What actually is that, in other words than scotch North Sea oil? I looked it up, but there was too much noise about mining. Unless that is petroleum?

I just learned that I can vote as a non citizen resident in Germany. Every country has its own laws and it might have been an honest mistake.

This is the first time I’ve conceptualized how much more stressful the second situation would be. I’d definitely be hanged for making eye contact with the queen or forgetting to discriminate against Irish people or something.

It’s baseless science that was just to further subjugate an oppressed people by giving their mistreatment a pseudoscientific justification.

He went on to say that the modern Democratic party lacks the qualities of presidents it once housed, including former President Kennedy.

Speaking of infidelity…

They can legally also do it while working, though. It’s their car and they’re not an employee, so Uber certainly can’t tell them not to. I guess I don’t really see what you’re trying to say: do you want him to not be allowed to pray while working, or do you just think it’s a dick move? If the latter, do you think it’s reasonable to pepper spray him for it?

I’ve got misophonia, and sometimes people make sounds that make me super uncomfortable. In an Uber- style situation, I tend to just politely ask them not to (unless it’s a breathing sound, in which case I just try to distract myself)), which has never not worked.

There was a great joke going around near brexit, that the US and UK were in a competition to ruin their countries. The UK really pulled ahead with brexit, but the us had a trump card.

He writes insane things in all caps that are divisive, instead of hopeful. His products are overpriced, flimsy, and deceptive, instead of cost effective, long lasting, and simple (this isn’t an ad, this is probably not a comparison they’d invite, but I’m happy to reword this if it feels like too strong a recommendation). He takes the worst parts of religion and distorts them to suit his purposes, instead of using just the best parts of various religions and other writers to try and find a universal message.

Basically a reverse gallows with a horrible name

The upright jerker was an execution method and device intermittently used in the United States during the 19th and early 20th century. Intended to replace hangings, the upright jerker did not see widespread use and was withdrawn from use by the 1930s.
