The best reason IMO to do something like that would be how it would play outside the US, especially if it's followed by real legal consequences. We'd probably be considered slightly less untrustworthy than we would be otherwise.
More than a few "all of the aboves" here.
He'd probably be one of those really obnoxious used-car salesmen (but I repeat myself).
I have a list of candidates for the biomass!
Re 2, IMO a big part of it has to be the way it's reported. With less polarization back then, the news media didn't have as much of an incentive to put their thumbs on the scale one way or the other.
These look amazing, and (as a person with facial hair) if I ate one I'd probably be wearing bits of it for the rest of the day.
I am in this picture, and I guess I'm OK with that.
I'd qualify that: the *fixed* fight is what he craves, because he really, really hates to lose.
Thread. Simon was a Good Cat.
Zelazny had a few quirks that would need content warnings; e.g. _Lord of Light_ contains a really dated and awful view of lesbians. Not saying he wasn't an excellent author, though.
In the end, the Suck Fairy will not be denied.
(Speaking as someone who still occasionally rereads bits of the Lensmen series, and is aware of the multiple levels of crackpottery and sexism present in it. Seriously, in some ways Smith was like "What if Ayn Rand was a better writer?"
Cue NOFX: youtu.be/m6-bS2-mfic?...
A black fluffy cat with very large, round eyes looks up gently from the bottom of the image. The background is a soft, textured gradient of blue, green, and warm tones. Above the cat, white handwritten text reads: “I hope you know that you’re more than the things your mind says on hard days.”
I wouldn't want to pick him up and put him in my pocket, though.
I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!
...but it definitely could be.
He had that raw-looking area on his neck a month or two ago, IIRC, that the WH said was from fluorouracil treatment. And that *can*, AIUI, be used to treat certain skin cancers.
I would say the same thing about "Jupiter Ascending." A glorious, beautiful, hot mess of a film.
I've seen it described as "you're the material component for their Summon Jesus spell."
And when the one that appears to be beholden to your will is also the political home of the majority of people who think that your faith community is the hidden source of all evil in the world.
And in that case we'd probably be hearing about it from a lot more women.
OTOH, the stated reason for firing the AD was phrased in a really general way..."behavior not consistent with our core values," or something like that. Some managers would have benefited from a little more specificity, I think.
On the one hand, I'm lucky; where I work, several years ago an associate director was fired for, AIUI, *not investigating* a report of abuse. The probable abuser and the directorate HR person were also fired.
Hey, those spirits are load-bearing!
Thread.
Thank you so much for waking up that earworm.
Hugs.
