And...no one (people I know) believes me when I tell them who the homeless are. Every one just holds onto the concept that they are just mentally-ill people who need to be in an institution. When I explain that any person's mental health decreases the longer they live without a home, a job, and a family for support. Homeless people end up turning to drugs because they can't stand the fact that their ability has decreased so much that a drug-induced hallucination is better than reality.

This is not ending with a Biden win. If Trump loses there are others waiting to take up the mantle. People that will look better (not physically) on paper so to speak. They will appeal to the more Traditional conservative, the mainstream.

A Trump loss will force MAGA back, after a bit of grumbling and violence, then they will become quiet. Not all of them. But the next fight will be 2026, 2028, 2030, etc. Though my belief thinks a better than Trump candidate will definitely be 2028 the next presidential election.

This Insurrection isn't over for them...just like the Civil War never ended for them. They have patience.

We must remain vigilant and push for more equality for all.

How does he get punished? He's the most anti-capitalist I know! I mean Free Trade and Open Borders is a Capitalist Theory!! He's anti-free trade, close all the borders! I really don't understand hate politicians.

This is the same argument that pro-slavers here in the United States were making before the Civil War that said no to that idea.

Regardless of what the median life expectantly is, I don't care I'm living to 100 years old. Barring accident of course. But I'm just too curious what the next 45+ years will be in the world. What are the new discoveries? New shows? What happens to the political situation? Will we become a space faring race? Or will we have to solve the climate crisis first, and stop warring?

I want to know. So I'm working to make that a reality.

She's my heroine.

Oh, man, the next time my neighbor goes shooting off their mouth about how two men/women can't be good parents and the new childless BS I'm gonna look at him and drop this on him.

I shocked that such a good Christian would allow his children to play Pokemon. I was told by a pastor a few years back that Pokemon was evil, Satan's cards, etc., and that no good Christian family would allow their children to play it.

I guess he's a good political chameleon ! I mean he changed his stance on Trump.

How many would choose seat #3? I would.

What are we saying? Jennifer Connelly played a Dax??

Huh?

Sooooo, confused.....

Not that I condone any of this, but consider that the cultural disgust of marrying a girl under the age of 18 is a more recent and modern taboo. Back then, in rural United States, it wasn't an issue at all. Heck as a Gen X kid whose parents were from the Silent Generation, my mother married her first husband when she was 16 and he was 22. She never thought it was an issue other than she regretted marrying anyone at the age. But her parents, church, and teachers didn't think it was a problem.

It's hard to believe because most people might say Elvis lived in modern society but he's not. The 20th century was full of changes that we don't really think about.

oh heck yes it is a great series.

Ugh, why claim responsibility. They should have just scraped as much as they could for as long as they could and then just dump to the internet and every news organization.

But never claim responsibility. Be a dystopia anti-hero - never tell just get the work done to bring down fascists.

His thumb in his pants. I feel like I've seen Abe (not shirtless) posing this way before. It looks familiar.

Or it's just because I dated a guy that would lean back like that.

This is the end of Season 2 of Picard!! Borg Queen only assimilates those you want to be assimilated.

I toked more of that last night - I'm still alive.

So, we can do what a bunch of aliens did to O'Brien when they tried, convicted and incarcerated him for 20 years and it was 20 minutes in real time.

Definitely listen to the audible book The Hum and the Shiver it has fairies in the Appalachian mountains and definitely has red-neck voiced fairies.

Well, I paid about $2500 for my hip in NC.

I'm in my second half of life as I plan to live to be a minimum of 100 years old. Part of my plan, is to never retire from work. It made be an American thing but I don't think retiring is for me. I like working even when I'm not crazy about the job but I've gone back to school to get a Master's and just got a job more in line with my education. And I still have at least two more career changes. Working further into my field as a scientist and then probably end up teaching at the college level all the knowledge and wisdom I've gained in the field.

The best news I've had in the last few weeks is that someone thought I was at least 22 years younger than I am. I thanked them and told them I could be their parent. That totally freaked them out and they asked how is that I look and seem so much younger than I am.

My only explanation, I keep making friends regardless of that new friend's age. I keep playing video games, and reading. I also just walk and have a cheerful attitude towards life. Believing in myself, and a firm desire to live to be older than 100 years of age with the same passion for life I have had since I was 13 years old.

Lastly, I don't have a specific religion or belief in an afterlife so I've always intended to make the best of THIS life than worry about what happens when I'm gone.
