Double nope: coin tumblers make it a random collection of coins rather than traceable coins from Russia or China.

criminalizing drugs again and locking dealers in prison
Good news: they are currently illegal to possess and dealers get locked up. That's true almost everywhere in the US, Portland and Seattle excluded.

At first I was hungry, then it went away. It takes a couple weeks to get used to it.

I've founded skipping breakfast and having a light lunch to be great. You are less hungry all day.

Armstrong and Getty like her, but they admit the debates and primary are a waste of time given Trump's enormous lead.

I believe population pyramids are largely interpolations or projections from few and far between official censuses or best guesses. Had the war not occurred presumably this one would be a reasonable approximation.
But whoops, it's lacking some recent demographic changes in Ukraine.

Some of those emails are clearly a code for something. Weird shit along the lines of "but we only have one slice of cheese pizza available, will that be enough for everyone tonight?" They aren't talking about a literal slice of pizza. But why document some sort of conspiracy or presumably criminal acts by email using jivey coded language?
I don't think they would have any need to to order coke by email. I also doubt they are Satan worshipping pedophiles. I don't get it.

This is actually interesting. What would you propose is a reasonable translation?

For correctly stating that the answer depends on the context or other actions but this isn't inherently forbidden by school policy? I don't suppose so. I don't think anyone is getting convicted for merely stating legalistic technically true answers.

I'm going to leap to the defense of frog legs. I've had them in America and in China and they were good both times. If you like eating chicken meat off the bone, it's the same thing.
I am much less enthused about the pig kidneys and intestines that I ate. No thank you. That should be fed to dogs.

The premise here is the claim that sexual predilections are not subject to therapy or conditioning. So in the narrow context of sexuality you can't cure pedophiles or "cure" gay people through conversion therapy.
I don't mean this as fully general advocacy of thoughtcrime.

Not every slope is slippery. Pedophiles are reviled in a much different manner than internet contrarians. Some guy posting about how he votes libertarian isn't in danger of imprisonment.
We can make new laws. If sexual predilections are not influenced by therapy or conditioning, then it could be made a legal requirement to hold child molesters in prison for many decades or for them to be involuntarily committed.
In other contexts people can be involuntarily held on the say so of a cop or a psychiatrist. If they are a likely danger. I don't want thought crimes, but being a pedophile is a real danger to children. This is not inherently legally impossible.

I looked through the first page of Darwin's reddit profile and it is fine. Not clearly a troll.
But I do recall them being one of the more dramatic contrarian-against-the-local-contrarians on the old subreddits.

This is my most hated "feature". If I slightly miss a finger press it minimizes everything or loads a different page rather than posting my comment. It's so fragile.

If I fat finger press the left portion of a comment it minimizes the comment chain. Can only the top level post minus symbol minimize a comment chain?
This is literally the Pharisees in John 8:5. You are now quoting the Pharisees and advocating their view in plain opposition to Jesus.
Which I guess is fine in some non-Christian sense. But both Christians and modern Jews don't follow these rules. And Christians can point to Jesus dunking on the people who tried to "gotcha" him with the laws of Moses.
