I'd rather they arrest the pimps and sex traffickers who exploit women and force them into it, but that's just me

Not to mention that then it's up to someone in power to decide what "misinformation" is

Those kids will have trust issues for life

Hmm. I guess this is a downside to having all your citizens spend time in the military

Dar Leaf sounds like a character in the Star Wars universe

They'd make all their money back if they auctioned off those particular wheels

Let's see, she went to Howard University, a HBU, and while there was a member of a black sorority, but you know what? Let's let you (presumably white male) decide who is black enough to be black

STFU and GTFO of here

The only thing old racists hate more than minorities is multiethnic minorities. It confuses and angers them

Fox & Friends host Brian Killamead is trying to spin it as, "aren't we all a little weird? What's normal anyway?"

Depends on what part of Alaska you're talking about. South Central is all connected by a road system (yes, it's paved) but there really aren't many alternative routes, so if there's a bad car accident or a landslide, you're effectively cut off.

Another difference is the distance between places. When I travel to the lowered 48 I'm always reminded of that fact as pretty much every few miles is an exit to a new town but they all seem to have the same shitty strip/outlet malls and chain restaurants, like carbon copies of the next town over.

Here there tend to be small communities along the highways but all the communities seem to have a distinct vibe and flavor as other than a few pockets of larger communities there aren't many chains until you get to the more populated areas.

Plus no billboards obstructing the views as you drive along the highways so it's very scenic most of the time. Mountains everywhere for most of the road system.

Outside the road system the communities tend to be pretty small and very rural as they're usually native Alaskan villages or small towns along the panhandle in the South East. They're close to BC so very similar climate and topography.

Along the coast are many fishing towns that all tend to be similar. Harbor, bars near said harbor, churches, and small homes. With a general store and maybe a library.

Up north is where the climate sucks most of the year, except for about 2 weeks in the summer. Not many people other than Alaskan Natives are brave enough to live up there full time. I've worked up there on a 2 week rotation schedule but if I had to be up there full time, I'd go insane.

Outside the cities most people will carry weapons. In the city fewer do, but bear spray is the go-to bear deterrent in the city parks and trails

That's about the only way for a consistently bottom tier team to land someone of his talent and experience

Meanwhile, on the streets of Caracas, a mix of anger, tears and loud pot banging greeted the announcement of results by the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council.

Yeah, it's no wonder his tires were able to last so long

That's typically less than a beer per hour. I get a buzz if they're IPAs or other high APV beers, but otherwise I just like the mellowing effects

Christofacists is my preferred term.

Appreciate the fact you can force your pee stream further now. I don't know when I lost the ability but I do remember when I tried to and nothing happened. It was a shocking reminder I was getting old

Whew! I drink 4 or 5 beers daily and have for years. None of those listed markers applies to me. I don't drink to get drunk, just to relax.
