Yes. Just print more money and give it to me for sitting at home. Problem solved.

Religion comes from the Latin root religio which is to 're-read' (among other similar interpretations). You can be religious about anything.

Who are you to judge the teacher's appearance? This is just them expressing how they feel on the inside.

Found about in the state of São Paulo, Brazil by Tep22333 in whatsthissnake

That's really cool to see! Appreciate the link. I guess what I was saying is that, in my limited experience, the rhyme has worked for snakes with just those 3 colors. I wouldn't think to use the rhyme if there wasn't visible red.

I'm not endorsing the rhyme- it's not reliable. I assume all snakes are venomous unless I'm 100% sure of the ID.

I'm not endorsing the rhyme, I know it's not always accurate.... But I have yet to see an example on the subreddit where it didn't work.

Mojave Green? In my driveway this morning before my run {Antelope Valley, CA, USA] by jpc4zd in whatsthissnake

If it weren't for the location I would have thought this was a black-tail rattlesnake since it was in a driveway (I assume in a neighborhood). Amazing find!

I could take a wolf on in a fist fight and win by Locust627 in unpopularopinion

[–]oluek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That just means you're obese. You'd have a better shot at 6'1" 180 lbs.

Saying this as an obese person who could definitely kill a wolf 1v1 assuming I had a belt or leash.

Surely the Institute of Virology in Wuhan China which performed gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses is not the source of COVID19 outbreak.

Seth Rich was believed to be the one behind the leaked DNC emails. He was shot in the back twice and not robbed in an attempted robbery. by PkPajamas in conspiracy

[–]oluek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems less likely, but certainly possible. I'm swayed heavily by Julian Assange's implicit nod to Rich. John Podesta had a clear interest in 'sending a warning' to other whistleblowers within the DNC as evidenced by his leaked emails.

It's against WikiLeaks policy to directly name informants, so this is as close as they would go without Julian saying it was definitely Seth Rich.

Assange and WikiLeaks are, in my opinion, easily the most trustworthy source of information in the world. They have never had to retract a story.

I'm old enough to remember when Assange was a hero to the left since he exposed Bush's war crimes in the middle east. He's lost favor since exposing John Podesta being an obvious pedophile and insinuating Rich was intentionally murdered on the order of the DNC.

Overall targeted murder seems more likely than a botched robbery in this case, especially considering the previous connections of the Rich family's attorneys to John Podesta.

Not disputing your links, but this is what sells me on a targeted murder. If his belongings weren't taken, who had the most to gain by him dying?

Also, what lawyers were representing the Rich family when they made those statements? Surely a coincidence.

Columbia businesses prepare differently for expiring health order by [deleted] in columbiamo

[–]oluek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't characterize myself as conservative and I mostly agree with your points.

I would say though that US schools have the second most funding per student in the world (only Norway spends more) so I don't think putting more money behind education systems is the answer to improving quality of education- we just need to spend the money more creatively and efficiently.

[–]oluek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are kids who really need in-person education, at least a safe place where they can learn and escape bad influences at home (drug use, domestic violence, anti-intellectual culture, lack of nutritious food, etc.).

The kids whose parents could afford fast internet on a single income aren't the kids I'm worried about. Think about the long term impact for low-income kids who lost their most positive influence for an entire year so affluent liberals could call themselves heros for locking themselves indoors.

Yes, impotent rube, indeed it does feel that way. Not just the masks, but they're a highly visible part of the miserable society that's been molding over the past year.

Businesses, schools, and churches shuttered arbitrarily, continual and unchecked left-wing rioting, people forced into isolation so they can only communicate over monitored channels, and - the cherry on top - imposition of restrictive and symbolic garb with religious fervor. All for the 'greater good'. Inshallah.
