Yeah, but it's the only part of the subcontinent I've personally visited, and I'm not comfortable with just sending medical supplies to some place I haven't seen.


If you insist on India, I did visit the museum of the Cellular Jail on the Andaman Islands—I could try and find out if there's a hospital there, even though all I saw was the museum, a lumber mill, and a cricket pitch.

DM me copy of the proof toddler-Joe had diapers and everything, and I'll put your name on the shipment I send to Lions General Hospital in Chittogram, Bangladesh--otherwise, I'll put down that it's from @cjet79.

Now I can understand that a resurrected vampire might find it novel or even contentious to think that increasing the incidence of psychopathic traits across the population might be undesirable.




But can you turn that one-sentence pitch into a 12-page treatment in time for lunch next Tuesday with Mr. Penn?  (And Wednesday with Mr. Cage, the safety school of Hollywood Productions.)

Were I that dude in the black sweater The Truman Show guy, not Steve Jobs, I would want to create a double-blind study of 1,200 babies, half raised in a world where man-woman marriage is the unquestioned norm and half raised in a world where guy-guy stuff has social capital: then come back 50 years later and see which one had better outcomes.  Because clearly being raised in world that's conflicted about it is worse than either one of those.


Do we have the compute to run an experiment like that on AI babies?


Are we in a simulation hypothesis computer as a control group for an experiment like that?


Will becoming aware of that be an error that whatever is running the experiment writes "tainted - discard from study" on the universe and throws it in a biohazard bag?

Getting whipped in the house actually has a very different meaning in thr U.K. due to the English moral traditions.


The British sex scandal  anthology series on Amazon is currently in production on season three, AFAIK.

I mean what would anyone have to say to that which would save the moment for decorum.




Among English speakers, I generally use body language, facial expressions, and context clues to send the message I am not a person who is concerned with decorum. Please feel free to depart.


I do hope that sentiment was able transcend the language barrier whilst I was stationed in Japan. The protests against our presence always represented a minority of the electorate; with luck, the participants were all political instead of personal.

They had a great habit of casting against type. In the season four premier, one character says of another "maybe Mao isn't so bad if he works for you."


Mao is played by Nathan Lane.

They'll never call you baka gaijin to your face, but I used to get laughs* by putting watashi wa in front of it.


*Astonishment is the same as amusement, according to the class Sailors have to attend before they give us plane tickets over.

Good to have you back! Your Cali legislative updates were always helpful to this San Diegan. (A relatively recent arrival, I only had the one chance to punch a ballot with Angelyne's name on it.  And actually punched the box to vote for her, too, because that recall was weird.)


I'm glad to see the YIMBY movement is gaining strength; and that Ron DeSantis quip is funny as all hell.

Don't apologize--I was trying to be clever, which is always a hit-or-miss endeavor.


Anyway, my question is: how do you count what percentage of women in, say, America have the sort of relationship you describe? How does OP?  Because both of you describe things that do happen, but how often they happen is very, very difficult to count.  The only place I can even think to look is the GSS, and I can't find any questions on there that really seem germane.

Okay, look, I'm not saying you're posting in the wrong place; however, if you weren't a staff writer on "The Good Wife," that's Julianna Margolis's loss.


But how do you get from a compelling (even Emmy-winning) story that describes an extremely plausible series of events to being able to present evidence that what you describe is more or less confidence to what OP described, or any other type of interpersonal relationship?

Man, the one about keeping an eye on CPA was a huge part of my life for about three and a half years.  We had a really thin standing orders binder, but the night orders always included the line about CPA and surface contacts.

I've put a hold on this at my local library and am looking forward to it!  It turns out my father is more into the futbol these days, so we're not talking as much about the world series as I expected, but I think he'll appreciate this book. Thanks for the suggestion!  I  would say that when you recommended it ... it was not an error.

I use the same federal subsidy and have asked the major providers here in California (Lifeline and NET10 wireless) for flip-phones—they only offer cheap android smartphones (or even tablets).  Can you tell me the name of your provider so I can get a flip phone too?

The only flagship phone I ever owned was Hawei's, purchased just a few weeks before the spying scandal broke, and never actually used for phone calls.  Feature wise, the new Pixels have just barely caught up, and that's not counting the IR blaster with built in universal remote app


And it's not that your liver is "suffering," so much as "used to the fullest" or maybe "done it's duty when called upon."

Agreed: I certainly get the sense whoever wrote that description would get along well with a friend in California who knows what to say to get a medical weed card, and can refer you to physicians to whom to say it.

Is no one else interested in Bob Menendez?




Well, some of us remember him being played by Chris Noth in The Good Wife, so we already know which plot twists are  coming.


Pretty ironic that Trump ended up pardoning Eli Gold, though.

Yeah, the government loans incentivized enrolling as many students as possible. And 100 other ways.


This was very successful at keeping 18-24 olds out of the workforce, and thus far had had no negative consequences on the LFRP.

When I saw read that comment, I asked myself 'is that the nickname of a public figure I don't recognize?' and not 'is that the screen-name of a Mottean I don't see on this thread?'


I think Amdan's point was that the comment is "bringing up" more than "pushing back", but what I want to add is that even with the mod message, the comment still totally reads as "a mild an entirely appropriate joke about 2Cimafara, which is the name of a Podcase or maybe one of the people who was British Prime Minister last year."


You might not consider that effective as mockery. I consider this something I need to post now so I can see it next time I'm scrolling through my comment history thinking, 'wasn't there a podcast I wanted to check out?' I have a clear reminder to stop.


I absolutely understand if someone wants to mock me for that, but I'll waste 30 minutes next time Blocked and Reported drops looking otherwise.
