This is apologia.
Why, through centuries of Muslim scholarship, was this conclusion not came to earlier? There are thousands and thousands of pages written by thousands and thousands of Muslim commentators and scholars that did not have a problem with her age at marriage, nor consider it particularly notable. It’s only now, at a Western university, in a world which unequivocally does not accept people fucking 9 years old that the story changes.
Aisha was active a long time after Mohammad’s death. How old are we suggesting she was married at?
There are other hadiths that mention her being young. So we’re throwing out a Hadith that many many Muslims have historically accepted, that seems to align with other hadiths that many many Muslims have historically accepted.
This is a clear Occam’s razor situation.
Is it “Christophobic” to point out that Mary was fourteen when God impregnated here? That seems to make the Christian god a clear pedophile.

Twelve Shia will let you get a temporary marriage, in case you want to fuck a prostitute. So you could probably rotate through a harem.

Bro, I dated a nurse who saw a girl die in the ER after an adjustment from a vertebral arterial dissection.
You pulled numbers out your ass and pretend they are authoritative. Here’s a fun number:
Actual medicine does things. Chiropractic does nothing at best, and can kill you at worst.
Also the random bullshit about trump and queerness does zero to advance your argument, and really just embarrasses you. I am cringing as a leftist trans person myself.

Acupuncturists and other “alternative” providers never kill anyone, of course.

your bible
Where has anyone mentioned Christianity? Sham science is sham science.

the answer is: you deny anything that isn’t in the bible.
Are you stoned?
- Comment on You're cured! 1 week ago:
Many of those studies in that meta analysis show limited short term effects.
Because there is no widely accepted sham protocol for DN research, researchers should incorporate cognitive influences that extend beyond the mimicking of tactile sensations to create a believable simulation of active dry needling.
I also think there’s a serious question about what sham/placebo dry needling would be, and if inconsistent standards could impact results.

the chiropractors can pull from sources that have worked for thousands of years
Chiropractic was made up in the 1800s.
- Comment on You're cured! 1 week ago:
Acupuncture can be a game changer, and is starting to become less “alternative” as some PTs offer “dry needling” now.
Why would you let someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory put needles in your body?
There is no evidence justifying acupuncture.

I really wanted to become a doctor when I was in college, so I went to pre med meetings.
You are not going to be a doctor if you have to work in college. No, you need to have time to “volunteer” at the right places and scribe. Don’t take challenging classes, because your GPA needs to be perfect.
The US artificially suppresses the number of doctors who can enter the work force every year - doctors have lobbied to keep the number of residencies and thus admissions to medical school low. And these rich fuckers are going to go into dermatology or other high paying fields, while family doctors in rural America are non existent.

That’s Palanhuik’s Rant. His non-Fight Club stuff is pretty unhinged.
I read Haunted in middle school, and it fucked me up, although it was funny to read “Guts” out loud to everyone on the bus. (Be prepared if you are going to read this one - it’s pretty famous for people fainting during live readings.)
- Comment on New kink unlocked 1 week ago:
Everyone is going bringing up Crash the novel/movie, but don’t forget this also a much weirder Palahnuik book where the erotic car crashes help a guy time travel and fuck/impregnate all of his female ancestors.

If you’d like some advice as to how to start, let me know. I’d be happy to provide you with some advice on how to start.
Do you have established communities of national board certified teachers with Google drives full of resources who are happy to provide timely advice on classroom management?
- Comment on Is the IOS Mail app supposed to be garbage and useless? 1 week ago:
It was an email address, listed in a profile. Clickable, but not copyable. Was happy to pop as a new email draft up in the IOS Mail app. Just not able to populate into the field of the drafted email I had already written and had open.
It would be nice to discard Facebook, but unfortunately activism and awareness raising requires going into the spaces people already are. It’s also where most teacher communities are, and the kind of 50 year plus classroom management wizard that I want to be getting advice from is not going to be on the fediverse.

Man, if you feel excluded by shitposters on a website, imagine how excluded you would feel being lgbtqa in a country where 40% of people think you are an evil disgusting degenerate who will go to hell forever.

Along those lines, I’ve noticed autocorrect has gotten somehow worse in the past ten years - it’ll sometimes try to correct words that are correctly spelled but uncommon to completely random words.

“Common sense” is completely and utterly irrelevant to the legal system. It is simply a matter of who can afford a better lawyer. And LA Fitness can hire a better lawyer than you can.

Oklahoma has to have something in the water. I had a parent teacher conference the other day and wrote “x+4=7” on the board as an example of something their middle schooler was struggling with, and I might as well as written 汉子.

Is it more stingy or thuddy? The cables seem heavy enough for a lot of thud, are the sharp corners of the end connectors stingy?

It’s a problem when it’s all that your partner cares about. Sex is great, but the vast majority of the time you spend with your SO will not involve fucking. That other 90% is important too.

Pretty sure that’d melt the silicone.
I left one of my packers in my closet just a little too close to the ceiling light and it melted.
