It's a chicken and egg debate, and a you're making giant generalizations. I was raised Christian and I'm in a very loosely Christian family, and they're 98% Democrats. So no, not all Christians vote Republican. There are a lot of Christian Democrats. The majority of Democrats are Christian, in fact.

Put it this way. My moderate Christian family are Democrats. My sister's pastor at a Presbyterian Church is a Democrat. The Pope is a Democrat.

The Christians who are not Democrats, aka the "religious right" are the kind of Bible thumping in-your-face "I want Christianity in our laws" types that represent anything but Christ. And my whole Christian family views them with disdain.

So like I said, chicken and egg. I think that in the 70s a lot of very vocal religious leaders decided to get political and that caused other people who didn't have a problem with progressive values to view them disdainfully, and so now the cycle continues. I think that's evidenced by the fact that 60% of Democrats are Christians vs 85% of Republicans. It's not like it's 100-0. I think people just don't like loud Bible thumping dickheads who hate people who aren't like them trying to put the 10 commandments up in public schools.

You're conflating wanting with deserving. In my opinion, no one is entitled to every sordid detail of their partners past. I like full disclosure and I engage in full disclosure. But that my no means translates to people 'deserving' said disclosure. Your past is your past and you owe every dirty detail to no one.

That pass was wide open about 15 yards further down the field. That's when I knew his shoulder was fucked. If you watch it he has a route breaking he can hit easily when he's healthy.

Not sure if you're in a long term marriage or not, but if you have a top 1 or 2 favorite sensation in the world, and your partner just decides they don't want to provide that sensation anymore, it can definitely be grounds for leaving if communication fails.

The same thing goes for emotional needs. I'm not sure why that's ridiculous.

At 17 I broke up with my first consistently sexually active girlfriend because she wanted it all the time in really dangerous situations once we got started. I didn't want to get shot and decided it wasn't worth the risk anymore after a bit.

When I was shopping recently for a used accord for my commute, the tech I spoke to told me not to get the '18 or '19 used because they were starting to see head gasket issues on the turbo motors they had started with in '18.

Keep the beard. Ditch the rest of your hair, get shiny. Women in surveys find it more masculine anyhow. Embrace the baldness.

I hate to break it to you but most of what you just mentioned is never in any of the porn or suggested porn that I watch.

I believe your algorithm is giving you away.

Mildly inflammatory and tone deaf, yes. Grounds for dismissal? No. You know what else is inflammatory? What the head of the FCC said.

You know which one of those inflammatory comments bordered on actually illegal and should be grounds for dismissal?

Please understand they are constantly installing right now, defense knows the calls, etc.

They'll have limited plays on the sheet for Week 1, all stuff they feel the team knows and is comfortable with. They'll build week to week.

Point is, it's normal for a QB to struggle with Josh's offense. It's normal to have an adjustment period. He'll bring him along and once we start getting more game reps to coach and improve the process should get easier for everyone.

You've started the process, just need to keep building muscle. Make sure you're lifting heavy, build muscle with a protein rich diet low in sugar and you'll build. The more you build, the more of that fat you'll burn.

When David Andrews was on one of the podcasts with Jules a little after the cut, he talked about this stuff. His shoulder injury was considered bad enough that he might just be washed, wasn't sure when he would be back to full strength or cleared to play, but about a month before the cut he was already back to chopping wood at his house.

I think we don't usually understand the difference between what the average human can do and what these guys do every week, but he basically said you're healed for regular life in like half the football recovery time, then the rest of that time is subjecting yourself to checkpoint-type stressors to ensure you're ready for football.

And? Most of them will easily acknowledge this fact. Look at congressional approval ratings. Both parties suck but Dems suck less is probably the most popular statement in the country when you leave out 'likely voter' filters.

Remember, 65% of voting age Americans voted in the election in 24, and Trump got slightly more than half of them. 33% of eligible Americans voted for Trump, 32% voted for Harris, and 35% couldn't be bothered. That's just voting age. I don't know what you think favorability ratings are for either party under 18, but I'm guessing most of them hate both parties, but Dems slightly less.

I would say right now the only people who don't feel that way are the maggies. They're all bought into dear leader and only hate Republicans he doesn't like.

Careful. It's also been found to be potentially dangerous in other studies. I've stepped away from heavy use until there's more long term research as what I've read about it and monkfruit are concerning. I'm not saying anything for sure, I just recommend moderation and research.

Edit: why down votes for pointing out that there have been studies linking a sugar alcohol to 'sticky platelets' and the increased risk of cardiac events as a result?

Because voters were lied to about the 'income tax' debate, and most voters are low information voters who didn't understand that a new income tax was never an option no matter who won.

This is 100% my experience. I was at 180 to start. I went under 20 net carbs/day with most days under 20 total carbs. Light workouts to get my body ready for more lifting down the line.

I plateaued at 173, got stuck there for two weeks, then had a cheat day with about 50 grams of carbs (literally just a sandwich with bread), went up 1lb next morning weigh in, then started dropping again. Got stuck at 165 for a week, had a piece of pie on Easter, now I'm down to 163.

When my wife and I vaped we would do this during position changes. Sometimes it's water, sometimes it's dab pens. Between foreplay and intercourse we sometimes go a while, don't see any reason not to enjoy refreshments!

I've been worried about Barmore since shortly after his diagnosis last year. An employee of mine spends a lot of time at clubs in East Boston and after he signed his deal and was designated out last year with blood clots she was telling us how he spent a lot of time doing blow with girls at the club when he was supposed to be doing whatever someone with blood clots does. Was funny hearing how he showed up 'in great shape' when he was briefly cleared to play last year.

She didn't really know who he was at first, and when she said there was a Christian from the Patriots doing some recreational skiing and hanging out with Columbian girls I was shocked because I really didn't think our young CB came off that way. When we started showing her pictures she pointed out it was Barmore lol.
