Here’s another shirt design I’d wear.

That was actually what my initial response was going to be! Then I checked the definition and saw it wasn’t even necessary to argue at the molecular level.

This seemed a little sus to me so I checked the dictionary. Merriam-Webster says wet can mean consisting of liquid such as water. (See 1a of screen capture).

So you’re saying that approving subsidies now just means the insurance companies would make even more profit and the customer is basically already irreversibly hurt because the premiums are already raised?

That just doesn’t sound like something Congress would do, they are the good guys.

Here’s a /s the size of Greenland.

Freaking finally! When the emails dropped I skimmed through a bunch of them myself and the big thing I took away was “Holy Hell why are there so many with Steve Bannon and nobody is talking about this?” Maybe it got some mentions here and there that he was in there but it seemed like a HUGE volume to me like they were bff. Glad to see someone reporting on this.

I charge Amelia Vanderhorst with being a legend.

I think one problem with this is that there is only so much land/sea on earth. Once all available land is forested you have completely maxed out this option. Then when a tree dies and falls over most of its carbon begins to be released back into the atmosphere by decomposing organisms so you are reliant on another tree taking its place to maintain status quo. Same for any biological solution (algae dies/eaten -> carbon released).

Fraud is a criminal charge and AirBnB’s arbitration clause is for civil disputes. Original commenter is saying police should be investigating this.

It’s always the ones you’d most suspect.

The video of the girl walking through fire is horrifying. Then you learned she lived and it’s like oh thank goodness!

Then they interview her and she is bawling while discussing her dead siblings and my heart sunk.

Then they asked about her mother and she started describing how much she loved her mother. Her mother is dead too. I don’t know how to describe how I feel now. This hollowed out, desperate pain. Impotent rage.

If I had to guess, there are probably some valuable natural resources under the ice that are going to become more accessible with global warming. It’s a resource grab. Same thing as trying to get Ukraine’s minerals.

Edit: Yep I should have searched before I replied.

Language isn’t always about logic. Discussing things in terms of male/female is fine in many contexts but is often done when discussing science or medical topics. Ex: the male pelvis has a different, narrower shape than the female pelvis. It’s also used in situations where people are deliberately ‘othering’ people. Watch any police bodycam footage and you’ll see that cops frequently say “male/female” when discussing non-police individuals.

In daily life, most people use men/women for non-scientific discourse. The women’s restroom. A group of men at the restaurant. Etc.

But here’s the thing. Male/female are used for any species (a male beetle), but man/woman are only used for humans.

Assholes like Tate push a twist in this dynamic so that men are called men but women are called females because it can be dehumanizing to women. When you say female you could be talking about an insect, but a man is human. It’s a succinct example of their philosophy. That’s why people consider it derogatory.
