This is why cats are so great, they're like the grumpy, sarcastic character in a book or movie that turns out to have a heart of gold....or be an evil psychopath.

As a Finnish mother, I can confirm this. And we have a long, paid maternity leave and can stay at home with the child until they're 3 years old - also paid. That's why I love paying taxes. And have free education and healthcare here while we're at it.

We studied them in High School, many, many years ago. Fascinating. No one in the town blinks an eye when it happens and the subject just carry on as boys into adulthood, marry and have children. It was deemed one female ancestor great, great, great grandmother passed the faulty gene on.

Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, …and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. R’amen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

They did this so that when the Dalai Lama dies, the government can veto any new Dalai Lama the Tibetans pick, if they dn't like them. It is pure religious persecution. #freetibet

That does NOT look like a home set up. Though I think this is a fair enough step, I can see that the law will soon be abused by the money hungry.

My take: Either transgender athletes complete in the division dictated by their DNA, or athletic competitions set up a separate divisions for trans athletes. I'm not saying that's the solution, but I hope that gets brain cells firing to find one.

Yeah...sorry. I'm not sure I want to give a shout out to someone who reacts violently to having a cup of ice dumped on them 🤔 By all means...yell, curse, have a dance fight, but out the window is a bit too far.

Unless you are a fundamentalist (for this read mostly 'mental) Christian in the USA today who think the World was created 8000 years ago or something ....... How can so many supposedly educated people be so stupid / delusional ? Ah, religion, that's how !!

I was born in Chennai. There’s a statue of him near some park. I believe my parents told me that he fought some child labor laws or something. If that’s the case then his popularity is well deserved

If anyone's wondering why this hasn't been done yet: 1. That's a metric sh*t-ton of solar panels - roughly 10 times the number of solar panels in use today around the globe 2. Unworkable, since the desert moves, the sands shift, there's nothing to anchor the panels to 3. You'd need an army of people to clean the panels every day - where are you going to house them? 4. You'd need the combined output of every cable company in the world for the next 15 years to wire it all up

Where does one apply for such a position? Asking for the gamer whose dad hired other gamers to kill his son's character.

What blows my mind is that he had 15 kids and the first was born in 1815 and died in 1847 but the last was born in 1860 and died in 1947. His oldest and youngest died 100 years apart. It hurts my brain.
