Holy shit! Look at the apparel website.

It’s like toxic masculinity and bigotry opened a design firm.

There’s also “if there’s grass on the field, play ball”

In the 45-second video posted later that day, one girl enters the classroom holding a cellphone. “Put your hands up,” she says, while a classmate flickers the lights on and off. As the camera pans across the classroom, several girls dramatically fall back on a desk or the floor and lie motionless, pretending they were killed.

When another student enters and surveys the bodies on the ground in poorly feigned shock, few manage to suppress their giggles. Throughout the video, which ProPublica obtained, a line of text reads: “To be continued……”

Talk about an overreaction.

When I was a kid in the 90s I used to run around our neighborhood with other kids playing “War”. I had a realistic looking cap gun western revolver made out of pot metal, much like this one.

We never had police called on us or even got stopped by them on the rare occasion they were cruising through.

I must be ugly as sin. My wife and I have been married almost five years and I have yet to be in a situation where a woman is pursuing me and I can shout, “I don’t know you! You’re not my wife!” and run away.

AC not mandated in Texas

AC not mandated in LA, though that might change

In general, it’s a safe bet to just assume it’s not mandated and if it is or going to be there’s probably a landlord who opposes it.

I wouldn’t recommend against people watching it, but I would caution them because it’s a big time commitment for the ending you get.

I take your point about the influence media has but this is not unique to America.

Child marriage is a truly global issue that cuts across countries, cultures, religions and ethnicities.

Child marriages have historically been common and continue to be widespread, particularly in developing nations in Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. However, developed nations also face a lack of protections for children. In the United States, for instance, child marriage is still legal in 37 states.

Predation on underage girls and boys is global. Paedophiles don’t restrict themselves to national borders.

It's a slogan used as a protest statement, particularly within anti-establishment and anti-police movements. The acronym has a long history, particularly within subcultures like punk, skinheads, and football hooligans. It's also associated with anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideologies.

It also originated in England.

the law allows for the carrying of a knife for a reasonable legitimate purpose

My opinion, not from the UK so it’s worth little, is that this is all that should be needed.

“What’s that? What’s it for?” … “Ok, we got a call from a concerned citizen who thought it was a knife. Have a good day!”

Maybe they could throw in a polite, friendly suggestion that they use a bag to transport their tools but its not like it’s required, if I’m understanding correctly.

Agreed. At first blush it reads more like that “Find a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life” kind of sentiment.

Fluid dynamics.

As the urine travels down your urethra it is under almost equal pressure from all sides. As the liquid escapes it loses contact with the vessel.

Through a process called adhesion the water in your product will experience a drag effect as the contact with the waste channel is extinguished. This drag is greatest in areas that contain the most perturbation.

The shape of the orifice that produces the stream produces the vast majority of the perturbative influence.

In this case the opening is a slit which produces semi-toroidal flows in the medium at the polar vertices.

Combine these forces (The sudden loss of pressure, the semi-toroidal flows, and adhesion) and the net effect is a torsion force on the stream.

The torsion force impels the fluid to twist and cohesion (water molecules are kind of like tiny magnets and really want to stick together) keeps the stream together.

There you have it. Why your urine spirals instead of just flowing out like a garden hose.

The spongy urethra runs along the length of the penis on its ventral (underneath) surface.... This produces a spiral stream of urine and has the effect of cleaning the external urethral meatus. The lack of an equivalent mechanism in the female urethra partly explains why urinary tract infections occur so much more frequently in females.

All feelings are valid. The issues come from how some express or act on those feeling.

We really didn’t. Though those expressions, while still wrong, come across a lot different from a 13 year old than they do from a 50 year old man. 🤮

Many of us are in the habit of mentally calculating it wherever we live though.

For example, my state sales tax is 6.88%, my county has a .25% tax on top of that, and then there’s a metro area tax of 1% on top of that, my city does not impose a separate tax of their own, so total sales tax in my city is 8.13%.

When shopping we’ll do the mental math (roughly) and factor that in so it might say $39.99 + tax but I know that it’ll be a little under $44 with tax.

It’s inconvenient but, like most things, we get used to it and adapt. Also, while tax varies a lot by state, most of us don’t venture too far out of our home area so tax is roughly the same all the places we regularly go.

It would be nice to have the price listed as the price you pay but it doesn’t work as well with our current system.

That’d quickly become a game of whac-a-mole.

Generally speaking you and @[email protected] are both right.

There are people who have issues tied to excessive porn consumption but there is not consensus about it being an addiction. Some experts argue that it’s a compulsion rather than an addiction.

Isn’t it interesting in how “officer discretion” disappears in instances like these?
