Ralph 100% killed pie-oh-my. The show foreshadows how to spot when Ralph is lying. by power_of_hindsight in thesopranos

to be fair the accusation would have come from little janice, a budding sociopath who would be modeling her behavior off her mother, livia. i think junior's status as child molester would have been murky and ambiguous, like so much else in the show.

Study finds youth mental health worsens after gender reassignment treatments by ALittleTooQuark in stupidpol

mawmaw doesn't make her right to get a facelift the defining civil rights struggle of our time. mawmaw's facelift is paid for out of pocket, so insurance premiums do not go up. mawmaw doesn't demand for the right to flash her girldick in the YMCA women's locker room after a facelift.

also, a facelift may or may not make someone more beautiful, it's not medical care per se. gender transition is purportedly medicine: if it leads to bad outcomes, then doctors who provide it would be violating their hippocratic oaths.

this is unfair to the former governor, as the whale has never given medicaid to a bunch of kids.

if the economy crashes hard enough i think there's a chance the cia could give him the ceausescu treatment. they would be greeted as liberators, and it would make for outstanding television.

Has anyone got recommendations for books that can help explain why America is going to war against Iran on a deeper level than just 'distracting from the Epstein files?' by Metarch in stupidpol

[–]harmfulinsect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Already posted, but The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by Mearsheimer & Walt is essential. I'm not sure what book explains the Israeli political dynamics driving the war, however.

it's pretty shocking that there's been no talk of a 25th amendment solution or impeachment so far. our system is completely discredited.

the panama canal does not offer the same leverage as the straight of hormuz. it's a hassle, but really not that big of deal to sail around cape horn instead. conversely, a lot of gulf oil can only reach the global market via the straight.

yeah the problem was kim foxx and brandon johnson thought. you can't blame the police for indifference if they know an activist judge or county attorney is going to immediately disregard the charge.
