He’s an Abjuration wizard. His opposed schools are alteration and illusion meaning he can’t turn you into a girl or make you look like a girl.

Funny how God punishes little girls in Texas for the sins of gay people in California.

The North Sentinel people are not actually fully isolated. They had contact with colonial authorities in the past (the British went on the island and even kidnapped some of the locals they found, an elderly couple and 4 kids. The couple died not soon after and the kids were sent back) and there was some peaceful contact with Indian anthropologists up until 1997. The 2004 earthquake and tsunami affected the island pretty badly and disturbed their fishing grounds but aerial survey of the island confirmed they survived and adapted to their new conditions. Most contact after that has been met with aggression most theories I heard about why assume it’s because of contact people fishing illegally in the area or an epidemic on the island after one such contact.

The Indian government considers it illegal to contact them and will punish anyone who does it. That one American preacher that landed on the a while back was eventually killed by the locals and his death was ruled a murder but the Indian government didn’t push for anyone to be prosecuted. The US government also didn’t push for prosecution. So yea the Indian government wants them to be left alone.

My personal take on this is that if the North Sentinel Islanders wanted to be in contact with the rest of the world they could. They are not very far from other Andaman islands and they could build a raft or a canoe that could reach them. The fact they haven’t done so means they don’t wish to be in contact with other people. It’s their choice to be isolated and it should be respected.

There’s nothing wrong with not feeling some life changing experience when holding your child. Some people do, some don’t and it is a bit overplayed by people.

Taking care of a baby is hard work and tiring. It can be overwhelming for first time parents and I recommend you talk with your wife about it and look into sharing the workload better so you can both get some time for yourselves, you could also ask your mother or other family members to help watch the kid so you and your wife can get a night out and relax. It will help a lot.

As for the other feelings I would honestly advise you to look into getting some professional help if possible. You can talk to your GP about it and they they can advise you on what to do or recommend you to specialized help.

But yea, hang in there, it gets better and as the kid grows they will be able to take care of themselves more and your workload will get lower. Though I have to warn you that if you build resentment for them they will pick it up at some point and they will be crushed. It shatters my heart to see kid suffer like that.

I’m more surprised that he reads. I thought he was basically illiterate lol.

It may be the Greatest Depression. People are saying they have never seen a bigger Depression.

Was the cannibal named Hannibal Lecter? Hannibal the Cannibal?

Musk definitely depends on government contracts for his companies. If Trump cancels those all his companies will take a big hit which in turn will take a big chunk off his net worth which is propped by shares in those companies. If his net worth substantially goes down he may run into issues getting credit which will affect him directly. Elon Musk uses his stock to take loans to fund his personal expenses among other things.

No he couldn’t. Trump would cancel his government contracts. Musk already backed off pretty fast when he threatened to do that last time he ran his mouth. If he kept going then Trump would just deport him, he even has the pretext for it if he wants to use it.

The second most likely outcome is a fracturing of Trump’s opposition, further weakening their ability to impede him.

Why would MAGA follow Elon Musk? Better question. Who would even follow Elon Musk? He’s hated by one side for being a literal Nazi and the other side for for going against Trump. I guess he still had his tech bro and crypto toadies but those people aren’t really a reliable voter base.

Well of course they don’t want to shut down their “humanitarian” foundation. What else are they going to use to bait Palestinians so they get gunned down?

Small government only when the conservatives institute Christianity in school, ban abortion and sexual education and rob their constituents of everything they have.

Big government when conservatives need to oppress minorities, fight wars in the Middle East and deport people.

Well of course. He’s charismatic, young and he talks to the people he wants to represent. He’s the antithesis of everything they are.

I had the same reaction. The US has two parties, a far right one and a center right one. There are some center left members in the Democratic Party but the rest of the party sure tries to smother them any chance they get.

Hey man, sometimes you need to take a break from doing what you love to go stab some slavers with bayonets.

Yeah I had to check the date. Didn’t he already say the exact same thing before?

Well now they know they won’t be safe unless they have an atomic bomb so of course they’re gunning for it.

Netanyahu has been saying that Iran is getting close to the bomb for like more than 10 years now. Iran was willing to negotiate on their nuclear armament but Mr. Deal maker fucked that up too and now they feel cornered. And you know what they say about cornered animals.

Having public land is a socialist policy. Public land is owned in social ownership instead of being owned by private interests. It’s the classic definition of socialism.

The poster is saying that conservatives actually like socialism, since they like public land but they hate socialists who are advocating for such socialist policies.

Who’s gonna vote for coke-boy?

The Rapture is an American Evangelical thing and it’s pretty recent too. It popped up in the 19th Century. The other main Christian branches around the world don’t believe that’s something that will happen.

Most other Christian branches also don’t believe the Bible is literal but allegorical so all the stuff about the End times is not to be taken as fact.
