Bodycam video shows Illinois cop shooting ~~unarmed~~ 14-year-old ~~suspected of breaking a window~~

Tell the story for what it. A police officer shot a child. What they were or weren't suspected of, whether they had a weapon or not, doesn't matter.

Nothing would change. For a start, PA doesn't control gaza so can't service it, and secondly israel and Egypt are both blockading Gaza. Independent Gaza would continue to have nothing.

I do recognise that a lot of it is probably just playing up for the joke, but I assume it has to come from somewhere. I regularly see posts where basically Person A sends an odd image/message, then follows up with "wrong number, sorry" and Person B responds with "wait stay".

Do Americans, as a rule, not save phone numbers? Or is it purely a bit that has become a trope?

If Motorsport Manager has taught me anything running at a £2,5m deficit per race is high but not abnormal

This is the correct take. Unfortunately, there seems to be an overwhelming sense of "fuck you, I got mine" amongst a lot of people meaning they'd rather kick other people down than get pushed up.

I'm not particularly a food prescriptivist, but this isn't aglio e olio. By all means crack on, but with prawns and tomatoes in it? Not a aglio e olio in my book.

Surely they can't legally hide allergens?

I think doing those things when it's clear, is fine. As a queer person, when I catch my friends (usually inadvertently) say something queerphobic, I'll lean it and switch it to be critical of the cishet equivalent.

I think when it's clear, and when it's being used for a good reason, then there's no issue. You make a very good point about your child though. They don't usually get the nuances that an adult should.

I always call those people anti-theists, as opposed to atheists. The ones who almost have their lack of religion as a religion in itself and criticise (and let's be honest, demean) anyone with a faith.

By all means, criticise the church, and the structures, which harm people. Criticise the willfully misinterpreted doctrine. The religions themselves, people's beliefs? Leave them alone.

No, I'll call it out. If they fudge it for me, they'll also fudge it against.

On one hand as a queer woman, I'm disappointed by someone who showed so much support for the community eagerly accepting this tainted money.

On the other, I'd sell my soul for the right money, so I can't criticise him too heavily.

America is fucking weird man. Why would you thank cops for their service?
