The green lady thinks "who'd pay for her nudes?" means "I won't date you"

I have terrible news for you if you think using a homophobic slur is as bad as anything the previous popes and cardinals have been doing.

The equivalent would be seeding a torrent backup.

You should probably note, the functionality you're describing now requires modding/plug-ins and not the "search and enable" kind, the download from third party sites and run random install scripts kind. It also since February requires you use your Kindle to download and copy every book you own (a chore if your family buys a lot of pulpy urban fantasy novels)

Are you under the impression other countries don't have Covid information websites? The issue here is radicalising a few hundred million people, not the loss of the info.

Given that she began as Christian Evangelical pop, then rose to fame with a song fetishising performative homoeroticism as "not what good girls do", no. Quite far off.

I think they quite literally mean former IDF soldier, Gal Godot.

Yes. I specifically mentioned ISIS came from American misrule in Iraq. The people aligned with ISIS were on America's side during the Iraq war.

I can picture the pitch to an EU that has just accepted a massive long term project of trying to lift Eastern Europe out of post-Soviet destitution. OK bro, divest bro because obviously the techbros are going to turn America fascist once the boomers implode the world economy in a few years. Just do it bro. Match American military spending bro. You need it bro.

Until 2004, the EU was a western European entity, with Greece alone possible to describe as being anywhere near the Middle East, and lacking a land border with the rest of the EU.

The Iraq war did not cause and international migration crisis. People were primarily moved internally and to other (unfriendly) ME countries.

What really started the migration crisis was ISIS and the Syrian war, 10 years later. Where a Russian ally fought the byproduct of American misrule in the Middle East, and Russian allies directed migrants into Eastern European countries unready for them financially or culturally.

Quite what the EU, a non-military force that primarily overlaps with NATO, was supposed to do differently there I don't know. Should it have predicted that the US would essentially lose to Assad, to the Taliban, and that they would then switch sides and ally with Russia while still in NATO?

Quite apart from all these people telling you that the day used to start at sunset, I am curious as to how you came to the thought in the first place, since the moon and it's phases do not align to hours at all.

I don't know why you're describing my mother as masculine but she apologises
