  1. Appears to be. https://www.masslive.com/boston/2025/10/no-kings-protest-brings-thousands-to-boston.html
  2. By applying for a visa. And, you have to believe the government as to these allegations. Do you?
  3. If you have the means to pick. Including the means to make up the shortfall that the voucher partial payment represents. And people question the existence and meaning of white privilege.
  4. Roly poly little batfaced girl.
  5. That, and there are probably things like lifestyle factors and access to follow up care that objectively favor the more affluent donee. But that still remains a subjective criteria to an extent. Like, the list at UTSW is almost four times as long as the list at Parkland likely because far fewer patients receive continuous care at Parkland (meaning regularly see a GP, then a nephrologist for diagnosis/treatment). This is what I mean and is generally meant by "systemic bias." No big cigar is sitting there saying "too brown" or "too poor" but the system decides that "unconsciously."
  6. This is one thing that grinds my gears. Child sexual abusers of the hands-on variety almost inevitably get taken into state criminal systems and inevitably get lower sentences than those who get internet material (thus the federal hook) and get into the federal system. The states are way too lenient on this stuff and the feds way too harsh on a lesser crime. He's lucky he didn't get caught using an app or emailing/iming/uploading his stuff.
  7. I should probably say that my experience is over a long haul and includes Android apps casting as well as browser-based. I have an older Sony whose smart functions no longer function and an LG that's pretty good OS and app-wise, an OG Chromecast and a Chromecast/Google TV.
  8. HBO Max in its various incarnations/renamings has been the worst app experience for me. Hulu has been surprisingly decent, given how shitty ESPN streams are.
  9. Lots of jello molds and casseroles.
  10. Shockingly, Bill Pulte is a massive piece of shit. https://apnews.com/article/trump-pulte-james-schiff-pultegroup-38cb41350da29248c10d4d29134a5730
  11. I mean I kinda get it ("they took everything else now they're going to take our culture"), but your point about cultural purity is spot on. There's also a tinge or more of cultural superiority (supremacy?) implicit in it.
  12. Guy who has spent his whole career in politics, mostly as an aide to elected officials, and is only 40, can afford a $13,000/month house payment on a sub-$200k salary.
  13. Also, you know the same arguments were made about Jews? I think the vast majority of Muslims who immigrate to Western countries do share values with those countries, that's why they're emigrating from non-secular Muslim countries to the US. The dog caught the car again.
  14. I wasn't trying to contradict you, my main point was the second. I just didn't want to be accused of minimizing it. I'm not sure where internet porn, including the illegal variety, fits into all this. The reproduction and distribution machine that is the internet has increased the amount and availability of all media. It's certainly easier for the pervos of all stripes to access and share such media. I'm not sure that it represents an actual increase in the amount of child sexual abuse. It's like digital cameras, and then the internet, increased the availability of amateur porn, consensual and otherwise. I don't think it changed the rate at which people were fucking. I suspect child or underage sexual abuse probably also tracks with substance abuse rates, as well.
  15. Any child sexual abuse is a huge problem. I'm not sure the quantity of it has changed. Like a lot of things in the last few years, discovery/reporting of it may be more prevalent.
