This is a damn good question that I would also love an answer to!

Hispanics have a very high population of religious voters and many of them don't believe in abortion. For many religious people, even if they disagree handily with everything else the Republican party does, they will not vote Democrat because of the abortion issue.

There was a pretty large research study and a bunch of podcasts on it.

Grabbed the podcast! More detail never hurts. Much appreciated.

usufruct

So... reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn't seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn't seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.

It's basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I'm not following how this isn't corruptible unless there's something I'm missing.

Me too. It's faster than texting and gives you a whole lot of missing context.

I read up on it, but I'm not sure how that's immune to greed. Are you able to explain?

No political system is perfect. Ever.

They require constant vigilance. They require battling. Human greed is capable of corrupting every system that a human mind can create.

Anyone that tells you they have a perfect political system that would never need fixing is a liar, an idiot, or both.

All good! Up until the twist I really did enjoy the movie. It's well shot, it just kind of felt like a betrayal at the time.

I absolutely love horror movies and have a few lined up from the last thread to watch next. Hell House LLC, Lake Mungo, Longlegs, The Blackcoats Daughter, Color out of Space, Mandy, and the two most recent VHS movies are on the docket before the end of the month.

I have a furious fucking hate for this movie.

As someone who was routinely abused by religious family members who told me how evil I was, I went to the movie thinking I would see some kind of payback to these definitely evil characters.

Then the movie said "lol jk. The religious assholes were right because God said so."

Absolutely spot on, though I didn't find it edgy. The third season was mediocre and the fourth was kinda bad.

Link Between Worlds was awesome as well.

Well you gotta kick boots. What else you gonna do, kick sandals? That's just insane.
