“Idiocracy” comes to mind…

anti-social socialist.

The U.S. believes “might is right”, their entire mythology and culture is permeated with the concept that violence solves all problems. The elite at the top set the example, and everyone else falls in line.

They wouldn’t make them if there wasn’t an audience. I don’t find murders particularly entertaining, but there is no accounting for taste.

People change.

I am fine, my spouse has problems. Which by extension means I might have problems related to those.

That was what I was talking about in my original post.

So the only people who get murdered are the ones that give their murderer a motive to do it? I am reading a LOT of victim blaming on this thread. It certainly is a deeply held cultural belief that “they asked for it” is valid.

Life is not always like that.

I wouldn’t act like someone who deserved to be murdered by their spouse.

With early onset senility it doesn’t matter how you act.

I used to live in L.A. and visited the Bonaventure a few times. My most vivid impression of it and all the downtown office/hotel buildings was that these gleaming futuristic towers were surrounded by people living on the street in abject poverty and hunger. Millionaires and billionaires had to walk (or drive) past the homeless on a daily basis. I handed out bag lunches in the 80’s, and saw entire families living on park benches within eyesight of the Bonaventure.

I learned years ago that it is perfectly acceptable to “Just Say No” to social engagements that are more draining than rewarding. My mental health is more important to me than the approval of a bunch of people that I do not respect, including most of my family.

It doesn’t take all kinds, we just have all kinds.

Also: Too bad ignorance isn’t painful.

Fuck the magats and their orange narcissist god. Canada doesn’t need to have ANY association with them and their trade war against us.

And yet another yet, the comm description is: “There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!”.

Thank you kind person!

Never did a lasagna cross, but make Mexican Shepherds Pie all the time. Taco meat, potatoes, cheese with crumbled nacho chips on top.

Some ideas should never be allowed to fade away…

I have no problem with Nazis killing themselves, the more the merrier. I would contribute to a GoFundMe to provide them with whatever they needed to do the job.

This is the correct take. Anyone who paid the least amount of attention to Snowden’s revelations know that the USA harvests absolutely everything online. Americans have more to fear from their info being misused by their own government and the corporations that own it than by the Chinese. The push to ban TikTok is just an attempt to cut out the spying competition. And jingoistic Sinophobia.
