No! How dare she accurately describe the problem with American democracy!!

I’m sorry but I disagree.

The last thing we want is for these states to accidentally reproduce.

I tend to think of it like a personal trainer, “push, you got this, one more rep”. More positive and gender neutral.

Classic Kbin moment: The thumbnail is a photo of two kiwi birds from another post. I choose to believe these birds are also Trump’s lawyers.

I think that’s why framing the debate is so important.

1. This isn’t magically closing the border, this is just adding a new punishment for a small subset of people who cross illegally. Whether or not it will be effective is very debatable (if barbed wire doesn’t…)
2. We should be talking more about the backlog in asylum cases, why aren’t we providing adequate funding for the courts to do their job.
3. Why do we make asylum seekers wait so long to seek asylum and get authorization to work, how does this do anything but place a burden on support systems?

And so on. This isn’t about stopping immigration, it’s about punishing those who do. [Too] Many will still support that, but it’s a harder stance to take.

I won’t rehash my opinions, they already been better said here, but I want to add I hate the phrase “close the border”. What the fuck does that mean, was it open, did the last one in forget to close the door?

From the article, he is considering taking action “to restrict migrants’ ability to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border if they crossed illegally” which has a lot more nuance and is important to the discussion. So this will specifically affect people who have a legitimate claim to asylum, the border was never “open” to any migrants without it (or a visa).

Dance. Started dancing (taking classes) at 350lbs 4 ½ months ago, still going now at 295lbs. Everything is sooo much easier. First exercise I really liked, improves my flexibility, strength, and cardio. And I feel mad sexy doing it.

Your mileage may vary, but have you tried over the phone instead of video chat (if it’s an option where you live)? I felt exactly the same about video, but something about over the phone felt chill, I could just “chat with a friend” in my pajamas. Helped me a lot and neither my therapist or I ever actually saw each other.

No. 1: I didn’t read it — and I won’t. No. 2: All you got to do is look at the author. The author is from Communist China. What more do you need to know?

(emphasis mine)

What a gigantic, ignorant, piece of shit.

Wow, the Lord’s truth right here. I never saw it that way, but it absolutely explains why the last company I left put me through 4 reorgs in 3 years. So many middle managers with nothing better to do while an increasingly smaller handful of people kept the place from burning down.

All the story based games:
TT The Walking Dead most, but Firewatch and Life is Strange in a close second/third. So many feels I wish I could relive.

Wife and I have since established the crotch blanket ™. It’s really just a flat sheet, but we each have our own and take them even when we travel. Keeps your legs and bits from sticking in the heat, and crumpled correctly it supports your knees while you sleep.

Not that weird as an idea, but wish we would have settled on something better than “crotch blanket”.

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your wooden cart insurance…”

I’ll disagree with both of you. They both suck pretty hard, but equally. The non-apology at least acknowledges a wrong, but often flips the blame (I’m sorry if YOU feel that way). Whereas no apology leaves you wondering if they even know they did wrong.

I’m not one to defend Singapore much, but owning a car there is a very unnecessary luxury, so this is a pretty unfair reason to dislike Singapore (I can give you some better ones if you’d like).

Honestly in other big cities (NYC, London) most people would benefit from a COE scheme keeping car traffic under control.

no thanks I hate saving money, and myself, and I kick puppies.

Im at a stage where I am more than happy to pay for really good shows. It really isn’t about price, just value. It’s just been ages since NF made anything stellar.

They said about The OA (I loved season 1)…

Neflix describes The OA as “a big creative swing we were proud to take,” but says that when it comes to deciding what to renew and what to cancel, “viewing versus cost” is always what it takes into account.

This philosophy means we get loads of average crap. They aren’t a regular network, why the hell are they acting like it.

I’ve said before, because it’s linked with delivery, Prime seems to be the only service willing to take risks, and they make some great stuff because of it. HBO seems to be a distant second.

Ah yes, because derivative reality shows and bottom-of-the-barrel adult cartoons are so expensive to produce.

What the hell happened, you used to be good.

Just cancelled, haven’t touched NF since I subbed to HBO (and even that is getting cancelled next month). Maybe its time to try Hulu.
