The charges are that they “defrauded donors” by paying informants in right-wing hate groups, and somehow wire fraud for paying those informants. Whether any of that is actually illegal is dubious

The SPLC is literally comprised of top-tier attorneys who will wipe the floor with the DOJ in court

Fyi, “obstrusive” is not a word that exists. I think you were trying for “obtrusive” but actually needed the word “intrusive.”

Remember that if you text back “stop,” you’re giving the spammer the info that your # is active, which makes it more likely you’ll get more spam. Use the “report spam” function in your text app instead

I just learned about the difference between psyllium and dextrin, and think I’ll stick with psyllium due to its insulin modulation and LDL-reducing properties. Both will give you great poops though

What do you use? I use psyllium husk and it’s gritty

I was able to stop sodas a number of years ago, and now the thought of drinking one makes me nauseous. A helpful crutch are those Ciao San Pellegrino’s, they have a tiny bit of sugar that makes them immensely more satisfying than other flavored sparkling waters. I keep my fridge stocked with the cherry and blood orange

I also do fiber every morning, but I don’t know if I’d ruin my coffee with it. I mix it up in a tiny glass with water and basically shoot it so I can enjoy the taste of everything else

First off, if you make a change to a higher fiber diet, you’re likely to have increased flatulence while your gut microbiota acclimates. Second, there are different fiber sources that each person may respond differently to. Personally, some legumes will make me gassy no matter how I cook them, but when I throw a serving of psyllium husk in whatever I’m eating, I have no problem.

Quite a few angiosperms have inconspicuous flowers. All grasses have flowers, but on most species you’ll never see them unless you’re studying them with a magnifying glass

Clearly still happening recently in Canada, how about the US?

Have any examples?

Maple trees are angiosperms and definitely produce flowers. They may not be showy, but they’re there

In English, in my opinion at least, “flower” describes the inflorescence at any point in its growth cycle, while “blossom” describes the flower at its fullest development. More often though, “blossom” is used as a verb meaning to bloom or to develop.

I grew up in Texas, and this was absolutely part of our US history curriculum (~1998)

If that’s your perspective, is anyone ever responsible for anything? Or is it all just genetics and hormones

No, the Texas Revolution and the Civil War were really different

The argument about which is more immoral, murdering or enslaving, is certainly more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.

But I am not in school anymore so why should I have to pay for that?

Guess who paid for your school while you were in it

Not for the guy at the urinal next to you
