    Great to see all of the champions of women in the NCAA transgender thread bringing up their daughters as reasons to be extra special concerned, then quickly turn around to call other women ugly for the sole crime of being a cheerleader.

    What?

  2. Somebody clarify this for me please. I thought that the petrodollar deal between USA and Saudi Arabia was “we protect you, and you sell petroleum ONLY in USD”. So now Saudi makes a deal with Russia to sell them petroleum for rubles. Wouldn’t USA have to respond to that and say fuck you, we are not arming you anymore?

  3. I’m one of those who had kids because my family and society in general expected it. My youngest is now 19. Overall parenting was not good for me. Especially with my youngest, who from ages 16 to 18 checked all the “troubled teenager” boxes. All of them including suicide attempts (plural), drugs, being arrested, running away, dropping out of school, attempting to steal my car, etc, etc, etc. I was left scarred from all that shit and now that I’m an empty nester I wonder if I will ever be able to be a happy person again.

  4. And speaking of nukes, Dyess AFB (along with other AFBs) used to have many decades ago, I wanna say 12 missile silos around it, like in a circumference with a radius of several miles. Those silos had the Atlas missiles that were propelled by kerosene and carried a nuclear bomb. At some point, when the Atlas missiles were replaced by whatever came after, the Air Force decommissioned the silos, took anything valuable or useful out, and sold the properties. The one in Lawn has been turned into a museum of sorts and you can visit it. The silo is filled with water halfway up. The gentleman that owns the place, if you contact him and tell him that you’d like a tour, is kind enough to meet you there and give you a very interesting talk about how it all used to work. If anybody is interested, let me know and I’ll dig up his email address.
