We found the thin skinned tankie.

You’re like the butt of UDP joke.

I simply forgot Gen X existed

We’re used to it.

Right off the chain.

Alliterate all auspicious actions at all available activities always and ad astra, amigo.

Like the whale?

They have an amazing art museum and lots of good restaurants.

I did not know about the leaps in charging they’ve been making. Thank you.

Which is the first tech billionaire to go full Ted Faro is anyone’s guess.

Thank you for that.

I’ve long thought we need a non-military service branch much like you describe and for much the same resson.

In my experience it isn’t just “rich” kids but anyone that grows up with minimal adversity and exposure to people outside their immediate (sheltered) bubble that are really hard to work alongside. Anyone who hasn’t been told “no” enough to understand the world doesn’t cater to them, really.

Be better

Oh good, so Google has stopped all political donations and canceled all government contracts so they can stay out politics?

No? Ok fuck you.

Just wait until you or someone close develops an autoimmune disease, then the trust meter falls off a cliff during round after round of tests and “you’re fine”.

Or if you have a bunion that skews your big toe 35° but they tell you it’s not bad enough for surgery and there’s nothing to be done for it.

Or…yeah we could be here all day just for the system’s failings for me and my wife.

And there’s our lack of or inadequate mental health coverage and care.

And that’s just one example.

The most glaring generator of mistrust for decades now is the thing citizens discuss all the time but is never addressed: our out of control military budget.

We could solve every one of our country’s financial issues multiple times over by reducing the military budget, and not even drastically so.

Our military was tasked with an audit to reign in waste and spending. They couldn’t pass an audit so they were just given a free pass, no penalties or repercussions. The first audit was 2017 and they failed to pass. They failed two more since then. Senator Sanders intoruduced a bill in 2021 and again in 2023 which required an audit and was supposed to impose penalties for failure, it’s been introduced so we’ll see how that goes.

the facts of reality that I’ve already stated

But you never stated facts or reality.

You’re trying to argue that races exist as something other than social constructs.

Different Races for humans have no genetic or biological basis. Period.

Blonde is not a race. Brown eyed is not a race. Brown skin is not a race. And on and on

Well said, even if you are the grossest of schnapps.

That is an amazing idea!

We should make a site where people can set up their own internet homepage. Each person can have their own space on the internet! To give the users a sense of ownership let’s call it MySpace.

I think my friend Tom will help design the site.

inFamous Second Son did this well. Deslin, the main character is from the Akomish tribe and … oh hell I just came in from rebuilding a retaining wall outside and that’s all I got.

Deskin, Akomish, good game, well written character.

I watched Beverley Hills Cop as a kid. Axel F is the only thing I know how to play on a keyboard. I did not realize Axel F was Axel Foley until a couple years ago.
