Who cares though? It's time to stop segregating sports by gender. Sports are skill based, right? So let's break them down that way. Break out divisions by skill, not by gender or physical location. If a woman can work her way to top-tier heavyweight boxing, let her do it.

E: Damn, y'all are really afraid of getting beat by a girl!

Ryobi is great for starting out. They're definitely not the best tools, but they're cheap. If you wear out something from them, you've earned the right to buy a good brand of that tool.

The doctors will just leave. They already are. https://newrepublic.com/article/176854/republican-red-states-brain-drain

Morpheus? I'm up for a Matrix reboot. Robert Patterson and Kristen Stewart have that unmistakable chemistry of Neo and Trinity.

This is exciting! He's come up with an economic principle where entities engage in an equitable exchange of goods for money where the consumer of the good pays for the value they receive. This could really change everything! I wonder what they'll call it?

What do you do any other night you're alone? Do that. NYE isn't special.

No. They're repeating cable history. The great bundling has already begun. Hulu and Disney are being rolled together. You're going to have fewer options moving forward. You'll have to buy the netflix-hulu-disney-peacock-hbo-starz bundle or the other one with all the rest. Then they can keep cranking up the price because it's all or nothing. Prices will go up until too many people choose the "nothing" option, then they'll start doing a "build your own package" to let you drop half and save 10% just because you want one of the services.

That's the same kind of logic you use about how much you saved when you buy something on sale. Would have saved more if you didn't buy it at all; Israel would collect more tax money if they didn't give them massive subsidies and tax breaks.

This is exactly it. They're not building their brand by providing a superior service/experience or driving market prices down. They're using venture capital to fund giving away games to get you to use their wildly subpar services. They're trying to buy market position without the services to justify it.

https://notion.so It's a web-based editor with a good android app. Has basic formatting, plugins/integrations, and dark mode. It's free for individual use cases. Has some nice paid features for collaboration and business use cases, though the free plan still allows sharing and concurrent editing.

You can budget for cheese on $1.29 a day? You could get rice and black beans twice a day for that, but not much else. I wouldn't consider that "definitely enough"...

No, master-backup-2021-updated-steve-forked is the release branch...

This situation isn't really about the paramedics or if sedation is a good practice. The cops never should have touched the victim. There was literally nothing going on; he was walking down the street minding his own business and the cops attacked him and caused all of this. The Aurora PD are a bunch of drunken thugs (I live where this happened). Some of the Aurora PD members took a selfie mocking the murder at the site of the murder. They get busted for being drunk at work with shocking regularity, and there are rarely any consequences. Here's one of their more stellar members: https://kdvr.com/news/local/aurora-officer-found-drunk-passed-out-in-patrol-car-3-years-ago-gets-promoted/

Maybe try sedating the cops? They'll be less aggressive and less likely to escalate.

E: spelling

Oh yeah? Well lick my gargantuan gorilla gonads.

(I'm actually team jif but can't help myself)

He did one about this new flag too! https://youtu.be/lFwwo0W5Ugg

"The truth shall set you free" ...unless you're a criminal.

From Oxford, the traditional dictionary:

gen·o·cide

noun

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

What part of that is Israel not doing?

Or we can go with the legal definition from the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide linked from https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml.

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

• (a) Killing members of the group;
• (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
• (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
• (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
• (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The only one in question is the last point, but any single one of those points means it's a genocide.

Genocide of the natives was top of the list as soon as we formed a country. 😞
