In a country that (theoretically/ideally) recognizes the rule of law, isn't lawyer brain the right brain to have in this case?

I understand and agree with the frustration, but let's not let perfect be the enemy of good and get discouraged because this wasn't everything we wanted. It's a tiny baby step, but it's movement in the right direction. The fight goes on.

Is it time for one of these threads again? I guess it has been a while.

People who are intolerant of other people's culture and the Dutch.

Hopefully The Atlantic will decline to print his story if this is all it comes down to. Either way, I guess it will be just another useless opinion piece. I do actually subscribe to The Atlantic but for the investigative journalism and culture pieces. As we've discussed before here many times, opinion pieces are generally trash.

Do you happen to remember what the article is called? I'd like to read it and complain, if so.

Except that millions of others will be impacted in the crossfire, proverbial or literal.

Bloody ingrate. Better return him. Happy Father's Day to all fathers here! I thank Buddha I'm not one of you.

Ranting and preaching to the choir here, I know, but my god is this so infuriating. What evidence can you show to people who don't believe in evidence? What logic can you use with people who don't believe in logic?

Two questions: Are the governor and Ted Cruz good friends? Has anyone checked any flights to Cancun?

@CastlevaniaNut18 Awesome, I love perusing other people's books. Very impressive collection! Yours puts mine to shame, but here is what I've got:

My sister is actually in an episode of The Orville as a background alien so I really want to watch, but I refuse to pay for Hulu. Sorry, sis.

Yeah but... mah freedumbs. I'm on day four or so and it feels to me like I have a mild cold with maybe a tiny bit more tiredness. Yeah, science.

Just one, a Visa that I've had since 2003.

I think once I recover, I will go back to wearing a mask. I'm not necessarily afraid of COVID itself (so far at least it has been very mild for me as I said, being vaxxed and boosted) but I'm more wanting to 1) avoid recurring infection and the subsequent down time and 2) avoid long-term consequences which are unknown at this point.

It's so much better knowing that his name is "Cookie Mosher".

Thanks, so far my symptoms have been pretty mild; slight loss of taste, some mild achiness, and a slight cough. My sister feels terrible that a couple people got sick at her wedding, but I've just been telling her that 1) we all know what the risks are these days and 2) everyone has had a pretty mild case so far.

Yeah, it was foolish to let my guard down, I fully admit. For one weekend I wanted to pretend like COVID didn't exist, and now I'm paying for it.

I have been, yeah. I was the only one at work that was still wearing one. I went to my sister's wedding this past weekend and didn't wear a mask because everyone was vaccinated and tested negative before. Just tested positive today.

Whelp, just tested positive for COVID. I'm supposed to start my new job on Monday, so I guess that will be delayed.

Yeah I was born in Iowa and grew up in Idaho, only leaving for Germany when I was about 25.

What's my take? I get irrationally annoyed any time I have to hear about it.

Freedumb.
