Huh, do they really change names of international things when only one party says so?
Denali/McKinely is one thing, it's part of the US. But the Gulf of Mexico is a mix of US, Mexico, Cuba, and international waters. I wonder what they show Google Maps users who are in Mexico.
Trump being removed from office isn't the only goal one could have in protesting.
Influencing members of Congress and the public can also come out of protests.
And like, what else are people supposed to do? Roll over and take it all? Fuck that noise.
My college campus was crawling with them back in the day. I have a few friends who got hooked. Only one is still a Scientologist and unfortunately cut off all friends and family. I am still friends with his brother and he doesn't even know where his brother is.
Get home from a work trip and go into a deep introvert-recharge cycle. Lots of sleep. Solo hobbies and comfort foods. The most socializing I will do is asynchronous texting with two particular people, everyone else is getting ignored for a couple days.
I think the community I miss on reddit is less and less feasible these days with anything and everything being scraped for privacy-violating databases.
I really enjoyed the small backpacking subs where people would post trip reports and photos of their campsites. Bonus if their adventure dog was also in the photo. They were very much a mix of humble-brag but also-the-world-is-awesome-celebrate-with-me positivity. There's less of that here on Lemmy. And I can't even be critical because I also stopped posting such things as much, I am way more cognizant of posting any photo, even if I'm not in frame, that could be used to identify me or be a data input to anyone's file on me.
I would question your friend on what they are drinking and where.
The easiest to find Australian beer in the US is Fosters. But go to Australia and few people there actually drink it because it's not good and there are so many better options.
I once traveled to the UK and had a Newcastle Brown straight from the tap and it was delicious. Went back home to the US and picked up some bottles, it was old and tasted like barely a shadow of the fresh UK stuff.
If I judged Australia or UK beers on what I can find easily in the US, I would also think their beers are ass.
So if he is trying only what he can get in his country, 1) it's probably old and 2) it's rarely the "best" a country has to offer.
About a week. There was a very early season snowstorm. Deciduous trees still had leaves and caught a lot of snow. The weight broke limbs which took down power lines everywhere. In older neighborhoods with above ground lines and mature oak trees, nearly every line and every house had to have crews working them.
My friend, I am really trying not to be condescending but you seem to be struggling to comprehend what I am saying. Your own definition supports me.
"What people think is good and bad" is exactly my point. What I think as an ex-christian in Eastern United States, born in the decade in which I was born, experiencing all I have experienced, all influences what I believe to be right or wrong in OPs scenario.
A person on the other side of the world from a different culture, different religion, a different demographic, different political experiences, may have an entirely different view on right or wrong here.
Different people think different things and philosophers have debated what this means about morality since before Plato in 400 BCE.
Agreed, I would personally have more issues with the situation if there are kids involved. An amicable divorce and full engagement from both parents in a shared parenting plan would be way better for the kids than staying together nominally and having outside relationships, IMO.
To the "is it moral" question, I would start edging to "no" if I thought the kids were being harmed in any way.
Counterpoint: see similar IRL fuckwits in Texas progressing their similarly stupid agenda. Do not discount the fuckwits simply because they seem small in number and influence today.
Right and wrong against what framework? I gave an example of one community that would think this is wrong while another doesn't.
And I said established principles, not rules, just in case you mistook that I was talking about legality.
I don't know who OP is, so if they're, idk, a conservative Muslim in Pakistan, I would not have the appropriate context to say what is moral or not in their community. I can only say what would be considered immoral within my own and why.
If you want to jump all the way down the rabbit hole into Plato, Kant, and Nietzsche, I'll defer as those arguments tend to deteriorate quickly on the internet and it's not what OP is looking for.
Morality is about your community's established principles.
I grew up in a Christian community where it absolutely would be considered immoral. I am no longer Christian, and am in a community that is tolerable of far more types of relationships. This situation would probably still quirk some eyebrows, but generally if everyone involved (husband, wife, you in this case) are all informed and consent to the situation, then it wouldn't be considered immoral.
Ha, I like your optimism that anti-abortion/anti-womens bodily autonomy types wouldn't immediately try to start controlling the unfertile eggs. Plenty of them think contraceptives are evil after all, which is equivalent to discarding infertile eggs before they get fertilized.
We would see efforts to track women's egg laying cycles and criminalize discarding them within the period they can still be fertilized. (See IRL Indiana attempting to make individual abortion reports public instead of as anonymized, aggregate data for studies).
Not sure I've noticed this one. As in a singular woman is called "women" or people dance around calling a woman "women" or say lady or female or something other than "woman"?
I've seen people uncomfortable with saying "woman" for some reason, but haven't noticed if the same people say "women" or not.
