I remember having BMI tests before training and once in boot camp, but not after I got to my first duty station. I was quite underweight when I was serving, but that was so long ago that I assumed they’d moved on to a better standard by now lol
It sounds like dipshit thinks BMI is a good standard for fitness measurement
My ornithology professor was absolutely livid when she learned I joked around in the “birds aren’t real” subreddit. Apparently people really took it seriously that birds are government drones, and illegally kill them. She even cited a case that was local to us where a man was killing harriers and owls due to paranoia
California did sue
Gavin absolute does love the drama and being in the news too, though
The bottom one is in Dutch
Aurelius Augustinus Belijdenissen
I assume the first one is too, but having a hard time making it out
Edit: top one is Mis En Vesperboek
I prefer plain sparkling water. No flavors or sweetener, just bubbles. Unfortunately my bladder doesn’t agree that it’s the best way to consume liquid, so now I’m dehydrated all the time because I can’t convince myself to just drink still water like a normal human
The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration
Anti-Villains are somewhat the opposite of Anti-Heroes. While the Anti-Hero often fights on the side of good, but with questionable or selfish motives and methods; the Anti-Villain plays a villain’s game, but for a noble cause, or with respectable qualities, in a way that the audience or other characters can sympathize with. They may be more noble or heroic than an Anti-Hero, but the means to achieve their ends are often considered exploitative, immoral, unjust, or just evil.

So characters like Magneto or Poison Ivy
I can never decided if Thomas or Roberts is worse. Sometimes I think Roberts has some standards, just exceptionally low/evil ones. While Thomas seems completely bought and paid for
It’s especially fun if your name is similar to a comic character that you don’t care for
Source: have a name that’s similar to an anti-villain
Edit: y’all are cracking me up!
Gotta narrow it down more than that. Can’t let Catholics or Mormons slide in on the lawmaking either!
Weird, all I’ve ever heard about is how high the suicide rate is among trans people, nothing about murder rate.
Also weird to consider “trans rights are human rights” to be nihilistic (Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals)
Edit: I meant as in trans people murdering other people. Trans people are overwhelmingly victims of violence than perpetrators
What a weird choice to replace Charlie. Like, the man used to be gay until conservatives turned on him over it, he’s catholic, worked for Nick Fuentes (Kirk’s nemesis) and Ye, and he’s not even American.
You don’t have to take my word when Wikipedia exists :) I think this version must be popular with older folks, I have a boomer prof who writes them as shown in the OP image
The & symbol they wrote looks like a three I guess. It’s saying that “two Black men were lynched &…”
I’m not here to downplay those problems in China. They are serious. But, that’s not the government saying they don’t care about children, it’s saying that they have their own racist and bigoted political problems.
And, if you’ve paid any attention, the US is doing really similar things and has been for a long time. We made some progress with the Civil rights movement, but we still have Black people arrested at 2x the rate of white, 37% of the prison pop is Black while they only represent 13% of the general pop. The education system has all but erased the cultural roots of Black Americans, and God forbid a Black teen uses slang to communicate. Most of the sectioning off of voting areas in the US is to minimize their and other minority’s voting power. For now it’s still legal to say “Hey this influencer really made life bad for me, and I’m okay with him being dead”, but it may not remain legal for long. EPA regulations are being dissolved, but the biggest problems will affect traditionally/forced Black neighborhoods.
Where are you getting the idea that the government in China doesn’t care about their children?
Hey man, you’re the one that brought up rules. But while we’re talking about international rules, gene editing of embryos and their descendants is legal in the US if it’s privately funded. And it’s not illegal internationally to do so
Also, I’d be less worried about CRISPR specifically for this use, because it’s not always accurate, is limited in what it can actually do, and there are better gene editing tools now
But our side has rules, you assume they play by the rules.
China academia has the same problem that US academia has: publish or perish.
And seriously, you can’t say something like that and ignore all the BS the US government has been pulling internationally for decades. Trump murdered 14 random people on boats that weren’t even in US territory, and seemingly no one on the international stage gives a shit
I feel like Spotify’s recommendations have seriously gone downhill in the last two or three years. Most of the new music I actually like I’ve found in music comms on Lemmy
