what they can contribute back to humanity as a whole
You really are right about this, we want good leaders with good plans. Humans, who can be humans. If we can elect religious folks (Biden) who don't push that everyone must be that (I don't feel that he has), it is just the same with a "Trans Atheist Single Childless Woman of Color" because of that same thing. It's good to have diverse leadership. It seems that some of these hate groups are wrapped up in believing something like if we let one in, we let them all in. We're all here, together, and it can be fine.
Despite its high mortality rate, it seems to have low infection rate. Almost worse, will I be next? Who is it gonna be? Terrible. I hope research reveals some form of treatment.
I guess yay for being celibate? But really this is crap, how can we encourage folks to use easy-access protection when we have headlines like this? What about dental dams? Why is this even an issue? Why won't the manufacturers share their "ingredients?"
It's such an unfortunate situation. Why go after another country? Maybe Maduro is watching USA, or maybe USA spent too much time messing with Venezuela.
I have definitely seen an uptick in these over the last two weeks. Multiple times a day, some calls, too. I was involved in some activism 10-15 years ago so I accept it (still baloney tho). It has started on my work phone as well...
I understand the pushback against names like this, and concern for kids receiving these names, but I think it is misdirected. Ya, sure, maybe sometimes the name is literally made up, or in other cases has multiple variations on a theme, but anyone with immigration in their ancestry can tell you that naming conventions do not always move well to other countries. In the USA, we have multiple spellings for names like Muhammed and Dermitt because of this. I don't see why this is a big deal and think it potentially enriches culture.
You know, now that you mention it, I have had some kind of gelatinous fish preparation, and it was pretty good! I didn't eat it cold, but I do eat cold fish. I'm not sure about braised beef ( very likely) and I have had beef stew if that counts?
