Having interesting textures to chart with a tongue is great. I wouldn’t be concerned about it.

Troublingly, the electorate rather resembles the coverage: highly partisan or just moronic.

That 1995 thing was a huge fucking deal at the time. It came out that shit like that happened before more than once and the army protected the perpetrators. But that particular potato was just too fucking hot and those fuckers did time in a Japanese prison.

Might’ve been the incident that made me realize the rest of the world might not think we are big damn heroes.

They voted to give him all that money again after a judge tried to save them. I don’t even understand. No one is worth that kind of money.

I was thinking a Pinto.

I had multiple interviews with a company and was told they went so well they stopped interviewing other candidates. The interviews did go quite well. Then they hired internally.

It was a bullshit short term contract anyway, but that’s the best interview I’ve had in 3 months of searching. I don’t know if that counts as a “fake” job, but it was a huge waste of everyone’s time.

I think there is a lot this fails to capture because certain things are unprecedented. Michigan’s GOP is in utter disarray and it isn’t the only one. And overturning Roe v Wade has energized the left and disillusioned whatever center remains.

Now these facts are baked into the polling already, so obviously that’s a big concern, but I believe this means polling is too far right across the board. I think who makes up likely voters has shifted. RvW drew in younger voters and I think now that they are engaged they will remain so.

Time will tell. I’ve seen far less Trump support this year than I did in 2020, which yeah is anecdotal, but I think it’s an indicator. Of course, even if I’m correct, Michigan isn’t going to carry the election alone, and it looks like the rest of the rust belt is further to the right.

They are venomous but non-lethal unless you have significant health issues already. What a tarantula attack is good at is triggering an involuntary fight or flight response.

The really awful thing is that tarantulas are quite fragile. My great aunt used to own a pet store and she killed one just trying to blow some sand off its belly and it leaped out of her hand and cracked itself open on the floor.

The whole package is quite lovely, but that collar suggests you’re into the fun toys. It inspires ideas both sensual and cruel, the details of which are best left to our respective imaginations.

And yes I’m trying to avoid obvious and pedestrian observations about how delectable your body is, but I would love to run my hands all over you. My wife is built similarly, so I guess I just have a type.

I must admit there are other features I’m drawn to.

Well he specified static website, which rules out WP, but yes. If your host accepts posts (in the generic sense, not necessarily specifically the http verb POST) that raises tons of other questions, that frankly were already well addressed when I made my post.

I do love a little peek-a-boob.

I suggest creating a nice hermitage, because human stupidity is a constant.

Well first, they claim ownership over all women, then rent them out to men.

I want to say that’s just cynical sarcasm, but I’m not certain.

DDoS and hacking are like taxes: you should be so lucky as to have to worry about them, because that means you’re wildly successful. Worry about getting there first because that’s the hard part.

Could be. I just picture guns to be involved in a much larger proportion of violent crimes.

That’s definitely part of the question.

That makes sense. So you’re suggesting that maybe the number of violent crimes has gone down but the number of victims per crime has gone up? It doesn’t seem like there are enough mass shootings to account for that big of a difference, but I can see where it would contribute. Suicides seems to be the leading candidate for now.

Thank you, genuinely. I’ll see if I can confirm that explanation independently, but that gives me an angle to research.

Sure but that isn’t the point of my question, and treads perilously close to the area I’m trying to avoid. I’m not interested in the political decision here, but the facts that purport to underlie it.

I can’t argue in favor of this action citing facts that not only seem to be bullshit, but also threaten to undermine the narrative that people don’t need guns for protection because violent crime is so low.

Here we have the surgeon general saying gun violence is so bad it’s an emergency. How is that going to play with people who hoard guns out of xenophobic paranoia over their own safety?
