The leaving the room one reminds me of my wife who when leaving for a night out gives me detailed instructions on how to take care of the kids. I normally do the primary care giving when she's in the house..... it's very strange.

seems possible, but I've met too many women who think like this so I'm not sure.

 I agree absolutely that climate science is more alarmism than facts. I'm old and the climate alarmists have been predicting imminent danger since I can remember.    The only thing I'm not agreeing to is that "Man-made global warming is about as real as the easter bunny" as someone (not you) posted.   I don't believe we are in imminent danger, I do believe we can fix it, but I also have seen man made destruction with my own eyes and believe we need to be good stewards of the planet.   I'll have to better educate myself on the ozone depletion. 

Brilliant, that's totally what I suggested. Magic torpedos. You are totally right I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Or we could admit that people can effect their environment. That we absolutely caused the dust bowl in the 30's with irresponsible farming and the ozone hole in the 80's due to strange chemicals. We fixed those problems, and I believe we can fix climate change (if it's even turns out to be a big deal), but the idea that we can't do any harm no matter how careless we are is short-sighted and irresponsible.

  The biggest problem is the people telling us we're all going to die in 10 years are authoritarian liars who just want to control us; and the people telling us it's no big deal are the people making billions of dollars a year creating the problem and will undoubtedly make billions more fixing the problem when it becomes too big.  Neither group can be trusted so we're stuck in the middle doing nothing.

The idea that we as a species can't effect the climate is silly. Of course we can, we do it in miniature all the time. We have plans to do it on Mars, where we call it teraforming. The question is how much and how big a problem is it.

Also climate alarmists are stupid and can't seem to do math.

utqiagvik. I don't do pronunciation symbols but oot-E-ah-vik It looks funny but pronounces fine. The thing about utqiagvik is it was and still is a native village. It is not populated with white people. You can't drive there, there isn't really much industry. The only reason you'd want to live there is you really hate people, but not so much to live completely in the wilderness or you've always lived there.

I was told, and I don't know if it's true, that this was mostly about the "knowingly" part of that crime. People weren't getting tested so they couldn't "knowingly" pass it and the penalties were so high.

I would argue that this isnt vilifying a whole class of people. Women that would encourage you to share your feelings are the same women that would be turned off by that vulnrability. Both a sub class of all women

Certs are bullshit, the stupidest people I know have a ton of certs. I'm guessing teacher hand holding and rote memorization are getting these people through, because they can't troubleshoot for shit.

Laziness. Can't we get a computer to do that for us?

I'm not sure this is affirmative action. This is people are getting stupider. I'm in tech as well and in a hiring position. I've been recruiting for 4 months and I'm going to have to compromise on our already low standards to get any one in. Three years ago my applicant pool would have been full of promising candidates from the experienced veteran to the new and hungry college grad. Now I'm lucky if I can find a high school grad that can correctly identify a computer.

The first season tranny episode was nuanced if not based. The good guys were attrempting to stop the transition.

Krill are the "bad" aliens.

Being principled is the only thing that brings meaning to defeat or victory. Cheating your way to victory is a hollow victory.

The only time it's appropriate to throw out the rules and revolt is when facing an existential threat. Acting like every little set back is an existential threat is what the lefty activists do, and I hate them for it. I have no problem hating you for the same. You will live through this set back, and we will be back and stronger.

Exactly this, the gamers are dead articles made me realize to them I was racist/sexist/nazi just by living and breathing, meanwhile actual piece of shit ZQ and I'm told to mind my own business. Never trust mainstream culture again.

Thanks for the correction, I see that I am wrong. The Texas law is based on a detectable heartbeat, which while it is short period it should be enough time for most people.

 I'm going to be down voted to hell for this, but 6 weeks pregnant is only two weeks late, and not everyone is regular.   They measure pregnancy from the last menstrual cycle. So by six weeks, you've only been actually pregnant (and detectable) for half that.  Add that in together with time to make an appointment and scheduling time off from work 6 weeks is for most people nearly the same as saying no abortions. If you mean no abortions just make that the law, pretending six weeks is plenty of time is strange.  If you intend abortions to be only for people with nothing else going on in their life ( either the very rich or the very poor) then keep the law at six weeks. 

This is me too.... I just want to be left alone, and I'm all for leaving everyone else alone to their gay marriages and sex changes. Just leave me out of it.

Been playing a lot of boardgames, but as for video games... Hades is a fun dungeon crawl. If you have game pass people should try carrion, it's shortish and killing people is a ton of fun.

I'm really getting tired of the idea that insisting on the truth being a fringe movement.

but what if rejecting who they are IS who they are?

yes I agree.

Lots of things are bad for your mental and physical health, and we do not ban them. We do not live nor do we want to live in a nanny state

Anti-cult training might be useful (or even anti-cult laws).... Certainly we need a change in society where you can't even criticize.

If you drive over the border will the US border guards check your vaccination status? Because driving over you won't have to talk to the Canadian border guards.

My kids also love that book, but it looks like they've basically abandoned the source material and that's never a good sign, whether they've gone woke or not. Let me know how it is if you watch it.
