I wish they were feuding. It sounds like Rogan is trying to sound smart and cautious and Trump is agreeing with what Rogan said and just changing the facts about the situation so it doesn't actually apply to him.
Guy was being an absolute creeper and you should have said "what the fuck?" But instead you did as you have been programmed and tried to maintain civility and not embaress the man who decided to harass you unprompted and continue when you gave the indication that you were uncomfortable.
You did nothing wrong here and now it's your fault because you are the woman in the exchange. Your sister would do welll to be an ally but if she doesn't want to you ought to ask her how many DM's her husband has sent out like that to other woman that she hasn't seen. Then tell her to fuck off, tell him to fuck off and block him on whatever platforms you share.
Fuck that's so infuriating.
I mean, to be fair to his voters, he didn't really give them much time to read it before the election....
I don't know how to enforce it, but written, costed, fully explained platforms should be mandatory to appear on a ballot, and they should be required a full 7+ days before the advance polls close.
In a sane world, noone would vote for a party that submits it's homework at the 11th hour, or not at all.
"well this sort of thing has never personally affected me so I'm not sure why you'd think I'd care. I can't possibly know every little thing about some fringe of society, and frankly, I'd rather not get into it. It sounds unpleasant. I'm sure this will all blow over in no time. I just have to refuse to educate myself or pay any attention to people like my 'dear' friend and their concerns."
You'll find a new one that will taste all the more sweet.
Or bitter, whatever. I don't drink coffee.
It will be worth it.
I was so relieved when I read that at least her mom was fucking from Honduras!!! That's the bar right now.
Did I think she was getting trafficked to El Salvador? I honestly wasn't sure considering the state of things right now.
Lots. Wait times are high, getting a family doctor is a Herculean task, getting refered to a specialist is a gauntlet of tasks with months/years wait.
Don't get me wrong, if you have an emergency, you'll be seen quickly and cared for by professionals. Cancer treatments, life threatening stuff, amazing care.
But trying to be proactive or deal with long standing but "minor" issues is... Well, very very difficult. And it's costly, because every appointment is a missed day/half day of work and gas/travel to said specialists, and you rarely get to choose when they happen.
So people who can afford it obviously want to skip the line. So politicians make excuses for why a private system actually helps the public one. You know, by stealing the talent away from the public system, reducing volume and therefore advocacy for the public system and many other problems.
That and US Pharma/private healthcare corporations would LOVE to be able to set up shop up here and suck us dry like they do their own.
I've been tempted on occasion to try and seek paid care for chronic quality of life issues that my doctor just doesn't have the time for. It took 6 years and 8 visits with 3-4 months between to try some over the counter crap the I had tried on my own but didn't work, but she wouldn't send the reference because "the specialist will just make you do this first, so at the very least when you get to them you can "skip" this..... Except I had to do it and wait without seeing someone who knew anything....
It's stuff I can live with, and with the work I do, getting a random day off isn't easy, so I go through "well it's fine" phases and then "no really I want this fixed". Phases. I have a friend who just went to the states (2 years ago) and had 6 appointments in a week and had all her concerns addressed, with followup phonecalls and another visit for one issue...
Why our system doesn't work better is because there is more money to be made (on a corporate ledger, not a "society actually saves money with healthy happy people" way) if it slowly fails and privatizes.
My thermostat came with the house and is older than me (before the birth of MTV)
I keep thinking I should update to save energy and whatever but why get on that treadmill?
Interesting! I must say I never considered it. My kia soul EV was heavy but handled very well. Loved that thing.
Monster. I won't eat anything that casts a shadow. It's not hard, perils are just lazy murderers.
? I don't know what that means.
You seem to be choosing the few people who were able to get a lawyer in time..... In your hypothetical, that is not guaranteed or even something I'd bet on. And you are also pointing out that they won't obey judges orders anyways so... I'm very confused as to what argument you think you are making.
Anyone who sees anyone being kidnapped should do their civic duty to stop it. Just because it suddenly seems to be government representatives that are doing the kidnapping now does not change that. You don't know which it is.
I do wonder how many people have already been disappeared with no cameras around and they are just "missing" according to their families who can't/don't want to go to the cops in case it was the cops all along.
What makes that spec a priority for you?
What in the hell is their excuse then?
I was assuming they'd buy the maximum quantities, like right up along the OD level.
If we were just looking to innoculate the population so people who needed it got their baseline levels.. We'd have a few decades supply leftover.
Lol. "Well I don't take criticism very well so there."
If I could bottle this man's confidence and sell it I could supply 30% of the world's population...
"My experience was easy so everyone else is wrong. Also those people wash their cast iron in the dishwasher."
Lol.
