I’m glad this was the ruling. But will it stand up to appeal? In the 80s federal funding for highways was withheld unless the state complied with the new minimum age for drinking alcohol.

Edit: it was only 10% of the allocated funds, so maybe there is a chance

Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc

Do you mean styling baby hairs?

I have a hard time believing they didn’t know of and weren’t complicit in the attack on Iran. They just diverted an arms shipment from Ukraine to Israel that specifically are claimed to counter Iranian drones

Edit: I saw it was to Israel on the BBC I think, but this article says otherwise

My cats are fed in separate rooms for the same reason. I put a little collar activated flap on one door so the picky one could eat without my youngin sniping her food. He’s still trying to figure out how to get in that room, I’m a little surprised he hasn’t tried to brute force it yet lol

High pH is basic btw. I’m assuming you meant low pH with the reference to soda

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off

Maybe you can use a reloadable visa card?

They shouldn’t be allowed to use less than lethal rounds. I’d prefer no armed police, but the less than lethal aspect especially makes them emboldened to shoot without any consideration. What goes through someone’s head when they shoot a person who made the mistake of falling down? “easy target”?

That woman might be lucky if she survives, and without brain damage, and it really turns my stomach that they didn’t have the decency to call for an ambulance

That is something my mother said to me a lot. Along with, “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it”. It’s fucked up, because it’s not like anyone chooses to be born. These are not normal things for a parent to say by any means. It’s emotional abuse.

You deserve better than that! It’s not easy cutting ties with family, but life is a lot easier when you’re not dealing with such a toxic, resentful human in your life.

They’re not extremely similar to MSI, but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the band)

There’s an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It’s not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start
