Plenty of progressives who lean on the "vote-with-your-wallet" rhetoric. Can never be too careful.

what was WAP again? Rings a bell

That's free-market naïveté . No one has the time to be an expert in every field to always make the informed choice.

Do you read the labels on tangerines to check which antibiotics were used against citrus-greening? Do you even know if that's something you should be worrying about? Is Anti-Microbial Resistance something to legitimately be afraid of when buying tangerines?

(I leave this as an exercise for the so-called informed reader....)

Mourn for this man, not for his choices but for his lack of them; a store selling expired milk should be put out of business by the authorities, not by a mob of post-poisoned shoppers.

plus better games

whilst I hear you on the rich vs poor front, there's a difference between following orders and getting erect at the prospect of carrying them out

You mean a portable vibrator

That... is my exact handwriting. I actually had to scan my memory to check if I wrote something like this

That look: "You only cared for my wellbeing when I was up here and not down there. Curious double-standard, is it not?"

measuring cell stress (literally how much you can deform a cell) as a factor that can influence its development is a bit of a hot crossover field in Physics and Biology atm

The EU only validates the signatures once the petition is closed

Ah, makes sense - thanks for this

gotta summary? I don't wanna watch a vid

EU one requires an ID/passport, UK one doesn't -- I'd argue that the EU one is safe and the UK one should get more attention on the validitiy

So I was reading up about it a little, and apparently the lady did get some kind of spoken agreement from the priest that she could restore it:

"(The) priest knew it! He did! How could you do something like that without permission? He knew it!"

and the priest then washed his hands of her once she botched it.

That being said, the piece is getting so much attention that the little church is raking in donations, and the woman is now sueing for a piece of the pie:

The story about "Carl Twinly" is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.

Fox 19 reported: "A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit ... Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She's also accused of urinating on a neighbor's front porch."

He's barfin' into it
