Where are you planning to go? I'm inclined to want to leave, but I have no idea where to go.

Adam Something is a favorite of mine.

So when hard times come to the executives, then it's a problem. Got it.

I tried explaining universal precautions to a pastor of a church I was attending, and pointed out that there is a Christian commandment to love one's neighbor that overrides one's personal desires. He could not dispute my points, but he also didn't do anything to implement safety procedures.

Guess who left the church after the unsurprising COVID outbreak?

I realize a lot of people here aren't believers, but my point is that even within the context of religion or common wisdom, masks make sense.

There's been a lot of talk lately about how decades of lead in gasoline, pipes, and in other places likely damaged generations of people's ability to reason. I'm sincerely beginning to think this is a bigger problem than we'll ever truly know.

Yeah, it's weird that we've relegated this amazing technology that lets you communicate by voice (and now video) to the back burner in favor of a far more cumbersome one that removes so much context in terms of tone.

Didn't gun control ramp up when the Black Panthers started exercising their rights to bear arms? Funny thing is the Panthers seem much more like a "well-regulated militia" than this Wild West, permitless carry, anything goes BS.

I believe Mr. Rogers could have resisted the One Ring, Tom Bombadil-style.

I'm sorry, but I've got to skip to the third verse...

He looks like one of those star wars ships with the wings that rotate around the fuselage.

I enjoy Sam's Club's "Scan and Go" feature in their app. I scan my items and pay in the app. I never have to interact with a soul, and that's peachy keen in my book.

It's a good stick. Not as good as the one I saw on the Internet recently that had a nearly perfect guard and hilt like a sword, but still pretty awesome.

For the people that want to ban sticks here: please don't take away my joy!
