They seem find with ignoring the fact that a lot of people had shitty teeth, Europeans in the Middle Ages tended not to bathe too much, and the food was terrible just fine.  

I also think they weren’t as confident as they are now. No one was sure how successful the machine behind tRump would be, now they have the Supreme Court, a good chance of getting more power in Congress (plus Machin and Siemma or whatever their names are, if they need them). They know they have a solid chance of…

You don’t imagine they’re not going to get rid of the filibuster the second they have any form of majority?  Of course they are.  They know that, no matter how they fuck up voting, they’ve only got about 10 or so years of power via getting actually elected and if they don’t solidify staying in power without even the…

the hippocratic oath and the ‘do no harm’ thing is not legally binding.  it’s just words and doctors can be required to report things to the police, regardless of some oath they swore when the graduated.

At least in the US, legal ownership of guns is not a reason to remove children. And, in many states, securing guns isn’t necessarily required either. Cockroaches on the other hand, are a health violation (though, frankly, much less dangerous than an unsecured weapon). 

We have all self-owned, otherwise we wouldn’t be  in the worst timeline.

I’m not sure they’re setting them up as correct - but they are the default in our current media, which is the problem that everyone’s struggling with.

Just because some technology that was considered not useful became useful does not mean that every innovation/invention/discovery is, in fact, useful. I’ve seen no (in my admittedly limited) indication that NFTs or blockchain ‘coin’ of any brand, is going to be one of those things that turns out to have some use. …

I belive he owes a shit-ton of money and he’s tanked his career by being an end stage alcoholic, and - clearly- can’t let this go (which seems the state of the entire relationship), so he’ll keep digging.

huh.  Guy is famous for blowing his top an ‘trash’ talking.  Does trash talk. Gets banned.  If we don’t like those kinds of impulsive outburts, maybe don’t hire/forefront him in the first place.  That said,  there’s plenty of types of insults that aren’t based on intrisic characteristics (like race, sex, gender, etc)…

They’re grifters.  That’s all.

Honestly, that seems like both a more meaningful post - the women who are also fighting in the Ukraine - and somewhat withing Jez. wheelhouse.  Pity they went for the lowers possible fruit here.

Not sure that Faux News is a good arbitrator of taste ... or of anything.

Ukraine was in the process of getting admitted to NATO, one of the main reasons Putin invaded in the first place, and the same reason why he’s threatening ... Norwary? Finland? Both? Because they’ve been considering joining NATO as well.  NATO membership and potential membership is a huge part of this issue, aside…

But he also kind of has to, in his mindset.  He cannot afford to look weak or that anyone else in the world is more manly, brave, decisive and history making.  It’s the same mentality that is going to make him carpet bomb the entire country rather than give up on this stupid war, or makes him threaten northern…

While the whole sexy!Ukranian PM thing isn’t to my taste, it is actually possible for people to post dumb, non-serious whatevers about the man (who, yes, is likely to be killed in the next week or so) *and* do something more serious like protest, or donate money or throw the republicans out of their town or whatever.

meh.  delete.

It needs reform but Thomas and whatever is name crying bro rapist dude, are both vulnrable to impeachment - Thomas most.  But that depends on someone besides the repubs holding congress.

The larger issue is that people who use chat bots/metaverse/secondlife/etc become accustomed to a ... filtered version of relationships (whether it looks ‘good’ or not) and may not actually develop the skills or desire to engage in the same way in direct, unfiltered (ie: real world) ways. OTOH - between the constant…

probably because that’s kinda shady. Also, I personally think I’d rather see folks get their social consequences when they show how thoughtlessly selfish/otherwise awful they are.
