They got cut from the team

On the one hand, I hate onions. So I totally get it. I wish I could sue every time someone sticks one in my food as a disgusting surprise too.

On the other hand, if you have a food allergy, that is different than just requesting “no onion” on your burger. They have to take steps to prevent cross contamination. It is a whole thing, and he should know that if he is really that allergic. He would be having this issue all the time becuase (as I well know and lament as an onion hater) onions are in a ton of foods everywhere you go.

They would only be negligent and liable if he told them that he was allergic and they claimed to have taken precautions to prevent exposure of his food. If he just asked for no onions and had an allergic reaction because they messed up his order like every fast food restaurant in the world does sometimes, that is not gross negligence, that is a standard accident.

Probably because “Max” sounds more like streaming service for cinemax than HBO. Just bad branding and arguably opens them up to copyright suit.

They always were allowed, you fascist fuck.

Executive orders are not laws. He can direct how the law in enforced, but he can’t just unilaterally define new laws

Actually, it says he started when his cousin was 6, and ended when Kanye was 14. Either they have a big age difference or they don’t and this went on for a long time. Either way, i agree, this is not normal.

Edit: for clarity, young children “playing doctor” on occasion is entirely normal. Young children mimicing sex acts that they have seen can be more concerning, but can be innocent exploration for kids who don’t know any better and ultimately be fine. But young kids continuing to do these things periodically or increasing in experimentation over years is not healthy developmental behavior. And a significantly older kid, especially one who is old enough and understands what these acts are, performing sex acts on a younger child is extremely concerning. A) it often correlates with having their own sexual abuse history by an older person, B) it correlates with an unhealthy sexual development and inclination toward pedophilia, C) it can completely shred ones mental health as they struggle to cope with the trauma as they grow to understand that they were abused, and D) it propagates those things onto the younger person in turn.

Jesus fuck, if you want people to have kids, it is not that hard. Remove obstacles. On average, people want to have kids. It’s an evolutionary drive. People override that drive when they do not feel secure enough to start a family. Just make that easier. That’s it. Make sure people can afford to have kids, that they can provide them a comfortable and safe upbringing, that they can ready their kids to become adults, and that their kids’ future seems likely to be bright. How?

Decrease inflation. Subsidize child care. Increase wages and benefits (raise the mimimum wage). Mandate maternity/paternity leave. Make coverage for kids on health, dental, and vision insurance less expensive, or provide medicare for all (or at least all children). Make sure young people can afford good homes off of minimum wage. Make sure good schools are available to everyone by improving public education and providing bussing. Make sure kids are safe in schools with gun control laws. Make sure college/trade schools are inexpensive and accessible. Stablize the economy. Promote good middle class jobs. Avoid war. Fight bigotry. Provide comprehensive sex education and family planning resources including abortion rights so that people can start families when they are ready and promote generational wealth and welfare rather than propogating generational poverty.

Notice how damn near all of these things that would increase the birth rate are antithetical to GOP policy though? You want the results, but not the means. You want to offer “medals” for motherhood like a boss offers a pizza party for a record profits last quarter. It’s unserious, unhelpful, condescending, insulting, and still leaves new parents struggling to get by. Be better leaders with sensible policies. Maybe then you will get your wish.

As well you should. Duck 'em up!

Jahovah’s Witness knocking on your door

Ayn Rand made a good point here as long as you exclude the context of what she considered good and evil.

For context, Ayn Rand’s “good” includes unfettered capitalism, personal wealth, individualism, and oligarchy. Her “evil” includes industrial regulations, charity, social responsibility, and democracy. That certainly puts a different flavor on her statement, doesn’t it?

TIL

Not just the costumes, much of the footage used was just re-editted footage straight from Japan’s Super Sentai series (specifically their 16th iteration). The only footage that was American made, for the most part, was stuff in the command center and where you can see the actors’ faces. The monster fights, the zords, the stuff with Rita on the moon, etc. was all Super Sentai footage.

And the reason that the yellow ranger didn’t have a skirt like the pink ranger did despite being played by a woman is becuase they weren’t played by a woman in Japan. The yellow ranger was a guy in the original Super Sentai series and was only made a girl in the US.

Tommy is white… White ranger. Tommy discovers he is like 1/32 Native American… suddenly becomes Red ranger.

Honestly, that is pretty par for the course. Go get that ethnic minority scholarship you slightly-less-than-totally-white guy.

“White power”… “ranger”

Jason was Native? Pretty sure Tommy was Native in the canon (confirmed when they are seeking the Zeo Crystals), but I don’t recall Jason ever being identified as Native. Although Tommy did then become the Red Zeo Ranger, so that’s not great. Is that what you were referring to?

The non-existent value of weirdly comparing his profile to a Greek statue aside, it’s not even a good comparison. He has a way more prominent nasal ridge, a higher, more angled and sharp jawline, lower cheek bones, and a much flatter brow/forehead. What exactly is meant to look similar here except that they are both white guys?
