Seconding everything here, but emphasizing point 2. Some folks have metal allergies or sensitivities - nickel is a common one, for example.
Surgical steel is usually safe, but still best to confirm she doesn’t have any particular sensitivities.
Oooo, like that game where you make a sentence using the suggested words to me and I don’t know what to do with it too much scrutiny on the way to the point of the same thing as a young man and I don’t want anyone else starting with the same person as a young person who cares about it but they don’t have to be a human anymore just an idea of the time and then have enough of a relationship with him and Burns ensues after themselves.
Jareth is not allowed to be completely gay. He can be 99% gay, but I require that 1% to remain ungay so I can have a chance with this fictional character.
Also Sarah, after she’s grown up about 15 years. She’s also not allowed to be 100% straight for the same reason.
This is a totally normal way to think, right? 🙃
My cat. Everything else in my room brings me either misery or a feeling of meh. Cat brings joy, which is difficult for me to obtain.
The only time I saw one was on a cheap dollar store plug. I immediately thought it was defective.
This is neat info!
This guy read Foucault’s discussion about the panopticon and took it as instructions. Ugh.

I’ve unlearned much of it, but it remains an ongoing process; it’s similar to how recovery from addiction is a lifelong process. Unfortunately, many of my (I’m guessing our, but don’t want to assume) compatriots don’t feel the need to unlearn it or don’t see it as an issue to begin with.
Assuming everywhere else is better
Nowhere did I say that I assumed everywhere else was better. I can see how you inferred that, but that wasn’t my implication; I suppose my sarcasm didn’t come through well enough. Rather, I am just so used to that type of gun rhetoric here and not used to that from what I hear about NZ that it was a surprise.
Power tripping assholes exist everywhere there’s power to be had.
Fully agreed with you.
I’m in the US and did a double take when I saw that it was NZ; it’s the Americentrism that was ingrained in me since childhood that led me to automatically assume, based on the headline, that it was a story from here.
It could easily be one of dozens of similar stories here. People here can get rabidly protective of their firearms. Threats/offensive comments like the one the employee in this situation made are common enough that I think this would only be considered a fluff piece in the states, if it made the news at all.
Is he secretly an American? Because that sounds far more like something I’d hear here. Atrocious.
California, here, and not any of the parts that get snow. (Closest we get is hail, which feels like it happens maybe twice a decade.) We called it “snow,” too. :)
The order makes him inactive as of March 30, 2024. Here’s his California State Bar page.
As a fellow attorney, it was extremely satisfying to see his updated status and the big, glaring consumer alert. He abused the privilege and is a disgrace to the legal community and (what remains of) the justice system.
But, but, but I’m supposed to live here! My ancestors lived here millennia ago! What does it matter if they live there now?! Them not wanting to be forcibly displaced, starved, beaten is just them being terrorists! *stomps foot*
I hope they choke on their bile because they sure are filled with it.
Cool, cool. So we’d be okay with any country doing the exact same as Israel? Then why is the US bothering to support Ukraine? Surely, Russia must not be doing anything bad, either.

MTG is the first person I’d zap if I had a space laser, so she’s real lucky she’s just an idiot.
Man…you know, I think most of us Jews would brag if this were true. I know I, for sure, would.
Can’t wait for him to wrong-turn himself into a random driveway and get a taste of his own medicine from one of his own.
Not really. From the article:
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country,” he declared.
While the context may have been “auto industry,” the message was clear.
The woman in the image preview is not the same woman they’re investigating.
My first thought was also M&M-Peep chili; glad I’m not the only one about to go to the bathroom, forever.
