Americans are increasingly concerned about Donald Trump’s age and fitness as dictator

I don’t want to go back to cleaning mouse balls.

About half were wiped out by flu, measles, and chicken pox when contact was made in the 80s.

If you can show supporters of a populist that everyone else is jumping ship, they will too.

Is that what he was saying in Mario 64? “So long, Gary Bowser!”

This should be sufficient. Everything from the ‘?’ on is unnecessary.

It’s seems that way from the inside, too.

Previously, Manchin and Sinema opposed ending the filibuster. Manchin opposed codifying Roe v Wade.

Is Oregon going forward with an RCV referendum? Or are we talking about the STAR voting initiative voted on recently?

The first Qur’an was written within two years of Muhammads death. The Qur’an was standardized under caliph Uthman several years later, and all other copies were ordered to be burned or buried, or however one would respectfully retire a holy book. The closest English word for Qur’an is generally regarded to be ‘recitations’, as it was not originally meant to be a text. So, to maintain the integrity of the Suras (chapters, sort of), each one was required to be verified by multiple independent witnesses. Written Arabic was even elaborated to include information about how it was to be read (literally read aloud, not interpreted).

The relative speed with which this all occurred meant that some of these sources were indeed very close to Muhammad during his life. His wife A’i’sha, for example. Still, you can raise doubts by pointing out that the Suras may not have survived oral transmission fully in-tact, or that changes may have occurred over the 20+ year gap between Muhammads death and it’s final transcription, and indeed many scholars do. I believe there is some degree of variation in manuscripts and sources.

But the general view among believers is that the Qur’an is the literal, unadulterated word of God, and we know that great care was taken to preserve it.

Not an expert, just took an Intro to the Qur’an course.

WHO-OA BLACK BETTY!

It was a really poor design decision making it look so much like the ‘other-destruct’ button

Poppycock.

Cool here’s the rest of it

“It really is, and it is real, but the fact is that if you take a look at what people have, they have the money to spend. It angers them and it angers me that you have to spend more. For example, the whole idea of this notion that you have… shrinkflation… It’s like 20% less for the same price, that is corporate greed. It is corporate greed and we’ve got to deal with it.”

Let me guess: Front trunk? Please tell me I’m wrong.

They know it’s happening. They’re responsible for it. At this point I don’t see much of a difference if they intended this or not.

Jesus Christ, it’s like they made a new RoboCop out of the girl from The Ring

Ah, fuck I miss the goons, too. I still log in every couple of years or so. It’s sort of like walking down a street you used to live on. It’s all still familiar, but nothing is really the same.
