I don't understand how people accept the risk of delivering at home, where even more can go wrong even more quickly.

Exactly. You just don’t know.
Im sorry that you had this experience and glad that you are both ok.

If you go there and expect it to be any different, you haven't been paying attention.

BYU is a VERY difficult private school to get accepted into and is owned by the Mormon church. It was not "all she could get"...it is the Holey Grail for LDS kids. I think your guest hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that the school's policy is against Homosexual public displays of affection, NOT against just being gay. As per how there was no ramifications for displaying homosexual pride at the graduation ceremony. "but she already had her diploma, what could they do?" For anyone who has graduated college you will no the diploma comes in the mail weeks/months later and can easily be withheld for non-compliance/non-payment etc. This is their choice as a private institution and also as a protected religious institution. If you were familiar with BYU you would know their "Y" on the hill is often painted in rainbow colors and trans colors and there is one of the largest gay parade things in the country in UT...kinda woulda thought Chemda would know this given her ex's intimate knowledge of all this.



On the abortion front...did anyone actually read the opinion from the SCOTUS? I tend to agree with the argument about relying on a court case of precedent that relied on previous precedent based on court decisions is a piss poor way to practice "law" and that a federal law is the proper vehicle to deal with the question of legality of abortion. Thus giving it the protection it deserves under the 14th amendment, which I believe was what Keith hinted at when he hit the "state's rights" point. As a digression, just wondering why you feel the 14th amendment should apply for abortion but not for other specific laws and even constitutional freedoms?

So the right path in line w/ the opinion that leaked...which the leak in and of itself is probably the worst thing about all this not the content of the leak per say but that is a different subject which no one seems to care that they are interfering with the discussion and opinion formation process etc...is for congress to properly right a bill and push it through to law.

Speaking of congress...did you guys forget they existed when discussing how the minority in the senate make all the rules??? At a more fundamental than even that did you forget all about the simple fact that the USA is a Democratic Republic...thus the whole constitution thing...so mob rule isn't the design, you silly pants.

Moonknight was great. Hands down the best Disney+ show so far.

I can't help myself.

I just saw Dr. Strange 2. I understood every single little thing in this mess. So I gotta ask, if you had to GUESS what I don't understand from Moon Knight, what WOULD it be?

IS HE IN A HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW?! YES OR NO?!

[Keith]

HOW POWERFUL ARE THESE FUCKIN' GODS?!

Cause they seem kinda stupid. Maybe Osirus is in league with ... THEY'RE IDIOTS!

THE SCALES CULT!!! WHAT?! Where'd that go?

What can I tell you.

P.S. Do you have multiple personality disorder of come kind?

No. He was dead in the pool of water he fell in when he got shot.

The therapy sessions were in his head while he was on/in the boat/mental ward with the Hippo god, I took it as while we watched Marc and Steven work out their issues we saw the internal struggle of his mind in therapy

They're gods yes, but remember harrow said they can't do anything to stop him because they're not warrior gods. And yes. They maybe could've written them better. Konshu warns them and they're arrogant and dismiss him. And oh shocker, it turns out that yeah, Konshu was right.

Scales cult, who knows, maybe they became disillusioned with Ammit after she was imprisoned and their leader was committed to a psych ward. Could've been left up to interpretation.

Nope no D.I.D. though I did write a paper on it during my short time in community college.
