decide what these things mean (which is what they used to or should mean) and celebrate them to show that they belong to us too and we're not giving them over to fear, hate and bigotry.

they're the ones that get to define what these things mean and have tried to assign a negative connotation to some. Things like immigration, diversity, equity, equality by their definition are all very bad for this country.

I say we take these things back. They belong to us all. I say that we

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

37 million years old whale spine found in the hot dunes of Egypt. This is a complete skeleton, the first-ever find for Basilosaurus, a large, predatory, prehistoric archaeocete whale uncovered in Wadi El Hitan, preserved with the remains of its prey.

They're right. When they bombed that school they committed an international crime.

We shouldn't have to do research on every account to figure out if it's parody or not.

I caught on though. Give us a bit of grace, we're living in dangerous times and some of us who need the humor may not recognize it when we see it.

I get it now. I'm as light a a feather. There's nothing about this that says, 'hey this is funny'. Not every parody or joke is obvious, most especially in these times when we're all on
edge.

So, please πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈgive people a bit of grace.

It would likely depend on who programmed it and how it's programmed. I would assume that AI could be programmed to look for the good and expand on it.

However, it MUST be closely regulated no matter who programs it.

These people are not cunts (the strongest, most elastic, life giving organ any humans, all women, posses). These people are assholes, liars, cheats, fuckwads, idiots, jackasses, criminals, traitors, cheaters, bigots and haters BUT NOT CUNTS WHICH ARE USEFUL AND IS NOT AN INSULT!

Hey. I'm a woman and I have a cunt. I'm neither stupid, a liar or a traitor. When you call someone a cunt intending it to be an insult you're insulting every person on earth that has one.

Don't you realize just how misogynist it is? I hope you're not a misogynist. Do you use the Nword too?

I agree. Like Biden and far too many in this country she sides with Isreal, even when they're so very wrong. I mean how could we ever not be on the side of the government in the country where Jerusalem is and where all our mutual bible BS comes from?

Assad, Maduro, & now Khamenei. Putin has lost three of his closest friends in just over a year. He didn't help any of them, said the head of the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affair, Sybyga.

This proves that russia is not a reliable ally, even for those who rely heavily on it.

Seattle I think has that rep because of Starbucks (who's coffee sucks big time if you ask me). Portland is very much a coffee city (microbreweries too). You can get strong coffee here. ☺️🌹
