It's 16 in Minnesota and 17 in New York, but 18 in North Dakota. Let's not act like a higher age of consent is directly tied to progressive policies.

Earth and human.

The high rate comes from estimating the number of miscarriages that happen in the first 6 weeks, often before someone knows they are pregnant and the miscarriage is dismissed as a heavy or late period.

The traditional miscarriage stat comes from only looking at known pregnancies, and even it is likely higher than most people realize.

Regardless which stat you use, miscarriages are way more common than most people think.

All my warrants are from Texas,

And Texas is a place I used to love to go,

But all my warrants are from Texas

That's why I hang my hat in Colorado.

I'm a 53 year old IT person, and I'm leaning towards 1. The level of technology incompetence in the general public is astounding. My wife only knows "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?" And that pretty much makes her a member of the help desk at her job.

You underestimate how shitty most software is written.

I've absolutely used timecard software that used the local device time instead of using a centralized time source.

The reason Nigeria is so anti lgbtq+ is because evangelicals from the US have been pushing anti lgbtq+ policies there for years.

This is what the US evangelicals want the US to be like.

They were already lost by the late 60s, early 70s. The proliferation of evangelical schools was in direct response to integration. They didn't want their precious little children to have to go to school with black kids so they pulled them out of public schools and put them in segregation academies. Now they want to pull all the ~~federal~~ money from the public schools they abandoned out of racism and divert it into their segregation academy system.

They also shut down a lot of public pools because they didn't want to swim with black people.

There is no establish procedure to get the rape exception in Mississippi, and even if there was, there are no abortion providers left in Mississippi. The mother asked about an abortion and was told that her best option was to go to Chicago. That's not really an option for lower income people.

FYI, since Mississippi's abortion law went into effect, only 2 exceptions have been granted.

Until what? Until Russia is a dictatorship? That ship sailed a long time ago.

Most German speakers make fun of how unintelligible the Austrian German dialect is. It's so bad sometimes that translators are required.
