They will fuck it up too. The unintended consequences will be spectacularly stupid.

He knows a lot about heroin though

And, most U.S. politicians

Are you not from the U.S. friend? You’d think repeated domestic violence would preclude one from being a cop too. but, nope. murder in the line of duty? sometimes, not always. conviction for abusing power? rarely.

Nice!

Fuck trump, put him on the plane with the Senator.

No, I’m 50 (though I retired at 48). I saw an article over 20 years ago about how much of a deficit people had for retirement. The same week I saw how much it took to raise kids. That cost to raise kids * amount of average kids per household in the US = the amount of deficit needed for retirement. Seemed pretty basic.

Hopefully most of the police drones are from DJI, in which case China will just shut them off lol

I’m with Jesus on this one. She has had a target on her back from day one and she has done nothing but shine. No controversies, level headed. I’m not religious myself, but i would not be surprised if she were an angel lol

oh, for sure. i’m just saying, we will all turn out largely the same way regardless of who birthed us. we just need to be a good society and take care of each other.

Did you ever notice that a good number conservative people also have children that turn out gay or trans? Hence, why so many of them have such trauma. We as a society just need to be better and it won’t matter who is having the kids. We will all take care of them.

We have a lot more access to birth control, abortions, and entertainment than those in countries such as El Salvador. I visited it a couple of years ago, and it is a beautiful country with beautiful people. But, there was not a lot to do until recently as they started to clear out the gangs. So, when there’s nothing to do, people fuck.

Yes! Same with pets.

Yes, i believe it requires an attachment to the ego. I’m starting to lean towards the lesson from the 1983 film “War Games” in which it is better to not even play the game.

Yes, and I agree. I think this war will actually be won with intellect. It is pretty obvious which side leads on that front.

Agreed.

You could also put it in a Bible. Despite being the “religious” right, many of them would never pick the book up. At least, in my experience.

My wife and I are 47 & 50, and were fortunate enough to retire early due to the unfortunate death of both of her parents over the last few years. We have never once regretted our decision to not have kids. If we had, we would have created the same traumas that were created in us, instead we have had the time to heal them.

We would have preferred to still have her parents around, as we still would have been able to retire earlier than most. But, had we had children, we wouldn’t have been able to retire with the same inheritance.

Yes, we have a shitty landlord in Trump and Musk is the shitty house flipper that is driving up prices in neighborhoods while doing things like removing load bearing walls, which will fuck the next owner.

How’d we fair in vietnam? Is the taliban gone? ISIS?
