It seems more honest than touting exceptions as some sort of compromise. Have you ever thought of what a rape exception (or other exceptions) looks like in practice? They just don’t happen. How many abortion providers are willing to test the law? How many pregnant people are able to get a police report necessary to be exempted? How many abortion providers are even practicing in states with rape exceptions to their otherwise strict abortion laws?

Arguing about what exceptions should or should not be on the books is a distraction. It’s only service is to placate the general public into accepting barbaric abortion bans.

Rosana by Wax, very catchy song. “What’s my mother fucking name!?”

I was mostly looking for details to indicate the person was real. Got 8/10. Someone had an odd tooth, someone else’s eyebrow hair looked like they had just woken up. There was one picture I immediately knew was AI, because it just seemed off. Another had some strange wrinkle texture on the neck that just seemed unnatural. One of the 2 I got wrong because I thought the eye wrinkles were too much for the rest of the face. Turned out to be a real person.

In your Western scenarios, I don’t think it would be anywhere near a clean getaway most of the time. Horses do tend to behave differently for different riders. A very well trained horse may handle the new rider better, but most horses tend to test new riders. The first couple rides on a new to you horse is both a learning experience and a power struggle. You don’t know exactly how that horse was trained, and the horse usually wants to see what it can get away with. You might find out the owner doesn’t use some standard cues, and the horse might just take advantage of it get irritated with the confusion.

They know who their people are. In your scenarios, it’s likely the horse only has one rider. Trying to hop on without it’s person there is going to confuse it. If you are good with horses and it’s trained in a conventional way, you’ll have a better chance at gaining control quickly. I still wouldn’t imagine galloping off immediately… That’s going to take time.

I really don’t know with the shooting dead question. If owner does a lot of yelling before/after the shooting, I don’t see it ending well. No arguing before hand, one clean shot to the head - might be more dependant on if the horse is gun trained. I know horses that couldn’t care less about fireworks and gunfire but will throw you over a plastic shopping bag blowing across the field or because she heard a noise coming from “that scary tree”.

I don’t know a good way to judge a horses temperament at a glance. You can get an idea of what kind of mood they’re currently in fairly quickly though. You can look at their muscle build and get an idea of how much they’re worked and if your good an idea of what kind of work. Different muscles will be toned differently depending on what they’re used for.

Hope that helps!

Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it’s necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, “Russia shouldn’t be invading Ukraine”, but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like “I’m talking about the government, not the people.”

On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.

The adjustable base is a game changer! Helps with my heart burn and my husband’s snoring. Also, I’m sick rn, so have been watching a lot of tv in bed. Being able to adjust to more of a sitting position is awesome.

Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say ‘stop calling it that’?

I think pouring the dip over would make it a salad.

I don’t know about cheese fries being a salad. I think a salad needs at least 2 ingredients not including dressing/garnish. So you’d need to do cheese fries with like fried peppers too make it a warm potato salad.

I would say the important distinction is in presentation. Was it a bowl of onion and cucumber mixed together with ranch? If so salad. Was it a plate with a pile of cucumber and a pile of onion, with ranch for dipping? If so crudites.

I’m on kbin exclusively now, with the exception of a couple weeks ago. I was looking for exceptional rock shops near where I was visiting. Wanted suggestions/reviews from the more geological geared, and specifically not metaphysical/crystal shops. Reddit was the best resource for my purpose.

That said, I believe the fediverse can become a similar resource. For the time being, there just isn’t a large enough, or old enough library of information to draw from. Given time this should change, but for now Reddit still fills certain types of needs that other areas of the internet cannot.

Found their website. They use a lot of flowery words, but I think you sum it up pretty well.

I agree. There are plenty of people conflating issue 1 and abortion rights, but the reality is issue 1 had nothing to do with abortion rights. I don’t think this is a Democrat win, nearly as much as it’s being portrayed. Plenty of R’s voted it down on it’s own merit. LaRose was certainly pushing it to prevent an abortion rights win in November, but after his push to eliminate special elections (not to mention what the proposal actually said) folks across the political spectrum saw it for the power grab it was. Wanting to keep a path for citizen led ballot initiatives does not equal wanting to enshrine abortion rights.

These things tend to happen when hanging out with Kazan Smedry.

That looks phenomenal! I’ve made ragu once, but yours puts it to shame. Mine only had pork.

I’ll definitely be looking for a finished product! Are you simmering overnight?

Yeah, just found the post again. Checked it out yesterday before OOP added the edits. I’m happy they clarified some things, but now it just seems boring lol.

Someone yesterday posted a question: Will be in a confined place for 3 days, cannot poop in that time, and will have to limit urination. What can I eat that won’t make me poop/will inhibit pooping, would be great if the food reduced sweating too. Don’t ask why.

Edit: found it!
