I have lived in Europe and I know that can be a viable option for many people. But there are many places in the US where there are no real alternatives to a car. I have lived in my house for 18 years, bought at the beginning of 2007 before the market bubble popped and haven’t been able to afford to move since then. In 18 years I have seen exactly two people riding a bike near my home and I sometimes wonder if they’re still alive.
Yes - housing, food and transportation are beyond my means
I’m happy about it. I don’t go to the gym though. Anatoly makes some great content.
I think we should just aggressively limit their authority. Essentially saying you can’t make a contract that exceeds our defined limits. If you do, the entire contract is void, not just the parts that cross the line. Let’s put them on eggshells so they don’t lose what little authority we allow them to have. I live in a suburb with no HOA. Really missing city community though.
Jesus did it after his resurrection too. Appeared in a locked room full of people. Appeared and disappeared more than once. I think there’s at least one additional instance that wasn’t mentioned in the other comment but I don’t keep this top of mind. It’s not like it’s common in the Bible, but apparently it is in the realm of possibility.
Personally - and this goes to crazy theory BS, I wonder if the tower of Babel wasn’t trying to reach the stars not by building tall enough to exit the atmosphere, but rather by teleporting there? There are some crazy theories about the age and purpose of the pyramids (it’s super unlikely they were tombs). Could that have been it? I also wonder if levitation was in the mix. What if ancient man was ridiculously smarter than we are? We dismiss people living to 900+ years old, but if you lived that long and also knew Adam who walked with God, who knows what the fuck you could do? I know it’s crazy as anything but I don’t mind letting my brain go to crazy "what if"s.
I mean it’s in the context. They’re shutting down rare mineral resources but given a few years other countries can replace those supplies. If China wants to cripple certain abilities, they probably want to act before we have found workarounds for their actions. Also, as crazy as Trump has seemed so far, the US is nowhere near uninfluential. Yet. He gained influence during his last term. I wouldn’t write him off as completely insane just yet.
Honestly I have received the same treatment for decades on different occasions. Mostly when I had long hair, I was detained so many times for no reason. Sometimes handcuffed, often illegally searched. They profile the fuck out of everyone, it’s been this way forever. I’m not saying it isn’t getting worse.
My family is traveling to Toronto in a little while and we decided to plan a short travel day on our return trip in case the border takes too long. My longest US border detainment was 4 hrs. Me and three friends had spent a few days camping in British Columbia in college. They searched everything, interviewed us all separately. That one was 30 years ago but I’ve had more recent events too
If you think this stuff is new you haven’t been paying attention. It’s why I’m a constitutional rights advocate now. No matter what party is in power, the government needs limits.
This makes me think they’re going to move on Taiwan sooner rather than later.
There is teleportation in the Bible. Humanity just needs to up their game.
At most this is a delay, if that.
I’ve lived so many places. States. Countries. I’ve never met an open Nazi. I’ve seen them on the internet though.
It depends on if you’re calling Nazis Nazis, or all Republican voters Nazis. Statistically, a bunch of Obama voters also voted for Trump. The Nazi messaging is really tired to swing voters.
Thriller was the first music I ever bought. LP vinyl.
Meh, a 3C future probably isn’t too terrible for Canada.
Most people have never met a Nazi, or at least not one who is openly a Nazi. Unless you mean everyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi. I’ll just say that message isn’t winning voters, but you do you.
Some women have never been told no. It can be more fun than saying yes sometimes though.
