The best litmus test for if someone is ableist wrt neurodivergent people is how they talk about furries. No joke. If you dont at least respect furries, I cant take you seriously as a comrade that wants liberation for everybody.
Go boomer about it and call or email admissions. Seriously, it's worked for me in situations I thought it was all computer automated.
Fresh sheets, fresh smooth legs~

Promoting to anything other than a queen is suboptimal for almost every situation but sometimes you gotta do it. This is a game where the one side promoted to a knight. You can find ones where promotion to a bishop was the best move but it's rare.
This is gonna be a weird stat, but there will soon be more people who have recovered from covid in India than there have been in the US. The US will likely still remain highest in deaths and cases (although one never knows) regardless.
28,576,502 recovered in the US, 28,380,634 recovered in India. Difference of about 200K, so check again by the end of the week if you want to find out yourself. 34 million cases in the US, 30 million in India. 620K dead in the US, 380K dead in India so far.
You just got the best training of your life and all it cost was some pride. Keep shop lifting.
How dare you insult the brave veterans of Kháng chiến chống Mỹ lol
Actual cop interrogation technique is be nice - modern interrogation is just good cop/good cop. People sign confessions for shit they never did. They just be nice and sympathetic and try to get you to incriminate yourself. Know your rights, stay silent and also explicitely say you're asserting your right to silence (it can count as incriminating yourself unless you explicitly say you're asserting your right to not incriminate yourself and be silent) and demand a lawyer. Don't say nothing else but ask for a lawyer, identify yourself, assert your right to silence, and keep that flame of hatred alive for cops the entire time.

I don't know why he has to be shirtless, I don't know why he has to yell, but if that works and makes my butt and back feel better - hell fuckin yeah sign me up.
The people doing the writing and the people doing the beekeeping probably didn't talk much, lol. You ever read some of the medieval travel guides? Apparently these guys lived in Ethiopia and Asia.
Although, there were monks and monastaries that made mead from fermented honey so maybe there are some written accounts that have a more empirical first-hand knowledge basis.
"Animals and plants come into being in earth and in liquid because there is water in earth, and air in water, and in all air is vital heat so that in a sense all things are full of soul. Therefore living things form quickly whenever this air and vital heat are enclosed in anything. When they are so enclosed, the corporeal liquids being heated, there arises as it were a frothy bubble." Aristotle.
Aristotle said some animals just get spontaneously generated so nobody else questioned it until the Rennaisance and Redi proved flies don't just form spontaneously from rotten meat. I can get some people thinking stuff just spontaneously generated, like, trees growing don't actually absorb much soil from seedling to tree (most of the tree is made from CO2) so I guess they figured it just made sense.
Calling bees birds makes as much sense as calling hagfish fish and also calling salmon fish.
Your reminder that US carriers are sitting targets for drones and cruise missiles and, to put it bluntly, floating coffins. This has been an acknowledged problem for decades (Radio War Nerd wrote a lot about carrier shortcomings for a while now) and the US has done nothing about it. China has been developing cruise missiles and drones meanwhile the PLAN will probably reach parity with the US pacific fleet by the end of the decade - parity in tonnage and personnel, mind.
The US navy will be unable to do much of anything in the pacific - not to say that incredible damage can't be inflected on China and surrounding nations in some half-cocked action of a dying empire - they just wouldn't be able to accomplish the mission of blockading Taiwain from the mainland or defeating the PLAN and the US will be in a military situation without air superiority because of it (something they've become unused to). If the US decided to go to war with China, it'd be like Russia losing to Japan in 1905 and could probably shock a bunch of libs out of being spellbound by supposed US invincibility. Maybe even radicalize them, who knows, no 1917 without 1905 really.
Generational Psych Hot Take: It's just weird Gen X neurosis, they were living through the End of History (tm) in the 90s and very early 00s so they didn't have anything better to worry about, lol. What movies or tv shows is it big in? American Pie I think, 70s show for sure, Friends, Buffy. The thing where you aren't supposed to say I love you is SUPER anglo.
Yeah it feels like it relies too heavily on the college crowd. IWW should be one of the first places you go when you're pissed at your boss at work for fucking you over by scheduling you to clopen 3 days a week and still keeping you at 30 hours and took off your pandemic hero pay. Too many IWW chapters don't seem to do much of anything.
You'll be right like 99.99% of the time. Sometimes people underpromote so they avoid stalemating the opponent instead of win but itll probably never come up in your games.
