If you're working in the attic, under the house, around dirt/dust/debris wear a mask/respirator. It's so nice to be able to take deep breaths without coughing later in life (and outclass your peers in the stamina department) 👍
Pro tip: Even though they're bigger and bulkier respirators are much more comfy than masks.
Cool: She already has the title of "first woman president" which she held for a little over an hour:
On November 19, 2021, Harris served as acting president from 10:10 to 11:35 am EST, while President Biden underwent a colonoscopy. She became the first woman, and the third person overall, to assume the powers and duties of the U.S. presidency under Section 3 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment.
Maybe we should take a page from the Trumpers here and declare it a conspiracy!
The deep state doesn't want people following Harris! They don't want you to know about it. They think they know better than you!
"Let me tell you, folks, I know how to follow people and this Twitter situation smells. I know all about smelling. Smells. Smelling. Smell... Ling! The word just sounds awful, right? They want you to smell things. They're coming for your smells!"
Haha, yeah... This is Elon Musk's X.com we're talking about. It's just sheer incompetence and the usual buggy bullshit. We should expect this as normal X behavior at this point. Is anyone really surprised that X is suddenly throwing errors when users try basic functionality? Come on. The platform is garbage and that's not even taking account the garbage present on the platform.
Unless the president does something monumentally stupid (like telling people not to wear masks during a pandemic) the president has little impact on the economy (or oil prices). Why do people keep talking about the president like he's got a great big series of valves that controls the economy? It's ridiculous!
Any decision the president makes that will impact the economy is most likely to have an impact ten years later. Sometimes an impact can be felt sooner than that but it's usually not a good thing for the economy... Like starting a war or closing the borders.
Congratulations conservatives! With this ruling, you just drastically increased the size of the Federal government.
Simple administrative rulings are gone so now we're going to end up with five zillion more expensive lawyers, a lot more judges, and a gazillion more cases before the courts.
It'll also increase the cost of doing business! Because now instead of just having to occasionally deal with an administrative body full of technical people who know what matters and what doesn't every company is now going to have to hire teams of lawyers to defend themselves in court and explain every little thing to a jury of total laymen.
The companies that violate the law regularly with the intent to "just pay the fines" will now have to defend themselves in court over and over and over again. You think immigration courts are overloaded? Now every federal court will be!
Perhaps they thought this would just result in businesses no longer having to comply with regulations? Hell no. Next year's Federal budget is going to balloon in order to pay for all these new inefficiencies.
They are insane.
Of course, this is conservatives modus operandi: Don't bother looking at real outcomes and real consequences of their actions! Instead, look towards tradition and religion and only that which is right in front of their face.
Men shouldn't be allowed near children that aren't their own. It's rarely stated but regularly assumed.
Unless it runs Linux it doesn't stand a chance. The moment you decide to sell a handheld gaming console running Windows you doom it to failure. It's the worst OS possible for that purpose.
"We are living in a highly sexualized society."
History would disagree. We're still living in a society shaped by Quaker beliefs about sex, children, and the human body in general.
It's telling that the article didn't interview anyone with expertise on the history of sex or people who study sex professionally (as academic scientists and researchers). Porn is definitely more easily viewed than ever before and that may be shaping kids views of sexuality but how is that shaping adult's views of sexuality? Why are kids special?
I'll tell you why kids are special: It's because it has become acceptable to assume that kids being exposed to sex of any kind is somehow "bad". Nowhere in the article do they talk about why it is that kids aren't learning about healthy sexual relationships: Because we hide that from them.
No one wants to talk to their kids about sex but if there's one thing you should tell kids (not just your own!) about porn it's this: It's fake
You've set off my 1984 alarm: Never use the term, "thought police" in reference to private individuals making decisions about others actions. If you actually read 1984 (it's a short book and easy to find online, go read it) the Thought Police were part of the government. As in, policing people's thoughts was a function of the government (in order to maintain the status quo, avoiding change aka extreme conservativism).
Here, you're referring to a collection of people that have decided--on their own--to boycott a comedian because they don't like where he stands on certain topics. That's not Thought Police! Call them snowflakes or "too sensitive" or "hysterical" or some other bullshit (don't care, really) but please for the love of Orwell stop using that term to refer to non-governmental entities or the actions of people that aren't part of any authority.
When the government starts cracking down on people's speech then by all means refer to this action as, "Thought Police".

This one trick explains why people who use Linux love it so much!
Texas: We want more teen births! We want more abortions! Especially unsafe illegal ones! This is the Christian way!
