Odd that consuming food or drink that has not been heated to kill pathogens would cause illness.

Sure, Bibi will get right on that. Just before Trump and the GOP take complete control and give Israel the go ahead to unleash the dogs on Hamas.

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

Word on the street is they gave him 4 years of community service - without pay...

I heard about that. They should probably inventory the house silverware. I believe in rehab, but some of those felons can have sticky fingers.

From convicted felon to president of the United States. What an excellent work release program!

But anyone who points this out or the deficiency of this approach is called a transphobe bigot. And their posts and comments are deleted from certain sites after being reported by certain users who will go unnamed.

2 percent of the population is terrorized because you ladies are afraid of 2 percent of the population.
Because your Cult Leader demanded it.

It's not fear. It's hatred.

And Trump didn't make them hate trans. They always hated them. Trump just tapped into it, like he did with the Mexican rapists and the Hatians eating cats. Just like the GOP exploited hatred of Blacks with Welfare Queens in the 80's and the ghey's in the 90's with DOMA.

Let's see if this BoAZ posting escapes deletion.

If it does, apparently the only reason is because the courts are allowed to say what BoAZ is not.

Roberts and ACB let it go forward because the trial court said it's going to let the Orange Pustule walk. That's the only reason they decided to put on this show of fairness.

Santos Claims he can't Pay Restitution Despite Earning $400K on Cameo

Sure $400K sounds like a lot, but that's offset by the refunds he gave for his OnlyFans.

Anderson cited examples and urged Musk for a fairness doctrine.

ROFL! Is this guy an idiot or just naive beyond comprehension. It should be obvious by now that unfairness was Musk's purpose in buying Twitter.

Musk ponied up $27 billion and he'll end up earning and saving hundreds of billions via a Trump administration and ensuring the GOP cements in place the plutocracy it has been working towards for the last 45 years.

Just make a whole lot of mutton stew and feed the homeless.
Seems like there really isn't problem here to 'contend' with.

What if the homeless only eat organic, non-GMO? While we're at it, is there any gluten or MSG in there?

That was extremely offensive. Getting all uppity and thinking she could touch a White man!

The numbers seem to suggest otherwise.

Whatever ... Francis refused to come out against Trump before the election.

"Nor should we, because we don't have the time, energy, or resources to spend"

This has no relevance to whether or not it's a human being.

I was going to respond with a reasoned statement. But why bother? You're either a troll or doing your best impression of one.

I'll leave you to it. Hug a zygote. It has almost the same level of consciousness and intelligence as an amoeba but should be entitled to all of the rights of a human being.

Since anyone can add arbitrary qualifiers to define what a human being is, you can't prove that an infant is any more of a human being than a zygote.

Wait till you find out that we routinely "homicide" the brain dead who show far more signs of being human than a zygote. And aside from a few religious nutters, no one cares one bit. Nor should we, because we don't have the time, energy, or resources to spend the rest of eternity caring for something because it was, or one day may become, a human being.

Should we even count young children when looking at statistics of causes of death?

"What color are they?"
-MAGATs

Businesses don't get to charge customers different prices based on what they have between their legs.

Is it really that difficult to understand?

Garbage car sold by a garbage person. I'm sure the magats will come charging to the rescue and buy three or four EVs apiece.

Honest question here... At what point in a pregnancy do you believe abortion should no longer performed for personal/economic reasons?
#44 | Posted by lfthndthrds
Beats me. I leave that to the woman carrying the fetus to decide. Way too complicated for me to fathom and really none of my business given the balance of burdens. Maybe if we had a human shortage I'd feel differently.

From the time you were conceived until now, you were a single living being at different stages in your life cycle. [..] Saying a fetus can one day "turn into" a human being is like saying an infant can one day turn into a human being. It assumes it's not already one.
#45 | Posted by sentinel
I see what you're saying. I just don't regard a single-celled zygote as a human being because nothing I see as a characteristic of a human being is present (e.g., sentience beyond an amoeba would be a good first step). If you sucked the brain out of an adult who was walking down the street, I probably wouldn't consider the husk that was left over to be a human being either.

Fetuses start getting into what I would consider to be a human being, but see my above answer to lfthndthrds for why I stay out of it.

While this might sound alarming, the risk to even the closest human populations is minimal.

Ah, bummer. Was really counting on Flaming Meteor 2024! Supervolcano 2025! to round this year out.

This is basic biology about the life cycle of a human being that you were probably taught in grade school.

Thanks for explaining. I finally see where you're coming (hah!) from. But that's not a human being according to the definition accepted by the vast majority of humanity or any reasonable basis that I can see.

As I said in earlier:
"Nothing magical about a zygote just because it can one day turn into a human being, and about half of them don't even without human involvement. [...]

For additional reference, also "basic biology about the life cycle of a human being" is that we come from a sperm and an egg. And those aren't human beings either.
