Exactly. The problem is that it can never just stop there. If we could all just "live and let live," then of course everyone should have the right to worship how, when, and where they want to. But humans are all judgemental, narcissistic dicks who insist on forcing beliefs onto everyone and everything because they're right and everyone else is wrong.

In the US, it's never just a matter of "religious freedom." It's a matter of people having bodily autonomy, of freedom from persecution for loving who you love, of freedom from diseases that proliferate due to the rejection of modern medicine. There are even homeless shelters/soup kitchens that won't allow people to eat or stay the night until they've sat through an entire church service. And that's considered pretty normal in terms of charities that target homelessness and addiction.

It may be a cliche way to put it, but it really does act like a societal cancer.

Alaska: cold, that one goldrush

Hawaii: warm, colonialism

I think you know more about our history than we do

Seriously. This whole comment section is disgusting.

Sucks that she died, but

Speaking of having sensitivity, jfc.

This is a nice sentiment and everything, but for anyone who is all in on this guy I would recommend reading his book and getting to the "personal responsibility" part.

This comment section is pathetic.

How tf is a muslim school a blatant violation of christian religious freedom? It's a violation of their ability to be bigots

The "constitutional principle of religious freedom" says there shall be no official state religion. So...when the state funds something religious, what does that sound like to them

I have the same problem with mine. It literally never recognizes the printer wirelessly unless I turn it off and on, unplug, push the wifi button, and cancel and restart the print at least a few times.

I also found out that I'm being charged by the number of pages I print. When I signed up, I was under the impression that I would be charged for the printer ink. Apparently it's $4/month for 20 pages or some shit like that and then $1 per every ten pages after that? How the fuck can they charge per page? Aren't the ink cartridges what run out and need to be repurchased? But even though I get charged every month automatically, whether I use the pages or not, I don't get sent new ink until I request it. Or buy it? And I magically lost some discount I was supposed to get after purchasing through Amazon.

The whole thing has been a shit show. Plus the printer itself is the flimsiest piece of thin plastic that weighs nothing. I hope the FTC sues the shit out of them.

Stop treating people with addictions a non-humans.

I think this whole post sounds astroturfed by people pushing the idea that workers being denied jobs is a good thing. At least I hope it is, because otherwise that means people actually believe that.

Let's face it, the only reason we get by is because rich people need our labor.

we need those workers to be out of jobs and on the streets

I'm guessing you'll be the first to volunteer then? For the greater good and all.

A climate-focused approach can be built into any economic system

That's worked super well so far

Ever seen The Way of the Gun? Crazy movie, but the gun play is spot on

That's a great movie. I never see it mentioned anywhere

No, she has one spot of mud perfectly placed on her cheekbone.

Always seems to happen when a woman is in an explosion or something too. One cut or scratch in the same place or just above the eyebrow, and in the next scene it's got a butterfly bandaid over it.

Yes, that's called being a TERF. And when anyone calls them out on it, someone goes "oh but they're standing up for all those poor women and girls." Gtfo.

Caswell, who has faced several chemical endangerment charges over the years, is now in state prison, serving a 15-year sentence.

What. The. Fuck. There are men who beat the absolute shit out of their girlfriends and spouses, for the 5th time, sometimes nearly kill them, and never see the inside of a jail cell or any charges at all. Or they get a few months and when they get the cops called on them for beating the shit out of another woman, they don't even get a parole or probation violation. Sometimes women get arrested, bloody with black eyes, while the person who did it walks away with barely a scratch and zero charges. I'm just speaking from personal here, but this happens with tons of other things. Sexual assault specifically. The supreme court just made it legal for people who have been charged with domestic violence to own/buy a fucking gun while out on bail.

I'm not defending using drugs while pregnant, and it's stupid I feel I even have to say that. But this sentence just shows, clear as day, the utter contempt the US has for women. And that the US prison system, and entire criminal justice system, constitutes actual torture - as they said in the article. I'm ashamed be an American, what an absolute Gilead shithole of a country.

This article was amended on 30 May 2019 to remove remarks by Paul Dolan that contained a misunderstanding of an aspect of the American Time Use Survey data.

Fuck, they really did him a disservice with this edit. He wrote a whole book based on the survey data.

How is that possible when mortgages and student loan debt is factored in? Also I wonder why they excluded medical debt. Maybe they consider these things more "voluntary"

Reservoir was named for original settlers, the Butt Family who are buried in a secluded private cemetery near the reservoir.
