USA can't even fix the drug trade domestically. Hint: we're complicit.

The witch trials here in USA were ugly, too.

The Handmaid's Tale is upon us. It's available free to listen online.

And still charge insanely high prices. A side note: a local used to work at a now-closed child medicine manufacturing facility. His behavior became so volatile, everyone blamed it on that, but also he was in late adolescence under extreme conditions of despair.

Kind of begs the question of safe spaces and snowflakes, doesn't it?

Your second example-- I was recently in an online "first cause" discussion. One user put forth "God" because the idea that matter has always existed was ridiculous. When I asked from whence God came, he ironically said God just always was with a lot of circular babble. There may be a god, but the idea that that being requires no first cause but matter does is just dumbfounding.

Some seem to have followed the exodus here.

Yes and I live in one, and like one of the employees. She's always helpful and has a sunny disposition, and super helpful, despite the ridiculous amount of burden she bears. I complimented her on it, one day while berating corporate for that burden and not paying employees properly. She just agreed and said it's not the customers' fault so any problems she has, work related or not, got left outside. I bet those well-salaried executives could learn from her.

He's a human being and all candidates work for the same bosses, which aren't the people.

No the prisoners forced to farm the corn earn those from the overseers prison guards.

Edited. I hate this device.

Quite a few possibilities. Russia is less popular than ever.

I wasn't trying to be insulting, I was trying to lazily browse before sleep, and the reply to an offhand musing seemed frankly rude in tone.

Sometimes it's okay to analyze further than an initial thought for days without replying and sometimes it's ok to make a considered comment weekend a detailed analysis on the spot while browsing the Internet.

May it be so much better.

I loathe phonelink so much, after trying to use it for a week.

That's why the US is suing them (locking people to Apple devices).

Break it down sentence by sentence. It's neither rambling, nor word salad.

Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss and a comment is just a comment. Russia bad, but they do good things, sometimes (like blocking recent UN resos). So I do not kneejerk default to blaming Russia. I do tend to be more critical of my own country, having dug deeper than the whitewashed revisionist history they serve in public schools, moreso in public schools. So I was actually thinking his my own country directly contributed to the creation of the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and Da'esh. If that bothers you, that's a you problem and nothing to do with me.

Paywall warning

Krebs is awesome. That's one person I'm very glad left the government job for the private sector. Snowden and Manning are the others.

Yes, here too.
