prison is necessarily gonna reform anyone but I hate this idea that the church will, when (not sure on this specific one) it has a history of covering up abuse. Maaaaybe this guy has reformed but it doesn't sound like he's made things right by his victim, who due to a legal technicality cannot press charges against him, even though he's admitted to the crime. The system is broken, the church is broken.

I think the thing I love most about crown shyness is the name. It paints such a lovely picture of these silly trees, growing for decades side by side but too shy to encroach on their neighbours space.

The scallywags, that's unfortunate

I loved Elden Ring, I don't play many games these days but it really hooked me. But also it really needs to get over itself and add difficulty options.

I do think the difficulty is part of the fun but I almost didn't finish it because it was so all over the place, toward the end it just got grindy, bosses just turned into long roll fests until you got your one chance per minute to knock off 2% of its health bar. They feel more like endurance matches that test your patience more than skill.

Sometimes I'm dying a lot and having fun because the challenge is good, but sometimes it's just tedious and I want to move on to the next area. I would love to be able to drop the difficulty for a bit just for those spots, hell make it an in game item called cry baby bottle for losers and wimps for all I care.
