An event of a nature which we are no longer permitted to specify happens in Arizona, which may or may not be related in some way to the subject of women's reproductive health.

Per admin Timmy

Anything that's say, a basic human right or even just a basic fact about reality? That's not political. Just because one particular group likes to make science and social denial their political points doesn't mean those things actually are politics.

Access to safe, legal abortion is a matter of human rights. Authoritative interpretations of international human rights law establish that denying women, girls, and other pregnant people access to abortion is a form of discrimination and jeopardizes a range of human rights. United Nations human rights treaty bodies regularly call for governments to decriminalize abortion in all cases and to ensure access to safe, legal abortion in certain circumstances at a minimum.
-human rights watch.

So unless a mod wants to directly contradict the admin the subject of abortion and abortion access should be fine to talk about.

It's when the Arizona abortion ban goes into effect. This statement is just a fact about reality, which is also fine to talk about.

The repeal of the law did make it through the house yesterday so there is still a chance for the law to be removed before it is put into effect.

Good luck Jen! I hope it all works out for you.

Out of curiosity how did you decide on tubal ligation vs a bi slap, or hysterectomy? Sorry if thats too personal, just curious.

I guess it is closer to the source than the all red star. My bigger problem with it is the points look all fucked up. The bottom 2 are these skinny little twigs while the top 3 are thick. It doesn't even follow the pattern of the show's star. It just looks like a star a kindergarten would make.

This is en entirely puerile statement to make. Simply because they're not stating outright their ultimate goals, doesn't mean that isn't what they exactly want

Media illiteracy has been declining in recent years, I have heard complaints from teachers and book tiktokers about how people don't seem to understand something unless it is outright stated. Which I have also noticed in other areas but that gets more political.

Very girthy and stands impressively erect to show off its dominance. That is a cock that means business and doesn't just want to be handled, pet, and played with unlike this little weiner.

I have seen enough women complain that their doctors told them it is probably just period pain or pregnancy that I am not surprised.

Is it time to retire and live as a nomadic monk begging for alms yet?

I don't get why people even care. The important question is, can they teach your kid maths? Kids are so so far behind these days.

Thanks!!1 I feel like it's gonna take some time before I start noticing the big stuff, but I'm willing to wait.

Big stuff sure. Probably months if not a year or two down the line. But there are a ton of small stuff that happens in the first few months. Breast buds develop, skin starts to soften, erections become less frequent, fat starts to redistribute. Obviously all these start small and may not even be noticeable and everyone is affected by them at different rates, but if they haven't started yet they will soon. Personally after my first month I noticed I was crying at sad media. It felt amazing to be able to cry. I hope you enjoy your journey! What changes are you looking forward to most?

What would you consider his record against Dormammu as?

Congratulations! I hope you are enjoying the changes so far.

the rules are extremely open-ended due to how vague the term "politics" is and nobody's been willing/able to provide any clarification. It's kind of up in the air.

I think this is the closest thing we have to clarification
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/54ff05e5.jpg

I'm still waiting for a definition of what politics are because UTA came out and said things like black lives matter, and trans rights are human rights are apolitical statements. I believe they also mentioned facts as being apolitical. So would it be political if I said isreal killed 11 people when they launched a military strike against a Gaza refugee camp that hit the camps playground. Would it be political to say the attack by Hamas on October 7th killed more than 1,100 people? Is it political to talk about Trump's trial? Or would it only be political to add opinion with the fact?

I love Red Robin. If you're not being offered something you want, speak up and ask for it. I see so many whiny customer reviews about being "ignored" when said person simply can't be bothered to initiate a conversation they desperately wish to have. The conversation being: "Can I get some more fries/water?" Instead, it's about the whole restaurant ruining your dinner. With an attitude like that, they probably didn't expect a tip from you anyway, so why put in the effort for nothing? Save that effort for tables that tip.

A small tip only signals to them that you're cheap. It doesn't actually communicate what went wrong with your dining experience. I've never wanted to be a server/waiter because it really does seem like a most exhausting job having to deal with cheap, whiny folks.

I would have asked if I ever saw the waitress. I don't mind saying a quick excuse me while a server is walking past. And if they ever ask about the food I dont mind saying can I get a refill. In general I'm not a bad tipper. I usually do a minimum of 20% and will tip more if I liked the service. I tipped $20 on a $20 bill just last week for excellent service in a busy shift where the waitress was run ragged. But I'm not about to tip well for a horrible experience.

I just got done eating at red robin. The service was terrible, the waitress never came to refill my water until I accidentally knocked over the cup of ice cubes while trying to get just a bit of water to wash down my over cooked dry as bone burger with onions that I asked to be removed. I was never offered a refill on the bottomless fries, and when it came time to pay they mixed up my bill with a other table and voided my free burger. They did eventually apply a manual discount to the burger but it was a big fuss that didn't need to happen.

I think this might have been the smallest tip I have ever given. Total came out to 31 dollars before the discount was applied. 16.50 afyer the discount. (Got boneless wings as an app and they were bone dry) I left 1.50 tip.

