@preta_6 Amy, I am long time follower - and generally admire your posts. This was not a good one; and in my view not even superficially accurate. I don’t think your heroine, JKR, would be impressed. Do better.
@IonaItalia@Romy_Holland In my first response I should have used the word “focus” instead of “limit”. If those three qualities are established on both sides, mutual physical attraction has a good chance of following. Physical attraction is not always immediate and not necessarily skin deep.
@IonaItalia@Romy_Holland If you and your partner do not have and maintain the qualities I mentioned, your relationships will be limited to short term flings or, as with many, long term trudges.
@Discipln_trader@jeremyct Agree with you totally. A healthy child with a good work ethic and a lack of sense of entitlement will make it. I am sure that if they have these qualities and then still face insurmountable struggles, you would be there to provide support - because you love them.
@jk_rowling MAID is a deeply personal choice the right of which I support. I do however not like the presumption that the process of dying is so bad it is not worth living for. That presumption is often wrong. Life, even at the end, is precious.
@benryanwriter@IonaItalia All of the costs of shoplifting, including the additional security costs, end up creating something akin to a regressive tax which hits the poorest far harder than the rich.
@Quillette@IonaItalia Communism with all of its fine theoretical ideals, is ultimately based on compulsion, whereas capitalism, with its many practical defects, is founded upon individual liberty.
If ever there was a cause for western feminists and liberals to back it’s this. A women’s football team collectively standing up to a brutal islamofacist regime - risking all of their lives in the process. It’s the kind of story of extraordinary courage that will one day be told in a Hollywood movie. But there’s been barely a peep from them. Why? Is their activism nothing more than safe performative signalling? Will none of them break ranks?
It’s awful
@Garnet_2203@Womanwhovotes My wife could have chosen MAID months before she died. I’m grateful she didn’t. Her life was meaningful to her until the end. MAID should be an option, but we must never create a culture where choosing death is seen as the responsible or expected path.
For generations Albertans have made astonishing sacrifices to build Canada, to defend it, and even to die for our country as the truth North strong and free.
But some rich Canadians who spend half the year sunning themselves in Arizona are going to take a break from their regular golf-and-happy-hour routine to drop by and sign a petition, in a foreign land, to tear apart the country built by their ancestors.
For shame.
We should use masculine pronouns when referring to the Tumbler Ridge school shooter, who was a transgender-identified male.
Clear, biologically-grounded language is necessary for understanding and mitigating male-coded violence.

@AdamZivo@preta_6 Current statistics show that 9.1 percent of mass school shooters are from Tumbler Ridge, a small community of 2500 that represents only .00625 % of the population of Canada. Is there something in their water?. 😞
