This is a weird old man thing. My grandpa's sister's husband used to do this. I've seen lots of other old guys do this. If you watch old movies from the '30s and '40s, you will see people will do this (even relatively younger men). I've never understood it.
Pants riding lower, like around your hips, is actually a more modern thing. Your trousers going up to your navel was more or less standard practice for hundreds of years here in the west.

I'm dissapointed time and time again that actors that portrayed masculine, decisive leaders, male characters of extreme moral certainty and devotion to duty and honor, the perfect paragons of the elder, tempered man, be in real life to be softie milquetoast liberals, like Patrick Stewart or Avery Brooks.

At least Brooks never had any great roles after DS9 to enable him a sucessful enough career to bully Paramount into making a Nu-DS9 that would shit all over his character's legacy like Picard did, Nu-DS9 would have totally painted Dax and the changelings as secret 1990s metaphors for transgenderism, they would have a episode where the Bajorans don't resettle half a billion cardassians and how evil and racist that is, Sisko would return from the wormhole as a preachy old space hippie Jesus, but also at the same totally shitting on religion.

There's a reason why thespians used to be despised
 
Out of curiosity, for the book-readers here (since they're being mentioned)

What are your favourite/most looked back upon political or history books? I admit, this question is simply to gain a read-list, as I'm newer to political and history books as a whole. Currently reading Frank Dikotter's "The Cultural Revolution: A People's History 1962 - 1976", and have Andy Ngo's "Unmasked" ordered.

I remember posting about how Antifa reminds me of the Red Guard a few weeks ago -- and my, such a statement proves true weeks later. At the very least, our current day commies are being dealt with, even if slooooooowly... Little did I know our own politicians -- Jay Jones -- would engage in the behavior or psychopath commies, but that's what I get for having expectations for the lefties.

You should read dikkoters other books on the people’s republic

Also read days of rage by Bryan Burroughs
 
If the oligarchs want you to win the primary you will win the primary, if you win the Democratic Party primary you become governor.

So yes

The question is will this make her lose her patron?

Edit: looking it up it looks like she had previously pissed off the 4 families, so in actuality she never had a chance
In that case, it wouldn't be too far to assume that they're the ones who leaked the dirt in the first place.

Days of Rage by Bryan Burrough which covers the Weather Underground,
Richard Nixon: The Life by John A. Farrell which is a great biography of one of my favorite presidents,
Jerusalem: The Biography which covers the history of Jerusalem
Hello Refugees! by Tuvia Tenenbaum which covers the refugee crisis in Europe (anything written by Tenenbaum is gold),
One Summer: America, 1927 is an extremely zoomed in look at one specific year in American history

There's a lot more but they're mostly focused on the Middle East because that's where I'm most interested in and it gets into some niche stuff.

I'm not sure why you're surprised, their entire profession is defined by pretending to be something they're not.
 
Nu-DS9 would have totally painted Dax and the changelings as secret 1990s metaphors for transgenderism
It was a metaphor for trannies. In the TNG episode, "The Host", Dr Crusher was fine with banging her trill boyfriend after his host died and the trill had to be transferred to Riker's body.

this is unusual because usually Riker was the one putting weird slimy things in other people's bodies :c

But she dumped him at the end of the episode when he moved to a female host, because even in the 24th century, nobody likes troons.

I know, it's fucking horrifying; and I will genuinely never understand why the Human species ever found it acceptable to butcher the genitalia of their young.
Because that skitzo fuck Abraham heard a voice in his head talking about dicks being unclean, and instead of seeing if maybe Abraham was fuckign insane for calling for baby dicks to be snipped, they decided to fuckign listen to him.

I don't know, seems like if god wanted little baby dicks to not have foreskin MAYBE HE COULD HAVE MADE THEM NOT HAVE FUCKIGN FORESKIN.
 
Isn’t that literally what Washington did during the Whiskey Rebellion?!
Militia were provided by a number of states during that event. I guess the big difference between now and then is that: there technically isn't a "rebellion" and the governor of the state where the Whiskey Rebellion took place, Pennsylvania, sent troops to help Washington.

With that in mind, there is a good chance the liberal appointed legal activist unfortunately occupying a Judge position doesn't care about this. They're simply trying to do anything they can to stymie the Trump administration.
 
The disconnect here is that these hospitals use clamps

that crush the foreskin until it dies and then cuts the foreskin off.

They have to strap down the babies onto boards because the foreskin takes around 5 minutes to die and it's extremely painful for the baby.

After undergoing such a procedure, the baby suffers much more than the traditional method where the foreskin is just cut off quickly without further trauma. That's probably why secular hospitals recommend Tylenol while we got by with just sugar water.
Same thing when bulls are castrated.
It would be much less painful to the animal to just snip the balls off, but instead, we have to tie a cord around its sack and let it suffer for minutes at a time while it slowly expires.
 

I used to watch this guys videos every once in a while. He's some lawyer that will talk about news and happenings. This is the first video I've seen from him in a little while.

I think some of the examples he gives are a bit dumb. But overall I think he's probably right. Although I think for most reasonable people they won't need to hear this. Because they can probably intuitively understand why a civil war would be really bad.
