I dunno, Lauren, I think they might just hate you. Specifically.

What 'ruined' Christmas this year was having to go home and spend it with my parents, one of whom is bedridden and non responsive from Alzheimers. It's more akin to a wake where everyone is focused on someone who is dead and there's little joy to be had. I've been doing it now for 5 years and there's no sign that it will end soon.

It is incredibly stressful and morose. Christmas isn't really joyful anymore because Mom could die at any time. The worst part of it is that all of us recognize that she's suffering and so are we, but the government won't allow any other outcome.

Still, the family shows up and puts in the work for caring for her for many reasons, the least of which is that she raised us for almost 20 years. She was a wonderful person and she's owed that, bottom line. It is uplifting in a way because we come together and work together for a purpose and while it's hard and sad, we've bonded over it nonetheless.

But.. what kind of Christmas will we have once she's gone?

Not entirely sure what you mean, but the image in the thumbnail is taken from a video describing an old theory that stars might have a black hole at their center. It would just look like a star. You couldn't see the black hole, but they visually cut out a section allowing you to see the center.

The question of dark matter is something that is gravitational and invisible spread in patches around the universe that can't seem to be tracked. The idea of primordial black holes (that are clearly gravitational and they are invisible) fits the amount of dark matter predicted by our mathematical calculations under specific circumstances which are detailed in the video. It's a theory, it's not proven, but would answer a lot of questions.

As far as the gravitational well question... there's only so much matter that can fit into an atom sized aperature, and all the rest of the matter trying to fit in ends up rotating around the black hole so fast that it flings away other matter trying to get in. Does that help?

I'll go out on a limb and say it emboldens anyone that thinks the swamp is rigging the entire system against him, making him some kind of martyr for the cause and rallying people to vote.

For my part I think it may open the floodgates to other states to do the same thing. Would those other states have ever gone Red in the election? Up for debate, but if they do they'll have to go red for another candidate.

Video beamed. Video intercepted by aliens. Think cats rule earth.

They're right.

That's Tennessee...

you can say that again

He's right as far as mortgages go, which is one of the most abusive financial albatrosses a person can wear. Nobody tells people that they're going to actually pay 3 to 4 times the amount they bought the house for when they sign the papers.

But where does he even get the idea that rent is less than a mortgage at this point? That's sure not what it looks like to me.

Ironically means that everything I watch on my Linux machine will definitely be pirated.

Not to mention that CO2 was previously captured before you can even put it into your drink. taps temple knowingly

Aww I sure hope you aren't basing your opinion off of one of the most purposefully offensive shows out there haha. Indian food is known for its potential heat and the corresponding affects.. and more often than not the joke is about stupid americans who think they're chads who go for the multiple star rating and pay the price. Peter from Family Guy is beloved because of his stupid decisions and we laugh at the consequences!

Also, Indian food is not the only example of this.. Thai Food is my particular masochistic joy =) Give me that pain! It tastes so good!

Yeah I'd like to see some examples. Everyone I know loves Indian food. Hope you're not some kind of troll. Give me that curry, man!

Home Ownership and protecting the middle class used to be phrases so often uttered by the Republicans 40 years ago that I yawned.

I'm glad to see someone pick up the gauntlet. Boggles the mind that this hasn't become a huge political issue yet.

I'd like to add a stipulation to the question as I actually have friends like this.

How do you justify using take out delivery services for ALL your meals. I mean, come on y'all. wtf

It's real and it's happening everywhere.

I think what bothers me the most about the developer responses was that they sounded like Chat GPT.

Like you get past the first paragraph and you already know what the whole 4 more paragraphs is gonna say, just in a different way.

Ooh that's nice! I'll give that a go. Thank you =)

I still have problems with any game in the Heroic Launcher that has well... its own launcher. Just can't get em to work at all.

While his later years were definitely marked with controversy and dumb to the point of evil decisions, he made decisions in earlier presidencies that without a doubt were helpful. You gotta understand this time period was what bought him the credence he used to get people to trust his later decisions.

Decisions we now universally regret.
