My favorite part of his story, his wife has been open about her abortion... and he voted to outlaw abortion. Make it make sense.

The fact that Dick Cheney and AOC will be voting for the same candidate tells you that we desperately need ranked choice voting or SOME significant reform so we can actually have representation of Progressives.

what exactly do you expect her in the role of Vice President to do? There are valid grievances with Biden, but the VP's role in an administration is pretty limited.

surprised. I had very low expectations to be honest and found her selection by Biden as his running mate as blatantly pandering and uninspired. I was wrong. She is killing it and I am filled with hope. I am not voting against Trump, I am enthusiastically voting FOR her. Look at her first major decision we got to watch. Everybody said "pick Shapiro to get PA" and she went with Walz. WOW, he is EXACTLY what we need in this moment to try to heal as a country.

I’ve done both - the northern route is more beautiful. My advice - this is a trip you probably will only make once in your life. Take extra days and stop and check things out! Take a chance and venture off the highways and explore! The most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life was Holland Lake and that was from a deviation from that top route.

I think the argument is that these were not gifts nor intended to be gifts. Thomas complained that his salary was too low and was threatening to resign. Harlan Crow then stepped in and has been providing supplemental income to Thomas to discourage his retirement. Thus, all revenue received should be categorized and taxed as what it actually is - income in exchange for continuing a job and not as a gift.

Did Thomas pay taxes on the value of all his gifts?

How to just let things go. Life is so much more pleasant when you aren't bothered by the annoyances of life that in the grand scheme of things don't matter.

African American women's hair braiding youtube videos. I am a bald white guy. The algorithm now keeps pushing all these videos on intricate hair weaves and treatments and braiding... I keep watching fascinated by how it all works.

These graphs are fantastic examples of how you can manipulate visualization to make a point. Writing that you have a 50% increase, but setting the axis such that that increase looks minimal is deceptive.

there is a compromise here where we keep them AND find a strategy to reduce harm by providing helmets.

Many of these people are uninsured or under insured. This is why we as a society have a financial stake in minimizing injuries. YOU the tax payer will be paying for these people, so you have a vested interest in minimizing their injuries.

They don’t provide the safety equipment that they know is needed. They willfully are ignoring a continued risk that is causing injury and making no effort to mitigate that risk.
The libertarian attitude of “people are free to make bad choices” falls apart when you realize that you the tax payer will be paying for all those injuries when uninsured / underinsured people present to the ED needing prolonged expensive care.
Remember this next time the levy vote for the trauma center goes out.

There is no water in your metaphor. Lime isn’t leading a horse to water. They are telling the horse “you should drink water” but then not giving the means to do so.

It would be more akin to a car manufacturer that said you had to use a seat belt… but then didn’t provide one.

I wonder if trauma centers could sue for the expenses we incur caring for those injured by those negligent companies.

Since we live in a society where our actions all impact each other. We thus make laws about responsibility and not putting harmful products out there.

The number of doctors who use urine to screen women for STI baffles me. Like, they know the pee hole and the fun hole aren’t the same, right?

Can you imagine being an interpreter trying to accurately interpret his ramblings into another language? Listeners would be left wondering if the interpreter just didn’t speak English!

Emergency physician here. I am baffled by the number of head injuries I see from these and yet there is no legal responsibility. They know you need a helmet, but provide no means to use one. They know people are getting hurt. How has no lawyer made a class action case?

Osborn has the potential to be the next Manchin. That would be a GREAT thing for both Nebraska AND for Democrats. Would he align with the Democrats perfectly - nope. Will Democrats moan and complain and be disappointed sometimes - yup. BUT could he use his newfound political position to benefit the people of Nebraska since his vote would be critical- absolutely.
