I would disagree. I used to live in Rosman, NC, about an hour south of Asheville.

This is absolutely a precedented tragedy. It is run of the mill. That’s because of climate change. Because of climate change, these 100 year floods are occurring once a decade. Yes, this is the biggest in those hundred years, but there are communities who are enormously affected by this regularly.

Calling it unprecedented plays into climate deniers hands. It wasn’t normal. But it is becoming normal. It is precedented. We caused it. If it’s unprecedented, people will ignore it as an oddity, an outlier. But people living there should expect this.

Pouring it into his own mouth, mostly.

Bart Starr was pretty cool. Seems like a nice guy.

It’s göring to come back and bite them.

Maybe a little, gold sombrero on an armband.

Sort of. She also has some Russian ties.

While I don’t think she is some kind of Soviet black ops plant, she’s secured funding many times by less savory means. That does mean the things she says and does require a little extra thought though.

I do wish it wasn’t part of the “assassinate the left, cozy towards center” mentality that democrats are embracing.

I have a cool blog I made for class with lots of techy stuff. Can you check it out and tell me what you think?

Yeah, there’s a lot of contradiction and apologetics when it comes to Bush. He can’t be an evil, cunning, crafty, bumbling ignoramus, all at once. He’s definitely an idiot who knowingly employed some evil people. In my mind, that makes him pretty awful, but some people feel differently for some reason.

I hate this brand of pseudo-intellectualism.

Adversity doesn’t mean you’re right. Lack of adversity doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It just means some people agree with you and some people disagree. That’s it.

There are a billion ways that people are suffering. You can talk about any of them. Inventing new ones doesn’t mean you care. It means the opposite.

No, no, the thought is “They’re just a liberal crisis actor trying to take away the one thing that makes me feel cool and powerful because my life is a heap of dogshit,” then they pray for you to go to hell. Easy!

Women are not good for the new photo of the world around you and the world is the most beautiful thing in the world and in the world and in the world and in the world and in the world and in the world and in the world and in the world and in the world.

Gottem?

Planning is only as good as the planner. Sometimes you still end up giving a press conference at the wrong Four Seasons.

I don’t they were holding back. Hitler isn’t particularly known for his restraint. It was just more rudimentary technology. There were only around 2000ish planes on either side, and they weren’t committing everything every day. The planes were smaller, the bombs weren’t as destructive, and targeting was pretty basic. They absolutely did tons of damage, but it took months.

Carrying out a similar engagement today would level a city in hours, maybe days.

Subway spent a long time and a lot of marketing money training their customers that a sandwich should cost $5 and taste fine. Not great, but fine. But then the doubled the cost and halved the quality. They spent years teaching customers to avoid the sandwich they now serve.

Little Caesars had a similar problem, but instead of doubling the price, they raised it $1. Cheap pizza for $5 is fine, and cheap pizza for $6 still feels fine.

Yeah, but we sure kept Saddam from nuking anyone with his many, many WMDs.

I have a son that loves ballet. He’s 3 and loves to dance. I could beat him, because ballet is arbitrarily "girly, " or I could encourage him to do things he loves.

I am much more interested in him being a kind, well-rounded person than I am interested in him being someone else’s stereotype of a man.

I kind of still dislike some of the even more nuanced discussion around gender because it’s goal can still be to categorize. More precisely, but still occasionally hurtful. I would love for everyone to be happy as they are, undefined by anyone but themselves. I’ve known people who came through so many awful experiences, and some found comfort in the group acceptance of a new gender definition, but the ones I know who are happiest eventually shrug that off entirely and find full self-acceptance. It’s so hard to do, and not everyone can, but gender acceptance is only a stepping stone in the path to self-acceptance.

It depends on where that conservative lives. If they’re in a blue state, maybe. But if they’re in a red state they’re convinced this is a coup because they don’t know anyone who’s voting for Harris. How the hell can she be ahead in the polls if nobody I know in Podunk, Tennessee is voting for her. To them, it’s all fake news. It’s a conspiracy. All the same idiotic head-in-sand crap as last time.

I think he would be confused regardless. The fact that she’s biracial compounds it. People love to categorize others into boxes they understand. It often results in racism, but it usually results in a kind of obstinate ignorance. There are many people who fundamentally cannot seem to understand that Indians are Asian, even if they’re pretty brown. They also don’t understand that a Jamaican who’s a descendant of slaves is African-American. That someone can be both of these impossible (in their mind) things is just outlandish.

I know a guy who’s black and British, and I have heard him explain how he isn’t African-American so many times. Whatever white person receives the explanation never really believes it and always treats it like it’s a trick. I know someone else who has a seeing eye dog that’s a mutt, and not some movie-groomed golden retriever. Confusion abounds.
