Views not my own unless they're good and/or funny.
It's a really weird game. A random selection of three views expressed, chosen to be confusing, and then you find out it was something unrelated they cared about. All it shows is that there are lots of different policy areas people prioritise.

Yes. And yet I want to play with it so bad.

If you're US-based: murena.com

I had an earlier version of Fairphone and reliability wasn't what it could be so I switched to a secondhand Samsung. But we are several versions on now and they're good phones - I'd definitely be interested for my next device.

That Wiki page is worth the read. The guy continues to describe himself as a "racial moderate" after committing an acid attack, and says he'd have integrated if the Bill had passed. Tough to portray yourself as simply a law abiding citizen in the circumstances...

"A timeout occurred" is what happens in the congregation when the person leading intercessions exceeds maybe three minutes.

This! This point is so important, and so unpopular. If we believe in tackingly inequality, we need to recognise the global scale of this problem, and this will mean sacrificing luxuries. But the pay-off is environmental and social justice. Painful? Yes. But worth it.

Behind a pay wall. Is the argument of the article really what the headline suggests?
