To be fair, I don’t really think of NPR or PBS as print media, so I don’t really seek out their websites, unless I want to listen to the radio while away from an actual radio.

I used to work in long-tailed litigated liability insurance claims. Think asbestos, lead paint, toxic exposures, etc. Insurance comes into play for defending companies against lawsuits made by people suffering from those exposures. I rationalized it to myself for a year and a half (if we don’t pay for the company’s defense attorneys, we couldn’t pay the claimants their settlements; we’re just following the contract; at this point, the big players are bankrupt, so the claimants are just going after easy targets; etc.), but it makes the world worse and I eventually quit.

I looked at other aspects of the industry, but there really wasn’t a role that I could feel totally comfortable with. At best, I felt like I I worked for the organization which gave earth “adequate notice” for the hyperspace bypass in hitchhikers guide.

I went back to school and now I teach new immigrants the local language. It took a lot of work and I make less money, but holy shit was it worth it.

I like to say it to people when they excuse themselves to the bathroom.

If they do a double take, I’ll add “not too much, though.”

Both from good omens, I think

He should just use “safe spaces.” Much clearer and surely he’d get the full support of everyone who supports this

Because of the storage issues, greens generally have a much longer growing season.

I just mean that you should look up the plants now in case you aren’t able to get the berries regularly. Tomatoes have some vitamin C, but peppers have a whole bunch.

I just looked out of curiosity and I get it, tbh, though you should probably have been given more notice before a temp ban, not a permaban off the bat. You seem to me like you don’t want to follow the rule regarding religion. I’m not trying to start shit, but it’s not a very pleasant set of interactions that follow, and that’s probably not what the mods are looking for.

I don’t even believe in free will, I can’t talk shit to anyone

The director

You can get vitamin C from a bunch of plants. Look for commonly foraged greens in your area and chances are you can find something with some vitamin c.

I’m assuming the poster is Christian, tbf. If they’re just a very demonstrative Zoroastrian, then it’s not the same god (mostly. That’s a little debatable, but I’m not informed enough to debate it).

But the god of Abraham is the god of Abraham. If there’s a debate there, you’ll have to explain it to me.

Edit: I saw your edit, nvm!

They might, but it happens a lot, so it would be a big change. Countries that don’t allow dual citizenship tend to have a lot of former citizens visit, because anyone who marries someone from another country and lives with them there will have an easier time of things if they become a citizen of their new country, but they still have family back home to take care of (and the CCP is invested in keeping former citizens attached to their families, so they can use them as leverage).

Totally irrelevant, but something about her posture/clothing looks so physically uncomfortable to me and I can’t put my finger on it.

That doesn’t mean that Chinese citizens cannot become citizens of other countries, just that they can’t do that and retain their Chinese citizenship. It’s also legal for former Chinese citizens to visit China, you’re not exiled or anything when you give up your citizenship.

It’s even the same god

Yes, but most large food companies aim for consistency far above and beyond legal requirements to foster brand recognition. That’s why commercially made and canned soups without them exist, they’re just not nearly as widespread.

There’s a restaurant in my town that serves totally different dishes in house, but they also have a vending machine that sells canned jars of soups, curries, and stews; and you can find them in some of the local grocery stores. The ingredients are basically the same as the ones I’d use at home (though probably with a lot more salt and fat), and they’re perfectly safe and legal to sell.

This is a screenshot dated 2013, but it could also be a copy of an older screenshot. I would normally crop it, but I also feel weirdly nostalgic about the old UI.

Regarding the first point, this is what he said, emphasis mine:

I want to be clear on where I stand. I believe both Nicolas Maduro and Miguel Diaz-Canel are dictators. Their administrations have stifled free and fair elections, jailed political opponents, and suppressed the free and fair press. And yet, our federal government’s long history of punitive policies toward both countries, including extrajudicial killings of Venezuelans and the continuation of a decades long blockade of Cuba, have only worsened these conditions. Democratic socialism is about dignity, justice and accountability. And above all, it’s about building a democracy that works for working people, not one that preys on them."

It feels misleading to call someone’s statement denouncing the blockade as an effective endorsement of it. Did I miss him saying something else?

That’ll need to be Luigi 2036, because he’d still be 34 on inauguration day 2032.

Though I mean, I can imagine the laws changing quite significantly in the next few years, so who knows.

Tbh, I would actively authorize this for my next of kin if they wanted for a private pension. Doing it for public funds is fucked though. I would also stipulate that they be safe with the biohazard that is my corpse, because just keeping it in a bag in the living room is stomach turning.
