The change they should be supporting is “don’t.”

I’d bet dollars to donuts this person is not even sexually attracted to women.

You see an issue crop up in many areas where something is generally found distasteful by society at large, so it is made illegal by various means, leading to greater harm than if it was just legal and regulated. You will not eliminate demand, therefore you will not eliminate those attempting to supply the demand. If sex work was legalized and regulated, it would be much safer for the workers, customers, and even those who choose not to engage with it all. The current legal environment creates space for trafficking/slavery, public health concerns, and a lack of physical safety for all. While a legal and regulated industry won’t completely remove the black market, it would greatly reduce it and the harms it causes. Is there still demand for dusty garage tattoos? Yes, but that is certainly not the majority of the market.

And “whole milk” has about 3%. In either case, the fat is removed, then added back in.

My understanding is that it is intentionally adulterated by illegal distillers in order to increase potency while keeping costs down in a competitive black market of alcohol sales to those who can not afford legal alchohol.

I’m not entirely sure what would be expected here. Reality television is trash entertainment for trash audiences. I can’t imagine intentionally placing myself in the crosshairs of society’s lowest common denominators unless I had a plan to leverage it for my financial benefit. The people who consume this media lack critical thinking skills, the ability to differentiate reality from fiction, and a lack of impulse control. This didn’t occur thirty years ago when “reality tv” was in its infancy. The actual reality is well known and abundantly clear now.

The larger issue here is that our society idolizes the military in the first place. I find that much more concerning than “stolen valor.”

Don’t tell idaho, their bars will have a “Super awesome straight skinny guy beach days” every Saturday…

John Cena really passes the “beer test,” and from all accounts, it isn’t just a persona.

You apparently struggle with reading comprehension. You wrote out that entire tirade against something I didn’t say. Again, the advertisement was KEVIN COSTNER, the actor not a character, going on about what great people settlers were. In fact, it was a rather terrible advertisement because all I could gather is that the movie is about settlers going west.

The advertisement I saw for this film struck me as some white supremacist nonsense, so I won’t be seeing it. Costner carrying on about what great people settlers were, no thanks.

If you consider that around 3,000 people were killed on 9/11 and around 5 million were killed by America’s responding “war on terror,” this really was Isreal’s 9/11. Hell, the US put boots in damn near every country in the region except the country that funded, trained (with our help), and planned the attack.

I think that is fish filets with lemon and fly garnish.

I apologize if I wasn’t clear in my statement. I was not supporting shaming fat people. As someone who is, once again, overweight, I know they are well aware. I am, however, opposed to those who state that you can be healthy and obese, as the evidence does not support it. Also, no one is owed to be found attractive by others. The greater your weight deviates from healthy, the lower your pool of potential partners. People need to accept the realities, not expect others to indulge in fantasies. That was all I was trying to convey in short hand. I still think all people should be treated with respect, and it isn’t anyone’s job, except maybe a medical professional, to point out someone’s weight to them.

As with most things in “mainstream” American culture, that was the case for the majority of minority cultures in the US. It just takes a while until the majority catches up.

This was a decade before all about that bass, the healthy at any size nonsense, etc. Either way, it really is unfortunate that we’ve gone from “you shouldn’t be shitty to people because they’re fat” to “being obese is something to be celebrated.”

It really is a terrible article.

That was an unrelated story about some other guys with “ties to ISIS” who were not implicated in any specific plot that was included in the story for reasons unknown.

I’m very suspicious of this story, myself. Somebody hit that little girl with the racquet.

Damn, a former president is banned from entering more countries than I am. That’s fucking wild and make me feel slightly better about some of the places I’ll never see again.
