Who amongst us has never accidentally shifted into 1st instead of 3rd?

Yeah it was progressive at the time since it stopped the military from digging around and asking your family if you are gay, especially since there weren’t even civil unions in most states back then.

What i don’t understand is why Obama didn’t pardon them all since DADT was overtirned in 2010

We still do that today, just with thr patient under anesthesia so they dont freak out about uaving a hole drilled in their skull.

It really just isn’t possible for most ooffice buildings. Think about how many bathrooms/kitchenettes are on a floor of any office building. You would have to likely double or triple that number to convert to housing, which is an absolutely insane and expensive prospect that would require gutting the entire building and resoing the entire plumbing and electric systems. It’s chraper to jist tear the fuckers down and build something made for condos/apartments.

Americans dont hate Iran on ideological grounds. They hate Iran because they are jealous of their theocractic republic and desperately eant to emulate it.

It’s een hotter here in NW Ohio than in Houston all week.

Thats why the government issued rations stamps during the depression. That way food aid actually helped people instead of just linning the pockets of grocers. But the past 40 years of neoliberal deregulation has made that an absolute non-starter and most people dont even know how much the government used to regulate and manage everything.

Feels like someone saw how easy it is to pander to conservative chuds and figured the same could be done for “gay men” (read young white liberal women). I don’t see how anyone in the target demographic can view something like this as anything other than incredibly insulting.

It’s juice is very acidic and will not feel good when it gets inside your urethra.

Kanye lost about 2/3rds of his net worth over night because Nike dropped the Yeezy brand. Being a partial owner of a niche brand is in no way comparable to someone like Musk who has controling interest in multiple market leading companies. Celebrity status can be leveraged to get a minority stake in a company, but minority owners can be forced out just as easily.

Kanye supposedly was before he lost all his endorsements for openly being a Nazi. Artists dont actually own any means of production so they can very quickly lose everything.

I get that, but the local priest or pastor isn’t holding service in a former basketball arena with giant piles of cash hidden in the walls,or selling doomsday kits to preppers or has a private airport in his estate where he keeps a fleet of private jets. It’s not even comparable to a local priest or pastor that drives a BMW or buys his wife a designer handbag every year for Christmas. Televangelist prosperity gospel preachers spend more in a year than your local Bishop will make in his entire life.

There is a lot you can criticize any religious organization for, but i do believe that most people who join the church originally did so out of piety and devotion to the faith before being corrupted by the power that comes with the position. Prosperity gospel is the opposite, where conmen realize they can openly grift the poor and desperate tax free. Say what you will about the Catholic Church and their willingness to cover up heinous crimes that their clergy commit, but the archbishop or Cardinal will definitely investigate and take action if they findout a bishop or priest has been embezzling funds from their congregation, and your local diocese does a lot of community outreach that you probably aren’t even aware of. Non-denominational megachurchs aren’t running food kitchens, homeless shelters, or giving money to those in need. They exist solely to extract wealth from followers and fund the labish lifestyle of the church leader.

Your local denominational churchs aren’t asking for money saying that god will pay it back tenfold eventually. They are upfront about what they are doing with the money and you should only give what you can afford because it is the right thing to do if you love the church. Weekly service at the local church is still important to a lot of people for lots of social reasons, and those churchs need money to be able to offer those services, which means tiths and donations are necessary. But even the most ostentatious Cathedral or Southern Baptist church will have sermons about the evil and corrupting influence of money.

It wasn’t hotter, they just didn’t have nearly as much air conditioning.

Prosperity gospel says that money is a sign of Gid’s favor, so by writing a check to a televangelist you will be paid back exponentially in time. The central pillar is literally that if i give Joel Osteen $100 a week, i will eventually earn double that throuh God’s favor. Meanwhile televangelists are just pocketing that money to pay for private jets, massive mansions, and massive TV deals to sucker in more followers.

Regular tithing goes towards paying for church upkeep, missionary and community work, and anything else the church needs to keep running.

Wawa, Sheetz, Buc-cee’s, and QT, all kinda fill that roll. Grab and go restaurant with a gas station out front.

I’m all about show Drummer myself. But i am glad they made her a milf in the later books.

Sure, but how is a useless middleman entrepreneur supposed to get a cut if the scouts make and sell their own goods to fundraise.

Credit scores were literally invented right after the courts decided you couldn’t reject someone’s mortgage application just because they are black. Now interested of a “Whites Only” neighborhood, you just need a high credit score.

So you expect Republicans to stop supporting terrible candidates but expect Democrats to support terrible candidates?

The problem is that Tesla is essentially just a pump and dump masquerading as a car company. Their market cap is simply absurd and based on nothing other than Musk’s personality cult. If Musk leaves the company gor whatever reason, the stock will crash and the company will go bankrupt. They have an obscene amount of debt that is backed by Tesla stock, so once thier stock falls below a certain price, all thos loans will demand their loneu back