Was your salad organic or was it filled with environmentally damaging pesticides? Was it locally sourced? Did you make it yourself or did you go out to eat? Did you tip enough for the poor server to afford healthcare this month?

Serious question: Is that a precedent you want to start?

No seriously, I don't get why people feel entitled to just confiscate the works of others, simply because they don't like the creators as people. If you don't like Rowling's takes, that's fine, but the notion of just being able to take someone else's work simply because you don't like them is such an insanely loaded take with such easy abuse, I don't know how anyone beyond the most shortsighted or simple minded of persons could unironically even entertain the idea in any semblance of a serious manner.

No, but also sort of. Copyright is way too long. The first copyright laws in the US were for 14 years with the option to extend it a further 14. Now it is 70 years after the death of the creator. 14 years might be too short. But that is way too long.

Based on the original 28 year limit Harry Potter and philosphers stone would be entering public domain next year.

Topic might get locked by mods in the future; fight for your right to complain about politics!

Did I miss an announcement?

Edit: I did miss an announcement. A stupid one. What do they define as politics? They want to center talk around video games? We have a presidential candidate blaming gun violence on video games. Can we not talk about that or how potential bills could affect upcoming games? Polls aren't gaming related, social boards aren't gaming related, most of the special interest boards aren't gaming related.

Not silly news, but I still wanted to share it

I thought their mouths were mustaches in the first panel.

We will have to agree to disagree. The movie was a complete mess like it was trying to merge Shrek and lilo and stitch in the worst possible way. But I thought the father son relationship was the high point of an otherwise terrible movie. It was very relatable.

Is your relationship with your parents supposed to be funny? I don't think having a complicated relationship is bad writing.

Sometime I'll have to make this which is a lot healthier, for me anyway since I have to use almond flour. Been wanting shortbread. Will leave out the pecans though.

https://www.fittoservegroup.com/low-carb-pecan-shortbread-cookies/

Looks good. I have an aunt that can't have gluten or dairy or nuts. So I'm going to try making these using a gluten free flour and lactose free butter to see how they turn out. I'll have to double check on the butter. I know she doesn't use margarine but has an expensive butter substitute she uses.

Her dietary restrictions are several pages long and some she can have on occasion and some she can't have at all and it's hard to keep it straight, so I'm always looking for recipes that can be altered for her.

If you're concerned about how healthy cookies are, you're probably doing something wrong.

It's just butter, flour, and a little sugar. I'm sure it's fine.

Thanks. They're delicious! I didn't have any chocolate to melt for them so tried both a chocolate and vanilla glaze but it didn't really add anything to the taste. They are good without it though.

But then they would be more likely to bend, and let your food spill over. I assume that the manufacturer of these plates have engineered their products to have a rigidity that accommodates for their surface area.

My brother manufactures paper plates. He is always giving away stacks of them. So I asked. He says "I don't know, I just operate the machine."

Neither? Dude is an all star. Retired from Hollywood to take care of his dying wife and raise his children. I'm pretty sure he is still getting offers as well. There were rumors he was considering a part in a Disney project now that his kids are all grown, but checking his imdb it doesn't list any upcoming projects so he might have turned it down.

Edit: oh it was just his kids. His wife had already died at that point. But he did sign on to the Disney project it just hasn't started yet. Considering it was signed in 2020 it was probably covid related.

First you wait for the hard butter to get soft, then you wait for the soft butter to get hard. It's a funny ol' thing, this life we live.

Then, after it gets hard again, I use a roller to apply enough kinetic energy for it to soften again.

Now I must wait while the dough chills in the fridge.

you didn't see it at theater right? theater business is way down in all of u.s.

No. I think they rented it. Or is it on streaming? It was a month or two ago.

It was good, but I think it was over hyped. Then again I was watching it after a 12 hour shift where I was exhausted but other people wanted to watch it so I stayed up to see it too. It also didn't help that the people who got me to stay up to watch it didn't actually like it and kept asking questions.

Either no television or portable potty. The television one would be exceedingly easy with a billion dollars to occupy my time. Get me books and vacations to far away lands where I couldn't understand the television anyway.

I don't know if we really have a dodgy one. All the big ones are pretty standard and the small ones are basically all ethnic ones. There are 2 Mexican ones, a Thai one, and 3 or 4 "international" ones that all their products come from east Asia.

If I had to choose maybe either the new Mexican store on the south side of town or the international one next to the strip club. The one next to the strip club I've only been in once but it was dirty and extremely unorganized. But they did have some products I havent seen at the other grocery stores. Same for the Mexican one, but I'll give the caveat that it was the week they opened and may just not have been fully set up yet. They took over the old pizza hut building and I couldn't tell where the customer area ended and the employee only area began, but as I ended up next to an oven making pastries I'm pretty sure there is an employee only area that I entered into. But there was also a shelf of priced product there so maybe still part of the store?
