This article says police barrier. https://www.npr.org/2020/07/04/887257243/2-people-injured-after-vehicle-careens-into-protesters-in-seattle

"One person has been killed and one hospitalized in serious condition, after a vehicle barreled past a police barrier and into protesters on a freeway overnight in Seattle."

Not sure why that article says that. Others Ive read just say they it was closed by protestors. On the video, you can see that there are civilian cars blocking the way.

Do things like this happen because its an islamic country?

Yes. In Islam, women need to be modest and submissive to men. Most of the popular singers get death threats on the regular. A very popular Lebanese singer lost custody of her children to her husband because shes seen as a slut for dressing provocatively. Even if a woman is raped, they generally blame the woman for tempting the man/men and its seen as a huge shame on her and her family. Most women wont even file cases against their rapists because of how guilty they feel and generally their families are against them bringing attention to what happened because they dont want society judging them.

There was a mini-series in Egypt years ago where they wanted to bring attention to this. It was a show about 3 women getting raped on their drive somewhere. One woman kills herself, the other is sent away from her family after her fianc breaks up with her, and the third decides to file a case. Her family is completely against her, her husband divorces her over it and alienates their kids from her. In the end, the rapists are convicted and punished by death (the punishment for rape in Egypt), but she lost everything.

Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Its ingrained in society. I keep hoping that stories like this will stir something there one day. Im very glad my parents left Egypt and I was born in the West.

Neat I got stuck in an infinite loading screen this morning and had to hope my game was going to be okay.

That was me yesterday. It took 10 minutes to load the game. I was freaking out. I wonder if it has to do with the update?

This wasnt a lawful closure of the interstate. The protestors had closed it for a couple of weeks from what I read. It was also 1:30 am. So its hard to say if the driver intentionally meant to hit them or maybe thought it was late enough that they would be gone and drove recklessly. Maybe he was intoxicated. People are jumping to conclusions really quickly.

Nothing against open relationships. People here can be very close minded.

But I wouldnt suggest that route for pregnancy. Mostly because of the possible legal consequences. What if he decided to sue for custody? Better option would be IVF with donor sperm and see if you can request an Ethiopian donor

Im not liking this diving update. Its very boring and tedious. The mermaid recipes are gated so you can only get 1 a day. And diving for the pearls needed is beyond long and boring. I spent two hours and got 2 pearls to make one wall. Fuck that lmao

Hell yeah, just keep at it!

There's a surprisingly large number of "debt is actually good" people out there, but I think the feeling of freedom from it has value itself.

Yeah were definitely not one of those. Weve always had minimal debt. We took a substantial loan from my uncle to help buy a house with a 3 year payment plan. We should have paid it off by now or so. But my husband lost his job somewhere between that and took six months to find a new one. So that delayed things but it will be a huge weight off our shoulders once were done. At least it went towards equity in our home.

Im looking forward to that feeling in 5 months if all goes according to plan/budget. It will be nice after several years of putting a good chunk of money towards paying stuff back.

I have meteor showers and Celeste. If anyone is interested let me know and Ill open my island. Im half asleep and might pass out in 30 min or so

Often its just DPS doing dumb shit and expecting that healers can heal through their dumb. If I see a DPS just standing around in bad, then I dont heal them.

The one time I took a whole pill I ended up blacking out. I had been taking a half pill before and it was working fine. Dont take more than you need to. It can be dangerous.

No, but Im sure its happened and Im just not aware of it. Not something I care to dwell over.

Take it for the money while you keep looking for something else in your field.

I do care. Throwing it alive in a boiling pot is cruel. But Im not able to knife it in the head myself. So I never have used live lobster.

Thats so heartbreaking

I disagree. Past behavior is indicative of future behavior. Lots of people bullshit on their resume. The key is though is to ask thoughtful questions and then probe further into a candidates response to see if they are just super prepared to bullshit you. Ive been in interviews before where the resume looks solid and they have perfect answers ready for your questions, but when you ask them to dig deeper you find out they dont know jack shit.

But I would say most interviewers dont prepare well, so they end up asking dumb questions like what is your biggest weakness/strength that are 100% made to provide BS answers.

My other cousin was swearing by this recipe. Im going to give it a shot next. Freaking marshmallows in it

They look tasty. What does towers do to the final texture? I normally do chilled balls for cookies as it helps them stay cookie shaped and soft. If you cut them to look like cookies I find they go super thin (but some people like that).

Cookies are great. I have some baking as we speak.

The towers just help them get thicc. Pic does show it well but they are super fat and chewy cookies.

I chilled my dough overnight and made them this morning before heading to my aunts

Omg they look amazing! Now I need to try the tasty recipe.

