Trump's rhetoric is increasingly mirroring Nazi talking points, and nobody is paying attention, an expert on extremism warns
By "nobody is paying attention" do they mean it's been plastered all over the news?

Key witness declines to testify at Biden impeachment inquiry hearing
So.. Biden's son used "do you know who my daddy is?" To try and further his business, the president never had any role in the business, and that's enough for Republicans to m impeach him?
Where were they when Trump kept using his businesses, still owned by him, to directly make money while he was president?

Women STEM students up to twice as likely as non-STEM students to have experienced sexism
The undergrad boys in STEM I swear have never met a woman aside from their mothers. No, please don't follow me home. Please don't buy me food because I was next to you in line. Please don't follow me into a store so you can buy me anything I'm purchasing. You are not invited into my conversation because you think I'm pretty, even if you just want to interrupt to tell me I'm pretty and you want to take me on a date. You are not allowed to hug me and hold me as long as you want just because you want to and it feels good for you, I didn't want a hug and I didn't know you. It isn't cute for you to take things from me and play keep away because you are stronger and taller, it makes you a bully.
Teachers: please don't ignore me when I try and participate or ask a question. I've gotten Cs with no explanation, no marks aside from the grade itself. When I check other's work, theirs is written up with mistakes and they have a higher grade. Honestly that was just one teacher in an undergrad, the rest were pretty awesome, or at least not sexist.

The Political Divide Between Men and Women Is Getting Wild. One Party Is Primed to Take Advantage.
As a relatively young woman, I like being treated as an equal in a partnership, rather than as a utility in a relationship. I'd rather be alone than a grown adult's nanny. This is a wild idea to many young men who have trouble respecting women, but insist they are the most respectful to women because they hold the door open sometimes.

I see this every couple years (I think it's the same). The fungus can only degrade very few plastic types, like Styrofoam.

Frustrated Democrats near their Tea Party moment: 'This is not okay'
"Activists and strategists argue Democrats must shift from defending institutions to telling human-centered stories that resonate emotionally."
No, they need to actually defend institutions instead of just saying they are working on organizing themselves enough to start trying to defend institutions. We don't want stories we want actions.

You can’t even pay people to have more kids
Reply in thread
Not to mention better healthcare! Healthcare costs are the primary reason US citizens go bankrupt. Kids get sick, adults get sick, and if one of the adults in the house gets sick and can't help bring in money for the kids then the entire household essentially goes from upper/middle to lower or bankrupt. If a kid gets very sick, oftentimes one of the parents has to stop working to argue every single claim that insurance would be paying but doesn't, and call every department of every doctors office or hospital to get an itemized bill and get it lowered to a reasonable cost rather than them asking for a blank check. I'm afraid of having a sick kid and losing my job to their healthcare organization (note: not their healthcare directly, but calling insurance asking them to pay for life saving care, then calling hospitals asking why a small bandage is $1200), losing my house to bankruptcy after healthcare costs, and losing any semblance of future career due to time off and losing myself.

Israel put people in jail for crimes which were illegal. Hammas kidnapped random people, many from a dance club.

I just searched local restaurants near me and tried to sort by distance and the first option was 800 miles away, the second was 600 miles away. It's not just Google search getting worse.

How does a SO feel different from a very good friend?
A good friend (platonic relationship) is someone I can see every day, talk to about anything, and I want them in my life regularly. I personally cannot spend 100% all my time with someone who is just a good friend.
A romantic relationship is a good friend who I can live with and want to share a blanket and cuddle with at the end of the day. It's someone I might want to hold hands with, kiss, or sleep with. It's someone I want to come home to at the end of a good day to share good news, or end of a bad day to make it better.
A sexual relationship is someone I want to kiss and have sex with.
There are overlap. Romantic friends and friends with benefits are pretty common terms. Having a romantic relationship with sexual interest often ends up in bad relationships; I've heard this described as "feels like it should work" or "I loved them but I didn't like them."

You have sudden onset chest pains and lethargy? Well I see your boobs are nicely sized but the rest of you could lose weight, I prescribe you with diet and exercise and diagnose you with anxiety because you thought you needed to come in. I can prescribe you both control if you continue to be anxious.

How long will food be safe to eat if frozen immediately after cooking it?
Unless it defrosted and refroze multiple times it should be fine to eat.
It might have freezer burn, which means the water content went to the outside of the food, so the inside could be dry and the outside could be wet. I would say for beans and rice, just mix it up.

A Texas school's punishment of a Black student who wears his hair in locs is going to trial
Being an American requires respect of others, originally different religions, and now encompass race. Who still cares about hair style as long as it isn't whipping in someone else's face.

The Washington Post is very worried that American women don't want to marry Trump supporters
Reply in thread
Not just per household. I know one who shit talks previous women he kept sleeping with, knowing they wanted kids when he didn't, because the women kept the kids. I learned he was a Trump supporter because we talked about abortion when federal rights were removed. He had many opinions that don't make sense individually, but upon my promoting he admitted he wanted control and men should have the full right to decide what happens to a women's body, either the dad or the man who she is currently sleeping with, those two can determine what happens to her, but women should have no autonomy. He isn't the smartest and I'm sure was repeating what others have told him, but the entitlement is intense.
