they absolutely could reverse peristalsis just like any vertebrate.

AFAIK Horses cannot vomit, and I also was told that mice and rats cannot vomit.

But… It’s a legume?!

“flavor” lol

See, my favorite is GNU, for “GNU’s Not Unix”.

I’ve even heard people say “Double-yoos dot”, and even that compressed version is still more syllables than the full thing.

I know a guy who’s initials are MRS, which is funny.

My state of residence restricts access to certain sites. It’s all bullshit.

Anyway… The ISP is either a common carrier or a content provider. Pick a fucking lane. You can’t have half and half. Either you are responsible for ALL content provided or NONE.

If you choose none then you MUST NOT restrict access to any content.

If you chose ALL then you may restrict content based on what you are willing to take responsibility for. But in that case if someone does something illegal with content you provided you are liable.

Oh I forgot, so then this other asshole says the bill is “deader than fried chicken” because we can always just fillibuster it.

We need to get rid of the current fillibuster. Make them stand up there and talk forever. If you want to block something then you have to actually mean it. Oh sorry you have to pee? Get fucked.

And that goes for both parties.

I was listening to the whole thing about Rs protesting against increasing the required ethics to be a supreme court justice and it was just so bizarre.

They were saying that requiring justices to abide by the same code of ethics as congress would destroy the supreme court as we know it. Like… Yes, I know. That’s entirely the point.

I’m not saying it’s right, just that’s their rationale. I literally discussed this with a middle school principal a few days ago and that was what she said.

Regardless of what you think about the policy, the fact is that your kids will have to abide by it.

Fact: if your kid is being bullied, they need to communicate to a person of authority. Answering a bully with violence is the wrong choice 99% of the time. They are usually bigger than you and have backup.

Also usually it doesn’t progress to a fight the very first time, usually it takes weeks, and during this time you would have many opportunities to tell a teacher or something.

Again, not advocating that this is right, but that’s their rationale.

Looking at it from the other side, it’s actually rare that an innocent kid is beat up without context.

Usually there’s 2 kids that have a beef and have been egging each other on for days. Eventually one kid says something and the other kid snaps and makes the first move but the second kid was just as guilty.

If you only look at “who started it” the second kid gets off scot free, while the first kid gets punished. Not really fair.

"Zero tolerance " attempts to fix this by recognizing that both kids likely played a part.
