Right on, Miss Mary Edwards! And Seth Owen -- glad you got a happy ending! I enjoyed the funny links at the top of the post too.
Chronic pain is real and it does suck.
I don't understand the anti-vaxxers. Vaccinate your kids and stop spreading measles. Good grief.
The link to the round-up of "2018's best anti-vaccine dumbth". HAHAHAHA! That had me roaring with laughter, especially the one with someone using the plague to support an argument against vaccines! Holy shit... How do you have a logical discussion with that type of individual?
This is another great list of links, thanks for always sharing such information. I always learn something when I visit here. I especially like the one about "Do not punish the behavior you want to see".
I just don't get anti-vaxxers! At all. How can someone risk their children's (and other people's children's) lives?
Oh and the religulous are a neverending source of head scratching.
XOXO
Hey Infidel! ... yeah, the reason I had to do a posting on the border wall here in Texas, because it is shameful, in my view as a Texan, of what this wall crap is doing to these laid back communities on our border. And Trump knows damn well that a large stretch of the Valley and beyond is Democrat majority ... same shit on why he targets places like California.
As far as Booman's piece on Klobochar, I never did like her once I looked at her and listened to her ... period, that's why I like video and face to face with people pieces, answering public's questions, etc. Especially in her recent town hall or whatever it was called, where she was responding to a young man on student debt in the audience, she was just arrogant in my view to the kid. I'll vote for whoever gets the democratic nomination, simply because of this neoliberal desperation on having to compete against billionaire crooks like Trump ... it's sad were in this situation, but it is what it is, eh? I of course like Warren alot, and Sanders, and Gabbard, are my first choices ... but whoever gets it, I'll support.
My mom taught me the Quija Board and Tarrot at about 8 years old, if I recall, even though she came out of a catholic familia and was a runaway kid, black sheep or whatever, she was self proclaimed "pagan", and back in them dayz, many folks didnt even know what Pagan was. My dad wasn't into any of that stuff or religion much (never would talk about it), he was as different from my mom as night and day though.
Speaking of religion though and the church ... I've known about Nadia Weber for some time ... I'm not a religious person or believe in any of the concepts of God these folks espouse, but I do support ones right to worship or whatever, and the fact is, many folks that do believe for years have been shunned by mainstream preachers and religions, such a LGBT people. Nadia caters to the left out disenfranchised who are rejected in our institutionalized incorporated religion giants ... as far as these fundamoralists are concerned in their hate filled monetary gain existences ... they should be praising Nadia, she is more like their biblical hero Jesus, than most of them. She a beautiful woman as well!
Cool piece on the Dutch scientists and detecting far off life or plant forms ... I feel that one day we, or our offspring we call AI, will eventually find life out there.
DW piece on coal and banking finance is real too, it's like a dying business ... coal was cool a 100 years ago, things change ... I hardly ever even heard much talk about Thorium for instance, which is abundant and cheap as Hell ... everything stays in the circles of where the money is until it's rendered obsolete.
Refused gayz service in Jerusalem pizzeria ... that's fundi shit for ya. I actually agree with some businesses declining who they serve ... it's your business, and consumer anger and demand will make or break you ... don't serve me, I don't give a shit ... I'll take my business down the street! You won't find my ass in a Chick- fil- A Fillet either!
Discovering London, love their history preservation and museums too ... great town, especially loved their music scene!
Deceptive packaging, even worse today than it was 40 damn years ago.
Photos of the colourful spring ... beautiful, cruising down rural Texas highwayz in spring is sort of hypnotic to me doing 80mph.
As far as terminology on socialism ... I was talking to some folks at a cookout last summer in rural Texas ... explaining to them, that we have been a Democratic socialist Republic for years ... pointing out all things that even they on the right enjoy, such as your social security, medicare, highways, fire/ rescue, libraries, and the list goes on ... odd how many folks never even thought about that, or even realized they enjoyed socialism ... like I tell these folks, a little socialism is is alwayz good for healthy capitalism.
As to bad URLs...
Quite a few years ago the electricity company PowerGen set-up an Italian subsidiary. Think about it...
Debra: I'm glad Owen got a happy ending too, but I think the pain of what happened will never really pass.
Mary: Chronic pain is so debilitating. Before I had it I never realized all the ways it affects a person.
Martha: The degree of stupidity in the bottom 20% dumbest of the gene pool can be amazing sometimes. I'm glad they at least provide some laughs, given all the problems they create.
Dellgirl: Thanks! That "do not punish" one was a painful reminder of what introverts and other psychologically-atypical people have to go through before they're old enough to be independent.
Sixpence: I think the developed world has been so free of most major diseases for so long (largely thanks to vaccines) that they just don't take the threat seriously. They think it's always been like this.
Thomas: I thought your post would be revealing for people in other parts of the country. So many people think of the border as a stark discontinuity between two different worlds, like the Iron Curtain, and don't realize all the local family and cultural and business ties that exist between people on both sides, just like on the Canadian border.
The reporting on Klobuchar's nasty treatment of her employees is a legitimate issue, just like with Trump being an asshole to work for. Yelling and throwing things at people is not normal. I've never had a boss that bad. And we have plenty of other options for candidates.
Coal needs to be phased out. It's the dirtiest major energy source there is.
Even though Israel is tiny, it seems to have an even wider spectrum of religious fanatics to secular people than the US does. And the fanatics are equally bad, and remarkably similar, in every religion.
Nick: That sounds as bad as the notorious URL for Pen Island.
