Some people just want to be criminals. They are gamblers or just enjoy feeling superior

That's not all. Apparently a chemical added to extend tire life (sort of good from an environmental standpoint) turns out to leach into water and kill fish, so...

Of all the times to worry about being perceived as opportunistic "on the way out". After a year of worrying about perception "during the campaign". And three other years of "reaching across the aisle". Like trying to choose a place to eat with my family except it's the direction of our country in a time of rapid global change.

You're the one giving them money every day for sugar water. I just said to maybe stop?

I'm not trying to change billions of people's habits, just a few that I know and love :)

But, I don't think I'm alone.

Where is the button I push to dissolve CocaCola? Our pure hatred isn't going to do it.

Everyone wishes they could somehow multiply their own influence over the world, but being just one person is no reason to give in and do what they told you.

Voting once a year with a Coke in your other hand is a recipe for status quo.

I'm just going to be unpopular for a minute here and say if you find yourself drinking out of single use disposable containers everyday, take some time to see if you can change that, even a little bit.

The future "goals" listed here are so lame I don't think you can pretend there's a sustainable way for billions of people to have that habit.

Landlords are always complaining how hard it is to evict bad tenants or screen new ones, but the way they are willing to ditch long term tenants to chase a few bucks makes clear they are not taking their share of the risk. The long term tenant they already know should be more valuable. In fact, though, I think most of them are just bad at business and think the rules should help them succeed anyway.

I think it's pretty clear extreme fatness (and the resulting dependence) was either intentional to keep everyone basically sedated for 700 years, or the natural side effect of that sedation.

It's saying that it doesn't match the job-seekers profile, ie seeker does not meet requirement

The first proposal for separate Jewish and Arab states in the territory was made by the British Peel Commission report in 1937.[3] In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a partition plan for Palestine, leading to the 1948 Palestine war.[4][5] As a result, Israel was established on the area the UN had proposed for the Jewish state, as well as almost 60% of the area proposed for the Arab state. Israel took control of West Jerusalem, which was meant to be part of an international zone. Jordan took control of East Jerusalem and what became known as the West Bank, annexing it the following year. The territory which became the Gaza Strip was occupied by Egypt but never annexed. Since the 1967 Six-Day War, both the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and Gaza Strip have been militarily occupied by Israel, becoming known as the Palestinian territories.

Basically from the beginning until 2014, that has been the basis of every proposal.

In October 2024, Salt Typhoon was discovered to have exploited backdoors in US internet service provider networks used by law enforcement agencies to facilitate court-authorized wiretapping.[9] Affected networks included those of AT&T, Verizon, Lumen Technologies, and T-Mobile.

What is it with all this regulation? I'll be so happy when people are free to make their own choices based on myth and legend

Adding to this, beware of progressive lenses. Get dedicated readers if you need them for the distance of your screen so you don't have to tilt your head even a little.

I think op is right. A new law that says you have to own real estate to vote would have been unconstitutional before and is not now.

The two parties are not going to figure this out. I think we are in the middle of one of those major shifts in the landscape. Probably still end up with only two, and one of them might keep its name, but it seems to me this country's leadership has simply outlived its ability to sense the world around it. They've patched over all sensory organs with some kind of insider-curated feed.

Oh, funny, I was thinking maybe it was written for two audience with different terminology where one names wind by where it's going and the other by where it came from. Somehow the truth is more aggravating.

I like your idea, but it just brings to mind how fragile all of our digital media is, not to mention the surrounding tech necessary to read and understand it. What we know works is to press your message to the future, grocery bill, whatever, into clay and then accidentally burn the city down around it -- good for millennia.

I wonder if it would take more or less time with auto-complete.

Maybe just an awkward sales agent, or they thought you were mad at them for in their mind trying to help. I decline phone number and zip code all the time. Also been using someone else's phone number at grocery stores for years -- started by mistake. I don't care about accumulated points or whatever but discounts at grocery store are pretty significant for me.

But I understand your frustration in general. Keep up the good fight :)
