And the ones who were too young or missed out on Iraq will soon get a chance to do the same in Iran.

A food case of don’t judge a book by its cover?

Per person? Gay men. Overall? Women, due to how many more straight women there are than gay men. Purely a guess though.

There has to be a way for some enterprising soul to start turning over ICE to ICE? There has to be something in the thousands of recruits that can get them arrested by their own?

It wasn’t just America. There was code used with women, girls about whose knee to avoid sitting on etc. Some people realized it was wrong but for the most part, society’s way of dealing was to ignore and pretend it wasn’t happening. And if a girl got pregnant - it was all her fault. The difference was the greater reach of TV, cable, magazines than previous decades which started to undo the secrecy. As much a people hate on Boomers, they were the ones who started saying enough already, there needs to be laws against this if people can’t figure out on their own that it is wrong.

If your brain was fully developed before screens came into existence, the screens couldn’t undo the learning you already had. However if you have spent your entire life viewing a screen and never learned to read, write, converse, dress yourself, etc and get to adulthood that way, your brain no longer has enough ability to fully erase that accumulated learning deficit. Many people under the age of 20 have large accumulated learning deficits. Unless babies, toddlers and young children are restricted from using them, the overall intelligence of the population will continue to decline. Apparently humans, in general, are very bad at learning from history. Through my life it was often asked how could Germans have allowed the Nazis to take over. We are seeing it in real time in the US. We also wondered how apparently advanced civilizations crumbled and their knowledge was lost. Again we are seeing in real time how that happens.

Or if you plan to feed them to anyone else, ICE agent perhaps? Don’t want people accidently murdering feds.

I grew up in a strict Christian family. I would bet that every single one of the kids forced to watch the Kid Rock special watched Bad Bunny once they were away from their parents. Even if they didn’t like Bad Bunny before, or after, it would have convinced them that it was something that they should see.

Give him a break, his hit song was from decades ago. He can’t possibly have enough brain cells to remember something that long ago.

Don’t need Antifa. Regular Americans will do just fine. Anyone who believes in democracy and the right of citizens to vote will do just fine.

Who cares? Does it really matter if he offed himself or if someone else did it? He deserved to die because he was a child predator protecting other child predators. There seems to be a lot of angst, mainly from men, about shit that doesn’t matter. He was evil. He abused women and girls. His friends abused women and girls. They should be behind bars at the very least. Everything else is non-productive noise.

Buy cheap basics: dried beans & lentils, rice, potatoes, pasta & whatever veg is cheapest - frozen if fresh is too expensive. Use onions, garlic, salsa and spices to make it tasty. Falafels are easy and cheap to make. Dal is also good. Farmers/Shepard’s Pie (can use veggie ground round for cheaper and vegetarian). Having a prep day is good to make chili or veg stew or other casseroles that can be portioned out over the week. Making more portions at once is cheaper over time. Oatmeal with cinnamon and a tiny bit of (real) maple syrup is a healthy go to breakfast.

I’m thinking about going back to a paper map. Has anyone else had a problem with Google Maps suddenly making insane routing decisions? There are a couple routes I travel often and I check before I leave, mainly for traffic conditions, but have found in the last couple months that Google suggests a completely insane route instead when there isn’t anything to detour around or avoid. It’s almost like routing is now an AI hallucination.

Need to get 1M plus Americans who believe in democracy to sign up to stand at every single polling station in the nation and defend what they believe in - the free vote.

And that seems heavy for the person depicted. Doesn’t look to me to be approx 270lbs?

Time to plan to have 50 or 100 people at every polling station in every blue & red state. There should be enough retirees, unemployed, house-parents, teens to make it happen. 1 Million average Americans of every political affiliation to defend their democracy for a day.

A good bun. A tasty onion. Flavourful cheese. What’s not to like? If it was an American factory bread-like bun with American Cheese, the onion might still make it edible.

That brought back great memories. Thank you.

A book I was just reading talked about the pluripotent cells and using them for medical treatments. The author was talking to a US lab but then their work was cancelled due to funding cuts. Doesn’t surprise me that China is taking up the slack.

While it was 100% predictable that he would be worse than Biden, that isn’t the worrisome part. It is the prediction that once he won, there wouldn’t be another real election and he would stay. That part is becoming more likely every single day.
