I saw that in my feed and thought, "because it's a needless pain in the ass most of the time unless it has utility?"

When every man and woman had to wear a hat whenever they went out and those hats did very little to do things like keep them warm or cool (especially women's hats)... what's the fucking point?

Also...

Her daughter, Terri Napier, said in a phone interview she believes part of her parents’ opposition to the clinic is from watching her struggle about 20 years ago. She was in an abusive relationship with someone who has since died. She got pregnant. The family was fearful of bringing a child into the situation.

I would have gotten an abortion too. Maybe it isn't the healthiest relationship to be in. Especially if she spiraled into drug use afterward. She might blame the abortion for her drug use, but I seriously doubt it.

And is in Britain. My grandmother used to have it imported to the U.S. after she emigrated and read it every week.

Ergonomic chairs are also a solution to an often self-inflicted problem. Mainly doing all kinds of things to your body when you're young that you don't realize you'll regret when you're older.

Are ergonomic chairs a bad thing?

The most relevant part of the article, to me, has not been quoted:

This week, the judge heard statements from the deceased’s family, who said there had been contact in a stairwell between the neighbors on Dec. 21, 2001 — when the defendant would already have known she had COVID-19. But she denied the meeting, saying she was too sick to get out of bed that day. She also said she believed she had bronchitis, which she typically gets every year.

But the woman’s doctor told police that the defendant had tested positive with a rapid test and told him that she “certainly won’t let herself be locked up” after the result.

Seems pretty open-and-shut to me. If she had something like drug-resistant TB, there would be no question here.

I'm sure that money couldn't be better spent. It's not like there are hundreds of millions of Indians living in horrific levels of poverty.

And that is pretty much just a ripoff of the movie The Running Man.

For those who want to know, the original title was "10 Little N----s." Yes, really.

Indoctrinating kids, forcibly conscripting people, sending anyone who crosses you to the gulags...

Just grow the big mustache and smoke the pipe, Vlad.

Yes, we all know how Fox News and NPR collude...

Russia's Medvedev doesn't understand that even without massive retaliation for doing that... wind is a thing.

There are versions of this video synced up to Michael Jackson's Thriller, but this is the original music.

Edit: Shit, linked to the wrong video.
