In general, American men are larger - dimensionally - so more fibre is required for a larger person.

Ideally, an individual would work with their doctor or whoever to figure out how much would be appropriate.

I was thinking about the French rapid weight loss system.

Pelosi just needs to go away. She should have a couple of decades ago.

DNC staffer, screaming into the phone: "What do you mean Jimmy Carter won't take our calls?"

Goddamn this timeline sucks hairy balls (not to be confused with me cuz ain't nobody sucking me). I didn't like her as a VP pick and I don't like the idea of her as President but she's still 1000 times better than Cheetodick.

I'd love to see them nominate Bernie or AOC for VP. That's how they'll get the 18-24 year olds to come out to vote.

Manchin? He's basically a Republican. He just hasn't kissed Trumps ring. Besides he's declared himself an "independent."

Definitely. There's a big enough group of decent enough people in Utah that help keep the state from turning into Florida or Texas, for now.

Hahaha. The third chapter into the book, the big "good" guy - Nephi - kills a dude because the voice in his head - the "Holy Spirit" - tells him they need a book the guy has.

Ever hear of the Mountain Meadows massacre? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_Massacre?wprov=sfla1

Or how about something more recent? Jeffrey R Holland - an Apostle of Jesus Christ - essentially telling Mormons to get their muskets ready to defend themselves against gay & trans people?

Even better - how that talk is required reading/listening at BYU?

Mor[m]onism has always been violent and has embraced authoritarianism from the very beginning. Their proselytizing is just another form of colonialism and sending 18-19 year olds on missions (and having them pay for it) is just world-class brainwashing.

Is number one an Arch user?

Have you been to Utah? There's probably a few "good Mormon" doctors who would do it, citing deep scripture regarding blood atonement and that kind of BS.

This is it - the stupid question. It displays a complete lack of understanding and utter laziness.

It's perfect. It screams "I read the name of the community and took no other action to learn more about it before posting."

This is how you do it, folks

Congratulations @frankenswine

The "secondary" letter is where the phrase "separation of church and state" comes from and has been quoted innumerable times by judges, elected officials. The complete context is:

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

Th Jefferson Jan. 1. 1802.

Thomas Jefferson took this notion so seriously that he did not attend church services while President.

The creationists who are antivaxxers, anti-abortion, pushing Christianity to be the official religion in government, want Bible studies as part of school curriculum, brlieve the Earth is 6000 years old, climate change deniers?

Those creationists?

Thomas Jefferson wrote "a wall of separation" but since nobody ever reads his letter to the Danbury Baptists, this is how we end up where we are.

Cortana did nothing wrong...well in the 3-4 episodes I watched.

I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't.

The list of countries I'd move to is actually longer than ones I wouldn't want to move to.

ACAB - now with CrowdStrike!

GroupStrike?

On the day you take the oath of office. She could turn 35 on January 19th and it works.

I love this phrase and I will use it.
