It's a really pretty fish isn't it? I'm used to seeing them preserved and the colour doesn't come across.

You seem to be speaking as if genocide is the goal of every war. It's really not, and in fact it's against international law which most countries stick to.

Genocide is quite rare through history because generally once you have complete dominion over a people you stop and start to rebuild. In the Iraq war (which was quite an extreme war with quite a lot of rule breaking) they allowed the people to eat, they allowed aid trucks free access, there were even British hospitals that treated Iraqis. Most importantly they took measures to reduce civilian casualties, like avoiding conflict in populated areas.

This 'war' is not following any of those rules. The people are not allowed to leave, aid providers are being directly targeted, any supply of medical equipment is prevented from access.

Anyone at this point sitting on the fence going "Well both sides are in the wrong" is either misinformed or evil.

I wouldn't use leftover foam, as someone mentioned, you don't know whats been on it, could be dyed or treated in a way you don't want, but absolutely don't buy the replacement either, you can buy filter foam in big sheets and just cut off whatever you need.

Just to illustrate because I assume we're not in the same country, this is what I mean.

Just to clarify, nobody is entirely reliant on a guide dog. A guide dog is a tool that assists someone in certain situations, there's loads of tools blind people can use to navigate, they may have a preference but the prison systems don't really care much.

In sentencing, disability can often be used to get a judge to look at a non-custodial sentence, or custodial in an alternative environment, it can even be a mitigating factor to get a lesser sentence.

But if they do get put in there, then it depends so much on the system. In some countries they will treat you very well, in others you'll not survive long.

I kinda liked the made up stories, like some guy saying he hit his wife in the face cause she was 'being hysterical' just makes me upset about the state of the world.

Clearly fake "I sold my friends dog because she ate the last muffin" is fun.

Not attractive at all to me. I don't mind if a guy is toned, but muscular is really unattractive to me. The thing with attraction is that it's individual, and I know some women who would love this look, I tend to like geeky guys, but I have friends who like big guys, bald guys, short guys, skinny guys, attraction is just super individual.

It's like those doomsday cults that have to change the date after each time the world doesn't end, first they said everyone would drop dead in weeks, then months, I think now they're claiming that it's a slow burner like smoking.

It's not one condition, basically when your respiritory system is irritated it produces mucus, that's why you get a runny nose when you have a cold for example, but anything going weird there can cause this reaction, infections, tumours, anything. When there's an overproduction of mucus you might not notice when awake and upright as it drains away but when asleep laying down it can build up in certain areas. Your description of having to clear your nose and tightness on the lungs sounds like this could be whats happening and I feel like someone with a medical degree should have a look just to be sure it's nothing sinister.

If you touch food prior or during cooking then the cooking process is killing the bacteria. You shouldn't really touch after but even in that situation a small amount of bacteria in food that's about to be eaten isn't the worst. The big issue is bacteria introduced to food which is then stored where the bacteria then grows over time.

Google? Seat filler + name of the city

I'm really glad, he seems like a good egg, but I do wonder when Count Binface is getting his turn.

If he can't/won't travel to her and she can't travel to him then does it matter? It's going nowhere and they can be online friends or disconnect but the relationship won't progress.
