Covid hungover. Everyone saw these numbers on web services, streaming, gaming, etc and thought they miss an opportunity to milk it for double, or that their product is just too essential now to quit. That confidence just sped up the degradation.
Besides funny rituals invloving deities, what is material in neoliberal capitalistic world is that there are various exclusive legal rights for partners over property, in labor forces, over child upbringing and in other fields. A select group of heterosexual partners who co-signed and keeps that deal with church/gvmnt gets a different treatment and some benefits no other party gets. It sounds petty and surreal to hold belief this custom should exist for that whole group but not +2% percents who are not heterosexual.
Single people, single parents, partners not married are way larger groups that are to look into discussing the marriage privelege. There can be no logical reason into pushing LGBTQ+ folks out but, emh, being more occupied with their personal live than their own. And with how many legalized gay marriage are in her state, there'd probably more court clerk involved into reviewing her whining than there are actual married gays, portraying how relevant and/or significant her problem with them.
For both law and market it isn't reasonable to generate subcategories that small, as they seek the most optimized approach in classificating clients. While the state would instinctively want to calculate owned taxes as clear as possible, the market would feel ganked on for it doesn't know what to do there, like, they need to invent new flavors of rings and decorations for incorrectly wed people? It is unreasonable to say the least, I bet they would still sell the same rings for hetero pairs and it would only lead into a spiral of moral-inspired lawsuits.
I don't feel that person can be involved in any discussion about gay people. I'm not a gay person myself but I have a gay friend so I get it naturally. Sorry for rambling, I was farming for my second diamond hoe while dictating it.
I don't find democracy flawed by itself, but it is nothing but a cherished and fragile balance that gets watered down and coopted if not constantly maintained.
Coexisting with other opinions is a work that doesn't end once you get there, and natural foes of it like corporative lobbies, career politicians and now again pointless populists are always there to dismantle whatever was built. It being 'a thing to fight for' is reduced to a movie cliche, but it does, unlike feudal caste elite-guided medieval shit, require that effort at all times. Erosion of that understanding leads to what we can see today.
Sharing culture and integration can start right now, and it spontaniously happens on it's own if not put down, but the same rightwing people would likely draw another isolated Israel on the map than break the barriers from their own side, than accept other people as equals and discuss.
Interesting news but where are the listings? One can be anywhere on political spectrum and still wanting it, with a premium. Blasting things from the audio equipment previosly owned by DPRK is bleeding edge flex no matter what.
I think that a lot of sudden changes could've got in the way of that theory, e.g. russian revolution in that case, that caused yesterday prols and low end nobles to get behind the wheel at random.
Instead, I think the elites gravitate towards excessive and taboo modes of consumption due to growing unmoved by regular stuff. In Epstein case it could've worked as a ritual of initiation to some sort of a secret society too - hence the most popular process of the century gets stopped at every turn. But this way or another it's nothing like a tradition carried over centuries, but more like a sort of degeneracy each generation comes to by itself - may it be for dibs on the wicked island, or for their own monstrocity.
Kissing a random kid and doing it in the stomach is not common even in the countryside across many cultures he is not a part of. That was indeed a WTF moment but no one at the time gave it a second thought besides one guy who got poisoned in London not long after that allegation, but to be fair he made a lot of these after defecting.
The bits I used gamefaqs guides for (btw I love they are still there _) are rarely fun anyway. Mostly, it's achievement grinding or 100%ing. If the game itself needs a guide to navigate it, I usually just drop it. If it fails at informing me about it's mechanics that much it's not for me.
THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — A bomb explosion targeted the home of the president of the Greek association of prison guards early Saturday morning in the country’s north.
Varsamis has worked for many years at Diavata prison, west of Thessaloniki, known for housing many criminal gang members as well as convicted terrorists.
Two police officers said they are focusing their efforts on criminal gangs rather than terror groups. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not supposed to comment on an ongoing investigation. The police have already deposed Varsamis, they said.
The police’s Organized Crime Unit is leading the investigation.
They claim staff were removed from company communications such as Slack and email before human resources had even made contact to inform them whether they'd been let go.
The creative energy they put into inventing new reasons for gamedevs to hate their job could be better put in, like, games?
As a responsible father, he searched youtube for a video of how to clean the gun when you are around a toddler but got distracted by three 30 sec ads side by side. That's how it's happened, Your Majesty. My client is not at fault.
I've knew for years where KIA cars are from, but only know I've googled whose company Saab is (Sweden) - your post kinda made me curious where these two cars I've seen in my life were from. If OP isn't a car person or/and select brands are underrepresented in their area, they could've just as well suggested european Fjord 150 over Loisiana's Renault car or something akin to that.
I thought about what to comment there instead of just saying how cute this 'remember the person' post looks in the hostile modern internet, and then I recalled a couple of interactions where digital people in my app took their time and energy to explain me something. That's not reddit/twitter-rare, but it would be nice if it would happen even more often. And, taken out from this one moment's emotional state, I feel kinda bad later for a couple of interactions I had on this platform when I jumped onto assumptions or was in a combatative mood for nothing.
