Half the technology only prevents death, but doesn’t necessarily give you quality of life, so they can keep it. It’s the pharmaceutical advancements that have had the biggest QoL impact on me, and thankfully generics have been reasonably affordable.

Add to that nine years of daily posts on r/PastorArrested.

Is it a level playing field? In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US. Then add in government subsidies, lower worker pay, reduced R&D costs because they pilfered the engineering from a US company, and you end up with a very lopsided market.

To be clear, I am in no way defending the US auto industry. They have little customer loyalty for a reason – low quality, overpriced, subscription dependent vehicles with terrible warranties, expensive service requirements, and invasive telemetry. They need more competition to force them to make more consumer-friendly decisions, but China is hardly a fair competitor.

Fuck. It’s 2am and I’m so high. Why did I have to read this‽

Oh fuck off.

I’m not blowing smoke here … that’s great writing. It works well if you imagine voice growing frantic and speaking faster as it goes.

One Christian criticizing another is just typical inter-sect conflict found in most religions. People who are fundamentally kind or fundamentally cruel will both find and interpret passages to support their views. But because it’s “god’s word” they will always refuse to waiver in the face of logic or common sense.

The problem is that all religion provides fertile ground for both extremists and con artists to grow – in this case both.

it’s people manipulated to go crazy, whether it’s someone murdering, suicides, or pressure that makes someone commit crimes

You monster

True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way… 4135

I think of a capital A, which is why I’m in the 4135 camp.

I think we are in a teeny tiny minority.

Out of curiosity, how do you write a capital letter A?

Do you write a capital A starting at the top?

Oof … I’m very much for women making the final decision, yet the idea of no cutoff date (assuming a perfectly healthy mother and fetus) makes me uncomfortable. I’m imagining someone just changing their mind at 30 weeks. But of course that’s a highly unlikely scenario. More likely is a relationship ending and the mother realizing she won’t have the support she had anticipated. Or an abusive partner prevented her from getting the abortion sooner. I suppose there could also be financial reasons they couldn’t do it sooner.

Ya, it just makes me uncomfortable after the point of viability, but it’s not my life or my child or my choice, so I don’t disagree with you.

I got you.

One and two.

You forgot “Sticks and Stones” which is the better title for WWIV

Ugh. I hate it when people downvote others for asking legitimate questions. I didn’t know it had a special meaning either, so thanks for taking one for the team. 🤷‍♂️

Ketamine too. You can get it in a clinical setting without a prescription. It has a half life of about twenty minutes so if it’s not your thing it’s over quickly. One session gets you two separate doses, so you trip for about an hour, and feel totally normal afterward. Great for depression too.
