As someone who did, I understand the sentiment but it isn't that easy. I have so many friends and family members who are stuck there because they can't save enough resources to leave.

DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated, not Driving While Impaired. The restriction in the law is against "intoxicating liquor, cannabis, or any drug".

A heart attack is not liquor, cannabis or a drug, therefore, it is not reasonable to charge this woman with a DWI.

We should refer to him as a convicted rapist all the time.

No matter what you try to call it - it's Russian propaganda. Ignore it. Move on.

lmao, no.

It was specifically written after the civil war so that the South could still technically have slavery, they just have to criminalize and convict a person first. It's how we get the 'war on drugs' where even though black and white populations smoke around the same amount, black populations were criminalized FAR harsher, and sent to prison far more often. It's exactly "Rules for thee, but not for me" on a grand scale where white people would likely 'get a pass' for their first arrest. That grace was not extended to black populations, and so we're back at having slavery with extra steps.

It's a nice thought that it just happened over time by accident, but in reality it was planned like this.

Honestly, the worst part is going to a doctor who you can tell is mildly religious and they start asking questions about why you think you feel anxiety and depression.

The trauma response to lie and hide is so strong, it takes SO MUCH effort to just be honest that it was your religious upbringing... and the second you do, they act like you're personally attacking them. I've had doctors/nurses go from being warm and kind to suddenly going cold because I had the audacity to say that their religion is the cause of my trauma. You just have to keep looking for a new doctor until someone gets it.

I beat the first 3 chapters last night, and it was a lot of fun! They have to do updated versions of old training puzzles that were pretty easy, but the environment, level design and overall production value feel like an paid DLC, not just a fan-made map.

Definitely recommend for anyone who loved Portal 2.

So we have proof that sex has been more complicated than just XX or XY chromosomes since before Jesus existed. That's pretty neat.

So, openly admitting it was "quid pro quo". Cool.

So, you objectify women, but you're gay, but you have sex with women, but aren't sexual with them, but find them extremely attractive, but..

What is the point here?

From what I understand - the first action the bad actors are taking are releasing the family trees to "out" anyone with Jewish relatives.

So, just hate crimes to start.

Because rules are how society works. If both parties agree to throw out the rules.. we don't have a democracy anymore.
