It can be both.

I was watching a PBS documentary about the first humans in the Americas. All the scientists are super cool until you get to the American anthropologist who starts using phrenology to explain why Native American tribes shouldn't be given repatriation rights, only for a Danish geneticist to say "yeah, this is absolutely a Native American and i am willing to testify to that in any court of law"

Pseudoscience is still all the rage if it can be used to push a political agenda.

It's at these levels because cyrpto firms were the largest interest group funneling cash into the 2024 election. it remains nothing more than a bigger fool scam, but this time with the US government's seal of approval.

Yes, we have one party here. But so does America. Except, with typical extravagance, they have two of them!

-Julius Nyerere, 1982

The US has always had two parties that only serve capital and it's interests.

You can complain about that all you want, but the fact that Bitcoin is reaching new record highs tells me that your average person would rather be conned than be told the truth.

If your rolling coal, you are literally pumping unused diesel fuel out the car. You're efficiency is absolute dog shit.

Cincinnati chili comes from Greek and immigrants fleeing the Balkan wars of the 1920's. they got off the boat in New York and saw everyone eating Coney dogs and New York style spaghetti.They then get to Ohio and figure that's what Americans like to eat, so they made a sauce using Mediterranean ingredients and flavors that they were familiar with. If they had called it anything other than chili, it would be widely regarded as Cincinnati's greatest contribution to American cuisine.

Why? So people won't send something to an address known to be a scam?

I'm happy to colonize the intestines of anyone who needs it. Just let me know

I got to Record Riot every time they are in Cleveland. It's a good time to hang out with friends and browse some cool collections. Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space was everything i hoped it would be, and Dreamboat Annie is an absolute banger of an album. I've also been dying to get my Fog On The Tyne to wrap up my Lyndisfarne collection, since my mom was growing up in Newcastle when they were big.

Finally got everyone to the vet today. Both girls were perfect and everyone there loved them. Absolutely no fussing, even when they got theor FVRCP vaccines. Now everyone is sleeping off the excitement. This is the first time i think i have ever seen them sleep in the condo at the same time

I do weekly baking challenges and decided to do Cincinnati chili since it's not a true regional delicacy unkess people argue about it anytime it is brought up. My friends have lived here in NW Ohio for 3 years and mever tried Skyline, so i brought it over to them. I forgot the oyster crackers, and they were hesitant to put the full mountain of cheese, but over all they enjoyed it.

That's her absolute favorite toy, so it stays inside the cat condo on my dresser. Both kitties like to nap up there, but only Nini ever goes in to grab her mouse. And yes, the mouse is named Merlin lol.

Someone just walked into the restaurant i work at, dumped this soaking wet kitten in the lobby, and left without saying a word. I just got a kitten this month, so i took her home with me since i have kitten supplies and everyone else at work has too many pets.

She cried the whole ride home, and my kitten (13 weeks old), Niniane was not happy about the new cat. I took the stray into the bathroom and fed her. Afterwards i weighed her and she wasn't even 2lbs. She was absolutely filthy, so i gave her a quick bath without much struggle.

I dried her off and groomed her with the slicker brush and then let Niniane into the bathroom so they could socialize a bit. Nini was curious, but very standoffish and mostly just hissed while the stray just wanted to climb into my lap. I put a cat hammock, scratching post, and some toys in the bathroom (none of which Nini uses) and have locked the stray in there until i know she is litter trained. Currently she is jist sleeping in the hammock, so i think I'll leave her there for the night and try to socialize the kittens some more tomorrow.

Edit: i think i am gonna call her Boudica. It's much better than "the stray". She just peed in the litter box and even buried it, so that's a massive step. Unfortunately I'm still gonna keep her in in the bathroom for the next few days, but I'm so glad she used the litter box.
