Well there is such a thing as taking the constitution as being an infallible document as and when it was written, never mind that society maybe sorta kinda changed in the ensuing 2.5 centuries and possibly needs the jurisprudence to change with it.

Which is mind-boggling to me personally, but I don’t have a law degree so what do I know.

That makes sense I suppose. If you think of spell making the water surface impermeable to you, being underneath it at the time would be suicide, unless you also could breathe underwater.

Are Argonians a playing race in Morrowind, and if so, would you happen to know if the same thing would occur? For some reason I need what is probably a coding quirk to work with the world lore.

I think part of the issue at least from the religious side is that the more preachy flavours seem to think it’s their job to “save” others according to their particular brand of Truthtm, so they’ll go out of their way to make a nuisance (or worse!) of themselves in order to achieve that particular goal, as though there’s a tally waiting for them at the end with someone carrying a clipboard expecting them to have met some kind of savior quota.

Yeah there is no political pressure because I’m pretty sure to remove a Justice without them being dead or resigning you need a senate supermajority, of which you are vanishingly unlikely to ever see.

Read an article about an LGBT author of gay young adult novels having a visit to a Catholic school cancelled and the fallout from that between the local clergy and the school staff.

Decided to look up the author and his “highly sexualized take on the Lord’s Prayer” and read a ridiculously biased article from a religious POV citing various psychologists without longing out that these psychologists are anti-LGBT, ironically misinterpreting a tweet from the author in an article about the author allegedly gaslighting his novels as having no LGBT content (he was referring to something else in the tweet), and the single comment in the article written by what appeared to be a reasonably intelligent person insisting that homosexuality is fake because scientists haven’t found a gay gene, school children quizzes on their homosexuality have different answers when asked later, (though for some reason didn’t seem to consider that in terms of heterosexuality at the same time) and that acting on homosexual desires is a sin, though that one is fairly big standard religious fair.

Then I looked up the psychologists mentioned in the article and I’m sad either because these cunts are using the ever-present moral panic about sexualizing children to gain some notoriety in their field, or they actually believe that it’s happening in every facet of the various media that kids consume on the reg and are crusading against the slightest hint of kids coming into contact with anything to do with sex, even if it’s to teach them about it and things like consent and shit.

TL;DR clever people can be the most fucking stupid when it comes to moral crusading, and give a veneer of respectability to properly cunty positions on things like LGBT rights and education.

They’ll just go back to women being property of their fathers until they get married and become property of their husband.

Is that B&R saving the world by getting people on the wacky backy, or are they trying to prevent that?

What baffles me most about this nazi thing is how vaguely the accusation is formulated. How exactly is Ukraine supposedly "nazi"? In the sense of a nationalistic / socialistic political party? In the sense of antisemitism? In the sense of expansionism? Dictatorship? Of course none of these particular aspects apply.. but I love how the Kremlin doesn't even bother to be specific with such a grave accusation.

In the sense that 80 years ago Russia lost millions of people to them and a resurgence of such is something to fight valiantly against.

It doesn’t matter that absolutely nothing of the current Ukrainian says isn’t Nazi, it matters that it’s an easier pill to swallow than “yeah we just want Crimea and easier access to it” or “the bread basket of the world should work for Russia!” or anything like that.

It is irony of the highest order that another justification for it is that Ukrainian culture and people don’t exist, they’re really Russian and Putin’s just bringing them back under the Russian wing, a la Nazi conquests of the ‘30s.

Entirely unintentional, I have had like, 3 hours sleep after weeks of varying degrees of not 8 hours sleep.

The impact is smaller because it’s further away, see?

Wing dings, obviously

That’s not wing dings! Horribly limited, apparently.

Times new Roman, possibly

Calibri

cambria

trebuchet

impact

verdana

georgia

andala mono

These all look the same. verdana seems to be it.

Nicolas Cage is a good actor in whatever he does. He might do weird shit, but he does weird shit good.

I was apparently part of a security team for a child actor in a hotel, and was having significant disagreements with the rest of the team on the threats to our charge, which ended with me going rogue and trying to steal a phone from a guard that was a horrible dancer.

Then Jose Mourinho was water boarding Louis van Gaal on a pre-season training camp for Manchester United.

Finally unlocked ascension 1 with the Watcher, using a stance changing build with many empty fists, empty bodies, rushdown, mental fortress, and tantrum playing major roles, with a little bit of deva form thrown in because I was lucky enough not to go up against the bloody Time Eater as the third boss.

To illustrate how long this has taken, I got the 5th and final content unlock for the Watcher after this run ended.

Why is the first thing you apparently do when you hear an explosion as an official to draft a social media post?

Because it's the fastest way to reach people, versus an official press release or state media?

As opposed to figuring out what the explosions were caused by and what the response should be? :p
