I (a middle-aged white woman) have dyed my hair black, red, blond for decades and not even one single time has anyone suggested that those aren't "natural colors" even though they were obviously not MY natural brown hair color.
Yes, but this looks like a wolf spider. Wolf spiders are yard spiders that run very very fast and therefore are required to stay in the yard. It is the law. There's nothing I can do about it.
(Or it's my childhood trauma. It's definitely one of those things...)
This is because most healthcare professionals know that abortion is a critical component OF maternity care, so they're fleeing these areas. Pregnancies go bad. A LOT. The only way to fix that very often is the exact same medical procedures used to provide elective abortions.
You can't selectively outlaw certain medical procedures and expect good outcomes.
It's just difficult to find succinct sources that provide that data. Justice Department investigations tend to be years in length even when they don't involve a former President of the United States.
I think the layperson might confuse all criminal investigations with ones prosecuted by the DOJ when most crimes are actually prosecuted by state officials, not the DOJ. DOJ always moves way slower, always has.
Links below are not hard data, but it is statements from people with experience in the process:
"A Federal investigation can last upwards of 5 years due to most Federal Statute of Limitations prohibiting the Government from charging or indicting someone after that time period. It is not unusual to see an indictment that lists dates of offenses 3-5 years prior to an arrest."
Yeah, as a nurse, hearing about the AI 'revolution' in context of the ongoing extreme shortage of healthcare staffing just makes me think, "Great, more people who can come join us!"
I envision a future where the primary occupation of the vast majority of humans is providing direct care services to other humans.
(Note that I didn't say the primary source of income because that should be UBI. But the primary actually what we are spending our time doing type of occupation.)
Oh definitely no! This one stands on its own. MI has never tried to make an overarching plot universe that spans multiple movies. They're all pretty much standalone.
The only one that even comes close is Fallout, which doesn't "require" prior viewing to understand, but is more impactful, if you've previously seen Rogue Nation where the villain first appeared.
I don't think that's the feminism that the movie was criticizing, but rather the commodified "girl boss feminism" that holds up conventionally beautiful commercial attainment as the ultimate aspirational icon.
As opposed to the feminism of intersectionality and respect for the rights and choices of normal, everyday women.
I feel like MI: Dead Reckoning part 1 actually did what Secret Invasion wanted to do: Set up an enemy that uses your own networks and routines against you such that you can no longer trust your previously reliable means of functioning and have to develop entirely new ways of doing old things
There's no "should," there's just how it is. Watergate took this long just to get to impeachment, and there was no federal criminal investigation into Nixon to go along with it:
Watergate only ended Nixon's presidential viability because Republicans still had some vague sense of shame at the time. Now they don't. If you want ironclad criminal charges, the investigation requires time.
I refer to him that way because you don't see a lot of the others out desperately trying to make arguments that conservativism is a logically viable political stance. People like DeSantis know their views are shit; they just don't care. Frum cares; he's just wildly wrong.
In many states, the law fails to recognize coercive power dynamics (like being arrested and detained) as inherently non-consensual, leaving "but she said yes!" as a viable defense for cops who "have sex with" a detained woman. It's disgusting and very real.
"After a woman accused two New York police officers of raping her while in their custody in 2017, the legality of police-detainee sexual conduct gained national attention.
While the Prison Rape Elimination Act protects inmates from sexual abuse by prison staff, the law does not apply to detainees who have not been convicted of a crime. Forced sexual conduct is illegal in every state in any context, but in states without a law mandating otherwise, police can argue a consent defense if detainees accuse them of rape."
I mean, yes. It's harder to make charges stick to people who can afford expensive defense attorneys. Add in the inevitable political ramifications of these particular charges, and you can see why it was critical to take the time to get this right. And they managed it in only 2.5 years. Absolute light speed under the circumstances
Ah yes, those moments when the +1 sword really shines
