That’s still a pretty Euro-centric religious way of viewing the world. There are far more people on this planet who start the year with Lìchūn. When the sun reaches 315° longitude.

Central Asia where the Vedics came from is even more ancient. Some of those symbols used in India can be found on rocks in Central Asia going back 12,000-20,000 years.

I chuckle every time i read BCE.
You’re still starting the calendar with the birth of Christ. So the desire to be non christo-centric is pretty hypocritical. It’s an attempt to still force Christ on others by assuming they are too stupid to notice.
Calling a rose a tulip doesn’t make it a tulip.

If you go to the library they’ve moved all the books about Americans fighting for freedom to the fiction section.

Yes we did grow up with good music but I’d rather see a new wave of good creativity rather than the formulaic crap that’s being produced now.

We’ve got one in our car. They’re not expensive.

My fight or flight response (autonomic) actually works in reverse now. Standing still is extremely stressful but break my arm and i’m the calmest person the ER has ever seen. I cut my finger down to the bone last week. My heart dropped from 126 to 60.

In my case it triggered two disorders. One causing autonomic nervous system dysfunction and the other affecting my kidneys causing metabolic acidosis.

Are you referring to my genetic disorders being triggered by a car accident or just my personality in general?
The genetic thing is actually quite common. It’s called diathesis and it’s why so many people get autoimmune diseases following a major trauma.

Ouch.
My accident triggered some rare dormant genetic diseases which i’m still not sure if I should blame on the accident or just having really shitty parents.

I also always leave escape room with an escape plan when stopped in traffic. And always watch the review mirror. That’s how i was able to escape being squished like a bug when i saw the truck coming up behind me.

Nope. That could become a projectile in a severe accident. Keep nothing in the car that isn’t secured.

I survived a collision with a fully loaded semi going over 100 k/m without a scratch. Planning never hurts.

I was almost carjacked at a stop light once. Lock your doors always

If you are in a fiery car crash odds are that your door is warped and won’t open anyways.Always keep something in the glovebox to smash your window

If you end up underwater the water pressure will prevent you from opening the door

This article completely ignores the reality that single fathers even exist.
single fathers also face lower annual income and lost promotions resulting from frequent absences or fewer hours at work. The article assumes fathers are married and it is always the woman who works fewer hours.

A well stated position for someone who thinks the world revolves around them and everyone everywhere throughout all history shared the same values as them.

Your statement should frighten every American

Yesterday i was watching hummingbirds at my clematis. Definitely not the winters i grew up with.

No one with money deliberately looses money. That’s simply not how wealth works.

Every time the rest of the world thinks America couldn’t possibly elect someone worse, you prove us wrong.

You hoo! It’s us over the fence here. We tried to tell you this his first term.

Don’t worry. Destroying the US is also on his list of to do’s. He hasn’t forgotten.

Abolishing a police type agency accomplishes nothing. When the replacement agency is created the people who go to the top of the list are those with related work experience. AKA the people who just lost their old jobs. Reform is the only way to weed the bad apples out of the system.

I’ve always told my family i’m worth more dead than alive. Several gold crowns and a titanium rod.

I’d shake your hand but.. well.. you know…

He’s not even trained to use his pepper spray properly. He’s using it like it was mace.

Finally, an activity that we can all share.

Now if only a hundred million people would join them.

the vast majority of people don’t do that and restaurants are switching back to plastic straws. If you consider that plastic straws only account for 0.02% of waste in the ocean the argument is better spent on other items like cigarette filters which can be controlled at manufacturing

It’s official. I have done the impossible. I have managed to sprain my ankle while sitting on the toilet.

Mandating that all straws be made from recyclable plastics would have been a more logical solution than an outright ban.
Charge a refundable deposit and homeless people will collect any discarded on the street when they collect the cans and bottles.
