As weird as the concubines thing is, a lot of people overlook that he said the alternative was that these guys would be food.

I guess I should have figured some of these conservatives were secretly cannibals after all the times they accused others of eating babies.

Contrary to their name, they are not, in fact, not made of butter.

I check Standard Ebooks regularly and primarily get my public domain stuff from it. It is slow to get new content, but that’s just the price to pay for free volunteer driven content.

The Ebooks are really well formatted and consistent. They’ve even got copies formatted especially for kobo readers. I don’t actually know the difference between epub and kepub myself but it’s nice to know it’s meant to work with my e-reader.

I know there’s some kind of small drama about the more technical aspects or style guides the volunteers are supposed to use, but whatever that is it’s never impacted my ability to read the books or caused obvious breaks in the visuals.

I didn’t know it was called ISO8601 but I started naturally using it at work. It removes confusion among international colleagues, makes it way easier to sort data, and is also good for version control of docs.

Ah, that makes me feel better. I’ve probably heard of it before, and just never looked into it.

The implication of this being that I am behind the times, stuck on outdated tech, and didn’t even know it is uncomfortable.

I’m confused, what Democrat politicians or campaign staff coordinated removing those communities from Reddit? And why would Democrats even need to? Those communities broke sitewide rules egregiously and frequently. Considering how long they were allowed to keep going, it seems more likely (though I’m sure not the actual case) that Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Reddit admins to keep The_Donald open.

That’s pretty crazy. Do you have examples of Reddit admins directly working with Democrat campaigns or politicians to remove content? I don’t think Hunter Biden’s dick pics count, as revenge porn is already illegal.

Edit: For anyone confused as to how my reply relates to the above post, the above used to be a claim that Reddit worked with democrats to remove content, but is now edited to say something completely different.

I think you’ll be surprised at how much asbestos is still used worldwide, including in the US. We’re not using it as wall and ceiling insulation anymore, but it’s still used for things like pipes and vinyl floor tiles.

There’s not much to it. They simply believe that as the strife causes conflict over resources the factions will “naturally” align along racial lines. They also believe that people “naturally” cohabitate better within their own race.

This does require ignoring all of human history and the brutal conflicts that have occurred within racially homogenous regions. But I’d never accuse white supremacists of being intelligent or genuine.

It’s called Morgan’s Wonderland. The father’s company has also built a community center next to the park.

It’s populism. You have to see if someone’s policy positions are consistent over time, that they have a specific ideal they are following, vs what they think is the most popular policies.

Granted, it’s a huge pain with new politicians when they don’t have that history, but I think Tulsi had a pretty clear history that showed she wasn’t progressive.

I wouldn’t recommend this if you fly very frequently, but you can take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen at the start of the flight / part way though and it should be active around the time you start getting sore.

Yea, as a sort of reverse tax credit, it would be interesting. But as a profit driver, it’s nice and dystopian.

It’s called a “faithless elector” and what happens depends on the law of the state the elector is representing. Some states void the vote without penalty, some void it with some penalty, some allow the vote but with penalty, some allow the vote with no penalty, and some have no law at all (which seems like no difference from allowing with no penalty).

It’s entirely conceivable that enough faithless electors from states that do not void the vote could swing an election, though there’s never been enough to do so before.

In the 2004 Bard’s Tale game you keep running across kids who die thinking they are they chosen one.

And then trows (basically goblins) come out and sing an oompa loompa style song mocking the kids.

I’m still stuck on him suggesting a submachine gun for police use, especially having also criticized submachine guns as promoting inaccuracy.
