Many people do, but not everyone. Religious people especially tend not to cohabitate before marriage, as that would be considered a sin.

No, that's the point of a dog whistle. Those in the know understand, and they don't want outsiders to notice. One of the best ways to combat these people is to let everyone in on their "secret" codes, so we can see exactly who is putting their hat in with the Nazis.

It's because it was from Davis. He interrupted her constantly, including times when she was about to tell him it was his turn to talk. He didn't interrupt Muir almost at all.

I'll leave the reason why he interrupted one and not the other as an exercise for the reader.

He dodged every question and shoehorned in "the border" for all of them.

It's Zelensky, but they were confused because "Z" has become a symbol of the Russian forces invading Ukraine.

There is no trans woman in this case. A female boxer, born and raised as a woman, is being attacked and called a man. What OP is saying is that it's basically because they don't see her as attractive, and that's definitely a major component of it.

What it comes down to is that they're so obsessed with the idea of trans women that they start seeing them everywhere, and it usually comes down to someone not being quite feminine enough in some way, though there have been cases of people trying to claim some of the most conventionally attractive women in the world were secretly trans.

It does fly in the face of the constitution, and multiple SCOTUS' have affirmed exactly that several times.

The rationale for this actually makes some sense. You wouldn't want an incumbent to be able to remove an opponent by railroading them into a minor felony conviction. With the way Trump ran things, if all it took was a minor felony to make sure Biden was ineligible, he absolutely would have pressured the DOJ to find something.

I think it's ok for them to have stocks, they just should be put into a blind trust to manage, and they shouldn't be able to make any transactions outside of that for the duration of their term in office.

He's still on the hook for the full amount if his appeal fails, he just no longer has to put it all up to start the appeal.

Are you really asking what Nazis have to do with killing? A group famous for committing possibly the most heinous genocide in the history of humanity?

Repetitive Epics (lemmy.world)

Garak asserts to Bashir that the Repetitive Epic is the finest form of Cardassian literature. I was wondering, is there any real-life literature that could be considered a "repetitive epic" in the same vein as "The Neverending Sacrifice?"

Vulcan Sex Workers (lemmy.world)

It has occurred to me that Vulcan must have some form of sex industry to handle those going through Pon Farr who aren't currently married or otherwise involved. Otherwise, they'd have constant issues with violence from those suffering the "blood fever" whose spouse was far away, or had died, or for some other reason had no one to mate with.

Given Vulcan attitudes towards sex, it's probably kept out of sight, and is only "officially" available to those experiencing their "Seven Year Itch," but it has to exist, right?

Yes! Anyone in the custody of the state should be treated with a minimum level of human decency, regardless of their crime.

In Voyager's transporter room, there is an alcove on the side, and embedded in the wall is what appears to be a small transporter pad. I don't believe anyone is ever shown interacting with this, so there's no definitive explanation for what it is. Assuming it is what it appears to be, what would be the purpose of a very small transporter like this?
