I like the taste of Malta fine but I find it super sweet. I imagine adding sweetened condensed milk doesn’t help that at all.

A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission alleges Donald Trump’s 2024 White House campaign and its related political committees engaged in a scheme to conceal who is being paid for much of the former president’s legal work in a possible violation of federal law.

Legal payments as in payments to lawyers not legal payments as in payments in accordance with the law.

Much easier to walk into my department store and physically compare.

Yep. I know I’m much rather go try on shoes rather then play the ship and return it game over the course of multiple days. This also applies to things like furniture, appliances, cars, or other items where physical interaction communicates information that can’t or isn’t communicated in a product description.

Honestly, I don’t. Because I make them better.

That is the situation in my household. My wife is one of those people who goes overboard on the primary filling and throws the proportions off. It isn’t Katz’s deli levels but it is noticeable.

I assume this playlist was put together for all the unionsexuals out there.

Meijer and Walmart store brands of cheap ass white bread are 22 slices, Kroger is 21, and for a name brand example Sunbeam is 22. Nicer bread like Pepperidge Farm or Brownberry/Oroweat tends to be in the range of 16 slices per loaf (baring the thin sliced stuff) though.

Indeed. I can grab a loaf of cheap white bread from my local grocery store for under $2 which is cut into 22 slices.

I keep going back to Star Trek Online for some star ship pew pew. I usually get a month or two in going back over the story arcs and participating in events until the constant event schedule makes me realize I’m trapped in the grind and not playing any other games. So I drop it to break free and play the rest of my game library. The community isn’t something I really interact with as pretty much all of the game content is playable solo or antisocial (the team content is easy enough you can just random queue and don’t really have to talk or strategize with them). It is overwhelmingly PvE (though PvP is technically in the game) and it has some fun lore if you are a Star Trek fan.

I was so sad when I once stumbled on a limited run stout on tap and they served it ice cold in a heavy frosted mug.

But abortions don’t have to be performed in an abortion clinic- and seeing as it’s a 13 year old child that’s clearly dangerous enough to be performed in an OR.

Well, that’s beyond my field of knowledge so I’ll bow out now. Have a good one.

I would hope that people would take the time to investigate a topic that was relevant and so important but one of the problems with ignorance is that sometimes you are so ignorant you don’t know you have a blind spot. If you’ve not paid attention beyond hearing that abortion is now banned the thought, “I wonder if there is a rape exception?” may just not occur. A bit like how so many people don’t know how tax brackets work, assume they do, and never bother to look into the topic.

As far as the doctors. I looked into things a bit more and apparently Mississippi’s last abortion clinic closed down in July of 2022, which isn’t surprising given the legal situation, so the direction to Chicago by the doctor may not have been motivated by advice to avoid persecution but rather it being the nearest qualified facility. So I think we were both erroneously assuming there were in-state options that weren’t being used.

P.S. I suspect Chicago wasn’t literally the closest but probably the closest without restrictions such as requiring a separate counseling and procedure visit that creates a greater barrier than a longer drive.

Why didn’t the mom research the law and see the rape exception?

Miss. Code § 41-41-45 requires a formal charge of rape by law enforcement for the exception to be applicable. If you read on to the Time article linked at the end of the Daily Beast article the mother claims to have been unaware of the rape to begin with. Even if charges could, as a matter of procedure, be filed against a John Doe to satisfy the requirement you still have to convince law enforcement to file those charges. Just informing a doctor that the pregnancy was the result of rape is insufficient to satisfy the exception.

Now you might be thinking, “Well, Mom didn’t know but the kid knew what happened to her.” I point to this from the Time article:

Regina hadn’t yet explained to her daughter how a baby is made, because she didn’t think Ashley was old enough to understand. “They need to be kids,” Regina says. She doesn’t think Ashley even realized that what happened to her could lead to a pregnancy.

It is unsurprising that she might lack the understanding and foresight required to be her own advocate on this issue.
