They shouldn’t, but they can.

It’s a really bad idea for them to do so.

It seems so strange to me that you’re focused on straps and ignoring the heels. There’s nothing about either of those shoes that make any sense.

Breathalyzers are for if you want to find out if someone is actually intoxicated.

Field sobriety tests are for when you want to arrest someone who isn’t intoxicated.

The administration has had a similar impact on most of the country.

Yeah, it was a bullshit analogy.

Just like yours.

I thought that’s what we were doing.

Taiwan is a representative democracy now, not a dictatorship.

I think a slightly better analogy, if you’re serious, would be the relationship of the U.S. and Cuba (to make you feel better, I’ll go along with your propaganda and pretend that the U.S. is the only bad guy in the world).

So, China and Taiwan are like if the U.S. tried to control Cuba and failed, and then some other country from the other side of the world (just for example, let’s suggest it was Russia), stepped in to prop up and protect Cuba.

So, can you see how maybe what would be best for everyone is that the Cubans should get to decide on their own how they are governed? Much like the people of Taiwan, through their representative democracy, should be able to tell China to piss off already.

I disagree.

A broken pencil can be sharpened.

That’s funny. I’m 55 and the reason I’m pro-palestine is the American doctors working there who reported that they worked on babies that were intentionally shot.

Out of the 53 American medical workers surveyed who did emergency care for children in Gaza, 44 said they saw kids shot in the head or chest. Here’s Mark.

83% said they saw a child who was shot in the chest or head-- 83%. So it’s not just my finding.

Could you describe that moment when you saw just how many?

Mark Perlmutter

Oh, I cried. Yeah, because it gave a number to the tragedy.

Feroze published an op ed in the New York Times with the results of the survey. A group of the doctors wrote two letters to then President Biden outlining what they saw. Feroze thought that would mean two things-- they’d get a call from the White House and there’d be an investigation.

Which is, of course, the reason there could be no survivors.

Technically, I’m past the point of needing it. It’s more just to support a company that isn’t total shit.

I’ve got to get to Costco and sign up.

Your understanding of the term, assuming you replaced “fucked” with “fudged”, is correct. The explanation given by the father was a lie to avoid teaching curse words to a child.

As expected by anyone paying attention.

Personally, I’ve never liked the taste of beer. It’s just not my thing.

I’ve always assumed I wouldn’t like the taste of piss either, although I never tried and I never imagined the flavors would be similar.

I’m left wondering how you determined that beer tastes like piss. Did you do a comparison? Did you do a peepsi challenge?

Law enforcement sources later identified Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, as the suspect, CBS and NBC reported.

Can we fire all the rest of the traitors starting at the top?

We do about $300/kid. We haven’t increased that over the years with inflation.

Kid’s are all grown up now. A couple years ago we started having everyone make Amazon wishlists. It was too difficult to figure out what everyone wanted. The wishlists make it easier for everyone. Also, we can put all our purchases on an Amazon store card and get 12 months interest free.

(I know. Amazon.)

Last year I also gave each kid a $300 Amazon gift card because everything sucks, and I didn’t want them to feel pressure for the holiday. I’ll do that again this year.

It probably seems crazy, but it works for us.

I had a rule for my kids for dealing with bullies in school.

First, tell a teacher.

If that doesn’t work, tell me, and I’ll tell the principal.

If that doesn’t work, deal with it yourself, but avoid causing permanent damage.

I never really expected telling the teacher or the principal would help. I just wanted it on the record in case shit went down and lawyers had to get involved.

Similarly, Trump hasn’t shown much gratitude to the country for forcing the release of the Epstein files.

They need to make it clear that this is just another in a long line of attempts by the US government to kill off all the Native Americans.

If you frame it right, it might _increase_n vaccine acceptance.

Probably not.

Native Americans: get your vaccines, save your people! After the idiots in the US government kill off all the white people, maybe you can take everything back!
