This was silly and cheesy. But it is such a relief to see a politician enjoying themselves rather than ranting.

Or even “vs only president to be impeached twice,” “only president to be elected after losing and being impeached” “first president elected by an electorate that knows full well he is a rapist,” etc.

Monkeys are specifically non-ape simians.

Problem is on some calculators C is clear all and CE is clear entry, on some C is clear entry and AC is clear all, and some have a C/AC or CE/C button where it’s press once to clear entry and press twice to clear all.

So it’s safest to mash unless you really know your calculator, because the industry can’t get its shit together, and that’s the sole reason it died (I’m assuming.)

“Enrolled PCs will continue to receive Critical and Important security updates for Windows 10; however, new features, bug fixes, and technical support will no longer be available from Microsoft,” explains Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president and consumer chief marketing officer at Microsoft.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

I don’t want to believe you, but I’m not about to read that book to find out.

I thought it was cool to see it when we got married a few years ago as well, though we opted to go with husband and wife.

Sure, it makes no difference at all if you vote. That’s why parties spend billions of dollars campaigning to you and Republicans are passing laws and suing to make it harder to vote.

Started using it today, it recommended Green Onions. Very nice album and I likely wouldn’t have listened to it otherwise.

What lies were people fed about Tuxcart?

They can’t, but organizations can conduct exit polls where they simply ask people who they voted for.

Is it universal that pro-lifers only make exception if the life of the person carrying the pregnancy is in danger? I’ve seen pro-lifers who make exception for rape and incest, and others who would advocate banning it in all instances, even when the life of both is at risk.

It ultimately is religious belief.

Religious people believe the soul enters the body at conception, granting personhood, so abortion is murder. They also believe that people put to death will go before God, where they will be judged as evil and sent to Hell for eternal punishment.

Everything else is just window dressing.

Clear and simple makes things easy, but easy is not always better. Also, the “life begins at conception” position only seems clear on the surface, but if you look deep enough things get quite muddled.

For example, is a zygote a single person? What if it later divides and becomes twins or triplets: did the twin’s life begin at conception? Did one life become two? Is a zygote a ball of life that can become one or more people?

What about miscarriages? It’s thought as many as half of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, but most happen so early that the carrier is not even aware they’re pregnant. If you come across a family with four kids, do you assume they likely had another 3-4 lost lives via miscarriage and hold a funeral for them?

Should people start getting child tax benefits as soon as they have a positive pregnancy test? Or is “life starts at conception” only relevant when we’re talking about abortion, but conveniently ignored everywhere else?

And what if there is a complication with pregnancy, where if an abortion is not performed both the carrier and developing human will likely die, but if an abortion is performed only the developing human will likely die? Is it now permissible? What if the carrier is a 14 year old who was raped, is suicidal, and has a high chance of stabbing themselves in the abdomen to try to self-abort if they’re not able to get an abortion: should they be restrained in a padded room until the baby is born, forced to serve as an incubator for a baby that the state will then take?

Even when your cutoff is strict, it is not always “clear” because this is a complex issue without a clear answer.

But to answer your question specifically:

Pro-choice people generally recognize that abortion is not desirable, but disagree exactly what the rules should be. Abortion does the least harm when the pregnancy is a single cell (zygote,) and in the embryo stage where most abortions occur the developing human is essentially a collection of multiple cell lines becoming differentiated into tissue but not yet developing functional organs (you’ll often hear this called “a clump of cells.”)

As the embryo develops into a fetus, the heart and brain develop and start functioning, which is where some pro-choice people start to draw a line. Others point toward viability: at about 22 weeks, a few fetuses have been known to survive with extraordinary health measures. By 36 weeks, fetuses can be live born without any extra health issues from being born early. So starting about 20 weeks, we start to recognize that pregnancies become more and more viable: that’s where a lot of people draw the line.

A very small percentage of abortions are done late in pregnancy, typically for health reasons. Not all pro-choice people are in favor of legalizing this, but many feel that in these situations, abortion is a tough decision that is best made by a patient in a careful discussion with their doctor, not by a politician they will never meet. So while these pro-choice people may not wish to see an abortion performed within a week or two of natural birth, they do not want to outlaw it so that the option is there for people who truly need it.

What do you mean by that? You’re an anti-natalist?

Trump inherited a booming economy from Obama and it was starting to decline in 2019 even before COVID hit. Often the president’s policies have an indirect effect at best, but economists generally agree that Trump’s policies were accelerating the decline in 2019. Obviously, the pandemic muddled everything in 2020, but the short answer is “no:” Trump took a good economy and was slowly killing it.

80 years of economic data has shown that Republican economic policies simply don’t work:

This dramatic shift in the odds has coincided with a high stakes move by a mysterious Polymarket user, "Fredi9999," who has bet millions on Trump's victory.
