  • I'm atheist, and my partner was Muslim when I first knew her.

    People say it doesn't mater - but honestly it really fucking does.

    Imagine being in relationship with someone who never really left North Korea, deep down. There's so much fear, so much fear-driven obedience, and so much fear-driven defense of the indefensible.

    I never really understood the concept of freedom of conscience until I was arguing with one of her friends about Amina Lawal, the Nigerian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery - with her sentence delayed until her baby was weaned. Despite being really very progressive at heart, my partner ended up arguing in favour of it - and then later on was seriously pissed off at me for making her defend that.

    She ended up deconverting several years later (certainly not at my behest), and things got immeasurably better from then on.

    But that's not a possibility I'd recommend banking on. My honest advice is just don't go there, it's far more stressful than you think it is.

  • That's awfully circular.

    Justice is doing what's just? Um.

    What defines justice, what goal does it achieve, and how does punishment fit into that?

  • Before we can answer that question usefully, tell us what you think justice is, and what purpose it serves.

  • Brilliant, thank you, I can't draw for shit

  • You don't actually spoon the whole way, just up to the waist, leaving a bit of a gap between your chest and partner's shoulders.

    Upper arm goes round partner as normal, lower arm rests elbow on mattress, forearm vertical across their back, hand holds their upper shoulder.

    Plenty of contact still, but your arm doesn't die, you don't get their hair tickling your face all night and you get to use your own pillow.

  • The future involves waking up again, and sleep makes us rested enough to deal with that.

    Simples.

  • I had this book when I was a kid.

    Yes I'm old.

  • call the police?

  • you're doomed, then.

  • Do a shot of vinegar. Works every time.

  • Stick it in the oven for an hour, right on the rack, as-is.

    Take it out, cut in half, butter/salt/pepper.

  • So when is the rest of the world putting sanctions on El Salvador?

  • They're just setting the tarriff to half the 'trade deficit' percentage.

    Where the actual trade amount is trivial, this leads to ludicrous results.

  • You're always going to a chunk of political support by oppressing minorities, anyone considered 'other'. A percentage of people are always going to hate, mistrust and blame the out-group for everything wrong with their lives, and this makes them very easy to lead round by the nose.

    Stoke enough hatred, and people will gladly give up due process, human rights and social equity in the name of oppressing those they see as the enemy.

    And once you can do that, large corporations can exploit the absolute shit out of the population, way harder than they could with all those pesky laws, regulations, oversight, etc. They can use slave labour from the concentration camps, steal the land and wealth from the people they kill or imprison, and they can rewrite laws to suit themselves, secure in the knowledge that anyone opposing them can simply be disappeared off the streets.

  • A bunch of Americans pronounce it sen-tar for some reason that I've never understood.

  • sen-tor

    As in taurus, which rhymes with torus.

  • how slow acting? As in months, or as in time to get the fuck outta dodge?

    Ricin will kill you in a couple of days, was first extracted in 1888, and the plant grows in the mediterranean.

  • Only half of them are.

    The rest are even.
