Went to dentist yesterday. He mentioned people are absolutely destroying their teeth grinding at night that’s he’s had to schedule four emergency surgeries for people who previously had no problems. So if you have access to a night guard for your teeth that might be a good idea.

I found myself clenching my teeth last month.

I stopped in a few days, but I’d never done it before.

I found this really helpful as I suffer greatly from night teeth grinding (my husband says it sounds like I am chewing rocks)

Being a police officer or being conservative isn't an inherent part of who you are as a person. Being Jewish, being gay, being a POC, those are. I can't stop being gay; I could stop being a police officer if I was one.

mlmp08 posted:

Extremely cliff-notesy, so someone correct me if I gently caress this up:

-France and Spain had colonial holdings in Africa, including Morocco and portions of Western Sahara.
-In the 1970s, The Polisario (a leftist organization) and the Western Saharan peoples (Sahrawi) tried to establish independence. The US and other westerners opposed this, because Cold War and any leftist is obviously evil.
-Mauritania gave up its Western Saharan holdings to the Polisario, and then Morocco immediately seized the territory with US and French support.
-By 1991, a cease-fire was established with aid of the UN with understanding that there would be an independence referendum. Morocco has never permitted a referendum to take place. Virtually no countries recognize Morocco's rule over Western Sahara, but France and the US are kind of a big deal.
-Recently, (October), there have been nonviolent Western Saharan protests. Morocco has responded violently.
-The US and France have repeatedly threatened to veto any UNSC action on this topic
-Morocco has been friendly to US/French counter-terror and counter-insurgent actions in Africa
-the Polisario resumed attacks on Moroccan military forces in November-ish of this year as a result of the october crackdowns and general 29 years of zero progress on a referndum
-Algeria has typically supported the Polisario, but their economy is rough as hell right now, so it's not a good time for them to be involved
-The US and France endorse a Moroccan plan for West Saharan "autonomy," which is... uh... not very autonomous.

E for typos

Also to add that:
1. Morroco has a sand berm that they erected to keep the Polisario Front and SADR (who have been in Algerian refugee camps) on the mostly sand side whereas Morocco administers the side with the larger town that starts with an L and where phosphate mine / conveyor belt is. The sand berm may also go a bit into Mauritania.
2. Algeria has supported the SADR and Polisario since the 90s.
3. If you ask why something hasn't been done militarily it is that Algeria is stronger than Morocco who is stronger than the Polisario so anything more than security forces would have had regional implications
