She isn’t. She is asking them to get involved in organizing to stop raids

The primaries did

NJ got rid of them a few years back. My trashcans have had the sane liners since then.

This was a primary election so both major parties were fielding several candidates. The reality is no Republican is getting elected in NYC as long as we have free and fair elections in the USA so the democratic primary winner is the most likely person to win in November when the general election is held.

You are not obligated to run under a party in US elections. It just makes it easier to win.

Exactly, at 10 I didnt know what happened but since it wasnt key to the story I did not care.

She is saying “cheese” which causes your mouth to pull up more. What you should say if you want to make an effective smile is sadly “money” as the “ey” on the end cause a slight smile that photographs better.

Like…first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it’s just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it’s never mentioned again.

The kids never quite understood what happened but it was so quick they just moved on.

That’s odd as historians think it alost certainly was a single guy as multiple groups pop up all talking about the sane guy in different parts of the world. We have no idea what he preached but he likely existed.

Why would you use atheists.org as a source for this? They clearly aren’t historians and would have a biased take.

The current consensus is there had to be a guy likely named Yeshua who lived in or around Galilee who was looking to reform Judaism. Reformers of Judaism were incredibly common after Rome conquered Israel. In fact the rabbinical Jewish movement, which is what “modern Judaism” is part of, was started by the Pharisees who are mentioned throughout the New Testament in negative terms (believed to be because they competed with Yeshua’s followers).

The guy you think of as Jesus never existed but the consensus seems to be that it would be difficult for multiple groups all sharing the same views to pop up around the mediterranean if Yeshua never existed. That doesn’t mean Christianity is the correct interpretation of those views only that a guy named Yeshua had a bunch of followers

The fact is we don’t have any reason to think he never existed. We have reason to doubt claims that are religious in nature but it is unlikely that the entire faith was fabricated by Paul/Saul.

One of Marx’s biggest inspirations was the teachings of Jesus.

Kids are going to ask what “breaking your marriage vows” means. Trust me, this conversation is awkward IRL with family. It would be excruciating for most with unrelated kids.

In “Islamic”? Do you mean Classical Arabic?

Alternatively the people who support this should have to explain to kindergarteners what adultery is.

There are more than two choices in this race. Mandani is a good choice but there are others who would be good too.

There are quite a lot of conservatives around the world who are ok with enslavement.

Even funnier is Nickelodeon bought the broadcasting rights to a Canadian kids program that did the slime gag. Slime wasn’t even “their” thing.

And think how those of us who watched “You Can’t Do That on Television” felt hearing kids describe all that as SNL with kids when we knew it was just a rip off of YCDTOT

I haven’t looked at the sub in a bit but that sub is actually becoming conservative again. That is to say there are actual conservative minded liberals advocating for the kinds of policy the GOP was pushing in the 1990s not the neofascism of the Trump era.

Because that means spending money to destroy product.

He was big in a band called DC Talk which was christian rock/pop. They are that genre’s biggest act. This is big news for those people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Talk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Tait
