Woman told House Ethics panel she witnessed Gaetz having sex with minor, lawyer says
Oops, looks like this editor missed it too. It's spelled r-a-p-e. Easy mistake to make apparently.

Americans, what are your plans if Trump wins in 2024?
I already moved. It's not just Trump that's the problem, and even if he loses in 2024, or does in office, the issues still will persist. America needs to figure out how to make the judicial system work properly and norms need to be codified. Vast swaths of the population need to change their culture of "us vs them".
I won't be going back, the way things work with Republicans, you can't just move to a blue state, you have to move out of the country.

Imagine being in hospice and your birthday still has the power to shut down a major world government.
Jimmy is a good man. He deserves that honour.

Sexuality as a Topic and Other Feedback
Dads can have children of all ages, even adult children. I see dad jokes as something that produces a groan but also a chuckle, heavily reliant on puns and broken expectations, not something that is directed at little children, but maybe not raunchy for the sake of shock value. That would be an uncle joke.
I'm happy to see profanity, sex as a topic, etc included.
Thanks for re-evaluating your decision.

What are the most appropriate responses to some very uncomfortable and awkward questions?

My partner gave the reply "No, we're just practicing", the lady looked horrified. You asked about a near stranger's sex life, lady. I don't know what she expected.

Americans: Never, EVER question again how Hitler came to power in 1933 Germany
Reply in thread
While yes I'm sure it contributed, I think a lot of people voted because their rent and groceries were too expensive, so that means "vote for the party not in power". It makes zero sense, but I have to hope that they're just uninformed and desperate and not eager for what Trump and 2025 crew want.
Ultimately though, it's on them. It was their responsibility to know what they're voting for, and they failed. Now we can only hope they're too incompetent to do what they want.

Some of them are held prisoners by Nazis.. not everyone has the ability to flee unfortunately. There are levels of resistance but I can't fault absolutely everyone there for being beaten down at this point.

The people don't need to be taken seriously, the issue does. Arguing over semantics isn't helpful unless it's "Legislating against assault rifles won't do anything because that's not a thing. We need to ..." And the words after the ellipsis can't be "..do nothing."

This is the key that too many straight men who use words like "friend zone" and "game" and "incel" just don't realise.. don't go hunting for a bride like some caveman. Go make friends. Live your life by doing the things you like, treat women like women not like a prize to be won. Make male and female friends, don't just talk to women who you're attracted to. Find friends, and not with the anticipation that one of them will turn into a girlfriend. "Friend zoned" is what people say when they don't get that they're not owed a relationship, and think that being friends with women is a waste of time. Find friends. Be who you are, be genuine. That's the only way you'll find people who are genuinely interested in spending time with you and not some persona you've adopted. If you want an actual good match of a partner, it's more likely that a friend of yours will match you up with someone than you finding the one by going out like you're on the hunt.

But wouldn't you want the ones who would uproot their lives because Trump was elected? It's the ones who voted for him that you wouldn't want. If anything, Canada could use all the non-maga you can get.

The American Child Death Toll Is Mortifying
In my case, it happened when my son was just six months old and I learned that the supposedly “organic” baby food pouches that he was addicted to were, in fact, chock full of carcinogenic heavy metals that have been linked to numerous neurological disorders, including autism.
... I'm immediately more skeptical of this.
Found the link to the study in the article for those who wanna go to the source: https://cdn.wildapricot.com/220571/resources/Documents/Jama_Child%20Mortality.Forrest_2025_oi_250043_1751296932.04615.pdf not sure if it supports the premise yet.
