You're right that it's wrong, but ostracism doesn't strike me as something that can be outlawed—not just because it's one of our fundamental primitive social behaviors, but because of logistics. I'm curious how you envision it working? That is, you could probably forbid a church from declaring excommunication in a formal fashion, but could you actually stop its members from shunning someone? It would raise a lot more questions, like what if one member of the church is revealed to have abused another? Does the church still have to welcome them back?

Those have a 5- to 10-year warranty, depending on which kind. Have you tried reaching out to GE for replacements?

That explains why Trump had his doctor release an open letter saying he had a 2cm hole blown in his ear

Would the shrinkage in the labor force make it impossible to provide end of life care and financial support as the larger generations age?

If you've seen pictures of people from cultures who don't wear clothing that supports breasts, you can see the difference in shape that constantly fighting against gravity makes.

There are a lot of factors that can contribute to sagging, but bralessness doesn't seem to be one. There are studies indicating that bras likely weaken breast tissue over time, making sagging more likely in people who wear them regularly. Of course, even those studies are tricky to generalize to the broader population because of how many factors there are to control for (breast size, pregnancies, tobacco use, genes, etc etc etc). What we do know is that the difference in breast shape from one whole ethnic group to another is largely attributable to genetics, and as for the photo: those women simply have very different bodies.

Interestingly, photos of African women have been used countless times throughout history to dishonestly market bras to fashionable Westerners. The image of African women who simply have a different body type from their own has frightened millions of white ladies into bras.

No matter how much you want that, getting over your ex won't make you more attracted to your girlfriend/roommate. But there might be someone out there that you will feel strongly enough about that the ex problem will take care of itself.

There's a wide distance between supervising a young child responsibly (which obviously must be done at all times) and engaging in play (which you should do when you can and you'll be glad you did, but if you just don't have it in you, it's not a crime to sit quietly for a few minutes).

Not to promote violence, but I'm afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

Wtf is "redneck agenda," the farmers almanac?

I figured the purpose was to warn us that these devices have been left plugged in while not in use, which is not advisable because they can become a fire hazard.

This is an extremely common thing to hear from a teacher the day after they return from an absence, indicating that your class's behavior drove the poor substitute to leave the teacher a note so searing that it will go down in school history. Punishment follows.

The highlighted section of that link reads as follows:

The research found that putting the toilet lid down reduced the number of both visible and smaller droplets during and after flushing by 30-60%. However, use of the lid also increased the diameter and concentration of the bacteria in these droplets.

The article doesn't indicate whether the total bacteria contained in the now larger and more concentrated droplets is thought to be comparable to that contained in the full spray of open-lid droplets, which means a precise comparison isn't available, so technically I guess it could go either way. However, common sense tells us that many of those microorganisms will either get stuck to the underside of the lid or fall back into the water, so it seems nearly impossible that closed-lid flushing could spray 100% of the microorganisms that open-lid flushing does, right? So if the best (seemingly unlikely) scenario for open-lid flushing is that maybe it only sprays the exact same number of farticles into the air, then what's the appeal?
