I am a Republicans, and his snark was awesome and hit right on the (clown) nose.

All the frightened people will leave the next generations to those with hope, industry, and positivity.

Congrats on perpetuating homelessness by disincentivizing renting to tenants on government aid.

The photos at the beginning look sensational.

The actual photos look like a slightly fancier version of me and my buddies going fishing and having a cook out.

>>Slavery and native American genocides are pretty bad

Any student of history would understand that China colonizing the north american continent would have been much much worse for Native Americans. There currently are slaves in China right now.

We need to know so we can understand what we're doing that could lead to another disaster.

Among the possibilities: wet markets, exploring caves, gain of function research, unclean cooking practices, or it could be just bad luck.

Each of those would lead us to drastically differing ways of trying to mitigate the next virus.

Volkswagens diesels illegally spewing excess particulates have killed vastly more people than Japan's nuclear meltdown. Estimates are about 40 people.

HBO keeps tying to get me to watch Velma. It's hot woke garbage wrapped in bad story telling.

I'm ok with people taking recreational drugs as long as they don't ask for a handout if they eventually ruin their own lives.

I'm kinda done with subsidizing other people rotten choices.

The only way dowsing could be remotely useful is to keep the practitioners focus on the task at hand and thereby increasing the ability to perceive the evidence around them gained by observation,.

Taking over other countries is very european.

If you just let them behave as normal you will have exceptionally hard time. Unless you're are really doing your best to correct them and meet behavioral expectations, then you'll find people are very forgiving. But truly, you'll have to show that you're trying.

It's fair to say the culture is younger, but they have a very complete Shinto deity mythos that's just as lavish and nuanced as the Greek gods.

The isolation provided by being an hard to reach island has, in my opinion, made their culture quite differentiated and useful to contrast my own culture with.

For example, I learned from the Japanese that children are much more capable than my own culture thinks they are. So I don't coddle them as much as my peers do.

I wish we had a testable good behavior standard for dogs. If the dog passes then they would get more opportunities to do things like ride trains.

The typical flippant dismissal of Atlas Shrugged kept me from reading it until well into my 40's.

I'm not a huge fan of the book, but for me it was a viewpoint often missing now days. For some people it's a good wake up call. If one want to trade in some of our sicker tendencies in this society for better virtues then perhaps it may be appropriate.

We've adopted "everyone cleans toilets" in our company

0) It keeps me (the CEO) humble 1) It weeds out the prima-donnas 3) It develops respect, everyone leaves the toilet better than they found it

I work around people who are reluctant to give an honest appraisal because of the fear of legal repercussions by asking:

"Would you hire this person again?" We get a 99% answer rate on that question.

Also... the growing movement to sexualize other people's children.

Perhaps the question is interpreted differently when you ask privately.

If you were to ask me in public I would say that gender identity is an inappropriate topic for young children. But as a parent, I know my own kids can handle a "woke" teacher. In fact, it's good for them to see a concrete example of what we're talking about, so I would answer the question differently in private because I would be answering for my own family and not for what I think would be good for society.

As long as it's measured by MPG per occupied seat. Our family fills our Dodge Durango and gets better MPG per occupied seat than a single driver Smart car.

20 MPG * 6 > 42 MPG * 1
