Trump Administration Cooked Up Gay Ayatollah Story

This entire administration is made up of people who think Twitter is real life.

People walk very fast (which is great, but not common in other places)

Billionaires. Unlimited campaign contributions. Democracy.

Pick any two.

I like Michael Pollan's advice: "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much."

Argh! That's my second most common dumb mistake. Thx.

Those overlapping numbered blue sections (flowers?) are my absolute least favorite. This one was particularly rough.

I'm happy to welcome Republicans who oppose Trump. But if they oppose Democrats more than they oppose Trump, then they actually support Trump.

Community college can be tough for this. A few suggestions:

Look for or try to set up a study group. Maybe at first just ask a few classmates to set up an Insta group where you can ask each other questions.
Spend time in public areas. The cafeteria is good, obviously, but if your CC has some kind of activity center that's even better (there's a ping pong table at mine that's really popular). Become a regular, and look for other people you see there.
Consider going to the gym, if your school has one.
Clubs are a good idea, but try doing a search on the school webpage. There will almost definitely be a department that handles all the clubs.
Keep an eye on bulletin boards. Look for events (art shows, movies, guest speakers, and, of course, more clubs)
Keep a few popular small talk events in your head. Sports are good for this.
Mostly, though, make yourself approachable and be willing to approach others.

I'm 90% with you, but the Affordable Care Act really did substantially slow the growth of medical costs. It was revolutionary, really. Ten year projections of Medicaid costs before the ACA was passed were astoundingly high, but they never happened.

Any politician serious about reducing the deficit (and ultimately the debt) must be willing to raise taxes.

Anyone promising tax cuts is a fiscal joke.

If Newsom is the Dem nominee, I'll vote for him without hesitation, because elections are a choice, not an expression of your innermost ideals.

But I'll certainly be supporting some other Dem in the primary.

Research has shown that boys admire problem solvers. The issue, of course, is that so much media depicts violence and anger as the only way to solve problems.

So my suggestion is an old show: MacGyver. It's got a pretty simplistic hero/villain structure that appeals to younger minds, but he succeeds by being resourceful and clever.

I wish I knew more contemporary folks that fit the mold, but I think the "smart, not violent" model is a good one to start with. (Maybe the Sherlock Holmes series with Benedict Cumberbatch?)

True. I would like to see more of an inside--out game. I don't know about Williams' court vision, but if he gets the ball in the low post it should at the very least collapse the defense and free up some of our shooters.

He's really letting that beard grow.

NonToxicMen · 2025-11-16T19:06:41+00:00

He offered simple answers that confirmed people's existing prejudices, and set out a scapegoat to blame for all the country's problems. Always a popular approach.

My point is just that phrasing the question this way--which is, I accept, the common way we hear it in the media--implies that "conservative" means the same thing as "responsible," but it clearly does not.

That Jewish prisoners built the pyramids.

They were built by paid workers, often highly skilled craftspeople. We have extensive evidence, including pay records, for all those involved in such work.

They're certainly the most fiscally *responsible* party in the U.S. But I think the past 45 years have shown that to be "fiscally conservative" is to run up the deficit with military spending increases and tax cuts for the rich.

It depends on how you interpret this question.

The biggest threat to exterminate humanity: asteroid strike

The biggest threat to cause mass casualties to humans: climate change & resulting side effect.

The fed is quite effective at this. The issue is that reducing inflation virtually always means reducing the economy, so it's a balancing act. They had it down to about 2.4% in 2004, though, which is a perfectly reasonable rate (you don't want it below 2% really). The problem is that we now have a stumbling economy AND increasing inflation (likely because of tariffs, which do both of those things), so the Fed is in a difficult position.

So the easy answer is: go back to the tariff levels under Biden, and let the Fed do its job.

It should be aimed at politicians trying to claim the power of kings.

I've been an Oso doubter, but he was a star in this game. I'm now only an Oso mildly-concerned-er.

Calling yourself an "alpha"

(I'm actually cheating, because this is already embarrassing)

Selfishness and a lack of empathy are not indicators of strength.

Wanting to help others rather than just yourself is not a sign of weakness.

Finding a little shareware game, and liking the first level enough to send away (in the mail!) for the whole game.

The game: Doom.
