This is pretty much reaffirming my position that the only mercy and compassion that evangelicals should ever get is the wall.
“A shower once every 11 days is rookie numbers. Besides, no need to shower when you only go to a workplace that has a smell you’ve been desensitized to.” - Me, who works in a factory anywhere from 5-7 days a week from week to week.
No, don’t ask me what my longest stretch without a shower is, you don’t want to know.
In actuality it was always about maintaining a legal and socially acceptable avenue for continuing this country’s legacy of racism and slavery.
Sorta, in actuality it was created with the intent to get around the 1st amendment protections and silence the civil rights and anti war dissenters of the time, the relevant quote about this is below. After the Vietnam War ended and the Civil Rights Act got passed it turned into what you describe it is today.
"You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
Which is funny since if that scenario happens in the US (which is very rare as it would likely be ‘sorted out’ long beforehand), the construction company/developer will more often than not just run to city when they get fed up and next thing you know the holdout is being served papers for eminent domain.
Okay, at the risk of being that person, the F-35 loses in a stand up fight because it’s not designed in a doctrine sense to get in stand up fights. On paper it’s designed to leverage its status as a stealth fighter to avoid those stand up fights by either avoiding them entirely or get one of the most important things in a A2A engagement, getting the first missile salvo off.
So regardless on how actually good the F-35 is, having it’s blueprints to have the knowledge on how to counteract it is still incredibly useful in case it happens to be very good for what it’s designed to do.
Yes, but the best way to predict when a landlord increases the rent is usually tied to property value (which in turn influences property taxes). And the best way to tell if property value is going to go up is by paying attention to the kinds of stores opening up (or developments being built) in your neighborhood.
Do teachers who do this really think it discourages the disruptive kid
The key thing here is that this isn’t designed to directly discourage the kid, the purpose of doing this is to get the other kids to let’s say do some creative persuasion techniques to not do that again. You might recognize this as one of the stereotypical methods that a military would do when dealing with problem soldier, punish the whole unit/squad instead of the single soldier.
>4 food items
>$25
That’s only true if you buy the items individually which seems to be very common with how many people i overhear the order of in the drive thru.
But I know for a fact that you can get a cheesy gordita crunch, beefy 5 layer, cheesy fiesta potatoes, and a medium (+$0.10 to make it a large) drink for $7 (in the taco bell app, it’s the ‘build your own cravings box’). Welcome to what I like to dub the “pizza place monetization scheme”, where prices are inflated to shit and back unless you know or research the magic code and/or corporate advertises the magic code.
Same energy as John Bolton going on live television and telling everyone the reason why the US is sanctioning Venezuela is that “it’s about the oil”
At work atm, so I don’t have time to go find a video of it. But I distinctly remember it happened.
