I have been thinking of technological retreat. Not just helter-skelter, although that would probably work, but in a planned and paced retreat.
Let's start with petroleum use. Let's taper off.

It is to laugh!

She doesn't know that predatory men can sense that signal. Often rape victims are threatened or raped again. I cannot explain it, and neither can my friend.

Perhaps I should have said "Involuntarily emits" a signal. She does not/did not elect to emit that signal, since she was first raped at the age of 8 years old!
That is NOT how I perceive her. In a way, she saved my life. Strong and steadfast she is.

I'm sorry.
My former wife is a rape victim. With me she was solid and steadfast, but I know from observation that she still radiates a sort of victim signal that draws those sort of men to her presence. I am thinking of buying her a Derringer in a little beaded bad.

LEFT BRAIN
seems safest. Dependable. Rock-hard. As sure as math. Solid answers.
I have noticed that when people are scared, the more they seek established paths.
Alas.
The beaten path is the hunting grounds of the ambush predator.

He joined, but he isn't active?

The print in red is too small for me to read. I think I am missing some crucial information about this video.

Place my door, dammit!
And pay a pretty penny for the stress you have caused us.

CREATIONISTS
You are not exactly correct, you have just assumed you know HOW God created everything.
(And how long it took.)

Pretend you see a little video of God (white clothing and white hair and bilateral symmetry) adding just a drop of "Evolution" to his new culture in the petri dish.

What a colossal and odious bad-gas emission!

I hate to laugh at this!

Let's focus on the violent offenders and give a break to the folks working at KMart and Home Depot.

heh heh ... damn!

I need an "approval" button.

I am not so quick to call RFKjr a nut job. It is true that he sometimes seems to rush off after his impulses, but he is asking serious questions. He has listened to a large number of concerned parents. Let's hope he doesn't wreck the shop chasing after a single mouse.

Columbo, you darlin'.
I always loved the way that, as he was leaving the room, he'd pause and turn around and hit the "suspect" with a bomb.

If each of us builds a model of reality in our heads and lives by that model/map, it might work out that for some people the Earth really IS flat.
Personally, I like the Earth being mostly a ball --> a slightly misshapen ball. (Like all the other planets!)

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.

She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.

Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

NO KING DAY PARADE IS GREAT SUCCESS!

A "march" is a rather determined/angry parade.

Missoula's "Parade" estimated at between 6,000 and 15,000 participants, depending on the political leanings of the reporting agency. We have settled upon ~10,000.

~10,000 smiling, hopeful people!

commits act of war

Our country, and cohorts, have been aching to go to war with Iran for a long time.
Now, thanks to a feral Netanyahu, who attacks with no provocation, while committing genocide elsewhere, it seems the floodgates have opened.

Culturally aware comedians -- I am thinking of George Carlin and Mark Twain -- turned into grouchy, embittered ol' duffs in their last years.
And no wonder!
Imagine analyzing our present American society. It is mostly rabid reactionaries and stunned democrats. The only real life is on the streets.

George Carlin turned into a bitter ol' duff in his last few years, but no wonder. The culture has decayed into rabid reactionaries and many stunned democrats. The only real life is on the streets. Carlin analyzed the culture.

Tons of fuel gone in an instant. Should have made that shot on the 4th of July.

Do you suppose faith in Musk has something to do with his success? As faith in his "genius" has declined, so has his success on achieving greater goals?

Have courage.
Thank you for standing. These are dangerous times all around. Being high-profile in a time of danger requires courage.
How can I tell you to refrain from being foolhardy? Is courage itself foolhardy?
Blessed be.

NO KING day!
I heard an estimate of 10,000 people in Missoula, Montana.

I need a friend that's a flat-Earther. I'm not going to do a lot of scoffing, but I'd love to ask a passel of questions as part of a study of flat-Earthers.
