Do you have to be Virtually Married, before you can have Virtual Threesomes?

Riot and Looting control THEATER.  Like everything else these days.  Instead of rifles, the Guard is issuing Umbrellas.

Amazing. Five hundred National Guard not enough. Walz calling for 1,000 more.

Congrats on going back to the office, and on 37 years. We just had our 35th, and we did survive 2 months of being locked up in the house together without killing each other, but just barely.  This is the third week he's been back at the office and it's like I can breathe again. We got locked down early because we had traveled and his boss made him isolate for two weeks and just as that ended they made everyone go home.

I had made up my mind I wanted to marry a guy about 2 years older than me and about 2 inches taller, and also an engineer because I was an engineer. He is 2 1/2 years older and 2 1/2" taller (I was 5'10 1/2" and he was 6'1").  He had also taken flying lessons and was into Rocky Horror Picture Show, so I knew I'd met my soul mate.    Within 2 months of our first date he had proposed and I accepted.

Boy that sounds awful shallow. But we found we shared almost identical value systems and enjoyed each other's company which might be two of the most important things in choosing a mate.  That and whether or not to have children. He wanted 2 and I wanted 3 and we thought that was close enough. (He won in the end.)

Just looked up the specs. 

This jumped out.  Wow.

It's kind of ironic.  I've seen two different people doing the sign language for the governor's briefings.  One doesn't have the mask (but has a mustache and beard) and the other is a woman but wears a mask.

Maybe ironic isn't the right word, but hey, I were a engineer before I retired.

Many of us anyway. Generational distance from self sufficiency hurts. I heard some statistic recently that decades ago only some some percent of businesses needed to be licensed, where today a large percent do, I forget the exact numbers it was like 20% in the 50s vs 80% today or something.

The point is, look how the assumptions have changed, from we are free to conduct a livelihood to we need permission from some overlord to do so.

And we are too accepting of this.
