"Your body - your choice" refers to the basic human right that you're your own master and no one else can own/control you.

It's especially used in the discussion about whether abortion should be legal or not, where it refers to the fact that the fetus in a pregnant person is indeed part of that person, and they are allowed to do what they want with their own body (e.g. abortion).

The post mentions the opposite, "your body, our choice" which refers to the anti-abortion movement where people, often due to religious reasons, think they should have control over a pregnant person's body, rather than the pregnant person themself.

She holds the title International Master, so I guess OP thought that's the same as World Champion? But she's currently ranked 6365th of active players.

"You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."

"A hospital? What is it?"

"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now."

"Northern Europe" but Belgium/France/Germany. Welp, I guess the Nordics don't exist.

To be fair though, there are also about to be some severe floods in Lapland quite soon, albeit for a completely different reason: exceptionally warm spring weather melts the snow faster than usual causing rivers to flood.

What the fuck is going on with their asses? Now I really feel we're missing out on something great...

Almost as if it's possible to improve even the largest cities' infrastructure to be more human friendly. Almost as if there's no reason bad urban design should remain bad forever. Huh, who knew...

It would have cost you nothing to not write this comment...

Still doesn't add up. 37% of the US population is 120 million. 1% of the global population is still 80 million.

Are you comparing US household income to global individual income? If that's the case I can see your percentages working, but that comparison doesn't make much sense so I'm still lost.

60% of the US population is like 200 million. 1% of the global population is 80 million. Your maths is way off.

I'd assume something closer to 6% of the US are in the top 1%.
