Ugh, I am having flashbacks of when my grandma talked about the one drop rule… She told us stories of what it was like being black in the 1950s. I just can’t imagine the public letting things go back to that point, but with the insanity I’ve been seeing…

I wonder if that’s also the reason pasture raised eggs are cheaper and more available than the other types of eggs where I live. I kid you not, the pasture raised eggs are $3-$4 less than the other types. Free range eggs are $2-$3 cheaper. There are also backyard eggs available for even cheaper.

So… what happens now that there are more multiracial children and couples more than ever? More non-white individuals than before? The shift in acceptance has changed so much, even from the 90s.

So glad I came back to Linux a couple years ago. I only use my windows partition to play a game that won’t work as well in Linux, and that list is pretty small for the games I play. Even BG3 worked great in Mint, using a 6 year old build.

Some of us are, but when I speak of these things out loud, I even sound crazy to myself. It’s just so unbelievable.

So wait… Couldn’t they just simply request a copy of a child’s yearly physical from their physician? For example, in the 90s/2000s, if we wanted to join a sport we had to get a physical from our GP of choice so the doctor can confirm it was safe for us to play the sport in question. It was a form the doctor and parent filled out, then gave to the school. I would think something like that was already a thing?? I also remember my parents having to submit certain medical records to my schools for other reasons… Why would anyone else need to examine these children???

Trump crap was taken down on any neighbor’s homes (and there weren’t many) except one (and they have it kinda hidden) after 2020. Anyone supporting Trump at this point is an idiot, cruel, or both.

Unless it can be a legit personal assistant, I’m not actually interested. Companies hyped AI way too much.

When everyone is fearful be greedy…

I just do automatic investments in a diversified portfolio every month and forget about it. I’m young and in it for the long haul. If shit really hits the fan, none of it will matter anyway.

I thought 6 hours per day were best? Also, where I work, we’ve gone through voluntary overtime, working 60 hour weeks. People start to look like zombies and were more prone to mistakes by week three. It is simply not sustainable.

EDIT: spelling/grammar

When I was younger, I was confused as to why fluoride was in water, since we would receive regular fluoride tablets in grade school. I’m sure not every school does that…
