I don’t like them. They tend to be inaccurate for anything that contains information, such as might benefit from reading more than once, or pondered over before understanding. And if it’s meaningless, then why would I even care if I get interrupted midway through it?
I think you can get away with just about anything, so long as it doesn’t piss off anyone with a bigger navy than you own.
when you have to piss while shitting, do you stand up turn around and piss on your shit and then sit back down to finish shitting?
Clearing both lower ports from a sitting position isn’t a problem. The problem is when one feels simultaneous urges to defecate and vomit. I’m fortunate enough for this to be a rare occurrence personally, but I do keep a mop bucket within reach of the toilet.
Historically, it’s been alleged that some ‘celibate’ Catholic bishops fucked women. When the resulting bastard children grew up, they were rewarded with coveted Church appointments. If anyone noticed the apparent favoritism, they blamed the adultery on their brother, saying the appointee was a nephew (it: nipote) rather than the priest’s own illegitimate son. Thus the origin of the term nepotism.
Probably some of them had different tastes and realized that fucking boys leaves less evidence.
Not nationally, but because Maine uses both Instant runoff voting for presidential elections, and the Congressional district method of assigning electors, it’s mathematically possibly for Maine to split its electors 2-2. eg, the Republican wins both districts individually, while the Democrat wins statewide. Not this year though – needs a competitive 3-way race so the runoffs matter.
Phil Ochs says it better than I can:
In every American community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects, ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally.
The issues have changed slightly from the 1960s, but his song’s accusations of hypocrisy and NIMBYism among those who publicly espouse progressive causes still hit close enough to home.
It’s hard to predict this in advance, since it’s sensitive to things like voter turnout in non-competitive states. For instance, a blizzard in New England could affect the popular vote without impacting the electoral college vote. So I’ll just tell you how to calculate it.
First, identify the tipping point state. Some guys think it might be Michigan this year. Meaning either candidate can win by winning Michigan and every state more favorable to them than Michigan. Other good guesses are Pennsylvania and maybe Arizona. Then take the difference between a candidate’s margin in Michigan verses their national average.
2020: The tipping point state was Wisconsin. Biden won WI by 0.6% and nationally by 4.5% representing a 3.9% electoral college advantage to the Republican.
2012: The tipping point state was Colorado. Obama won CO by 5.4% and nationally by 3.9% representing a 1.5% electoral college advantage to the Democrat.
So the electoral college doesn’t intrinsically benefit the Republicans, but it probably will this year.
Becoming a victim of one also works.
Party affiliation as listed on voter registration isn’t a loyalty oath either. It’s just a way of asking which primaries you want to vote in. You might as well pick a party with relevant primaries in your area whether you agree with their platform or not.
(Voter registration is public information and may affect which candidates and PACs send you mail.)
They’re trying to capture the consumer surplus. Normally, a seller can have either high margins and low volume, or low margins and high volume. The retailers wet dream is to get the benefits of both. If the reward program profiles you as someone who buys coffee at $4.00, but not at $6.00, you’ll get coupons for coffee that the people who buy coffee every week regardless of price won’t get.
FWIW, I’ve found stores that don’t even have rewards cards frequently have lower prices than their competitors’ reward card sale prices.
I assumed the only reason we don’t already is because of the ethical issues with subjecting human women to the practices that make bovine milk economical.
Your #1 is the etymological meaning of the word. For precise usage, there should be at least some element of #2, lest you inadvertently misclassify a misanthrope who hates everybody. That’s assuming you’re using a gender-inclusive sense of the word ‘guy’; anyone can be a misogynist.
The candidate is running as a trans Democrat for District 84. The other case you’re referring to is for District 50 which the dems didn’t even contest in 2022.
If they played by the rules, they’d have both lost in a landslide and nobody would have noticed or cared. This news story is the best win they could have hoped for.
Because I didn’t notice that. Edited.
Yeah, I’m just proud of myself because I fixed my house like a big boy tonight. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of problems with my shitty house, but tonight I have a warm shitty house.
Some governments try to make their sales tax less regressive by exempting certain necessities from it.
For example, my state taxes groceries, but exempts gun safes.
There’s no technical reason why you couldn’t. It’s probably just some stupid marketing reason like:
