That’s a hip, not a belly. I think.

Why not both? Put up posters of him with all/each of the allegations, and stamp CONVICTED across each of those. Since the immigrant ones don’t have the stamp, just like some of the Trump ones, the distinction is made.

How do you feel about being read to? Your spouse might enjoy being the reader. I haven’t read to mine but I loved reading aloud to our kids, especially The Wee Free Men, even though I was apparently wrong in pronouncing “Crivens!” with a long I. Pratchett books in general are great for doing the voices, because they live on the Disc, so technically you’re never butchering the accents even if your version of sounding out those vowels and consonants and apostrophes are like nothing on Earth.

Any mistake by any woman “justifies” the canard that women are incompetent. Same is used for Black men, but judging by the election record, the misogyny is even deeper than the racism.

I’ve never heard a woman say they did or would have their baby boy circumcised because uncircumcised penises are gross, or any other version of aesthetic reasons. The religious reasons are rooted in the patriarchy, as is the “need” to look like one’s father and male relatives.

In the case of female circumcision, it’s a way of enforcing the position of women as property, making it more apparent if she’s ever had sex so her virginity can be sold to her husband. In its most extreme forms it can require she be cut open in order to give birth, and resewn each time. It can block clumps of menstrual blood and lead to infection and sepsis. In less extreme versions it can prevent her from feeling any pleasure during sex, in order to prevent her from having any except that imposed by her husband.

The only reason a scalpel should be anywhere near a person’s genitals is to treat a serious health issue. Which includes dysphoria.

How about we just stop insulting anyone’s genitals instead?

I feel like your argument loses something by being stated backwards. It (and Hacksaws reply) comes off sounding like you are more angry at women than the patriarchy and want to be able to mutilate and body shame them. Rather than what I hope and assume is the case, that you want all genitals protected from mutilation and shaming.

In true Easter Egg Hunt fashion, one egg was not recovered until someone’s grandchild randomly found it a day later.

Apparently we bought a bad president last year. Can we return him for a refund?

Also, what’s happened to Melania, with her veil and look of loathing?

Add-on question: when using a fork, do you put the points on the plate (or stab a piece) and then use your knife to push food onto the downward curve of the tines (I would say the back but that’s because I don’t do this) and lift it points-down?

Or do you carry food on the concave curve of the tines (as well as stabbed on the points of course) and lift it points-up?

This is cultural, neither is incorrect, but it might affect your choice of fork. Whether you switch hands or keep it entirely in your left might also make a difference.

I’d call it a miracle and propose beatification

Both these comments brought a small welcome upward twitch to the sides of my mouth.

But I assume the real reason is the accumulated leaders of nations.

Plus perhaps crowd control, with the possibility of protesters against the crimes of the Catholic Church, and just the general press of mourners, as he was a popular Pope.

The real power move would be for Francis to have arranged for a bomb under his carcass that explodes when it detects McDonald’s-breath.

…until the end of 2019.

So, the numbers here end just before the start of COVID-19. You might as well just draw a line to the ceiling then

You could possibly mitigate the problem by keeping the battery out of the scale except for the few times you use it. Or add a snippet of tape you peel off and replace. Will the battery for the calipers fit in the case separately? It would be a PITA but so is constantly replacing them.

Even though I know it’s innocent elsewhere, something like “retirement scheme” still suggests some kind of Last Big Heist to me.

Also an American here: The GOP’s scheme to destroy scientific knowledge and deport all who question them is feeding right in to Norway’s plan.
