He’s not going to turn Senegal into a liberal paradise; his party and policies sound to be more of the same homophobia. But it seems like he will actually try to end the corruption and put the country on the track to independence rather than looting it like Sall. Secularity is a cornerstone of the party, which is an important first step. Here’s hoping Senegal is on its way up!
People seemed to forget what a ghoul Mitt Romney is too, the instant he denounced Trump that one time. It’s weird, right? And, just because it’s always relevant: Dick Cheney can fuck all the way off.
Do you think it could be because there was some semblance of following the rules when those fuckers were being awful (even if those were rules they changed so recently the ink was still wet, ahem definitionoftorture ahemhem), compared to the outright lawlessness of this lot?
Your taste in games is good, friend! As long as you have fun with what you play, how could it be otherwise?

I approve this edit
Fair point. I know I’m not alone in being entirely sick of hearing victims get blamed using words just like this, but you’re right that it’s extremely unlikely he meant it that way.
Castle had a message afterward about domestic violence: “Women need to understand: Don’t accept this kind of behavior. It’s not OK.”
Oh yes, women need to understand this isn’t okay. Fucking Jesus fucking wept, was this dickwipe trying to win Tone-Deaf Asshole Of The Century award?
Edit: okay, I had a visceral reaction to the statement and wasn’t being fair to him in how I read it. I think he chose very poor words, but he’s obviously not going to be eloquent at a time like that.
Well that’s good news indeed! You can see if the strips might help with the snoring you do experience by performing “Cottle’s Maneuver”: https://www.ashfordclinic.com/blog/what-is-cottle-s-maneuver
You can try it when one side of your nose gets blocked too, to see if the steps would alleviate that as well, if you don’t do that already. I’ve used it my whole life and didn’t know it was a “thing” until my ENT showed me it and named it.
Shit, you’re right. The only recourse here is a suit against FedEx I think, from anyone who’s had money stolen, and it would have to be based in how they present themselves as a mail carrier such that the average consumer thinks their mail is protected when it’s not. Risky.
Intellectually honest in that they were open to having their minds changed through debate. Buckley saw his earlier positions were wrong, and regretted that he took them. This stands in contrast to the Republican party of today which is almost entirely dogmatic in its beliefs.
Edit: the following only applies to USPS, so it’s probably a good idea to only use USPS for mail.

Ah, I didn’t know there have been things that prevented the call from working (aside from the whole fall from grace storyline). I guess that’s why I stopped reading comics. No consistency 😂
That actually gets around my questions above nicely. Moving Mjølnir ≠ using Mjølnir. If the hammer can be moved by natural forces, it’s just a chunk of metal - it won’t have the devastating impact it does when Thor throws it.
And I guess if Thor woke up and called the hammer back, it’d go regardless of natural forces acting on it.
Uru is a metal ore from the first moon in existence, and has existed since the beginning of the universe, being said to be rubble from the rock of creation and the strongest substance in all the realms. It is purportedly unique to Nidavellir, one of the Ten Worlds. It resembles stone, but it also appears to have metallic properties.
Edit: I think I found a good answer below. Even if natural forces could lift Mjølnir, the enchantment would not be in effect - getting beaned by a 40-something pound chunk of metal would still hurt, but it wouldn’t hit as hard as it does when Thor uses it.
Ah, but Magneto’s not the one lifting the hammer - he’s directing magnetic fields that are doing the lifting!
So, could the wind pick up Thor’s hammer, if it were strong enough? How about changes in gravity - is Mjølnir as hard to pick up on the moon as at the surface of the Arctic ocean (Earth’s highest-gravity location, I couldn’t find coordinates)?
If so, then I ask: is the magic of the hammer smart enough to know the difference between a primal force and a primal force that’s doing someone a favour?
I mean, first, blocking off one of your two major airways for a period of 8 hours while you’re unconscious sounds like a fantastic way to get suffocated. Doubly so if you have problems with the remaining airway (which of course you do or you wouldn’t be considering this in the first place).
If you snore, “nasal dilators” might be effective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_strip
They also have been shown to reduce snoring loudness and improve quality of sleep.
But it depends where in your nasal passage the blockage is. Before I got my septoplasty I didn’t snore much but I found my nose would block up when I lay down; if I rolled over it would clear one side. That’s the “turbinates” in the nose filling with blood (which is usually due to histamine response as I understand it). The strips pull the nasal passages open from the outside, so you should have a little space to breathe even with fully-engorged turbinates.
They’re not very expensive, I don’t think. The only downside is that the adhesive might irritate your skin, but that’s true of taping your mouth, too.
You might also want to get a sleep study done to see if a CPAP would work for you. I know several people who suffer really bad sleep apnoea and all of them said the CPAP gave them the most restful (and quiet) sleep of their life.
Whatever the weather, good luck! Getting shitty sleep makes everything else in your life far harder than it should be. I hope you find a solution that works for you.
It’s not an immutable number, populations fluctuate over time.
Not really, since it’s now public knowledge that the entirety of Trump-positive media is bankrolled by the Kremlin.

So you buy it, and then you can’t sell it. A+, because anyone who’s gonna buy this is going to see “Ethereum-based” and assume the opposite. I wonder if this will be the wakeup call 🤔
… Who am I kidding, MAGAts can’t wake up. The shock would kill them, at this point.
