Well the earliest I can think of christians getting in to politics is ancient Rome, but I'm sure it's been happening since before then too. As for the US, something tells me they've been involved from the start, regardless of what the constitution says.

I think the particular issue with the dog meat industry is that it has high amounts of cruelty, even by meat industry standards. Iirc there's the belief involved that if the dog suffers it makes the meat taste better. So at many farms they are often tortured before death and killed in painful ways. They are also kept in horrendous conditions. Farm animals are often kept in horrendous conditions as well, but generally that's because of a lack of regulation and most people who oppose dog meat farms also oppose the mistreatment of farm animals as well.

So many suggestions here are so needlessly complicated. Just put some tape on the end of a thin stick 🤦

If she feels anxious or on the alert while outside then petting could cause her to feel overstimulated. For cats just being around you is a way for them to show affection, so if she doesn't like being overstimulated that may be why she's avoiding physical affection. Try just letting her sniff your fingers and maybe rub herself against you, and if she let's you, keep the petting to just her head if she's alright with that much. Then let her leave if she wants to. If even that much is unwanted then that's okay, just avoid petting her. Being near you seems to be enough for her. But it is definitely a sign that she cares about you, if she follows you the whole way.

One side is literally trying to erase the rights of people like me and my friends, while the other isn't. So what I think is that you should shut the fuck up.

Scholarships and Harvard grads don't make a school or its students "good". Sounds like the kids at your school were just as horrid as the kids at the one OP's son goes to as well. My condolences. But where I lived I didn't know a single kid who thought reporting to the man made you a snitch if it saved an underage girl from being abused. Kids who did stuff like that were considered heroes. Not saying my school was full of saints, it wasn't, but they had standards. At least they weren't completely depraved of all humanity. I wouldn't want to keep my kid in a school that would bully someone just for saving a young girl.

The level design of Dishonored 2 is also so good. So many memorable levels like the clockwork mansion. That shit was so cool and creative.

She has offered to bank roll the legal battles of a woman who openly advocates for trans genocide, and that's only one of her most recent actions against the interests of trans people. You're right that she has articulated her position well enough, but her position is absolutely not being supportive of trans people. I suggest you take a look at these videos if you want more info on the matter:

I know it hurts to come to terms with if you were a fan of her work, but JKR is unquestionably a terf.

No offense but if the people at your son's school are so disgusting that they'd retaliate for him reporting an underage girl's abuse then I would consider taking him out of that school anyway. I cannot imagine anyone at the school I went to when I was his age being that depraved, and I hated most of my schoolmates so I don't say that easily. That must be a school full of extra shitty kids that you don't want your son to be around.

Tell your son that not reporting this to police could put that girl's life in danger. He might be bullied at school, but she might end up dead. If he is so opposed to asking for help to the point of letting something like this continue then he could possibly use a few visits to a counselor to help him with that because it's an extremely unhealthy mindset to have. Imagine if it was HIM in her position, what would you want one of his older coworkers to do in that situation? Think very hard about that scenario and how it would make you feel.
