ParticipantIt seems an odd thing to joke about, bleach injection.
ParticipantMaybe I dont want to be resuscitated. I’ve always assumed the goal was to live as long as possible.
Maybe better to go out nearer the top

Participant[quote=Coronita]Karen #9. Manner Police
Etiquette while walking….
This morning I was walking West up (north side)the hill Ocean Air Dr. as I have many times. People (including myself) are always very polite & conscientious about moving to the shoulder in the street or trail if there is one, which I appreciate. However today as I approached a section with no trail I saw a group approaching so I got ready to move to the street. As I got closer I saw 3 groups of women walking together, each with a dog and some with a few children walking side by side spreading all the way into the street. None of them made any attempt to move to single file so I was forced out into the middle of the street. I really can’t believe the selfishness and rudeness. Not sure what else I could have done.

also…is karen a sexist term?
Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=svelte]Nextdoor is pretty bad. The stuff I read on there – and it’s not just the females I might add – is really obnoxious nosey Joe and Jane type of stuff.
Yelp is fun to read too. Some of the crap that people complain about from various businesses is just amazing to read. Makes me glad I don’t have to deal with the general public at my job.[/quote]

Does getting the virus make you immune?
I’m starting to feel like we should just go for it. See what happens.
Just out of curiosity sake.
Participant[quote=The-Shoveler]hmmm maybe not Comic-Con but you never know.
I would not be too surprised to see this just disappear as fast as it came and never return or just become a common cold/flu.[/quote]
I would not be surprised that my own desires would bias what I think the outcome will be.
Personally, I’m sick of this virus bs, so I’m pretty sure we will just go back to normal soon.
I also wouldnt be surprised to see trump have a stroke, pence embroiled in a gay sex scandal, gold hit 3,000, the meat industry collapse [wait, I think that’s happening! Yay!] and car usage go down 75 % permanently.
On the other hand I also wouldnt be too surprised if I got cv and dropped dead. And I’m definitely pro-life (mine, not strangers). Not sure if that also means I’m biased.
Participanthttp://www.adbusters.org is pretty good for flashy apocalyptic left wing entertainment.
ParticipantI never wear t shirts with any kind of writing on them for fear of setting some nut off, but HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY, like xmas ties, would be a nice seasonal item.
. It’s a phrase that may have only been ever uttered by trump and is stunningly perfect in its ignorance. Or maybe he meant, good riddance, glad they crucified the socialist longhaired freak.
Trump knows enough about jews to not say HAPPY YOM KIPPUR,

Or this solemn, sensitive tweet featuring a respectful trump in a yarmulke…
https://mobile.twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/913888647631577088
but thinks christianity is such a joke he says happy jesus killing day. Definitely trolling Team Jesus. It’s not ignorance…hes gotta be fucking with them. And yet, the jesus team is still team trump.
Evangelicals love trump. I dont think its just over abortion. I think they subconsciously want end times, and this is their man.
.after all, the bible is largely silent on abortion, except Torah,where causing miscarriages is punishable by fine. Not death, as opposed to murders, which seems to imply abortions not too bad. The new testament, strangely silent. Nothing. No quotes.
The text of the bible is definitely long enough that G-d couldve spared one line to clarify what THOU SHALT NOT KILL means…for instance obviously ok to kill in war, self defense and capital punishment, but not tiny baby embryos or fetuses. One line. All that endless, meaningless useless clarification, unreadable nonsense, and yet one line wouldve been so helpful in providing thumbs up for the anti abortionists theological position.
Jesus had bigger fish to fry, apparently, like caring for those here.
And the turn the other cheek language almost seems like a clarification of no killing in self defense.
Happy good friday, though, is classic. I thought, if the evangelicals still love him, he could piss on a virgin Mary statue, they wouldnt care.
Personally I am strongly opposed to end times. I dont trust anyone who thinks theres pros and cons to end timess. end times, all bad.
Nothing good about it.

