Got our 2024 calendars yesterday at a kiosk in the mall. Obama, Michelle, and Kamala Harris each had their own calendar, filled with pictures of them, and each had their ugly mug on the cover. I strategically placed WW2 warbirds calendars in front of them all.
There does seem to be a growing awareness of how wacko the universities have gotten and a lot of big donors are pulling out, scaring the shit out of them, along with a trend among the young to not go to college at all. Maybe the higher education scam has peaked.
What was the name of that movie with the aircraft carrier that goes through a time warp.
“Sweet tooth” yeah, that’s a nice way of saying addiction. I am to carbs what a heroin addict is to heroin. I get a huge dopamine hit, then crash and feel like shit. I get triggered seeing pictures of birthday or wedding cakes. If I get too close to the bakery section in the store, I’m drawn in like a magnet and if my husband isn’t around I might buy a cupcake, eat it in the parking lot, and throw out the evidence before I get home.
I too feel so much better on keto but it’s like how a heroin addict’s life gets so much better when he’s clean. The damn stuff is always calling you back. I’ve been like this since I was a little kid but could get away with it when young. Stayed slim and no imminent diabetes but not so now.
I didn’t think of it as a NY resolution but I have sworn to cut out all carbs and lose the weight I gained over the holidays. People give us carbs as gifts. You can’t expect everybody to remember you’re eating keto. And it’s not like I’m not going to eat the stuff. That would be rude and unappreciative.
I guess people can always find a way to not like someone as long as it isn't Trump.
I have a lot of problems with Nikki, but I have a lot of problems with all of the candidates. I think I have fewer problems with Haley than with most of the rest though.
To me it boils down to who can keep the Dems from winning again because the worst R candidate is better than the best D candidate.
Nikki Haley turned me completely off when she said no one should ever be anonymous on the internet. All our activity needs to be under our real life name. What is she thinking? What if you want to meet online with your “Alcoholics Anonymous” group? What if you want to make an anonymous tip to the police of some crime you know about but don’t want to risk revenge from the criminal? I assume right now you can anonymously drop a dime to the FAA on a drunk pilot.
How about you want to make anonymous donations to some worthy cause? What if you want to hide your activity from your abusive spouse or a psycho stalker? You have been told you have terminal cancer and want to google research it before letting all your friends and family and coworkers know? You just want to look at porn but don’t want a cyber trail leading back to you? Or how about you just don’t want marketing corporations or government knowing about all the general stuff you do on the internet even though it’s all innocent but it builds a unique profile of you?
I can’t vote for her just on this one thing.
I’m going to stay tucked into this little corner of Texas where we don’t have terrorists. Unless they nuke Houston or Galveston or something. And I don’t discount suitcase nukes.
A few stories this week in the local rag about the Boston mayor having a "electeds of color" "hoiliday party"
I've been trying to think of how anyone would think a "electeds of color" party (holiday or otherwise) would be a good thing.
I'm tending to think people are confusing diversity with divisiveness
I lived and worked in Japan for 2 years.
