I know a guy in texas, briefly dated a relative of mine, who ranted up and down about beto lying about his name, but didn't care about ted Cruz. He claimed it was because lying about your name is bad, but it was really about finding whatever could stick against a democrat.

He would stay in the Senate until confirmed

Bill Mumy also posted to his FB feed.

The grand jury investigation has caused me to not be willing to vote for Vella in the past, but in this case, since getting rid of Flock is the single most important issue in my vote, I've got to vote for her anyway.

learhpa

Yes

I'm a lawyer who happens to be reading this. I appreciate your comments a lot!

What are you talking about? Turkey is part of the capitalist west. Ataturk sealed that deal.

What does something more than half a millennium in the past have to do with what is fair and legal today?

It was a blast. Crowd was on the field. Small crowd, tho.

Greater Los Angeles is half the state.

Greater Bay area is half of what's left.

Census bureau considers them two metro areas.

I understand how you made this mistake, but you've inadvertently conflated together areas with wildly different cultures. The central coast, the Central valley, the sierra, the high desert ... The people living there see them as distinct regions and the differences are obvious to anyone who spends time in more than one.

Slo is often combined with Santa Barbara. It's sort of a middle ground culturally - SLO and paso Robles are central coast but morro bay and pismo are socal.

learhpa

The Bay area spans multiple counties and is either one metro area or four - but every single one except San Francisco would span multiple counties. That's normal.

Census bureau defines los Angeles, long beach, and Anaheim as a single metro area.

Gotta disagree with the last sentence, man.

This isn't about rape culture, this is about a society which has an overarching rule that juveniles cannot be treated as adults, and that juvenile justice is about rehabilitation and not punishment or deterrence.

This isn't motivating by downplaying rape or letting boys be boys, it's motivated by a completely different worldview regarding juvenile justice, rooted in the idea that juveniles are still not fully formed adults.

i bought one, got two, and am utterly unsure what to do because i assume one will be cancelled and i don't know which one.

learhpa

For now.

The administration is trying to change the rules. Someone sued, and a lower court said, until we decide if the new rules are ok, use the old rules. The administration asked the supreme Court to let them use the new rules during the trial, the supreme Court said no.

New rules can still go into effect later if the trial court finds that the new rules are ok.

I spent a week staying with my best friend and his fiance leading up to their wedding. I had not planned to - I had a hotel room - but they put their foot down and insisted.

The behavior you describe is pretty bad, and he's not letting you feel comfortable in your space. Your husband has a responsibility to you to protect your space, so he's not being great here, either.

You are not the asshole.
