They make sailboat yachts too, there’s a whole show on bravo about it.

I’m American and I always get a chuckle from the adoration that people have over raccoons as well. I guess they’re cute but they’re also a menace, there’s a reason we call them “trash pandas”.
But I also went to Spain several years back and saw my first hedgehog. And it was even in a hedge! I took probably two dozen photos and the locals thought I was crazy. So I get it.
Well first off, being a man is not an immutable characteristic, because transgender people exist.
Second, the difference between the two groups you bring up isn’t relevant in this comparison, because pointing out the differences between them doesn’t negate the similarities. Both are groups with an inordinate amount of power (physical or legal) over any outgroup and are supported by cultural norms that allow them to exercise that power largely without repercussions. Both groups are also protected from consequences by others within the group, regardless if the others agree with their questionable decisions. And most importantly, both groups are human, meaning the individuals vary widely within the group along the moral spectrum. Even if most within the group are good, bad actors will always exist and there’s no way to know which one you’re dealing with at face value.
Even if it’s not a perfect comparison, it’s apt enough to support my point.
It’s also amazing how people can have this argument in one thread and then go to another thread and leave a comment that just says “ACAB”.
You don’t trust cops? Why not? Because of a few bad apples?
Sounds like you get it…
Even better, find a picture of what you want, keep it on your phone, and show it to your barber
My gf’s 2020 Tuscon didn’t, and of the cars I’ve seen and window-shopped online you have to add a “smoker’s kit” as an option. They usually still have the 12VDC port for charging but it don’t come with the lil fire pop stick no more
There’s probably top secret documents floating around a lot of his golf courses….
“Caddy, go see what’s blocking the 8th hole…”
“Sir, it appears to be a bunched up partial list of CIA operatives in Egypt.”
“Well, remove it! I’m under par. Mulligan!”
All the golf courses, including Bedminster.
This stuff? Comes in 1 lb or 2 lbs logs? Maybe a different brand or packaging?
Idk what you call it but I’ve seen it at Acme now.
This is an American problem, but I discovered Amish butter a while back and haven’t looked back.
It has a slightly higher fat content closer to European butter (85% vs 80% for the regular store stuff), so everything you make tastes better. Eggs, cookies, steak, potatoes- it improves them all. I can get it fairly easy from a local co-op and it’s the same price as regular butter, but that depends on where you are in the country.
The scope and visibility of the case is important, as well. Complex cases require lots of lawyers with different specialties to look at it from different angles.
Similar in engineering, you want more engineers working on a really big and complex project than just one person. I worked with a firm back in the day that designed a stadium - they had a whole floor of their HQ devoted to engineers who only worked on that project.
Well I live in Philadelphia, and just in the decade I’ve been here, I’ve seen some shit.
The unsolved Hitchbot murder, and then a local radio station’s attempt to repair our good name before the Pope arrived.
The dumpster pools in Kensington.
When the Eagles won the Super Bowl and chaos ensued. I can’t find any source on this in particular, but my gf and I agree we heard on the police scanners that a giraffe had been freed from the zoo and was running down Girard.
Drumline Elmo, who has become as big a celebrity in the city as Gritty.
Gritty, who is a national hero in our eyes.
All of which doesn’t even factor in the everyday life crazy. This place is wild, and I’m all for it.
If he wins it’ll probably officially be renamed “Pennsyltucky”

Give him a break, he can’t remember if he told us before
To add to that- it’s nearly impossible to lose American citizenship against one’s will. If you were born a citizen or earned it later, you will likely remain a citizen until you die, unless you give it up.
Even Jefferson Davis died an American citizen.
I ain’t seen you round here, stranger…
Ditto. Respect for anyone who not only knows two languages well enough to explain one in the other, but is willing to share that knowledge.
And once again, the goalposts move back…
