He really does not want parents watching his movies while the kids are asleep

Republican nominees lie to the Senate to get approved.

In large vehicles, especially.

I drive a commercial van for my largish family, and without a backup camera it would be vastly more dangerous.

A ton of produce looks unappetizing, goes bad and has to be thrown out.

If you become skilled at writing articles to even slightly plausibly blame the outcomes of Republican conservative policies on Democrats, you can develop this into an extremely lucrative career.

I wonder what Times Square would look like without the ads.

Because ~85% of males could physically overpower ~85% of females.

Young men too polite and well behaved to physically engage with women may underestimate the difference , and they may be taken by common movie tropes where a little girl is a secret martial arts master and beats the shit out of fifteen guys. But in real life the physical difference is enormously biased towards men and boys.

Men and boys know this and so they are more likely to try crimes. Women and girls know this and so they are less likely to try. This knowledge comes into play both when considering the crime, and when considering the law enforcement response to those crimes. (“I could overpower/slip away from / outrun that cop!”)

This explains the disparity in violent crime, but also leads to an overall mindset that explains nonviolent crime.

He kept his promise to appoint supreme court justices that would overturn RvW.

And he has kept his promises to be virulently anti-immigrant.

Edit: and he has kept his promises about imposing wild mindless tariffs on anything and everything for any reason or no reason.

I can’t think of much else he has been consistent on

Our (large, 2 parent 6 kid) family is friendly with nine other households in our neighborhood. Meaning their kids hang out with my kids and we know each other and talk semi frequently.

I live in a suburban development in South Carolina.

The charges are in the UK, which is trying to extradite them, which is why they were arrested

“Don’t print lies in the newspaper” is one of the first rules of journalism.

Caring about other people

I can appreciate a little fun pointing out inconsistencies while still understanding the movies would be considerably worse if the writers spent any effort trying to prevent Lemmy inconsistency memers.

Ohio?

I visited a distant relative in Ohio once and his small backyard farm’s soil was the richest most luscious black soil I have ever seen. Like something out of a movie or a fairy tale. He told me the soil there was like that going down 30 feet.

1)Antarctica has solid land below the ice 2) there are currently zero nations from Antarctica in the United Nations

I got subpoenaed once and the stenographer used one of these.

Older people such as myself tend to hate voice-to-text I think because it was so awful in the past. And if you screwed up with it in the past it was a less understandable excuse that “I was using voice-to-text.” And because we were all forced in some way to learn to type well.

Voice to text works a little bit better now. And I think younger people know everyone else uses it and to forgive when it screws up.

Social Securiry benefits are paid out based in how much you earned during your working years. If you earned more money while working, you get higher monthly benefits when you retire. Up to a certian point:

These benefits cap out at a certain limit. Accordingly, the social security taxes also cap out at a certain limit. Beyond that income you do ‘t get any higher Social Security benefits and you don’t pay any higher Social Security taxes.

This is because Social Security is not designed to be a progressive tax like the income tax is.

Our tax system overall should be more progressive. Maybe social security should be part of that. But it was never designed to do this.

I lived through the 90s, frequently saw snakes jump out of cans of peanut brittle.

But I basically never saw any real cans of peanut brittle.

I talked to a guy once who said he had shorted out 480v to a copper busbar. This vaporizes a bit of the copper, which then condenses in your skin, which is very painful. He also said he had the taste of metal in his mouth for the next entire year.