Wait…I lost interest. Forget the whole venture[/quote]lol.
I have friends at both extremes. I have to say those at the far right are a little harder to take simply because they speak more harshly. But the far left is just as extreme.
I tilt left myself so I understand the left better. But I grew up in a far right household and I have to say my dad’s intentions were good. As are a lot of the folks on the right. it’s just they see things from a totally different perspective.
Maybe it’s walk a mile in my shoes thing, I don’t know. I’ll never be smart enough to know why the world is the way it is. I’ve made peace with that.
I don’t think we would have ever had a Trump had we not had an Obama. I really can’t figure out what set the right off so bad about Obama. All I can figure is that he was black. And just half black at that – maybe the 1/2 thing is the real reason? Other than that, I really don’t have a good explanation. (not that I think that’s a good reason, it’s just one that may explain their reaction)[/quote]
Good points.
I think, for me, I feel really frightened and like throwing up or lashing out whenever I hear the word Jesus or Christian nation.
Really–makes my skin crawl. Makes me afraid. Makes me want the public speaker TO SHUT UP, generally…however …
One thing I like about trump is he makes christianity sound absurd whenever he talks about it. I wish he would talk about religion MORE.
I have no bone to pick with actual jesus or any teaching–just with literally anyone who politically talks about christianity. It seems self evident to me it should never be talked about. But obviously I’m wrong.
If the right would just stop with the jesus shit, I’d probably tilt right.
Honestly. Financially, I should be an old conservative Republican guy. I guess a lot of old jews just go with the Republican tax program.
I dont really, when I think about, care too much about the financial well being of other Americans than me. I’d be more than happy not to share with them.
But I was bred from a very young age by very sincere, paranoid, neurotic people…do not trust the gentiles. They do not mean well. Look for the exits when they start shouting about jesus.
We are not the type of jews who favor israel over anything. We are the old fashioned post holocaust socialist leaning jews. Old New Yorky type jews that read communist newspapers and protested for the Negro Cause back when that kinda shit was actually dangerous.
I’m not sure there are many anymore. We stopped breeding. We intermarried.
Only the orthodox stuck with the religious program. Israel uber alles.man, I cant stand israel either. And frankly, most liberal jews irritate the hell out of me.
The only group I can stand lately are the Buddhists.
All these bible thumping rightwingers, seems like they’ve called a temporary truce on jew hating because they like Israel lately.
But in my DNA, my cells know. They would love to kill jews as soon as the coast is clear. That’s our history. Get the jew. Kill it. In jesus’ name, amen.
Better, safer to go with an inclusive left than those right wing Christian’s with guns. They will never accept you. They think you are evil.
All this is my subconscious thought process, obviously may or may not be connected to any current reality.
But political leanings are probably far more connected to tribalism and subconscious leanings than logical thought processes.
I cant fault the right wingers…they were bred as they were bred. Black people are dangerous, maybe? Obama is an elitist affirmative action weakling who who took a white guys spot at Harvard and is golfing when he should be working, a typical lazy African american who wants to take my health care and give it to welfarians. It’s not even clear where he was born.
They are no more or less nutty than me. We are all raised to think our reality is reality.
However, they are heavily armed.

Here is a balanced article on drought:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/southwest-megadrought-study_n_5e98f24dc5b63639081bdd89they focused on how this one is *gonna* be worse (as if they know) and fail to talk at all about the normal 300-400 year cycle of large droughts.
You’re pretty far left of center, scaredy. I think you just can’t see it from your vantage point.[/quote]
probably. If politcal views are viewed as on a sphere, I’d probably be so far down the curve I wouldnt be able to see the center anymore.
but as to your first link, it does look like it’s a good point from scientists about how conservative media edits misleading graphs to prove wrongful points.
but that’s kind of boring.
How about a better headline:
National Review staff member tries to upload misleading graph at fake news conference, but is found in possession of child porn!
too long, and needs focus, and mroe truthiness, but…
maybe
National Review staff member possesses childish porn
then describe how misleading graphs are like childish pornography.
this is a bad example.
i think it’d be more, presenting falsified graphs like the National Review does to promote leftist ideas.
