Also the X-men aren't human. Kinda makes the court system feel like the baddies tho
Bold of you to think they read any part of the bible except the ones they can twist for the sake of hatred.
Ahh yes, Squeaky Clean Donald, never his fault anything happens. Who ate the blueberry pie? Donald, his face covered in blueberry remains, immediately says "Joe Biden did it!". Who set the house on fire? Donald, gas can in hand, blames Hillary. Who killed the goose that laid the golden egg? Donald, a bloody mess, says the Democrats must've done it.
How could someone take umbrage there? Like... read his origin story. He was born on Krypton. He got dropped on Earth. He was adopted by folks in Kansas. If I told people I found a child who drifted across the Rio Grande and adopted him as my own, we'd all agree he was probably from Mexico and not a native born citizen. But apparently him drifting in from SPACE changes the narrative?
In marking a trail, after bending and fastening the young trees, the Indian would usually carve upon them his individual or clan insignia.
Why are hot dogs in Maine neon red? Learn how a German immigrant, food science, and smart marketing turned them into a local barbecue staple.
Sometimes thats the case and sometimes it was just prepped wrong (e.g. boiling instead of cooking in a oven) or has gotten legit better.
Ghislane Maxwell serving 20 years for taking no one nowhere on a nonexistent private jet to do nothing
The technicality argument always rubbed me the wrong way. Like the guys who are into jailbait and say they aren't pedophiles because pedophilia is for under ten year olds and they want to fuck teenagers. Brother you still want to fuck underage folks.
Same generally with piracy. Saying it's not theft because there's no physical deprivation of goods just sounds deluded. It's still taking stuff without paying for it. Who are you trying to fool? Are you hoping someone is gonna read that nonsense and say, "Oh shit hes right guess we gotta get rid of copyright law now"? And would you want them to in the day and age of AI stealing everything?
I'm not even really trying to scold folks who pirate, I do it too, I just don't bother to grandstand about it. BFD I'm pirating 30 year old video games. Y'all think if I bought a 200 dollar used one on Ebay the original studio sees a dime of it? C'mon now.
By definition it cannot.
Save Downtown Menlo (From the poors)
Flash sales were great but refunding is better.
IIRC "ACA" and "Obamacare" had similar divides. Propaganda is a helluva drug.
banning slightly increasing the price of plastic forks is anti-semitic
The Times reports that she claimed some cisgender women players were considering quitting, fearing unfair competition
At least with the more physical sports there's a (spurious) argument about bone structure or whatever. There really isn't that same argument wrt Chess, even if it be a bit physically taxing.
Officially there's women's and open tournaments. There isn't anything stopping the top female player, Hou Yifan from going to a tourney and potentially playing the top (general and specifically male) player Magnus Carlsen.
Kathryn Harkup, author of "V Is for Venom," joins us to discuss why Christie isn’t just a brilliant writer but a unique science communicator.
Not a whole lot the left and right can agree on these days but I think "Fuck this dude for bitching about missing his beach vacation because he has to do the job he was elected for" is fairly bipartisan.

The [Marines] $57.2 billion budget request is part of the Navy’s $292.2 billion overall proposed spending plan for fiscal 2026, which begins Oct. 1. The budget request reflects a more than 6% increase from the 2025 request.
More then three times the budget of the Marines.

Anytime you order nachos at a sporting event, there’s a good chance they came from a molten-cheese empire in San Antonio, Texas.
Neither of those studies seem to be about the random one off I'm implying. If mom is smoking bowls with them every weekend that's a different discussion.
Don't like it but I get it.
Thousands of previously overlooked manuscripts paint a new picture of a period many have dismissed as "backwards".
In the 19th century, astronomers could see Mars through telescopes, but not clearly. Some used their imaginations to fill in what the blurry images couldn’t convey.
When golf tournaments promise big cash prizes for holes-in-one, they turn to niche insurers to protect against a stroke of luck.
In rural Alaskan and Canadian communities, reducing conflict between people and their wild neighbors means both species must change their behavior
