Laying the groundwork for post election
Maybe this is normal, but I just learned last week that in Washington, if a candidate has lost the open primary they cannot be a write in candidate.
Greek autopsia “a seeing with one’s own eyes,”
So I guess it works regardless of species. Though I’m not sure I believe this. Like how else did ancient Greeks see?
This was Catholicism. He’s a smart guy and I’m pretty sure he figured it out. Did not become a priest, though, so maybe his mom was right.
My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I’m not saying it makes sense.
True, though, bushtits are ferocious.
I saw a local one advertised on nextdoor and I went to the site because there are rules for advertisers on that app and I wanted to complain. It is exactly as I’d heard-- telling people there’s no reason to be seen quickly and will not be given appointment within two weeks, calling themselves a clinic but no statement of any medical service. But they said so little about what they actually do that I couldn’t find any good grounds for complaint to the app as also the app’s own content categories, “health” or something, was too vague to be considered misleading. I complained anyway that they were promoting pseudo medicine and political activity, but didn’t get a reply.
The fact is human lives are being culled right now and will be increasingly over the next decades by the rapid changes coming to the environment and the scarcity fears, looting, and displacement that follows. Even if you choose to ignore the deaths that aren’t in the West, as if they aren’t related to your current quality of life, soon enough you will start to see the destruction right in front of you.
What activists are saying is that a lot of this death can be avoided if those in power, corporately and governmentally, are willing to do more than is legally or traditionally required of them. This takes more willpower than the average politician or CEO can muster on their own and this is where activists work to put pressure on one side of the equation and the enthusiasm of the people on the other to drive the radical decisions that are needed to confront the crisis.
This is the truth. Not even a full grown person, not even your just-born child, no one can compel you to give your blood to save their life much less to keep them alive inside your own body for nine months.
If they think a fetus has the same right to life as any person, they are free to help it survive using their own resources, just get it the fuck out of my body first.
Yeah, I hadn’t heard of it, but it looks really cool. Gonna have to try that out.
I can’t deny they’ve done a good job of reaching out to traditional Republicans. You can call them liars all you want and I agree but what matters is who was on stage. Maga isn’t worried and the suburban “I’m not racists” think there is a moral center to the party.
I use osmand on Android. Bit of a leaning curve to start as you need to download the maps you want and set up features, but then it is available offline as well and can include topographical and trails or other data if you’re not just traveling in cities.
The other complication is that the second map is so potato you can’t see what color the smaller dots are and I think it gives overall a bluer impression than it would at higher quality.
They want money to build sea defenses to protect their cliffside homes from landslides, which is so far reserved for more high-value areas. I’m sympathetic, but this
“But there’s no way anybody could have anticipated these losses 15, even 10 years ago.” is something we’re never going to stop hearing, because we’ve already been hearing it for 10-15 years. Consider this messy alternative that started in 2005.
People will always choose to defend, and continue to build and improve and invest right up to the end, making the eventual damage more costly and chaotic. Something that happens once here and there, maybe we can get away with that, but if the whole coast is going to sink at once, we have to be more responsible or we simply won’t be able to afford the consequences.
The quote/decision from the organization is a year old and presumably what the vote was hoping to overturn. The article confuses by telling the story backward.
The way they are so evenly situated, I think they are just putting a population-proportioned dot in the center of each county. In meant states, counties are pretty much equal sized squares with varying amounts of people in them.
They are probably coloring whole counties, where the second map just makes a dot for each country proportional to population.
Does it still count if there’s nothing left to shoot?
This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including
