If they dissolved when you ate them don’t worry, you probably just ate corn that wasn’t processed in a way intended for human consumption 👍

Oh yeah, him and Alito both have been big mad about it for ages now.

The way I’ve read ornithologists describe it, it’s that they hold their head steady to focus on prey, and then bring their feet in line with their head to line them up as accurately as possible with the prey. They usually try to wait as long as possible to move their feet up, so that they can maintain their more streamlined shape and reduce drag.

You joke, but if you want to see something similar for real gannets are great for diving in unison.

I often have nightmares (yay PTSD!), the last bad one I had was about a week ago. It was about my sister being scared and me not being able to get in contact with her or help her. My husband woke me up 3 different times from that one because I’d keep yelling in my sleep, which happens at least a couple of times a month and sometimes a few times a week.

I’ve been in therapy and am on meds, there’s just not a magic bullet unfortunately.

Conservative (and let’s be real, also neoliberal) Christians hate that verse. There are so few places in the NT where Jesus explicitly says “you will go to hell for this,” and that’s one of them. They get extremely uncomfortable if you make them think about how they believe they will one day have to stand in front of God and explain why they ignored this verse.

So naturally I advocate bringing it up to them as much as possible. There actually are a lot of deeply Christian people who are disturbed by the dissonance there, and for the most part the messaging just isn’t happening. Like, what is the biggest Jesus advertisement campaign right now? Probably the ~~Protestant Buddy Jesus~~ “He gets us” campaign, which doesn’t really say much of anything.

AFAIK gay marriage is still legal in all states. Weirdly that’s one they haven’t been able to crack.

That doesn’t really do much for the other 49 states + DC or say anything meaningful about the decision itself.

You seem to be overlooking that SCOTUS specifically ruled that it is constitutional to charge homeless people $300 for falling asleep outside with a blanket, which is what the thread was about.

The article and ruling isn’t about Portland, it’s about Grants Pass.

At the center of the case is Grants Pass, a city of roughly 40,000 in southern Oregon with ordinances that bar camping or sleeping on public property or in city parks. The city's rules define "campsite" as "any place where bedding, sleeping bag, or other material used for bedding purposes, or any stove or fire is placed."

As far as I can find their ordinance has no such exceptions.

And how does charging a homeless person $300 for falling asleep outside with a blanket fix any of that?
