On one hand what you say is true, but it misses some potential nuance which I would like to believe the OP intended, not that I have any faith.

Appearance is a proxy for hormones. This should not be surprising since hormones' effect is to alter the function of cells. The Russian fox breeding experiments tell us that as you breed animals to be tractable you are actually changing their hormonal balance, and they also change in appearance at the same time.

It's well known that e.g. hair growth in humans is governed in large part by hormones, so this speaks directly to what's being discussed.

What you say may actually even be playing a part here; it's possible that there is some sort of cultural shift that is causing men who have a hormonal advantage in the breeding department to be less favored as partners, perhaps perceiving them (rightly or wrongly) as more likely to be abusive at a time when that is increasingly seen as unacceptable. (And if so, yes, good! But it's not the morality or even the reality that causes the shift, but the perception, hence the sentence.)

IME they love taking care of the great-grandchildren, just not the children or grandchildren. We were all scared to shit of our grandparents except for the oldest kids. All the youngest were judged against their standard.

The problem isn't average or even median home prices, it's the bottom prices. In some markets this is very much caused in large part by airbnb but mostly it's venture capital buying starter homes and turning them into rentals, and going on to collude on the prices.

Oh good, a bigger debt.

That part's true. 1 out of 3 is OK in baseball:

They have to house all of those kids. They have to clothe them. They have to take them to things. GA and SNAP don't pay for those things. Welfare does, but since Clinton's welfare reform act of 1996, that only lasts for five years.

Thanks to shutting down all the programs that used to keep them busy.

If you want this fixed, then you educate people and make birth control available. But Republicans are opposed to both public education and birth control. They therefore clearly want there to be more kids running the streets causing trouble. Why would you vote for that?

Press of what kind?

Thanks, Obama.

IKYKWIM.

I'm not continuing this conversation with you until you acknowledge your failure to read what I actually wrote, because I won't have any belief that anything I say might change your mind about anything no matter how wrong I've proven you to be. Thanks.

That's good news for people in California, who therefore have a right to a refund under our state warranty laws. Other Americans are fucked because they don't have a right to a refund, only replacement. In California we even have the right to choose.

By my understanding this is also grounds for at least a partial refund in the EU, as the goods are not in conformity with the consumer sales contract if they do not comply with the description given by the seller, which in this case includes remote functionality. But they're not entitled to a full refund like we are. We Californians further have the right to a refund from the seller during the warranty period, we never have to go to the manufacturer.

Please explain what that has to do with anything I wrote in this thread, where I talk about using it to CHECK legal briefs, not to WRITE them. You're doing a worse job of reading than a LLM.

Maggots like AD think things ARE going real fucking great right now.

This is all the same shit the Republicans have been telling us for decades that they wanted to do, all of it. LITERALLY all of it. And they are here for it.

A few long time republican voters are now realizing that it's not a good plan. The vast majority of them still believe the invisible hand of the free market is going to make everything all better as soon as they get rid of all the woke.

That's a pretty pathetic number considering how little purchasing power that gives you in any developed nation.

It must have been worn out and/or dirty then. No controller in history has ever had a better D-pad than the NES. It was positive, precise, and reliable. You could also slam the controllers around, bounce them off the floor, throw them across the room or whatever (yes, I was an angry child. in my defense I played a lot of ninja gaiden) and they would keep on working.

Enjoy your drift, clowns

The N64 controller had the shittiest everything Imaginable. GC wasn't much better, either, it was ergonomic for nobody. Wii was pretty bad too, you had to have an ergonomic condom for the wiimote, and the controller was too rounded. Since Famicom was kind of janky (though player 1 had a headphone jack) I'd say only NES and SNES were actually worth a crap. Neither one had any ergonomics, but neither did anyone else's controller until Genesis, Epyx aside.

Remember when Nintendo had the absolutely most durable controllers in existence, which you could legitimately use as a weapon?
