They make great photo opportunities.

This post has been living rent free in my head.

I wish the friend all the best, the calmest most laid-back baby, and a cleaner so that pile of books gets read.

My experience: I'm so grateful for audiobooks!

If you ask the people furloughed I imagine they'd feel it was bot appropriate and necessary.

So he thinks his own citizenship can be revoked?

Where does he think he'd have to go?

Or farmers could grow something people in the US actually want.

It's so funny seeing people from the US discover this.

Well d’uh. Playing with the lives of hundreds of people every minute!

A tube of Rexona Women Whole Body Deodorant Cream

I'm so grossed out by Rexona trying to boost their sales by telling girls and women that their WHOLE body is gross and needs deodorant.

In all my years of biking, running, hiking and working in crowded offices I've never encountered someone whose back, legs or forearms smell.

So there's a chance that there might be opportunities available after all the US doctors have made their choices?

Badges 💚

I need to know about the child kept in the cage!

The fabric might not be and the burning might not be dignified - I just find it amusing that the method of disposal is actually burning.

An American flag should be burned only when it's in a worn-out condition and no longer a fitting emblem of display, and it must be done in a dignified manner. The U.S. Flag Code specifies this condition for disposal, preferring burning as a respectful method, although other options like donation, recycling, or burial are also acceptable.

Apparently it's ok to burn the flag.

With all that's happening it could be argued the flag is no longer the symbol of honour it was and therefore no longer “a fitting emblem of display”

My mum and sister fell out while my sister was at uni. The only way she could get extra support was if mum signed a form.

Luckily mum did but I bet there are vindictive parents who won't.

Aslan - Saving Hope Foundation This sweet, playful pup is full of curiosity and love.

So cute but check out the ears on this one!

I'd adopt just to be able to use them as an antidepressant 😂

The flag is supposed to be burned when it's damaged isn't it?

No matter how pristine the fabric, each and every US flag is damaged.

It's up to Americans to decide if they're fighting to save it or letting it burn to the ground.

No, you said it was her fault for not being strong enough.

She was a child who would have no idea what she was getting into.

They're going to love losing that income stream.

Or maybe we shouldn't put that pressure on people?

We've got an outbreak in NZ. Memories are short. In 2019 we despaired over the deaths in Samoa (thanks RFK🤮) and now it's our turn.

The United States Flag Code provides guidelines on the proper display and care of the U.S. flag, emphasizing respect for the flag as a symbol of the nation. Key rules include displaying the flag only from sunrise to sunset unless properly illuminated at night, ensuring the union (the blue field) is never displayed downward except in a dire emer-gency, not using the flag for clothing or temporary decorations, and handling it with dignity, with destruction by burning being a preferred method for damaged flags.

A dress and a sweatshirt seemingly made out of American flags in violation of the law.

So they're policing the flag code?

Will that apply to all violations or just the ones Trump cares about?

So he'd rather have an unhappy "son" than a fulfilled and happy daughter?
Got it!

No, songs in English should not be allowed at one of America's highest rated television events of the year... not just for sports."

She just missed a comma. Given that most countries in "America" don't speak English I agree with her.

"No, songs in English should not be allowed at one of America's highest rated television events of the year... not just for sports."

Fixed it!

It's awful that you've had to do that but right now, if you have the means it's the only sane option.

Let the US suffer a brain drain as people opt out.

Most of the old school Republican policy headlines are fine - immigration, taxes, security - it's the way they approach and implement that's the problem.

Get back to Brazil. It's an amazing country. Why would you want to stay in the US and risk all that again?

Or this.

Any decent country would have told him to step down.

NZ has fired politicians for watching hotel porn & billing it back.

And if you do choose to have kids make sure your own children know it is a CHOICE and not expected.
