I believe that's the point being made. "Representative Democracy", or at least the pretense of which some live under at this time, is the best we ("we" referring to a particular group of people, not humanity as a sum) have found so far.
Is this the case that was being watched because, as part of the settlement, the Sackler family was likely to be granted immunity?
Holy crap! Did you hurt yourself whipping so fast to understand exactly the point?
Of course a broken person shouldn't be punished for being broken! Fuckin duh! dipshit
Should such a person be prevented from harming others? Absolutely.
Is the right move to lock this person away for 30 days of to lock them away for the rest of their life? No. Neither of these is an option even a four year old would expect to prevent this person and others in similar situations from performing similar crimes. I am confident, in fact, that even you could think of a better solution if you thought about it for about twelve seconds. Is that solution, or any solution, likely to be the perfect solution? Absolutely Not. A solution that's dog shit would be more effective than the one implemented here.
Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Frustrated is too small a word for the feeling of having a question that should have a readily available answer
I love my Thursday boots. I do a fair amount of standing and walking in them and wear them all the time and they've always been comfortable for me.
I read this article but didn't see, mind helping me get clarity?
What I read from the article is that the companies wouldn't give in to the unions' demands, Biden forced the unions to keep working but then kept pushing(?) for the demands of the unions'.
What powers does the president have to force / encourage the rail companies to adopt the demands of the unions? How did Biden keep pushing? What does pushing mean in this context?
Pretending the incident was random and unpredictable is your preferred way of preventing incidents like this from happening again?
Figure out what how and why the problem came to exist, that's kinda a big part of solving it.
I don't think I disagree with you, but with this comment you're kinda being an ass
The former president covered the cost of the bond by putting 10% toward it and he worked with a local Atlanta bonding company Foster Bail Bonds LLC, sources told CNN.
I appreciate this community and am grateful for the work you do to organize it and support its growth!
Oh this is fascinating! An example of the inverse could be maybe that Old/Older English didn't have spelling rules so much as habits?
My anecdotal experience is that my pain threshold is much higher when I'm in a particularly critical phase of my depression
Disclaimer: I am not at all a part of the polyamory scene, I just enjoy playing with words and this came up on my doomscroll.
Obviously you can call them whatever you want, whether that's "Twigs" or "Divinities", no one has a right to tell you what words you may and may not use.
But that's obvious. The question you asked is what options are there, and that's a funner question.
Thinking only a few moments I like "Connections" but expect anyone other than me would interpret that with a degree of sterility.
There's "Friends with Benefits" or just "Hookups" but given the context, I think the word you're looking for must be one that implies more intimacy and meaning.
"Companions" just sounds like a Firefly reference but maybe it could work for others who don't make that association.
Fuck, I kind of like "Allies" but people will probably think you're talking about a role playing game.
Hmmm if you expand it to two words you open options like "Heart Friends" or "Deep Friends" or "Full Friends", I think that might strike people as really childishly poetic though.
A euphemistic and tongue-in-cheek name could be "Bed Friends", that probably still carries the casual tone of "Fuck Buddy" though.
Something less explicit but perhaps with too much unintended meaning would be "Supports". (Similar, "Pillars")
Oooh ooh I like this one, "Muse" carries a pretty intimate tone, though "Muses" maybe carries a tone of superiority... hmm
The rabbit hole my thoughts have gone down now is suggesting a single word for the category of people-you-sleep-with-and-also-have-relationships-with may be the problem. If instead you determine a word for each of these people describing what you love/like them for / value them specially for. This is the edge of my understanding of the polyamorous experience though, I'm not sure if the experience is so defined as to be described as a love this person because they are such an Imp of a person but you love this person because they feel like a God/Goddess and this other person is better described as a Rascal. Hmmm I don't like this avenue, this is basically the partners pet name but suggesting you use that word to describe your relationship to others in public is probably rarely appropriate.
My grandparents once asked me if I had any new "Squeezes", I think that carries a sufficiently intimate tone?
What the fuck? The Supreme Court made a decision that protects American citizens? Did they misunderstand the question?
Oooh, let's see if they've got Bluetooth earbuds Edit: kickass
If you have apples lying around, tearing one in half with your bare hands is actually pretty easy. There are quick guides on YouTube but basically, if I'm remembering right, you put the heels of your palms together at the bottom of the apple and finger tips at the stem and kind of squeeze the apple and try open the apple like a book. It makes a big difference having freshly washed hands.
Thank you, hearing that my words were valuable to you is probably the most valuable gift you could have given
