Sounds like they just didn't want the baby. I wonder if this couple even knew that Arkansas has a Safe haven/ Safe surrender thing they could've done?

Support GOG! Fuck DRM! Own your shit!

Was it actually damaged? Seems like the only damage done was to the frame.

It would be nice to implement stuff like one of the voting systems under the broader ranked choice voting umbrella first before getting rid of the electoral college.

Tbf, she says she supports ending the filibuster. Whether or not she can do it or convince enough senators to do so is another thing entirely.

Might be able to do that by extending the responsibilities of the secret service for such things. Or having the NSA on top of that shit.

I wonder if someone here is willing to create some account on there and start archiving what he says.

This is not exactly the case. "It can be used for combat" does not necessarily mean "it's the best/ideal/ready for combat". I would stress readily that if you are in the west, Judo and or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are good for grappling arts. For striking arts Muay Thai is great! Some alternatives are sanda or dutch kickboxing. Though I'm not too sure on availability of Sanda schools in the west. If you really want to go the Chinese martial arts route, Choy Li Fut is a good style, and has supposedly gone toe to toe with Muay Thai on a few occasions.

Yes, I think scale is typically what determines strength of control upon individuals. Cults are smaller and thus any charismatic cult leader can exert greater control on his small flock. The larger your religion gets though, the less likely the leader himself can micromanage and exert control, thus leading to the delegation of responsibilities and power.

It's good as a form of physical meditation. Supposedly some speculate taichi may have been a training art for actual practical grappling arts like shuai jiao.

Literally 40k inquisition logic wtf.

I think the "bulletproof" claims are vastly over hyped. It can block 9mm and that's about it. Rifle rounds can easily penetrate it lol.
