If you deny women access to abortion related healthcare, they die. Abortion bans ruin lives, and if you really have to protest abortions (which you shouldn't), direct your attention towards politicians, instead of harassing women who need healthcare and are already having a horrible time.

As long as they're not inside my house, (and if they were, I would take them outside) I'd say it's fine. They deserve somewhere nice to live (as long as it isn't. inside my house)

the wet bulb temperature^1^ is just the temperature of a wet thermometer, and varies with humidity and temperature. Wet bulb temp is never higher than the dry bulb temp, so (entertainingly) you're proposing that the meaning of 100° varies wildly and is always lower than the true temperature, effectively making the air temperature always ≥100°, and increases when the air is drier, like some sort of inverse relative humidity.

^1^(I'm aware you probably didn't mean wet bulb temperature here, but let's have fun with the idea) :)

The Māori monarchy dates back to the 19th Century, when different Māori tribes decided to create a unifying figure similar to that of a European monarch in order to try to prevent the widespread loss of land to New Zealand's British colonisers and to preserve Māori culture. The role is largely ceremonial.

I would genuinely buy a bra that needed charging if it did something useful (like phase cooling / some sort of refrigeration). Not from Temu though

AuDHD and completely caffeine free (and stimulant/meds/drugs free too). Caffeine definitely doesn't work for me like it does for other people - makes me sleepy and headachey. I'd rather just work with what I've got, (noise cancelling headphones + being inflexible) even if it has limitations

She had to let it rest for another 20 hours after getting off the plane anyway. Even if it was really necessary, she could have made the dough at the airport (past security) and kept it fully sealed whilst on the plane.

the only Oasis song I know is the one people play to be deliberately annoying. I'd much rather be rickrolled

Where I live, in December, it's already night by 4pm, whereas in July, 4pm isn't even the peak of heat yet. But if someone said "good evening" to me at 4pm in either of them, I'd prob accept it either way, and I'm a meteorologist

Also: In the UK and the US, the typical meteorological standard is just to split seasons by month (DJF MAM JJA SON) for easy stats reasons, but other countries have entirely different standards based on climate. Different people have different definitions and it's completely fine

sorry, my mistake, I totally meant to say I value "community" not "communism" ;)

(also, I'm not North American!)

when talking to my parents, if I say "community" instead of "communism," or "nobody deserves to starve" instead of "free food", and "help vulnerable people" instead of "benefits" and "everyone deserves to feel safe from harm" instead of XYZ - everyone wholeheartedly agrees!

But if I let them go off on a tangent without guiding them, then they're "anti woke" even though they don't know what woke means

I can imagine they had so much fun with this one

A smiling face made from living human skin could one day be attached to a humanoid robot, allowing machines to emote and communicate in a more life-like way, say researchers. Its wrinkles could also prove useful for the cosmetics industry.

Edit to say: There's a video in the link 🌝
