Hearing that Reddit is subject to a lawsuit over a mass shooting and the toxic crazy that some of its subs were allowed!? Reality was going to hit. The unpaid volunteers had their mod tools dismantled, and were effectively driven out. This short was only a matter of waiting for the right time.

You mean that the experienced staff, whose jobs were to make sure that campaign finance laws are followed, are all let go, for some unfathomable reason? I wonder who they can get to replace them?

I want to thank Putin for funding E. Jean Carroll's charities for helping abused women, and I am looking forward to more, even larger donations. Ukraine could use some aid, also, since Putin is feeling so charitable.

The contrast of one of the greatest SOTU speeches in history to an utterly creepy call to gather a nut-fringe group to take over the Republican tent is a two piece diorama of what we are today. We are the UNITED States. I hope everyone spends some time thinking of what that means.

I still remember that happening when the pandemic first was ramping up. Blue states purchased masks for essential personnel, while Trump sent people to confiscate the supplies to give to Red states donors for resale. Shipments had to be masked for supplies to get to hospitals in the wrong states. Republicans are doubling down on the war on blue.

I grew up when polio was a scourge. A relative was an anti-vaxxer, and one of her children was not given the Salk vaccine. Her child lived his life in braces, and over his lifetime, literally had millions of dollars spent on trying to minimize the damage from that one ignorant choice. Their family was bankrupted, and the entire family lived in poverty from that point on, spending every penny that they could, trying to undo the damage. There is a true cost of not getting vaccinated, but double-blind meta study has not shown any cost tied to getting vaccinated for covid, for the general population.

Check for yourself.

Where are these women going to find suitable partners to pick from? The smart ones left or will leave, the others will be growing sunflowers.

I would not date a female Republican, considering how far Republicans have sunk under Trump. I am male.

I was getting excited about getting a new vehicle, and was looking at a Tesla.

But, Nope! I'll ride a tricycle before Elon gets a penny from me.

Immune is overstating it, strongly resistant is more accurate. I hate labeled clothing, or team clothing. It irritates me when my car has a dealer label, and do not blow smoke about how cool I will look, with whatever or wearing whatever. If my vehicle moves from A to B, is reliable, safe, and doesn't cost an unreasonable amount to operate, I am good. Does anyone else parse ads, to see their actual claims in neutral language? And filter out the puffery filler words?

Make it noise-cancelling, however, and I am very interested. NRR 33+ brings a smile to my face.

News sank to being edutainment. The outrageous gets air time and eyes while actual news that can be used is boooorrriiinnnggg. Then, we have to have the obligatory awww and feel good story at the end.

The court's work speaks for itself, far louder than Barrett understands. The misperception about the court's work lies in Barrett's skewed reality.
