  1. What an effing loon....
  2. I think they're Crocs...
  3. Not a gun guy, but I found this interesting: The Gun Industry Created a New Consumer. Now It’s Killing Us.
  4. It's not just religious zealotry that drives this, but a self centeredness that's at the heart of much of American life. Even if it's not a "I don't want other people to do things I don't like", we all have a little bit of "I don't want my money to be spent so that other people can do things that I don't like" in us. In this case, people with copious amounts of money feel even more territorial about it, and have the leverage to make everyone else's life miserable.
  5. That's the one I've been waiting for- I know him, and his family, from another life. Always angry, always looking for someone to blame and someone else to take advantage of
  6. So freaking cool- my understanding is that when you touch the nose/snout of a shark, you short circuit all of the bioelectrical sensors they use to hunt prey. That being said, I have no interest in testing "things I learned on the Discovery Channel" anytime soon
  7. Wait... So when we comment 'thigh' on a photo hereabouts, we're really saying "fetus"? That certainly changes some of my... Uh... Viewing habits.
  8. That's one of the places I agree with you. These passages aren't 'law', but seem to be taken as such by modern folks with a need for selective inerrancy.
  9. While I agree with you in a number of ways, many pro-life persons from Judeo-Christian frameworks will point to texts in the Psalms and Prophets (specifically Jeremiah) to support their "from conception" perspective. (I'd also note that, for Christians, this might be extended to include a passage from the Gospel of Luke)
  10. Water polio, then?
  11. Same for beets.... There was a comedian/podcaster (Carolla?) that said restaurants needed to give a red wristband to people who ordered beets, so they'd remember and not freak out the next day.
  12. Well, Gary Indiana has always been a bit freaky...
  13. The heat dome that might be coming next week is projecting temps into the 80s and perhaps low 90s... so even our "heat" is often cooler. (I'll be in Maui, so it won't make a shit to me)
  14. There's actually another bill that's a counter to the Equality Act and has full support of the Mormon church. It's modeled on a bill that passed in Utah, and works to balance LGBTQAI rights and protections with respect for religious beliefs as well. It ain't perfect, but at least it shows effort
  15. And suddenly, the average IQ went up in that room, while the BMI average strikingly went down
  16. If it helps, she's got Instagram and her own TikTok
  17. Just down the shore from our place... Golden Gardens is appropriately named.
  18. Shhhhh... Stop it. It's terrible here. Unbearable homelessness, de-funded police, women who don't shave (although those might be sasquatches), rampant communism, critical race theory all over the sidewalks. No one should move here. Not at all. It's better wherever you are... trust me. 😏
  19. Put them in the driver's seat of her car
  20. Maybe he's Charles Barkley?