Im making a batch of the thicc ones tonight though. Im going to my aunts tomorrow and my cousin devoured them and has been asking for more lol. After that Im going to test out that tasty recipe though. Looks amazing.

Imma get sword. Should I get the expansion pass or nah?

After you pick up the game and pick your starter, lemme know and I'll breed the other two for you where I'll leave them in eggs and let you hatch them so that you're their original trainer and not me. Though they will have way better stats than the one you start out with with at minimum 5 IVs (each Pokemon has 6 stats each on a 0-31 scale where 0 is "no good" and 31 is "best", so 5 IVs means 5 of those stats are "best") and their hidden ability, which you can only obtain from catching a Pokemon that already has it and breeding it with a chance that their offspring will inherit it. I could also breed a copy of your starter for you but I think it's pretty common for people to stick with their starter throughout the story because of that bond, and then toss them aside in postgame.

So yeah like Jabodie says, the main story is kiddie stuff but when you get into competitive Pokemon, including breeding, it turns into 5D chess.

Oh yeah, you being a Pokemon's original trainer means you can nickname them as much as you want (if I was the OT then you can't change the nickname) and they will never disobey you even if they become a higher level than what your current badge allows.

Sounds good, thank you!

Nice. I've been having some screwdrivers. Great breakfast drink.

Breakfast drinks are the best

Its Friday morning and Im drinking mimosas while I work. Whats wrong with that?

i prepped the dough and will be baking later today oh yeee

although i put in way too much sugar since i used an american recipe

if they come out good then i'll post some pics later on

Yay! Which recipe did you use? And yeah American ones are always sweeter. For some stuff its ok. But for classics like souffls or crme brle I always go with French recipes

Try Pokmon:

HeartGold/SoulSilver
Platinum
X/Y

to start with. Theyre fairly beginner-friendly and generally better games imo

Thanks but Im not a fan of handheld games. Part of the reason Im contemplating playing this is because I can play it on my switch on a big screen. Im an old crudgemuffin

Don't worry, the tutorial is designed for children. You'll be fine.

Whatchu trying to say??

Sword comes with the sword legendary Pokemon and Shield comes with the shield legendary.

They also each have like 20 unique Pokemon to each game, but if you have an online subscription it's not hard at all to find the ones missing from your game.

That's really the only difference between the two of them.

Thank you for actually answering my question. Which do you think I should start with at least initially?

Whats the difference between both games really? Different Pokemon? Which one has the cuter ones?

AmericaTheBrave posted...

The one with Nessa in it.

Dunno what the fuck that is

Jabodie posted...

Sword. The series is stupid easy. Just remember type advantages and you'll be fine.

Dunno what the fuck that is

Christian RULES posted...

Get Sword.
Sword has the hotter gym leaders.

Yeah thats not my thing

I have only ever played one Pokmon game ever and I think it was Crystal on GB color. I dont remember much of it either.

But Im bored and it looks pretty. Which one should I get, sword or shield? Any tips for someone unfamiliar with the series?

are you asian? i got some anti asian shit back then too

No Im middle eastern. My name is very unique so I got teased on it endlessly. Was called a dirty immigrant and told my family and I should go back to your country and stop stealing jobs. I also spoke English as a first language and that was a no-no in Quebec in the 90s. My sister was also bullied for having brown skin.

Pretty much every day from first grade up until 10th. Mostly was fueled by racism and envy. It got to the point where some days I just refused to go to school and my mom knew it was so bad that she would let me stay home.

I did not since Im more south but was in a team meeting with people who did. They were reacting to it live.

My doctor suspects I have it. Im supposed to do an extensive blood panel to rule everything out but Ive been lazy. So far theyve ruled out rheumatoid arthritis.

I tend to mostly be ok but I get flare ups every now and then. They tend to happen on rainy days or when I get my period. But it essentially feels like my entire body is sore. All of my muscles ache and are tender to the touch. Simply taking a shower is so painful because the water feels like its beating on me. It feels like I had a crazy workout the day before or like I was beat up or something and my body feels bruised all over. My fingers and toes ache too. Ive had flare ups so bad that I could barely move out of bed.

Again its not confirmed but just highly suspected at this point. My ANA test was a slight positive but not high enough to be any autoimmune disease.

Its weird. She never gave me the Gemini closet. I got the cancer table yesterday. She gave me a bunch of other recipes all month. But I though she always gave you one of the current zodiac ones

Here's the pictures they used in the study and I can see why they negatively affected the results, had they used candid pictures vs semi-professional looking ones I think the outcome would have been different

Its an orange cat too. Just look at that orange boy. The poses are whats dorky about those pictures.

Fuck that. I couldnt be with a man who didnt love cats
