Man.... leave the house for just a bit, and get attacked 😉😍 when I walk in the door! Happens every time....

I judge based on actions and ethics / morals.... Not gender. She willingly crawled into a dumpster, and basically supported a platform of racism, hatred and disinformation. Maybe she got tired of being one of the bad guys?

Only 2% to 4% of homes are owned by corporations (not defending this, just stating facts). Most rentals are owned by small mom and pop LLCs... usually three to five homes each on average. So the biggest problem is not the corporations... but the greed of the smaller outfits!

Agreed! Look how many think Menstrual Periods are non-existent... or have no clue about how their own body works!

In other words, beware MOST christian movements... especially if evangelical!

Exactly...

This! 100% this! Thanks!

In a sense, posts like this are great... because I know who to block! ;) No where near as bad as a street bible crazy with a bullhorn, that is true. But also... the bible says not to pray in public with the wrong intent (which is what this post is!)... and we have no way of known the OPs intent!

That is true of ALL religious books... they all have some common sense stuff mixed in with crazy nonsense that is the majority of the content. And then people cherry pick to get it to say what they want, usually hate and bigotry!

Sorry... but most of the "christians" I know are absolute A-Holes! I am 65, and became an agnostic at like 12, and an atheist in my 20's after seeing all the hypocrisy and hate. And don't say keep my eyes on "god, not people"... HAH!

Yes... and never convicted, unfortunately. But fortunately tRump was convicted (found liable) of it (sexual assault) in a civil court (not to mention the 34 Criminal Convictions!). You must be a tRump supporter too?

A blow job is NOT a sex crime... and compared to the verifiable charges against tRUmp... Clinton was an innocent babe! You must be a tRump supporter?

New kitty in the house! This is Leo... he is helping me put his new cat tower together!

Too busy with his TACO business! ;)

I was hoping he would come out and play... but he just smiled at me!

I wonder how many here can (sadly) relate to this? I wrote this when I was about 20, but it was about my childhood. Not looking for sympathy, more trying to combat the kind of idiocy that this reflects! I apologize for it being a bit dark...

Heard an interesting anecdote today. Friend was up in Canada last weekend and, when entering via the Nexus line, there was a Tesla in front that got grilled for 15min. My friend breezed right through.

It would be *hilarious* if Canadian immigration officials were profiling Tesla drivers.

Opt Out by unplugging and placing where it belongs... the trashcan!

Thanks...

Just a week before he passed away... I miss him so much!

Give the Republicans some time... and that trend will reverse. Measles, Flu, Covid, etc... no vaccines, kids will die! So will adults...

PepsiCo joins major US companies in tweaking DEI policies PepsiCo has joined the growing list of major U.S. companies that are making changes to their diversity, equity and inclusion programs as President Donald Trump pushes to dismantle the practice across the federal government and private sector.

I am so sorry. I wish you peace!

I saw your Reddit post about Bluesky, also. Welcome!

And not doing anything will not change anything... and change is badly needed.

MMmmmmm... I need to make some Mapo... although I usually stick to Dunlop's recipe. I will have to check out the author you mentioned...
