I guess it’s good they acknowledge the need for an exception to the law, but even in the case I described it sounds like the person in danger would be waiting even longer to have their case reviewed. That said, I don’t know how long the process normally takes anyway, or if a name change is a viable protection from domestic violence.
Fuck this bullshit. And as usual, anti-trans laws don’t just hurt trans people. Anyone changing their name to escape abuse or domestic violence would have to broadcast their new information to the public.
Does India have a higher rate of violent sex crimes compared with other countries, or have I been propagandized? I don’t want to be the guy who says, “WTF is happening over there?” so I’m curious if something is, indeed, “happening over there.”
Was I not supposed to roll joints with this stuff when I was 18?
If the shooter was black they would have sent the SWAT team within an hour. I can’t believe the chief was saying this shit out loud. “We knocked on the door, he didn’t answer, there was nothing we could do.”
This story is bananas. After Moturi was shot, it wasn’t until he went to the press that the police made an effort to arrest the shooter. Here’s MPD chief’s unhinged response to the criticism.
As a young photographer, he was a hometown hero for me. Rest in peace.
Either he’s never heard of John Chau or he’s trying to become the next John Chau.
It’s so funny when they think Biden has a cult of rabid supporters.
A country doesn’t enforce tarriffs on other countries… unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean.
And who would I be buying it from?
Is that how you think this works? Nobody gets to choose where they’re born, and people tend to stay close to their families or other support systems, and their jobs. They might have partners or kids who are similarly invested in the area. Not so easy.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not disagreeing with your general point that right-wing terrorism is ignored by the media. Just wanted to clarify that you said “every one of them had a manifesto” but the Vegas shooter did not. That said, a lot of the details of his life are things I associate with right-wingers: worked for Lockheed, owned rental properties, 2nd amendment, lots of cruises. Like you said, I would describe his motive as “disdain for other people/society” but for some reason that’s not considered terrorism.
FWIW, the Vegas shooter did not have a manifesto and I don’t remember seeing any evidence that he was a white nationalist.
You’re getting downvoted and I’m soon to follow, but everything you said is reasonable and it’s almost never wrong to ask for evidence. I continue to be surprised at how tightly this community clings to the narrative that non-voters alone decided the election.
My oldest sister got [what she believes to be] COVID in Feb 2020. She’s been on disability since then, and while she’s not cognitively impaired, she can’t walk around for more than 60 seconds before having to lay down again.
I’m really proud of everyone for not making the tired “835 kilograms! What would someone do with 750 kilograms?” joke. It’s just the worst.
What you’re saying is true in fact, but I feel like you’re letting the price gougers off the hook a little. Eggs are popular because they’re versatile, nutritionally dense and traditionally cheap. Eggs are almost the best breakfast kids can have before school because they help with focus and keep them full. There really isn’t a replacement at the same price point. I don’t think we should expect them to be so cheap that we rely on animal cruelty, but they shouldn’t be a luxury item either.
EDIT: to clarify, it’s the protein and fat that help with focus and fullness, not eggs specifically.
This one really hurts to think about. What an evil act. She deserves to be alive, the officer(s?) deserve to be in prison forever, and whatever payout the family receives should come from the department’s pension fund.
What’s your problem? If you had a financial windfall that meant you could retire, are you saying you wouldn’t?
