Rubio looks appropriately disappointed in himself.

Yeah, at the very least, Clinton was president before trump, so he’s not the first no matter what. Not that Clinton’s a great guy, but he’s passed the lowest possible bar of “not trump”

Probably Lincoln. From that link (emphasis mine):

Mainstream historians generally hold that Lincoln was heterosexual… However, his intense bonds with men may or may not have had more meaning to them, with one notable case being his close friend Joshua Speed, with whom Lincoln lived together – and slept in the same bed as – for four years.

I wanted to be a naval pilot engineer at four. I’m colorblind, terrified of heights, not fond of authority, sloppy, and scatterbrained as hell. It’s quite possibly the worst possible job for me. To be fair, part of the reason was that I hated the word “bellybutton” and thought anyone who said ”navel” instead had the right idea, so it’s not like I really understood that part of it.

There are also people who are just crippled by test taking anxiety. That’s probably not a good indicator for their driving ability either, though

Ngl, I’d pirate the shit out of GTA:Milton Keynes

TLDR: Cars are the real problem here, not bars. I hyper focused on this, so it got a little long, but I swear it’s not AI, I just like to write with dashes.

It’s also not really fair to ask bartenders to accurately assess inebriation for large numbers of customers. Legal limits vary, but 0.05-0.08% BAC doesn’t normally make a relatively experienced drinker (not a euphemism for alcoholics, but not 19 year olds or people who never have more than enough to toast) slur or seem even obviously tipsy- similarly, long term alcoholics can seem sober with a BAC of 0.15%. It might be more accurate to judge it based on approximate size and just use a table, but that’s no help for people who recently donated blood or didn’t have dinner. I know that sounds like nitpicking, but I do remember kids in college donating blood together and then going out so they wouldn’t need to spend as much money getting drunk, and skipping dinner to get drunk faster/cheaper was super common for most of my acquaintance circle until our mid twenties (I’m not even really a drinker, so it wasn’t huge for my closest friends, but it’s something people would mention doing pretty regularly).

One possible solution would be to have a breathalyzer with an easily disinfected mouthpiece installed in bars, so that people would realize how much alcohol they actually have in their systems, but that could also be disastrous if improperly calibrated (and even if not, a person with a BAC of 0.04% who’s never had alcohol before is probably not good to drive, but it puts the bartender in an awkward spot to cut them off before they’re over the limit, especially if their boss is shitty). I could see bars tuning them to be more sensitive as a marketing and protective strategy, but if people didn’t think they could trust the results, it would be pointless.

I think we’re looking at the problem the wrong way though- the bars are not as big a problem as the lacking infrastructure, and trying to bandage problems from our reliance on cars through bars is inadequate.

All that is to say, I agree that this is a good idea in places with good non car infrastructure, and places without it should look at implementing it before subsidizing alcohol from restaurants and bars. Especially considering that the initial problem is social isolation, which is only compounded by car centric infrastructure

I’d support this with a huge caveat: it would probably only work in a place not reliant on cars. Otherwise it sounds like a recipe for a drastic increase in drunk driving accidents

There’s just no reason to make them comfortable, so why would you? At the same time, it soothes grievers when they look comfortable, but faking it is much cheaper than actually doing it.

“To suggest that I must divorce my husband over political or social views is not only unreasonable, it’s insulting to the many couples who hold different perspectives yet remain committed to each other,”

Bruh??? I’m not insulted, as a vegan married to a butcher. I don’t think my sister, married to a man of a different religion, would be insulted. In fact, just about nobody I know who’s married would be offended at the idea that you should get a divorce if your spouse literally becomes a Nazi.

Sorry, totally unrelated but fun memory: Iconoclast was the first word whose unexpected etymology I (mostly) worked out on my own. I was watching a vh1 documentary on iconoclasts, and I’d just had a biology class where I’d learned about acetoclastic bacteria. I had a eureka moment wherein I leapt to the conclusion that “breaking the mold” was an older saying than I expected. I wasn’t totally right on that, but I was still psyched to have broken it down correctly.

What was the source from Christian apologists for her age, even if Wikipedia doesn’t take it?

I don’t need that for ammo against Christianity, lol, I went to catholic school, I’ve got plenty of material. I was using it to make a flip joke.

But do you have any source for her age? If that’s as unreliable as you say, you should probably put an edit through on Wikipedia.

Do you think there’s a more accurate determination of a teenager’s exact age two thousand years ago?

Wikipedia lists her birth year as 18 BCE, whereas Jesus’ is between 6-4 BCE

Mary was only around 14, too

She might be cool with and prefer a lab-grown or vintage diamond, though.

lol, what a dubious honor. “Are you saying I suck?”

The ease seems less important here than the morals, tbh. It’s easier to make people aware of scammers than to make them care about each other, unfortunately.

Tbh, the fraternity was pretty inclusive. It wasn’t required that they go coed, they just decided to. I do wonder what she’s like now that she’s a lot further removed from her hometown, but I know she’s at least still heavily anti-trump.
