Nah, the loss is on stupid Americans. No matter her position on these issues, it should have been a landslide victory for anyone but Trump.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_bolt_pistol

It’s a captive bolt pistol, or cattle gun. It’s what they use in slaughter houses to stun animals before killing them.

In commercial operations, rates of failure can be significant and multiple shots are often used. One study looking at cattle found that 12% were shot multiple times, and 12.5% were inadequately stunned. Other research has recorded higher error rates, such as a study looking at young kangaroos and finding that 38% failed to be stunned.

Ahhh, the meat industry. Isn’t it beautiful…

For decades, the Justice Department has dispersed election monitors across the country to observe procedures in polling sites and at places where ballots are counted. That was a power granted to the federal government under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices and sought to equalize voting access. After the U.S. Supreme Court gutted parts of the law years ago, the agency now must get permission from state and local jurisdictions to be present or get a court order.

The Post’s withheld endorsement was seen as another example of tech executives and billionaires preparing for a potential second Trump administration. Meta’s (META+0.38%) Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, and Google (GOOGL+0.58%) CEO Sundar Pichai have all reportedly spoken with Trump in recent weeks or months.

Fucking pathetic. Groveling at the feet of Trump.

That should be regulated. That’s insane light pollution.

Doesn’t matter. If you take those numbers, let’s say 4 out of 10 men are against abortion, so you put them in a pile.

Then you take 3 out of 10 women against abortion and you put them in the same pile.

So now you have a pile with 4 men and 3 women who are against abortion. Which would mean 4/7 people who are against abortion are men. Which is 57%. Not 79% at all.

Either way. What’s the source. Should always source your statistics.

Where did she get that number? Where’s the source?

Majorities of both men (61%) and women (64%) express support for legal abortion.

38% of men are against abortion, and 33% of women are against.

The numbers are pretty similar.

Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. That’s a common misconception.

The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began in 591, when Pope Gregory I identified Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’s feet in Luke 7:36–50.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene

But Jesus was most certainly very accepting of people from all walks of life. That was like his whole purpose. So the other comment about him rejecting people from the community is dead wrong. If anything, people reproached him because he was too accepting of the “sinners”.

This is incorrect. This is not a healed scar at all. That’s a very fresh burn wound exposing the flesh underneath without the melanin layer.

You can literally see the wound is fresh and is peeling off. Not a healed scar.

Go look up healed burn scars on black skin. The images can be pretty gruesome, but the melanin mostly returns.

Biologists would never say that. At least not any biologist worth their salt.

There’s no nurture or nature. It’s both.

No, it’s not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn’t know much about Marvel or comics.

I mean I don’t know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.

You forgot the second part, which really justifies his fears. The whole quote:

“I’ve had a pest man around to sort the problem and he said there were still thousands of wasps around. He warned me not to go near there because they might smell the stings on me.”

And apparently, the stings and the smell are like markers for other wasps to attack (according to an expert in the article).

No regrets

Damn. I regret that I lived a life with regrets. Add that to the list of regrets.

and normally they don’t interact

But dark energy and dark matter make up 95% of our universe. So they would be the “normal”.

If anything, the 5% that we do know would be the “abnormal”.

And anyway, it’s only called dark energy and dark matter, not because it doesn’t have a cause, but because it doesn’t interact with light (photons don’t interact with it).

Although I think you are right that they don’t know what causes it. It does interact with gravity, though.

But all this is way beyond my tiny brain.

Because, according to the article, only the women had their hair removed. The men did have pubes.

In ancient Greece, whether you were a hairy alpha male or a gorgeous and effeminate power bottom, the gents were generally allowed to let it all hang out. But when it came to depicting the female body, she was always entirely pubeless.

If I remember correctly, he does talk about his drug use in that book. He even talks about drinking mouthwash at one point because he was that much of an alcoholic.

He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

Wtf??

Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

Wtf… why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!

Elon Musk is not spending $45 million a month to elect former President Donald Trump, though he has created a new super political action committee (PAC) to fund the Republican candidate, the billionaire told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson during an interview Monday evening.

What a bullshit headline. It’s literally the first line of the article.

So he is spending money to fund Trump. He’s just going through a super PAC because he can’t legally straight up give Trump 45 million.

He probably talked to his lawyers and they told him to correct himself.

I get what you’re saying, but let’s chill out on the infantilization of women.

A 20-something-year-old woman doesn’t compare to a 12-year-old.

And maybe the 20-something-year-old woman hitting on you just wants to have fun and is not thinking about anything working out with you. Presume much?

But sometimes you have to invade to defend.

How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?
