I think the material conditions in Iraq had a major impact on the ability of ISIS to recruit and spread their ideology.
I bring this up every time with someone who eats a panino for lunch!
What age are kids in 'pre-k'? I'm imagining like 3-4 years old? I wouldn't be surprised at that working with some kids that age. Not saying I think the story is true necessarily, but just that young kids are very trusting, don't always put together information they get in different settings, and don't really discuss weekend plans with each other much.
Apparently you don't live in Scotland (west coast at least). Spring may not be warm, but we get some clear dry days, and if you're in the sun and out of the wind you can feel the heat. By summer it's so muggy and humid that 15 degrees (Celsius) feels oppressive. I used to live in Australia but the (not-)heat here feels worse.
What do the spidery white lines joining the minimums represent?
I think this is definitely true, but it doesn't just blanket apply to any joke that mentions these topics. Jokes where people "pretend" to say sexist or abusive ideas, but the joke is that "I'm actually a nice person, I obviously don't really mean this" (eg "no means yes, and yes means harder, amirite guys ;-)" or "if there's grass on the wicket, it's ready for cricket, lol"), can definitely be harmful even if not many that way. It normalises those attitudes, and can make abusers feel like they have more support from society than they really do. But in this comic the character comes across as a psychopath, proudly announcing something that is clearly wrong, and the other one calls the police. I don't feel like anyone is getting some message that actually it's totally normal to have sex with ten year olds...
It is interesting, but remember we need food to live anyway, and we need exercise to stay healthy. If we ask used ebikes on max pedal assist to get around, but then go to the gym and pound the treadmill for an hour, what does that do to the numbers? Or if we eat less and burn less energy, but then lose bone density and need more healthcare as we age (just one effect among many of not getting enough exercise)?
I think we should try to answer this rather than just down voting. I think the difference is that conservative thinking led to the policy that led to the person being targeted, and possibly also to a climate of intolerance that made the attacker/s feel like they had the support of the community to do that. We're not really talking about who is too blame for this individual instance (obviously that's the person/s who manslaughtered this child). We're talking bigger picture.
When an immigrant commits a crime, I suppose you would argue that liberal thinking created the situation where that could happen, but I think it's a false equivalence. Big picture immigrants don't disproportionately commit crime, and there are major benefits that come with immigration. While trans people absolutely are disproportionately the victims of violence, and there are no real benefits to transphobic policies.
I guess I haven't done great at this, please other people build on this reply, it just felt wrong to see a fair enough question just being downvoted with no reply.
No, their population peaked in 94 at about 150M. They definitely have a serious population/demographic crisis. Arguably it's one of the reasons Putin decided now was the moment to escalate in Ukraine, before it's too late. Also why they're taking Ukrainian children.
Even with soap I need to look hard for ones without damn foaming agents like SLS (which are literally irritants to skin). But at least you don't have all the plastic waste that shower gels involve. Shampoo and conditioner are available as bars too, for people who use those.
How do I work out my personal heart rate zone boundaries?
